Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I get on top of the white structures?
1 of 7: Remember how Dormin described this foe: "Thy next foe is... Paradise floats upon the lake... A silent being wields thunder... A moving bridge to higher ground."
2 of 7: The white structures are higher ground. You need a moving bridge to get to them. Can you find it?
3 of 7: The colossus is your moving bridge. Climb on top of the colossus and then jump onto the nearest white structure as he moves toward it.
4 of 7: Normally, the colossus won't get close enough to a white structure to let you jump on it. You'll need to force it to move close enough. Can you figure out how?
5 of 7: Hit the colossus on its weak spots. Can you figure out what they do?
6 of 7: When you hit the weak spot on the right, the colossus turns right. When you hit the weak spot on the left, the colossus turns left. When you hit the weak spot in the center, the colossus moves forward.
7 of 7: Strike the weak spots to force the colossus right next to a white structure. Then you can jump atop the structure.
