Shadow of the Colossus Hints

How do I reach the colossus's forehead?

  • 1 of 4: Explore this area for a while; see whether you can find something in the environment that will help.
  • 2 of 4: If you wait long enough, Dormin will give you a clue: you need to reach higher ground.
  • 3 of 4: You need to reach the bridges overhead.
  • 4 of 4: From the bridges, you can jump down onto the colossus's head and shoulders, then climb to the forehead.  (You can do this even after the bridges are destroyed; the stubs are still high enough.)
