Shadow of the Colossus Hints
How do I reach the bridges overhead?
1 of 10: First, you'll have to get off the ground.
2 of 10: Once you're on the first platform, find a way to climb up to the next platform. From there, you can take the stairs up to the bridges. Can you see what to climb on?
3 of 10: You can visit four different places using the tile-stomping trick. Try them all.
4 of 10: There's one platform you can reach on the left near the pillars where you entered this area, and another platform directly across from it on the right. There's also a platform on the left near the middle of the arena, and another platform directly across from it on the right. Look for something to climb.
5 of 10: There are loose blocks on each platform, shaken down from the ceiling above. Eventually, you'll have to climb them to get to the bridges.
6 of 10: Initially, there aren't enough loose blocks to climb up that high. How can you loosen additional blocks?
7 of 10: Use the colossus's attack again.
8 of 10: This time, you'll exploit the colossus's weapon attack.
9 of 10: If you're standing in the right place, the colossus will swing his weapon at you, hitting the pillars next to you. If you're in exactly the right place, that will knock a few more stones loose.
