A great help, thanks. One good shot with the bow will make him drop his sword. When on the ground, jump straight backwards (directly away from colossus) to avoid his fist then run towards the inside of it and grab.
You know, this fight gets only half as awesome with the music off like that. Still, great tutorial. I managed to make him drop the sword with an arrow earlier today, but still couldn't beat him in time. I then spent many subsequent runs trying to repeat that shot. But I would try to shoot him from below, and it never worked. I was almost thinking it had been a bug.
This is such a difficult fight due to how much he squirms when you're on his chest and due to the fact that, for some reason, he would often pull his hand away from me before opening it - making it impossible to grab onto. This trick really helped me out a lot. There's absolutely no way I could have climbed from his chest to his arm before losing stamina.
I didnt realize one of his vitals were on his chest, yesterday i was trying to beat him but in a different way, and since i didnt realize he had a vital in his chest, i shot arrows at him, but when he was low it wasnt working. So thanks for that
Hi Gundam Newtype, i will try your tip, it's too simple on PS4, the reason why we have 11 minutes 30 on PS3, it's much more difficult, the health by stroke full sword is not as huge ..it is extremely rare for him to allow himself to be stabbed three times without flinching. it never happened to me
i must have shot 15full shots at his sigil but he never dropped his weapon. instead of using the bridge though i go to the left of him near the cliffs and duck in a bush. this makes him turnaround and i get in 2 to 3 clean shots. as soon he turns just rinse and repeat. any ideas..?
In my experience Argus will only drop his sword when you shoot his arm sigil from atop any bridge. Shooting his sigil below the bridge, like in this video, will not make him drop his sword. I hope I answered your question.

The aiming atop the bridge was tricky but this video really helped, thank you.
You are so welcome.

@@PlayStationVision123 you'r not a noob, you'r a freaking legend!! I'm a really noob haha.
5:45 thanks to you😭❤
I killed him in hard mode on the ps2 without making him drop his sword, I think its because I took down a lot of his health with the harpoon
Yes. That is another gameplay option I was surprised to discover.

Purity sure I just did that faster on my 1st try. with only 2 vital spots and I was able to lower his health before I ever climbed him
Awesome! I hope I can see how you did that. 😀
Thats the normal way
No, he shoot to his weak point so he could save some time
