Dirge is the messenger, and his message is to warn you of Dormin's evil intentions. He tries to kill you so Dormin cannot be resurrected again. The song is a funeral song, made to overlay the message above. So Dirge really is the smartest colossus of them all!
Most thrilling battle for me here. It aggressively keeps up with you and unlike other collosi, you need to pull some eye trickery here to open him up for punishment. Let him tail you for too long and you get jumped like a great white after a sea lion. Better not miss, least of all, run into a wall.
The one thing about Dirge is how absolutely aggressive he is when you fight him. He's one of the fewcolossi that immediately come after you. Whereas typically you need to engage them to start. Dirge is out for blood the moment you engage.
The reason Dirge's eyes are so creepy is his eyes are the biggest out of all the colossus and he's the only colossus who in order to beat him u have to deal with the eyes.
+BlackShadowFan24 I agree as well, and must add: To me, the eyes, PLUS the fact he hides underneath the sand and basically stalks you or surprises you. DANG, you can see the whole screen shaking and that noise from him and when you look back he's basically few inches from you. Anything running in my direction is reason enough to have me frigthened. o_o
This is the boss were you need the horse if you don't use her um yeah you will die so get on horse let him follow you shoot his eye's he crashes in wall you climb him stab he goes in sand.............................................................crash in wall stab dead you win but you have 6 more to go
It's also the sharp contrast - the rest of the colossi are big and slow, or small and fast (with an exception or two, BUT) This guy is big AND fast, AND you can't really see it well. This and the unique, hectic music are probably meant to incite a panic mode in you. And even in replays of SotC, I still dread fighting this guy, despite knowing what to do. That feeling of panic is really uncomfortable.
This song fits Dirge SO WELL. It actually makes you feel like you're running for dear life from a sand serpent that's about to eat you. The beginning is especially fitting, since it's so rushed and ominous. I LOVE IT!
Summary of my first time fighting Dirge: *Walks to the start point and sees Dirge jump out of the ground* Okay...It's a giant worm/snake/alligator that sounds like a mule...Nothing wrong there... *Approaches Dirge and it begins pursuing me full speed* WOAH! This is getting intense! Still, I wonder how I beat him... *Finds out his eyes are retractable and I squick out* EEEEEECH GETAWAYFROMMEGETAWAYFROMMEGETAWAYFROMME
I believe this is only in the Dirge fight, because Dirge is the only one that will chase you down until you are dead. The message is obviously, "You're going to die, bitch"
Even to this day, I still wet my pants when this song starts to play on my iPod (mostly because I live in a desert area and I'm usually walking through the sand...) :/
Summary of me fighting dirge (ps2) Ooohh, this cave looks nice. (Walks up to cutscene trigger) OMG ITS A SAND WORM. (Dirge runs right at me) Go horse GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO (Looks back while riding Agro) Omg his eyes are scary. Maybe I shoot them? (Shoots in eyes) OMG I DID SOMETHING. (Dirge hits wall) Did I win? (Stabs) (1st spot vanishes and dirge flies back under the sand) Where's Agro? (Agro is at the other side, grazing) JEEZ AGRO HURRYUPANDHELPME
Thanks for uploading this. I've been looking for an extended version of the song for a while now... and you managed to snag a wonderful pic of Dirge :D
It took me 3 days to fight him, then i got bored and shot an arrow to his eyes... I just paused the game and screamed... I AM AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D It was worth fighting and listening to the epic song during the long lasting fight i had with him.
Was facing Dirge the other day with my little bro watching. He now wakes me up in the middle of the night due to nightmares of "bony worms." I don't blame him, Dirhe scares the sh*t out of me, too :/
I doubt the colossus was any innocent, due to it following him along with tirelessly making Agro run as fast as he could, as well as scaring him to death...
i think it's because of the twist at the ending that everyone feels sorry for them. especially considering he did this for a girl who likely didn;t even know him
It may seem easy to dive this guy headfirst into a wall then stab his spine mercilessly until death until you realize maybe he was just curious kind of like how a large dog seems absolutely terrifying to a small child only because of its size
Well, according to XnastrumX's comment, Dirge is a funeral song, so it wouldn't be surprising, and the "Messenger from behind" name of this theme may actually support your theory, not to mention Dirge is the most batshit of them all.
When I encountered Dirge my sister was watching and she got the scare of her life when she saw its eyes and started screaming "KILL THAT FUCKER, NII-CHAAAAAAAN!!!!"
yeah the most scariest fuckin' colossus or colossi ever in this game the 10th colossus dirge this thing is extremely powerful as hell he can take so much damage if u got hit by him and his eyes are fuckin' creepy and scary as hell lol
Since it's a creature that probably harmed no one since it was in a forbidden land, I'd say it's innocent. After all, Wander did come into its territory so to speak :p
The closest Pokemon equivalent I can think of to Malus is Magmortar. Same thing with Rayquaza as Phalanx, but Phalanx is far too mellow for that to stick.

5% of combat: a colossal snake that chase you to kill you
95% of the combat: AGRO! AGRO! AGRO!
*Walks in, sees Dirge glaring at him with those awful eyes*
Wander: Yeah, I really didn't love her all that much, bye bitch!
yep, I was pretty much screaming "Fuck this shiiiiit!!!" as me and agro ran (or tried) to book it.
Dirge: HELLO ARE YOU HAVING NIGHTMARES YET? I SURE HOPE SO!
All I remember from this fight was: AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!AGRO!
cloudgirl150 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
When things are getting serious, Wander screams something like: "Heeeegrow!"
Basaran too
I read this with each subsequent call getting more panicked :P
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

all the colossi have the same type of eyes, but only dirge eyes make you feel terror and despair
+Hernan Nicolas true story bro

+BlackShadowFan24 i agree with you, also, the eyes to me are the toughest part of any colossus to hit, thats why this fight took me an hour
+BlackShadowFan24 I agree as well, and must add: To me, the eyes, PLUS the fact he hides underneath the sand and basically stalks you or surprises you. DANG, you can see the whole screen shaking and that noise from him and when you look back he's basically few inches from you.

+Bloodied Justice HAH, this took me a miserable seconds of minutes when I was a kid. LOL
This is the boss were you need the horse if you don't use her um yeah you will die so get on horse let him follow you shoot his eye's he crashes in wall you climb him stab he goes in sand.............................................................crash in wall stab dead you win but you have 6 more to go

Well that's about a 50 feet of sanding-swimming NOPE.
+Jayson Hawk lol
When i Fought him, when i saw the eyes... my controller fell off my hand, and Agro went down 2, i died in like...3 secs
When i saw his eyes I just have a stare down.
technically this what happened when I first Dirge: Oh cool a sand dune HOLY SHIT he huge ... run horse dammit Jesus those eyes creep the hell outa me
It's gaze is upon thee.
WELL NO SHIT MATE!

EEEEEECH GETAWAYFROMMEGETAWAYFROMMEGETAWAYFROMME
A "message" from behind
That message being "NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM"
This is like anxiety the song. Still enjoy listening to it every now and then, but it just feels so tense and frantic.
I really need to play this game.
Yes you do.
you MUST play this game if you have a Playstation 2 or 3!! (or you can use an Emulator but its not recommended unless you have an EXCELLENT computer)
Dirge: Ay lil mama lemme whisper in yo ear
The eyes of this colossus always spooked me out, and this one is always agro to you.
I believe this is only in the Dirge fight, because Dirge is the only one that will chase you down until you are dead. The message is obviously, "You're going to die, bitch"
Oh, Dirge... Fighting him sure was an adrenaline rush.
Am I the only one who always feels sorry for killing colossi?
man... this soundtrack gives you chills while fighting dirge just thinking that the colossus will kill you... creepy
By far the scariest of the colossus for me :D dude realy come's after you!!
The Eyes Dude the damn Eyes!!!! Was the most Scary shit i ever seen
Even to this day, I still wet my pants when this song starts to play on my iPod (mostly because I live in a desert area and I'm usually walking through the sand...) :/
Summary of me fighting dirge (ps2)
Ooohh, this cave looks nice.
(Walks up to cutscene trigger)
OMG ITS A SAND WORM.
(Dirge runs right at me)
Go horse GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
(Looks back while riding Agro)
Omg his eyes are scary. Maybe I shoot them?
(Shoots in eyes)
OMG I DID SOMETHING.
(Dirge hits wall)
Did I win?
(Stabs)
(1st spot vanishes and dirge flies back under the sand)
Where's Agro?
(Agro is at the other side, grazing)
JEEZ AGRO HURRYUPANDHELPME
*AGRO GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE BEFORE I DIE*
Thanks for uploading this. I've been looking for an extended version of the song for a while now... and you managed to snag a wonderful pic of Dirge :D
He is definitely one of my favorite bosses in the game. He's also the scariest. The music just screams RUN HE'S GONNA EAT YOU!!!!!!!
No one has th audacity to dislike this UN fear of Dirge going after them.
Fantastic piece of classical music, you can tell it's meant to inspire fear... (All the shrill notes and drum beats in the background)
Dirge, Harena Tigris... that thing almost kill me with just one hit in the "h" mode...
It took me 3 days to fight him, then i got bored and shot an arrow to his eyes...
I just paused the game and screamed...
I AM AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D It was worth fighting and listening to the epic song during the long lasting fight i had with him.
i love this one and plus i cant keep him as a pet i love him
I guess Dirge knew "SPOILER" that Dorman was just using him, so he thought he'd give wander a better ending... but thats my opinion
Suddenly, a wild Dirge appeared.
,,SWIIGITY SWOOTY, COMING FOR THAT BOOTY!! ,,
You, heck of a still you got from the fight. Scary, man.
this scared the shit out of me and so did colesia when u fell to the ground and tried to run for your life
AAAAAAHHHHH! AAAAAAHHH HAA AAHHH HAAAHAAAAA!
Best colossus.
(that and kuromori)
I will happily admit that this was one of the scariest fucking bosses I have ever fought in a video game.
This music is the most intense in my opinion
Is it weird this is my favorite colossus?
Running from Dirge had me like: Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, OH FUCK!
He's dead friendly really, he just wants a hug.
Dirge has evolved into KROOKODILE. A really, really big one.
I remember this song when Im at the bathroom and there is no paper
"a messenger from behind" such i weird title it gave me chills, its creepy just like Dirge
He's trying to talk, but he can't stop fast enough. Accidents happen.
For me, Dirge's eyes screamed "hit me!"
Yay, Dirge!
Wait...
NO, IT'S THIS THING!!!!
Was facing Dirge the other day with my little bro watching. He now wakes me up in the middle of the night due to nightmares of "bony worms." I don't blame him, Dirhe scares the sh*t out of me, too :/
Imagine how 13 felt. Guy was just trying to get some fresh air.
Or perhaps it's "stop running so I can eat you!". Honestly, Dirge strikes me as a bloodthirsty predator.
this guy straight up terrifies me
"It's gaze is upon thee"
AW HELL NOOOOOOOUUUAAH
This colossus is as fucked up as the strategy to defeating him. Yet you feel sorry for every single one...
He is behind you right now
*Panic* Agro! Agro! *Whistles*, Fuck, you're alredy this far! C'mon back... damn! *Look behind and get hit* Aaah! Ouch, AGRO! *More panic*
All of the colossi are innocent if you play the game all the way through. They are actually the good guys
I doubt the colossus was any innocent, due to it following him along with tirelessly making Agro run as fast as he could, as well as scaring him to death...
I could be wrong, but I thnk each colossus becomes alive after the last is slain... so Dirge would have no way to tell Basaran.
That one dislike must be from Agro
i think it's because of the twist at the ending that everyone feels sorry for them. especially considering he did this for a girl who likely didn;t even know him
i think she knows him bc of how close there are and mono knows agro
Trust me when I say that all Dirge's message amounts to is "NOM!"
I guess you can say Dirge is really "AGRO" on Wanderer huh?Huh?HUH?
Mauricio Martinez 10/10 worst/best joke of the year!
Soul Pierceing Eyes to be exact
Darn! First the word, then the Transformer, Then this, AND NOW MY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG BAD GUY FAN CHARACTER! HOW MANY MORE DIRGES?! XD XD XD
It may seem easy to dive this guy headfirst into a wall then stab his spine mercilessly until death until you realize maybe he was just curious kind of like how a large dog seems absolutely terrifying to a small child only because of its size
He can't stop! D:
This music plays when I run out of toilet paper.
While i was fighting this colossus my friends dog got scared by it's roar.
the scariest thing is that the word dirge is ment to discribe a funeral song.
so basically its name means you're going to die!
Wander: So I stabbed the fucker, and took his essence!
I just suddenly realised the double meaning there...
The eyes...THE EYES!!!
Well, according to XnastrumX's comment, Dirge is a funeral song, so it wouldn't be surprising, and the "Messenger from behind" name of this theme may actually support your theory, not to mention Dirge is the most batshit of them all.
When I encountered Dirge my sister was watching and she got the scare of her life when she saw its eyes and started screaming "KILL THAT FUCKER, NII-CHAAAAAAAN!!!!"
I'M TRYIIIIIIING! desu
Man, I did the same thing, my mom came in and was all, "Why are you an idiot this time?"
3 Snakes , first one from water , second from ground in this case the sand and third one and the must hard the air
Do it whatever you do, but don't die whilst fighting Dirge
NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE SOOOO MUCH NOPE!
yeah the most scariest fuckin' colossus or colossi ever in this game the 10th colossus dirge this thing is extremely powerful as hell he can take so much damage if u got hit by him and his eyes are fuckin' creepy and scary as hell lol
He couldn't stop fast enough
I get scared to hell when Dirge jumped at me whit the mouth open
Maybe it wanted to tell Wander that he would be betrayed...
it wants to whisper to Wander, but its mouth is too big and we always mistaken it as eating Wander and Agro xD
Scariest colossus
1:05 thought my phone was vibrating.
Since it's a creature that probably harmed no one since it was in a forbidden land, I'd say it's innocent. After all, Wander did come into its territory so to speak :p
I think no, since there are people who like adrenalin, and this colossus gives the player a lot of.
Gah This is so EXCITING! It's so suspensul and whenever I hear it I'm all like 8O "DIRGE!"
lol Im a nerd :3
AGRO
I use to be a colossus, but then i took an arrow to the eye.
There's even someone named Dirge in Skyrim... =)
I actually think that the battle against Dirge is an omen of the tragedies to come. What do you guys think?
dirge: hey, i'm gonna eat you
The closest Pokemon equivalent I can think of to Malus is Magmortar.
Same thing with Rayquaza as Phalanx, but Phalanx is far too mellow for that to stick.
