Shadow of the Colossus - Gaius vertical attack at central disc (test)

I was testing an idea by a Discord user named 'JudgeMagistR' who wondered what would happen if the Knight used its vertical attack on the central disc. I was intruiged by the idea so I tested it by changing the Knight's animations in game, and as you can see some sparks still appear when the club hits the disc.
Note: This has never been done before in any of my videos (or ever) - so this is new.
I then moved Gaius up and let it fall to see if the 'sparks' would still appear, they didn't:
• Shadow of the Colossus...

Having worked on the railway, used a sledge hammer and pickaxe, accidentally striking the rail head instead of the clips or ballast, I know Gaius' pain.

I used to have to split wood pretty damn often and accidentally missing and just whacking the log with the handle hurt so goddamn bad lmao hand shock is wild

[@03MendicantBias]

That was very climactic

[@alexv4330]

I always wondered what would happen, even I tried to do it for minutes and minutes without even knowing it was not possible :P

[@underdog6364]

Thank you, I have always wondered

[@richardstarkmann7962]

I guess they did not include this way of breaking his armour because its a way more epic way to Show his size compared to wander

[@noodlesatemybaby]

Well that was very anti climatic

[@NomadColossus]

Sorry! Was just testing something - still the Knight has never done this before (since 2005)

I don’t know what’s stronger, the disc or the sword…

[@fabiolaibachian1879]

Hi, I wonder why this movement doesn't happen in the game and how cool it would be and how difficult it would be to be able to climb the weapon in this position until it reaches the forearm, have a great week and success.

[@NomadColossus]

It happens when you are are the outer edge of the arena. The colossus uses this vertical attack there. Once you move towards the centre it uses the normal 'swinging club attack'. However, some players can even grab onto it in this mode!

Not sure if I ever died to his vertical attack
