It’s supposed to be like that the developers said agro and just in general it’s meant to be hard all the way through from the movement mechanics to finding the bosses weak spots.
At times the controls are downright awful , shame because it's such an amazing game in almost every other aspect but it just doesn't feel as amazing to play as the way it presents itself
Same I kept knocking it down and when I climbed up, the camera kept flipping out when I tried to jump on his back and that gave him enough time to flip over again. Took me almost 30 minutes to beat this thing
@@tringle8872 well besides the fact that you have to get the angle right with his shell and he throws you off more then the others,yes all the others do the same but the way you had to get up with the timing was rather difficult
@@pigeontheseconth You think? I mean yeah the pony was boring AF and slow and not intuitiv. But this was almost made me rage-quit because: - slow and does not move how it should - the timing of the gaysirs is a pain to coordinate - the fireballs almost always hit, no matter how quick I move Pain in the ass if you want to fight it again for better time.
@@arminxvs3372 if you struggle with the fireballs you can always just stay on your horse and never stop moving. Very janky to control but that's still better than to eat artillery shells.
@@ima_loaf9076 Weird thing was - I dunno if that was a bug - the fireballs of the turtle still hit me quite often despite being on Agro. Man I hate this titan haha
These fireballs are pissing me off! How are you supposed to dodge them, they still get you no matter what! I tried it with Agro, but his controls are the worst. You need to press 300 times to get him running and it's so annoying. It works, but it's so frustrating!😡😡
i've got one tip for you: if you want to start sprinting as soon as you get on agro, just pull back on your left joystick and push the triangle button at the same time. you have to time it correctly, tho! (this also works for getting agro to stop instantly) edited 'cause of a typo :)
I think even knowing what exactly to do it is VERY HARD. In the ps2 version i climbed his leg but didnt realize you could run and jump and grab onto his belly which didnt look furry/fuzzy like the other bosses. In this video on i guess the remake, the belly has a very distinctly different surface, so if retro gamers are playing on ps2 be mindful of that!
Worst boss in the game. Easily. Not only you have to wait FOREVER the fireballs have massive hitboxes and this thing sometimes just decides to not walk at all
Don't ask me how I did it, I got on it's tail and jumped on his lower back from there. I didn't even do the geiser thing. I saw his paw glowing and got him on the geiser but he didn't seem to react. I figured I cheesed it.
the fireballs shouldve just been eliminated from the Colossi since you cant even see where its shooting from while on the horse..I mean its not impossible to see but its damn difficult to check the fire balls and see which geiser to aim for only to have the water stop when the colossi is over it...they did a terrible job on this one.
Hold L1 to lock onto the enemy but then you won't be able to see where you're running, agreed overall bad designed boss that sadly made it into the game
Jump and roll? But no matter what it takes 1/4 of your life almost every time the fireball hits the ground regardless of if youre in the air or out of the way? And it shoots at you like 10 times before you can get it over to the guiser
I'm having the exact same problem right now. All the previous Bosses weren't too hard or annoying but this one is specifically desiged to be a massive pain in the arse! I'm so close to Quitting the game over it even though I don't want to as I've gotten this far it would be a shame to quit now... Fuck...
Use Agro and shoot the arrows until the colossus is under a gazer (idk) then get under the colossus and dodge the earth shakes and wait until it happens 👍 thanks for the tip👍
I've never had an easy boss make me annoyed but damn, his projectiles were undodgeable for me and he refused to go where I wanted but literally as soon as I went onto his back the fight was over.
playing in 2024, and i dont now if i hate it or love it, i understand fast what i got to do, but put the giant thing above the water was a fucking pain...
People really like to shit on this game, yet they still play it and watch RUclips videos on it! The controls are what they are; get better. This game is awesome - thank you for the help 👍🏻👍🏻
This is the worst colossus in my opinion, the other ones can be bested with skill while for this one you must wait until it perfectly lines up with a geyser while being shot at hoping not to die in the process
probably the worst and most frustrating colossus in the game. It's so poorly designed. Took me 27 minutes to beat it because it just wouldn't stand on the geyser properly, or the geyser would shut off just as it's about to tilt.

I swear the movement in this fuckin game is absolutely fuckin broken. I CANT DODGE THOSE FUCKIN FIREBALLS AND EAT A SHIT-TONN OF DAMAGE NO MATTER WHAT I DO...RUN,...JUMP,...ROLL..IT AINT FUCKIN WORKING!!! This is the most SLOW, EMPTY, BORING AND DISGUSTINGLY BROKEN PS4 EXCLUSIVE OUT THERE....😤😡🤬
This game is so annoying. Broken ass controls, broken ass A.I. This colossus just stood there like an idiot not moving for me. And of course when he falls over he falls in such a way in which you always have to go around him. If you don’t get it right, guess what? You have to do the whole f-ing thing over again. Smh.
This fight depends completely on how much mental pain you can handle on the day that you fight him.
I can vouch I’m on him right now on hard with tons of health but those fireballs mess you up still.
Well obviously I can’t endure much since I literally almost broke my controller because of this thing.
I rage quit this one after falling for the 4th time
@@neevasharampersand4165 takes patient... LOTS of it lol

I had promised myself “I’m not going to look up any guides for this game, it’s only fun the first time” but realized to just give it up
lol I deadass said the same thing I got most of them without needing help just muscle memory lol
This colossus is a perfect example of how clunky the movement in this game is. Holy tedium.
This game will give me diabetes
It’s supposed to be like that the developers said agro and just in general it’s meant to be hard all the way through from the movement mechanics to finding the bosses weak spots.
@@RTGZS it's still overly clunky. I love the game but I think them saying that might just be an escuse.
It's still a good game

Oh, just dodge the fireballs. Easier said than done on hard when they have crazy splash radius and deal stupid damage. Still though, good guide!
michaelpalacio5 Yeah I had to run away on Agro and just time jumps once ur on foot.
Is it not possible to dodge the fire by going under the colossus?
I have since beaten this colossus on another play through with no difficulty. Skill issue on my end I guess
I will time the dodges perfectly and still get annihilated by the fucking fireballs.. setting it to hard was a mistake
Dude that colossus was a pain in the ass
Yep
Yeah bruv
First time playing this game and honestly most of them are.
@@jdrakefrederick but this is the reason why I stopped playing shadow of the colossus
@ same. I stopped playing around the tenth collosus or so. I just didn't enjoy playing the game.
love how you say jump and roll out of the way then instantly cut lmao
Hardest part for me
Is definitely actually getting onto his back
Same I kept knocking it down and when I climbed up, the camera kept flipping out when I tried to jump on his back and that gave him enough time to flip over again. Took me almost 30 minutes to beat this thing
Ummm that's the difficult part in all bosses?

@@AbsoluteSkycaptain haha well now you know! took me a while, too!
Fuck that colossus
The climbing really pissed me off 😤
Easy way to avoid fireballs, jump out of the way rather then roll
I hate having to look at guides but I really appreciate these uploads because of these colossus are Downright Irritating.

Fam, you make it look easier than it is
this is the mission that I couldn't pass when I was little lol
it was too hard
Why are half of these comments so recent?
The game is for free on ps plus right now. That's why
Nathan King chill
Because everyone is still struggling with this colossus
I clambered onto that fucking thing like 10 times to be thrown off and not to be able to cling to an edge. So far the most frustrating.
Worst boss in the game. Easily. Not only you have to wait FOREVER the fireballs have massive hitboxes and this thing sometimes just decides to not walk at all
1:37 THANK YOU... i DIDNT know i have to go there, i thought the legs are the weak spots

Thank you! I was stabbing him in different areas of his belly wondering where the hell his weakspot was lol
If you use your sword to shine the light, it will point towards his head
Of all the colossi, SCREW THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. Even Gaius wasn't as hard for me
Agro doesn't want to move when I call him istg
Thanks for the guide. I couldn't remember how to do this one and it was really getting to me.
Thank you I was struggling to fight the 9th boss

Thanks man having trouble on this one
i shot his weak spots and he fell down and everything but when i reached his head there was no weakpoint... i quit for the day after that
Wtf this is happening to me I thought I was the only one how did you fix it
Nvm I'm dumb I just had to pull my sword out
You switched weapons, right?
@@notproductiveproductions3504 dont remember lmao i beat him then tho
@@celineholzl good luck on the next ones. There's some worse than this one imo

did you switch back to your sword?

He just stay in the same place firing his goddam fire balls
Tysm, I'm doing in my ps2 the normal time attack and I just searched your guide for remember where I climb, tysm
Gg, 1 more kill
Guys, if you think this boss is hard, try to kill it in less than 7:30 min with limited health and stamina
Thx for the advice grear video
This worked. Thank you..really.
Just started playing this game and omfg some of these colossi are so dumb and tedious it's so frustrating
This is the worst colossus in my opinion, the other ones can be bested with skill while for this one you must wait until it perfectly lines up with a geyser while being shot at hoping not to die in the process
Thank you, very much!
Youre the best man
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Bruh I can’t dodge the fire balls they always hit me and I die
Second try and nailed him. Jeez he was the worst so far. Just trying to get up on him was pain.
It doesn't shoe its weak spot on bottom of its feet if I miss it the first time
probably the worst and most frustrating colossus in the game. It's so poorly designed. Took me 27 minutes to beat it because it just wouldn't stand on the geyser properly, or the geyser would shut off just as it's about to tilt.
No where is safe I just catapults me of when he gets back up
Thanks bro
only one so far i had a tough enough time to look it up

thanks!
This is so extream hard man
THANK YOUUUUU
Are you on easy?
And yet people like this game!
Worst fight up to now, just stupid. The fact that this one only has one major weak spot shows the devs knew it sucked
Another black magic user I suppose
this is one of the best and of the saddest games i ever played in my whole fucking life
Wow, this boss can kiss my ass. Thanks for the guide. I would have never figured this out.
So I was doing the right thing! I shot the weak points and nothing happened!
This one is straight BS I did that first try and he just casually walks over it and smacks down directly above it
This is the one bad colossus. Like actually poorly designed.
The rest can occasionally be frustrating.
But this one is just garbage
Wort bossfight in ANY GAME EVER
