This is the only colossus where Wander’s shoes are laced with fresh canola oil....no grip....whatsoever
Bryan Thompson definitely.
He is one stupid fucker and a drunkard
Yea I noticed that too, he trips up everywhere and grip is shit
I did this in 4:59:20 id say i would have been freaking in excitement if this was the ps3 version lol
Oh man the polygons on his god damn head
Seriously, I'm about to smash the controller against a wall
@@RagingUtai some say he never did
@@RagingUtai yes yes it is
@@RagingUtai oh and congratulations on your 3 minute 15 second run on phalanx it does seem like a pretty good record
This. This, right here
I know I did.
The rage I experienced today when I got 6:30:02 on Gaius, when the goal is 6:30:00 :(
Chris Caldwell lol best I've done is 7 minutes and I wanted to cry when I realized I wouldn't get it since I felt like the run was going so well for once
I got 6:35 on my first go and only took that long because i didnt know where the last sigil was. Never done that well since.
It's 5:00:00 in the ps2 version,so brace yourself
I think the person who put that timing should check himself into an asylum, because no sane man would think 6:30 is fair enough timing for this even for hard mode.
8:30 sounds better.
@@Smiley0.1I agree frustrating af
Hey everybody.
I don’t know why this works so well but I have found that right as you press the Square button to lift/prepare your sword it helps A LOT to tilt the left stick in the direction of your sword(almost like holding the stick to add force to the stabbing). I have found that you maintain solid footing far better when he’s shaking if you hold the left stick same direction as your sword as you’re waiting to charge for the attack. Now, make sure you let go of the stick AFTER you stab, otherwise you will lose stamina faster because you’ll then be trying to move around. After i discovered this i did it on the first try. Hope this helps.
Edit 05-27-2020: I'm really glad to have helped everyone. I've read a lot of comments and i have no idea why or how it helps but it does for some weird reason lol.
GenocideVirus I'm trying this
I don't know how this works but it does and I thank you for teaching it
Holy shit it works!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Best was 7:40. I just tried with this method and nearly beat him with 30 seconds to spare... tho I fell off with only one half stab left to go... At least it feels possible now. I beat every one on hard within 1 to 4 tries. Plenty of them with 2-3 minutes to spare. I've tried this one far more than all the rest combined in every difficulty...
I spent hours and hours on this battle. I was beginning to be so frustrated, I felt like pulling my hair out. Then out of nowhere I beat it in 5:04. It's all about trying over and over again until the damn colossus complies. The element of randomness is just so overwhelming in this battle.
I wont lie. I shattered my coffee table and opened a two inch bleeding gash on my forehead with one of the legs trying to do this. You aren't alone.
The same happened to me
it's honestly just bad design at this point
Yeah, it's called bad game design.
@Tony Galati It's called until you get better at the game and know how to control things. If not, it's a bad game player.
NO matter what I do he doesn't stop shaking on his head.
I'm glad they made it easier - a reward for all of us that went through hell on the PS3 for it
*TRUE*
It's a little less difficult, his extra vital it's still tricky as hell to get on, but I'll give it to you, that extra minute is appreciated.
How hard was the original platinum trophy?
Yep, it was a nightmare that still haunts me
@Free Freak I am playing my playthrough on hard time attack on ps3 and I absolutely hate this collosus
I tried like 10 times for this guy. He shakes a lot at his head, getting to his left arm is tricky and the grip meter drains so quickly!
Purushangam Gaming sometimes it hardly drains others it’s going down fast. Doesn’t seem to have a physics behind it
he constantly shakes his head! I spent 5 minutes just to try to get the head sigil to disappear... this game is way too inconsistent for shenanigans like this
@@bumpsy everything is inconsistent as a whole in time attack mode. They need to make a patch to increase the timing and wander's grip because this is just incredibly unreasonable. Everytime you need a colossus to do something so you can get on, it just spins in fucking place and does BULLSHIT which doesn't help you at all.
My tries never go this well. It seems like they shake twice as often for me all the time.
Schawn Schoch mine too. Like wtf... I also followed a PS3 guide because they had only 5 min and I would have 1 min to spare.. but man he just kept moving and shaking like his ass was on fire ....
Feels the same way to me, I see this video and it's like WTH he barely shakes his head! In mine he won't stop for a second, even if I go to his back so he starts walking and stops shakin his head for a second, but by the time I reach it again, he already starts shaking!
I can make it to the head faster than this and can't even come close. 7:30 is my best. It takes twice as long to finish the head sigil.
Anthony Benfante exactly the same for me. it’s infuriating
I was eventually able to do it. On one try he just happened to shake less and I was able to get his head faster. I also saved the arm for last since I never had enough stamina to finish that sigil and climb back up.
Far and away the most frustrating time attack. Utter horseshit
The reason that Gaius is such a challenge in Time Attack is one of the game's most glaring flaws: _too much_ of the battle's pace depends on the behavior of the AI. It _is_ challenging and fun to climb your way up this big bastard (sometimes); it is *not* fun or challenging when the Colossus is moving around so much that you literally cannot hang on long enough, simply by the fact that the game's engine is not giving you a fair opportunity to attack.
I completely understand the challenging elements of the game and how they are meant to push the player's capability. I do not share this sentiment when I have successfully climbed the Colossus, positioned myself safely and correctly over the sigil, and the only thing preventing me from progressing is my attack button's non-functionality, dependent entirely on whether or not the Colossus wants to move around longer than I can hold my grip.
This was one of the best fights of the game but now its one of the worst because of the low staminameter you get in time attack. It's my only one left, the other ones were quite easy, max 2 tries. This tho, im on my 20th try now omfg ^-^-
SGustafsson day exactly as in the guide and you’ll get it
Grunge gopher 67 I finally got it! My pulse was so high when I achieved it!
It's the same with Dirge, the 10th Colossus. He used to be super easy, but now Basaran, the 9th which I could never do on my own, is so much easier to defeat. However, I like how they extended the times to make up for that
@@themoongateofficial doesn't work for shit. The colossus is constantly shaking (unlike the one in the video) and Wander is constantly falling of for no reason (unlike the one in the video). The guide is pretty aweful
@@bumpsy it’s a lot easier than on the ps3 remaster , which has a way shakier wander, just keep trying and you’ll eventually get it
The amount of stamina we get for this is rediculous. i've killed the head part in under 3.30, then the arm is impossible to do in one shot. i'm done
Exactly how I feel
@@fullmetaldillon it is a bug. You can get all hard time attack items on normal. Just start new game + on normal and finish all time atacks without picking any items from the pool. Then start new game + on hard. All hard time attack items will be in the pool
@@user-lc2dn6id4c really?!
@@lucasorice1589 yeap. I did it that way
I have beaten the game 3 times, completed all 16 normal time attacks, many of the hard time attacks, gotten almost every trophy including the resist the wrist one related to gaius, but gaius hard time attack is the first time I've been stuck on the game so far. I tried this for 2 hours yesterday and 1 hour so far today. I keep trying to copy this video exactly, but I keep running into the same problems. The first problem is that gaius will end up shaking for so long that I run out of stamina. Sometimes I will go for his vital with full stamina and not even be able to get one hit before having to try to retreat and rest. Which leads to my second problem. When I'm climbing on his far and he starts shaking, wander will flip over so that when gaius finally stops shaking I am facing in a direction that I cannot climb in, and I cannot turn around, so I'm just stuck. When I push in the direction I want to climb, wander will not turn around if he is facing the opposite direction, and he won't crawl backwards. He just grunts and jerks until my stamina is gone. I'm curious how many tries this took you, because there are 4 parts in this video where you run into problems that required you to jump or let go and you just kind of lucked out at the results. I get lucky once in a while, but so far I haven't gotten lucky enough in one attempt to avoid falling off. Despite dozens of attempts, I haven't even taken out his left arm yet because I can't climb back up it when my stamina gets low. The furry area on his arm is narrow, so when gaius shakes it's very easy to get stuck facing the wrong direction and as I said before, I can't turn around. There has to be something I'm missing here. I've tried letting go and grabbing again right away, I've tried taking my thumb off of the stick to attempt to re-center it, I've tried manipulating the camera to alter the direction reference, but none have worked. If there's a special trick to get out of the problem I keep having, please share it!
J Steiner4791 try doing his head first then chest and finally his arm. I did it with 1 min 20 left on the clock that way. Its a bitch
I think that the order should be this: head, arm, and belly. You can't get up from the belly easily, but it's an easy jump from the arm to the belly. Gaius has a wide ledge at his waist where you can rest up, as well.
I have done the hard time attacks twice now and this is how I rate them for difficulty. Some I found easier second time, some harder. In order of difficulty;
3. An absolute pain and you need a lot of luck with this one. Horrible and the hardest for me by a mile.
15. First time around it took me dozens of tries but I did it reasonably quickly second time. Can be a major pain.
12. Can be VERY frustrating and shakes a lot. This was difficult both times and took me a good few attempts.
16. A long slog to get to the top of this colossus and a nuisance if you fall off.
4. For some reason it took me ages first time. It just wouldn't look for me in the tunnels. Did it quickly second time around.
6. Shook me all over the place first time around. Again, did it quicker second time.
7. Just kept running out of time first time but did it straight away second time around.
9. Can be a time consumer trying to get this colossus to stand over the gushing geyser.
8. Kept getting blasted by this first time but again much easier second time.
13. Quite a long battle and hard at times to shoot the bags underneath. I do like this colossus though.
10. I found this very hit and miss and I did need a few attempts. Always seem to aim for it's left eye.
14. A long slog to finally battle this colossus but not too bad when it's armour is destroyed.
5. Just try and keep cool with this one as it is easy to fall off into the water. Take your time is the best advice I can give here.
11. You can get battered by this and the hard part is picking up the stick. I did it quickly both times.
2. Not too difficult really but much more of a challenge on hard.
1. Again much harder on hard but not too bad.
My strategie: Once the colossi hits the metallic platform, he should attack once again right aftet the cutscene. You have like three seconds to jump. Once you are up there, follow this route: navel first, then arm and finally head. Navel, easy. The arm you should try to jump to the platform around the hips and back (if you fall you most likely will star over again, so take the risk). When hitting the head, I tried to attack the back of the head, and releasing after the attack, so the colossi wouldn't shake his head. If you are hanging in front of his face, try to jump back to the back of his neck/head. And remember, don't give up!!
For 3 hours i was trying to deal with this bull**it and finally did it...and i tell you how i did it. First of all, deal with his arm bracelet(it will take around 1:00-1:15) then go up on him, but don't go for head, deal with his stomach first, then jump from stomach platform on arm and back in his top to deal with head, and only after head deal with arm spot. I did the last spot on arm with almost zero stamina.. in the last second or two.
I decided I don't want the Platinum anymore.
I still think the easiest way is without breaking his arm-thing. For two reason: 1) faster 2) seems like he shake his head wayyyy less than normal, I was able to beat him in under 5 min. So as soon as the fight starts, walk straight for like 2 meters, start shooting arrows on his chest, he will make two steps and slam the sword. Run on the sword, wait for him to raise you. At this point, JUMP on his right leg, and get on too of the little thing he has there. He will low his arm, and you will jump on it getting on his head in under 45 seconds! From here its all the same, head->torso-> arm. Trust me he is wayyy more relaxed if you dont break his thing
Yeah. I got the trophy for that one, but the problem is you have to jump over the armour on his head which can mess you up and you have to do it all again - yet it helps with resting as you don't need to worry about him shaking if you stand against the rock
For those struggling, I absolutely love PS4 trophies, and I am so so grateful for your videos. USE THESE GUIDES. If you're going to do this method, this video is 100% the best one out there. HOWEVER, in my humble opinion, this is the only one where I think there is a better alt method. Personally, I wouldn't break his wrist guard. After struggling to get his head done in the time, I did this and he shakes FAR less. It's very noticeable It worked 4 times in a row, didn't die once. Method is below.
- From launch, don't move and shoot arrows at him. Get him to come very close to you.
- When he's by you, run away from him and go a bit to the left or right of the metal circle. He'll still do the long range attack where you can climb up the sowrd, but it won't break his guard.
- Don't bother doing the sword jump. Instead, make sure you are grabbing the left or right side edge. When he brings the sword up, climn up.
- Quickly jump to the closest leg. Then wait patiently, and get a full jump prepped. Eventually he'll bring his arm closer in. Simply jump over, and you're good to go.
- The Head > Bicep > Waist order is still the best way. I just noticed the shaking was about 50% better, if not even more. Like I said, I did it countless time in a row to test it.
Hope it helps someone and again, use his guides as they are phenomenal :)
James Kearle thanks, will try :D
nice it worked for me! still took 20 tries though!
James Kearle I’ll try it
Shakes more for me.... tried 30 times, giving up for today
Have just managed this after 3.5 hours of trying! Couple of extra tips, don't climb fully on top of Gaius' head, be sitting on the back od his head with the sword near his crown, that way when he's doing a shake, you MIGHT not get thrown off balance so quick and you might be able to get in a 2nd stab quickly (emphasis on the MIGHT here)
Tip for the left arm vital - after the head vital is done, go and crouch on his right shoulder, this can cause him to lean forward and lift his left arm backwards, it basically creates a walkway from where you are to the vital! So you don't have to worry wasting stamina climbing to it, or attempt a tactical fall-and-grab (the latter made me fall off of Gaius entirely too often)
Hope this is helpful and GOOD LUCK
The sword jump is the hardest way to complete the trophy for not breaking the armor.
Instead just run up the sword like you usually would, and then jump over to his thigh/leg and he will lower his arm enough for you to jump back to the arm and land ON TOP of the armor that was blocking the way up the arm.
Just finished in 5:55 after about an hour. Easily the most frustrating colossus in the game for me. This timed battle and killing him without breaking the wrist guard absolutely crushed me
Holy shit, after what feels like at least 50 attempts I finally killed this guy, hard time attack mode seemed impossible for this one specifically, how the hell did anyone do this on previous consoles with less time, I did it in 6:29:52, half a second later and it wouldn’t count, and this was with a mistake on my part though, I jumped down to his left arm but fell off and managed to grab on to his waist. My god does it feel satisfying...
I finally managed to do this, but it took me a week and a half. When I climbed to his shoulders he would try to shake me off. At the end of his shake his left arm was almost level with his back and found that I can get to the weak point very easily, so I did that first. With my sword out, I could jump to the sigil, and staying to the left I wouldn’t slip off as much. When doing his head, don’t touch his horns, that makes him shake more. Stay toward the back of his head, near the middle of the sigil. I did the stomach last.
This battle is impossible... -_-
Its absolutely ridiculous. If you get ten things right it screws you on something else. Theres no need for the THIRD collosus to be the hardest. Ive spent hours on this
DannyJ hardest? HARDEST?! He's easy :D
KiwwwiMaster hes a pain in the ass. Done all them now though. Just farming for max stamina trophy then the secret garden and done
I am also struggling... I've come SO close multiple times now
Kat Smith i have platinumed it now. Its very frustrating. I did it in 5 mins 20 when i did it. Had literally no stamina left as he went down.
a hint: begin with stomach,kill stomach, jump to the arm that have the weak point, give 2 good stabs, without defeating this weak point climb to the head, kill the head, get back to the arm and finish this shit. 6 minutes with this tactic
Rather than standing on the top of his head, it’s better to hang on near the back of it, just where you can still reach the sigil. This lets you have more stab opportunities, since even when he’s shaking his head around you still have a firm footing most of the time. Also makes it easier to let go and recharge your grip since you’ll just fall on his back. It’s a bit difficult to position yourself correctly, though.
my stabs seem to do half the damage yours do. I can get to all the places quickly and even get well-charged stabs in but it just doesn't do enough damage particularly his head sigil the other two are easier but his head takes foreeever. Trying the sword jump later hope that helps
I got to his stomach, needed 1 or 2 stabs to finish him, and had 15 seconds left... But for some reason, Wander wouldnt grip onto his stomach sigil properly, and for the last 15 seconds i was frantically trying to jump onto his stomach to get my last stabs in. But HE WOULDNT FUCKING GRAB ON. So i fucking lost. Since that time, i havent been able to match the pace i was doing it. I fucking hate this Colossus. His head shakes way too fucking much, even when you're not stabbing him. It feels almost impossible to stabilize on his head without getting flipped around every time he takes a step. Fuck this encounter dude. So cancer
Did the sword jump straight onto his stomach. Got it in 4:10. Pure luck.
Learning about perfect grip and wander's footing will help a lot. PS3 veterans knows about those two things.
My fully charge attacks deal 1/2 or less the damage you do... did they change this? I’ve tried on multiple bosses hard time attack, same thing! Your dmg is so much more....
I'm having the same problem. I absolutely don't get why he can take out the arm sygil in three stabs, and it takes me 5-6, even when I'm dead-centered with full stabs. I'm seriously about to just say fuck it, not worth the stress.
Same shit,in video his damage is bigger
I feel like they're using the better sword or smth...
@@bumpsy You can't use other swords in Time Attack
So it's easier than on the PS3? Then I might get this game after all. Beating this on the PS3 was the most frustrating thing I've ever did on the PS3 so I never wanted to go through such torment again.
San Juan Horst has to be dificult dude
David Rodrigues But not unreasonably so.
I give up on this guy. This is the first time I have ever gotten pissed at one of my favorite games.
Wow, actually a guide that is a guide and not a "yay I did it!". I'll give it a go one I recover some mental stamina lol. Thanks!
To anyone looking for help I recommend using a skip similar to one you would use for the resist the wrist trophy. It shaved off a whole minute and was the reason I was finally able to beat this fight. Still took me an hour though
My strats (luck involved) 5:09:(can’t remember rest)
Stand where I spawn and arrow his head until he is close enough that I have to aim in between very upward and somewhat forward (hard to describe) run past legs and hop whenever he makes a step so I don’t get knocked back THAT much
(Skipping to the good stuff)
Climb arm, go to gut
Rest if needed, attack only when wander’s feet are firmly on and the colossus is done shaking (a failed charge will cause a longer ragdoll in my experiences)
Next head to head, trick him into shaking arm before reaching head, take advantage of arm shake
Hop to arm as he does head shake once his head is depleted (attack back of his neck while standing/swing not stab his neck’s back to cause head shake if he doesn’t do it as you leave)
Drop to the decent platform you can stand on that’s near his shoulder and also near his arm’s vital spot
Take advantage of his walking moments as they are good grace periods to do decent stab damage (don’t always go for max stabs)
I found it easier to do Stomach sigil Head sigil then arm sigil as that one was the hardest to regain grip on hope that helps anyone who's struggling
THIS is much easier thank you for this, tried it that the way the first time and got it! Thank you
I just got done with all the other time attacks, almost all of them were relatively easy once you know the strategy, 15 shook me off a few times which was frustrating and I hate the back jumping on 16th hand(s) but all doable
just not this one, I've tried so many times with different strategies and like it would be doable even with the shaking if I could do more damage but the damage is SO minimal that I have to load up my stamina 3 times before the sigil is destroyed and I don't have enough time for the other two, it's incredibly frustrating
What worked for me after so many failed attempts was: take out stomach weak point first, go for the arm weak point (by jumping from the platform around its waist) but don’t completely finish it - leave enough stamina to reach its shoulders. Take out the head weak spot, then return to finish off the arm.
If this was your first try then you got supremely lucky! I see you getting full damage on attacks just outside of the targets. That never happens for me. I either get partial damage or none at all. I've yet to find a sweet spot to stab from on his head and arm. Its shaking is incessant! 3 days since my last comment and I've yet to come within 30 seconds of the target time. At least I'm down to #3 and #8 now.
*if anybody is still looking for these. i'm a late adopter lol* took me a few tries. but i did the sword to leg to sword to stomach. if you hang at the bottom of the stomach, he won't be able to shake you lose. then jump back to the sword arm. climb to the head. knock out the head. then drop to the arm. for some reason, it seems to be harder to shake you off on that arm. 4 tries got me to 4:40:35
Ideas
Hit his neck while standing on his back to make staying on him during stamina regain a bit easier, he won’t be as rough with his GET OFF ME movements from walking and will have a minor grace period soon after the head shake ends, giving regain a bit more time
Also, don’t try to stab unless you know Wander can’t be shaken in quick succession after a shake finishes, let him play out his animation until his feet have properly landed on whatever you climb, then go for whatever strike you can if the enemy intends to to multi succession shakes
I think there's a much easier way to do this and saves you a lot of time. I did it in under 4 minutes on my second try.
First off, i don't break Gaius' bracelet but I don't use the sword jump either. I climb on the sword, jump to his knee/upper leg and then back to his arm (but above the bracelet obviously). I start with his head, which can be done in one grab. If you position yourself a bit before the cygil he won't shake you off as much and hence you'll be able to be done with the head haifly quickly. Next I drop myself to the platform on his belly (in the back) and then get done with the cygil on his stomach. Once done, I go back to the back of the platform and jump to the cygil on his arms. Just make sure to plan your jump as the colossus will often move his arm. Take 10 seconds to observe his movement pattern and jump right into the mark. You'll be easily able to deplete he remaining health in one grip. Hope it helps.
Gaisus: shakes his head. Me:falls off. Also me: 👁👄👁
you are a real life saver i did it in the first go
This guy and other colossi tbh for me aren’t to bad in theory. I know what to do for all of them and if you needed me to go from sigil to sigil as effective as possible I can do that in no time at all! BUT WANDER. I know how to manipulate their animations so I have more time on the sigils. I know the perfect routes. But it doesn’t matter when Wander gets to the sigil and is like “I’m just going to never stabilize ever.”or he grabs onto everything but the sigil (like the stone around the head- he will snap to it sometimes even tho I’m nowhere near it). He cooperates with climbing but actually stabbing the thing he can’t do for the life of him. And yes they do shake a lot but like I mentioned I figured out how to calm them down a tad. (This applies for most climbing colossi: stand on a different part -say the shoulders- until they start their shaking animation. That animation is for the shoulders so the head doesn’t move as much typically. They also won’t start their never-ending head shaking until the last animation finishes. So quickly get to the head get some damage in and once they calm down a tad retreat back to shoulders and repeat. Saves stamina and sanity) but that not the problem for me anymore with my new strategy. I watched these videos because I thought I was doing something wrong but they pretty much do what I was trying and I just have horrible Wander stabilizing luck apparently.😤
Love this game and enjoy going through casual. I never had these problems casually tbh. But golly these time trials are a pain. Time to get back to the grind-
If anyone is doing it this late just a tip, I found it way easier to do the head first, and the the shoulder trick so he doesn’t shake his head and then go for stomach then the arm
Just like in the video. Nice
Honestly, it's his walking animation that makes this fight frustrating. Even though he barely seems to shake when he walks, each step he takes will interrupt what you're doing. *Do not use charge stabs as he's walking unless you aren't getting stunned by his steps - somehow*. It's when he stops to shake you off that you get your moment to attack. When you're on his stomach, he'll try to shake you off but you'll be A-OKAY to attack, even though he's shaking like mad. But when you're on his stomach and he walks? Barely shaking at all BUT YOU CAN'T ATTACK.
I had really good luck with his head and his arm, fell off trying to jump from the arm to his stomach, and had barely enough time to run up and finish him off. It took maybe 30-45 min but I got him.
This was hell on the PS3 version but somehow I got it and got my platinum. On the one hand, I’m glad they added another minute and a half for this one. But on the other, I envy that people now have this easier than the PS3 version.
Daniel Mann I damn near ripped my hair off with this one on PS3 but I too got it and platinumed, I feel your envy.
Damn straight. #3 and #15 on hard time trials were the absolute worst on the PS3 version. But as frustrating as it was, I'm still glad I pulled through and got it none the less. One of my most rewarding Platinum trophies.
The others were nowhere near as frustrating, but yeah, #3 and #15 made me want to rage quit at times.
Daniel Mann Don't get me started on Cenobia and Celosia, the little colossus, absolute nightmare trying to get a stab in. 3rd and 15th were by far the most abusive as well as the 6th.
Don't mind me. Just a guy who never beat HTA #3 and #15.
I have so much trouble with the left arm. I’m trying to figure out the technique you use because I end up climbing there a bit. Never played 3. Basically need hard timed and speed run for platinum so I’ve played it a bit. Got used to that max stamina lol
Thank god you can now defeat Gaius through normal means this time in hard time attack mode. Defeating this colossus in the ps2 and ps3 version is too hard.
Go to the body sigil first, then jum to top left arm, one big hit on the arm sigil , before climbing up to do the head. After finishing the head go back to the left arm to finish. That's the way I was able to achieve it.
If it helps anyone, I found doing 3 strikes then running down to his shoulder helped stop him from shaking his head so much.
Thanks for helping me kill the third colossus thanks to this tutorial I was able to get the accomplishment I needed
For anyone having trouble with the head shaking, as soon as you climb up his arm, go and grab his top right shoulder. He should then look down and as soon as you see him do it, climb up to his head and get 3-4 good hits on it. Rinse and repeat until you have the back and left arm left! No tips for that though, seems to be complete bullshit
Guys trust me. Go head,arm,then stomach. You're already up there when at the head so go for the arm because the climb from the stomach back to the arm will fail every time. Its takes too long
I am so glad that they adjusted the times in the PS4 version. Might be getting that Platinum trophy slightly more easier.
I hate this gaius!!! Shakes to damn much
D Roc better than low stamina run originals
Aka choice stamina, when you don’t collect lizard tails for more challenge
I found that it was easier to jump down to the stomach after hitting the head THEN moving on to the arm
I am REALLY having a Hard Time with this guy. Seriously, i can barely finish with his head sigille under 4 minutes without even touching his belly or arm. I’ve been trying to do the sword jump - no luck with that. I’ve managed to do the arm-leg-arm jump and spare a minute or so. But now even that became difficult to make (Wander is falling off the damn sword !!). Well, it looks like it’s possible but it’s PURE LUCK, guys.
For now I am not giving up - this guy must go down or people will be forced to wear those stupid shoes I swear to God.
Every colossi wiggles so much more in the time attacks, it's unbearably frustrating, it should be fixed, it's not fun if I can never stab them, I'm on number 3 on hard and I can't beat him with that joke of a stamina bar. How are you so lucky???
Damn yo I could NOT beat #3 Gaius or #15 Argus, like 40 tries each. I took a weeks break and went back today and beat them both first try. I had established fresh muscle memory. Sub 8 seconds Gaius and Sub 1:30 Argus. It took lots of practice and patience. Thanks for the guides!
Thank you so much for these! I was looking for some non-shortcut walkthroughs for hard time attack :)
I swear this is difficult even on normal time attack. But I found out if you chill on its shoulder, it's confuses the ai if you immediately go for the head when it starts shaking its should
Just finished it. Lot's of rage, but finished it... phew.
congrats
Finally f****** get it 6 minutes and 20 seconds it was f****** glorious that Queen sort is booking beautiful thank you so much to everyone in the comments you gave tips and tricks thank you to PS4 trophies for being a bloody awesome guy thank you thank you to my brain that didn't go f****** crazy over this experience I probably aren't even writing this properly that's all
You speed runners make this look SO easy.
I've lost count on how many attempts I've tried on this.
(Hard mode)
. Some runs, I can get his head sigil done 8-9 hits) and it's fine...other attempts, he won't stop shaking his @#$&ing head. Then I'll try to get to his arm but he keeps shaking it and if I try risking letting go to land in the exact spot at his tricept, it misses most of the time and I fall to the ground OR, I'll make it...but stamina runs out SO fast and I can't get to a recharge spot in time and fall.
And if I DO get to the recharge spot...he shakes his arm SO much and I fall off (stamina already low and I'm holding on for dear life).
Frig, this guy is difficult!!
I didn’t even know that yellow thing was the grip meter haha😝 was a LOT easier after I saw that in this video. Thanks 😂
Made it in 06:29:46 :D
Holly shit! Thats adrenaline pure! 😆
He is stabbing away from the sigil for the first two ones at least.. Maybe that's a trick.. Otherwise he shakes a lot
The sigil on his arms takes me 4 full stabs for me. How are you doing it in only 3???
After countless tries I've finally beat this twitchy bastard!
I did armour break, stomach, arm (In two tries. I had to jump to waist for stamina) then head.
The tip that paid off best was: push right on your LEFT stick while charging your stab! This seems to help with stability and maxing out your damage.
I got 5:30 by doing the sword jump, thankfully it only took like 5-6 tries. Hard time attack is no joke.
I'm having a really rough go on this jerk. Whether on his head or left arm I get shook like mad! Even sneaking in half stabs aren't cutting it. I run out of stamina or time. He just shakes way too much!
The trick with this guy is to dominate the "no breaking the wrist" strat and it is not that bad. You can complete it in under 5 min. It is the hardest colossus though...
My sister and I just CANNOT pull this off. Maybe your videos will help? You are awesome
If you sheath your sword you can charge your attack a bit faster
This gave me quite a bit of trouble. Though the 15th one was WAY worse. I can't imagine ANYONE being able to do this in under 5 minutes though.
I did this 14 seconds faster by dropping from the head down to the mid section and after finishing that jumping to the left arm.....climbing back up the arm after draining a lot of stamina trying to stab it seems unnecessary.
I don't even know how he's able to do it in one stamina meter, every time I drop down the arm and I am close to my third/fourth stab I'm out of stamina. I'm going to try your method instead.
Head stomach Arm. Much easier. To get the head to stop moving..jump over the neck and grab the head, stab and reposition during the head shake spamming the stab until you get a charge if he keeps shaking reset on the back of the neck. Then to the back and drop down to stomach and then to arm....I jumped directly from the waist to the arm but you could climb up the back and down the arm in just enough time
Struggled with this for hours and hours. Somehow got 4:53.79 on my final attempt. I did do the wrist skip, though.
That was the hardest of all time attack on hard mode ever for me.
So I’m curious, how many stabs does it take to destroy the head sigil? To me it seems to take around 12 or more. If I attempt to stab dead center of the sigil I get shaken around like a leaf. By the time I get the sigil destroyed I’m at around the 4 minute mark and I just can’t seem to get the other sigil in time. Any suggestions???
the time isnt the problem, its the pittiful amount of grip.
Yeah I’ve been this guy in 3:40 some odd seconds easily and then time attack I can’t even fucking touch him -_____________-
I keep running out of fucking stamina every time I try to finsh off the arm vital point. That accompanied by the head shaking makes this the hardest to beat on time in my opinion.
Yoooo got it on 4th try. I just woke up and everything forget this boss
Gaius in hard time attack is the bane of my existence rn but my dumbass decided 'lets get the platinum trophy!'
Hard time: 4:38:62 i went to the broken elbow guard, jumped to the stomach, up his other arm to the head
I did It. Tnks.
Late to the party I know but I just started playing this game not long ago and after finally beating this poorly designed pile of trash I feel obligated to give an in depth recounting of how I did it for the sake of anyone that has yet to attempt this platinum.
First off preform the wrist skip which you can learn how to do by watching a video by a guy with the username bayjax. Title of the video is very simple resist the wrist trophy guide.
As soon as you’ve done that climb up his arm as fast as you can then stop and recoup your stamina on his right shoulder. Once you’ve done that position yourself on gaius’s head and grab on just before the week point and proceed to attack it with half charged stabs and jump onto his back if you need to once again regain some stamina.
Once that weak points delt with go back to his right shoulder and grab on until he begins to raise his left arm then quickly rush over and jump as close to the weak point as possible. If you landed on the weak point immediately start half charging stabs if not position yourself then do so. If you landed on the weak point you will likely destroy the weak point without needing to refill your stamina but if you had to position yourself self first you may need to climb back on his back for a moment.
Once that weak spots done for climb back on his back and carefully slide down to the platform on his waist then make your way around to the other side and latch on to your left of the weak points centre. Then half charge stabs until the weak point is no more. Once again you may or may not need to recover some lost stamina. If follow all these steps you’ll be able to beat this guy.
Screw the colossus, I was battling the physics . Every time I would go to grab his head Wander would just phase dash to his ear.
Man I hate trophy hunting, I don't even know why I do this to myself 😭
TYSFM I FINALLY DID IT
Found it easier to jump from the broken wrist the stomach, then run around to platform at his back the jump to his arm when he's not walking, do half his arm on th e way up to his head, do his head then come back and do the rest of his arm
Hey I already finished the game. I feel no shame in watching these videos before doing it myself. Lol
Oh my fucking god
I did it
Finally!! :D
He shook so much with his head, that i decided to attack his arm, recovered and then as he shook his arm, went to his head, then the arm again, then head again
(yep sounds very confusing)
Then as the head and arm were finished had still 1:10 min left
Went to the belly and finished him
Damn that was hard
This Colossus is really hard for me because he’s one of the few I die to.
And he kills me.
A lot.
I can’t for the life of me get to his arm sigil with enough stamina to destroy it. I can get down there (sometimes) but all of my time and stamina get drained while Wander fucks around trying to get his grip. I’ve tried going for this vital first, but I can never destroy it in one go and always end up falling or wasting too much time climbing back up to rest.
This used to be my favorite game of all time, but after struggling with this fucker for days I find myself cursing this game and the people who made it.
