Beyond having a cool design, it's really fun figuring out how to get one over on him, knocking him from his high walls so you can jump down on his belly to deliver a fatal blow.Ĭenobia is the other smaller, tiger-like colossi you fight in Shadow Of The Colossus.
One of the first headscratchers you come across in the game, Kuromori is a giant, laser-firing lizard trapped in an arena. While he lacks complexity, Valus is an overture to everything that Shadow Of The Colossus is, and it's a pretty good one too. And, to be fair, it is a pretty good first impression on behalf of Shadow Of The Colossus: the view of watching this giant but strangely beautiful monster step into view, and then the music kicking in. What's there to say about Valus, really? He gets props for being first. Pelgia is a fun, gimmicky fight that has you navigating an island-like Colossus by hitting its teeth (e11.

It's also pretty annoying to find the right location on his back so he doesn't shake you while you try to stab him. And while his size might make him interesting at first, the fight is rather dull and tedious, with you tricking him into falling off a temple and then jumping on his back to stab him. Short, gimmicky, and anti-climatic, Phaedra feels like a missed opportunity more than anything else.Ĭelosia ultimately amounts to little more than a novelty: he's one of the two 'small' Colossi you fight. only for the fight to end in a quick round of hide and seek. It's a shame, given the impressive introduction as you ride up to see this massive stone horse come to life.
In a game packed to the brim with impressive, and sometimes awe-inspiring boss battles, the 4th colossus is the only one that comes close to being a stinker. Which Colossi rises to the top? Read on to find out, wanderer. To celebrate the rerelease of one of our collective favorites, we ranked all of the colossi of the game from worst to best. The recent remaster serves as a reminder of why that is: this is a game of beauty and isolation, and, of course, of intense, epic battles with absolutely colossal beings.
