Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game)	comment	Shadow of the Colossus is a 2005 Action-Adventure game and the second entry in the Team ICO Series. Directed by Fumito Ueda, the game does away with numerous conventional videogame formulas to create an aesthetically breathtaking experience centred on massive fights and world exploration. The storyline is vast but told with very little exposition, which allows players to form their own story based on their individual experiences.A young man named Wander enters a forbidden land on horseback, carrying with him the corpse of a girl named Mono and a stolen sword. He travels to the Shrine of Worship in search of Dormin, a mysterious god-like being believed to have the power to control the dead. Wander's arrival at the Shrine awakens Dormin; the deity's disembodied voice confirms Dormin can revive Mono... but warns Wander that he will pay a terrible price in return. Dormin instructs Wander to seek out and kill sixteen Colossi spread throughout the forbidden land; only after all sixteen of the giants have fallen will Dormin resurrect Mono.As Wander navigates the vast and mostly empty land on his horse Agro, he has only one tool to help him: the stolen sword, which is magical and creates a beam pointing in the direction of his next battle when held up to the light. This beam becomes less and less helpful as the game progresses, as finding the later Colossi involves lots of long detours through shadowy mountain paths and dark valleys; the sword tells you where to go but provides no guidance on how to get there. Aside from his sword, his bow, and his own strength and cunning, Wander has nothing else to fall back on; there is no armor to collect, no items to use, and no secret power-ups hidden away somewhere. (Well, not until New Game Plus, anyway.)When Wander engages in battle with a Colossus, he has no guidance on how to handle the David Versus Goliath situation but his magic sword, which will, again, tell Wander where to go — each Colossus has specific weak points Wander must hit — but not how to get there; it's all up to Wander to figure out how to (attempt to) climb the beast's body and (attempt to) attack those weak points. All of the Colossi will do everything in their power to make reaching those weak points difficult, so battles can take much longer than the typical boss fights in other video games. Once Wander kills a Colossus, he is transported back to the Shrine of Worship, and the process repeats itself...with some subtle changes in Wander's looks after each cycle.Or Wander can just spend hours and hours exploring the Wide-Open Sandbox, which is filled with Scenery Porn, Ruins for Ruins' Sake and plenty of space for him to ride Agro around on.This game is unique in several ways: While Wander can kill the local friendly wildlife for a small permanent stamina bonus, only the sixteen Colossi are recognized as his enemies. The game provides no towns or dungeons to explore, nor any other characters to interact with. The manual explains that other people consider the land cursed, and it also implies that a previous civilization lived there (which would explain the Benevolent Architecture). Wander has only a bow-and-arrow set and the magic sword in his inventory. No other items exist in an initial playthrough, and he cannot upgrade his current ones (except for replay value in a New Game Plus). Wander finishes the game in almost the same state as when he started it.Shadow of the Colossus was originally released on the PlayStation 2. In October of 2011, Sony bundled it with its predecessor ICO for an Updated Re-release on the PlayStation 3. Sony announced a remake of SotC for the PlayStation 4 during E3 2017, to be developed by Bluepoint Games with assistance from SIE Japan Studio. The remake's assets were made from scratch, along with an optional new control scheme, but it is otherwise faithful to the original. It was released on February 6, 2018.SotC serves as a prequel to ICO in terms of timeline placement. However, elaborating any further would reveal a massive spoiler with SotC proper. It is also in continuity with The Last Guardian, though Guardian's relation with SotC in the timeline is more ambiguous than SotC's placement is with ICO.A movie based on SotC was announced in 2009, but it currently sits in Development Hell. On one hand, it has plenty of potential for Scenery Porn and a compelling plot; on the other hand, how do you adapt what amounts to a puzzle game writ large? While Justin Marks had the initial credit for the film's screenplay, the studio ended up replacing him with Josh Trank after the success of his film Chronicle — at least until his next film Fantastic Four (2015) came along, as its massive failure (largely laid at Trank's feet) essentially ended any involvement from him.

While he survives falls from several stories anyway, due to either becoming an Empowered Badass Normal or otherwise being Made of Iron, at least he can lose health if he does fall onto a hard surface. Thankfully, it makes fighting the third, fifth, seventh and twelfth colossi a little easier should you find yourself falling off things a lot. If you love the art style, the colossi are more than ample distractions.

If you manage to climb the shrine, you can walk the bridge that links it to the mainland. When you get at the other side, you find an open exit. Try to go through it and you are pushed back by a strong wind coming from outside. This may be justified if this is Dormin's doing (the deity cannot allow Wander to leave before he slays all the Colossi), but it is really just the developer's way of saying, "Sorry, but the map stops here—what did you expect?"

He's told that doing so would bring his loved one back to life. As the game progresses, we see there is a group of priests who are traveling to the land, and Wander eventually discovers that each Colossus was a living seal keeping the Ambiguously Evil Dormin sealed away. Defeating the final Colossus results in Dormin breaking loose and possessing Wander's body just after the priests arrive to warn him of what he was doing. From there, Dormin eventually gets sealed back in, and Mono awakens to find a little baby with horns nearby.

They're usually in hard-to-get places that require some climbing, or falling, to get to, and some of them you definitely won't be able to reach on your first playthrough. There's no way to mark them on the map, and the counter showing how much you have is in the lower left-hand corner of the map instead of in the Stats screen. The only hint you have is your controller will make a strange sound if you're near one. Your prize for getting all 79 is the Sword of Dormin, the most powerful weapon in the game, but at the cost of reduced health regen.

In fact, even if he doesn't grab something, he'll still take less damage than a real fall would've done. This reaches its peak during the last colossus, where a fall from a colossus like a skyscraper is eased if you only grab one of the lower ledges at the last second. There are certain situations where this is averted, mainly outside of the Colossus battles.

Agro, who was last seen falling into a ravine having saved Wander's life, is alive and reasonably well (possibly due to Dormin reviving and summoning her back to the temple, just like the fifteen times previously), and Wander himself is given a second chance at life. Lord Emon has destroyed/resealed Dormin and shattered the bridge to the Forbidden Lands, so no one can trespass upon it, which presumably satisfies him. Wander is allowed a chance for atonement, as he privately wished. On the other hand, Wander had to go through a severe traumatic experience, could have (possibly did) die during his possession by Dormin, and the trio of Agro, Mono, and Wander are now stuck in the Forbidden Lands with no feasible means of escape. Oh, and all of the Colossi have been destroyed and left to decay.

Justified in that, well, they're really big, they're partly made of rock and stone, and (according to Dormin, at least), destiny says the Cool Sword is the only thing that can hurt them.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c	comment	Bragging Rights Reward: Beat the game once or twice and collect enough silver lizard tails to improve your grip, and you can climb to a secret garden on top of Dormin's tower as seen in the ending. Eating the fruit on the trees there will eventually reduce your health and stamina to less than the player initially starts with, though. The Sword of the Sun produces a beam even when in a dark area. This sounds useful, but it can only be unlocked on Hard Mode, which can only be unlocked by finishing the game on Normal first. In other words, you can only obtain this sword that helps you find the Colossi once you have already been to them all (and thus know where they are). The Sword of Dormin in the PS4 remake, found in a secret area underneath the Shrine of Worship. It is by far the most powerful weapon in the game, one-shotting early Colossi like Valus, but significantly reduces health regen. However, you only unlock it once you find all 79 Enlightenments, some of which are in places you can't get to on your first playthrough. So it's likely that by the time you finally get the Sword, you will already have max stamina, making the thing overkill. You don't even get a trophy for it! At least the Sword looks really cool, though.

The other method is to kill a Colossus and wait for the screen to go dark before being prompted. The PS4 version adds a manual save from the pause menu, but BE FOREWARNED: this will only start you from the closest Save Shrine that you have activated to your location at the time of the save, despite what you'll hear in some Let's Plays. This means that if you haven't activated any Save Shrines, you travel a great distance to a Colossus, save and quit, it's back to the Shrine of Worship with you.

Dormin's is described below and is also close to dormir, the French/Spanish/Portuguese word for being asleep. Wander's name is obvious.

Agro's name doesn't seem to come from anything meaningful, although it does mean fuss or bother in the Ido language. The All There in the Manual/Word of God names from the Colossi are usually rooted in some sort of mythology. Dormin is also Nimrod backwards. Nimrod killed a bull and wore its horns on his head in order to strike fear into his enemies, and he was also murdered and cut into several pieces. Both of which tie into the story of Dormin.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_85e1459a	comment	If you want to improve your grip by collecting lizard tails, but don't want to kill the lizards, you have the slightly harder option of shooting just the tail itself, which they will then detach and run away from. Notably, the stamina you build up throughout the game from fighting the Colossi stacks with each subsequent playthough, so each New Game Plus gets a little bit easier just based on that. So long as you're fine with a bit of Early Game Hell, you don't need to harm a single lizard.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: One of the most important artistic points of the game is that it deconstructs the concept of a Boss Battle. The Colossi are not monsters or insane villains; they're just animals who operate on territorial instincts, with Phalanx in particular not even bothering to attack you at all, and none of them would be dangerous if they were just left alone. The game goes out of its way to make you feel bad for killing them, especially given that you do it for a cause you know nothing about. To drive the point home, the game doesn't automatically end when Malus, the de-facto Final Boss, is defeated. Instead, there is one more sequence where the player takes control of a shadowy giant being attacked by bowmen, who are helpless before your attacks until Emon puts a stop to it, leading to one final moment of Controllable Helplessness where in order to end the game, Wander has to die. This effectively makes him (and by extension, the player) the final boss as punishment for what they've done.

It is a Justified Trope, since the location is one big ruin, so these structures had a purpose once. What that purpose was, however, is another matter.

Is Dormin evil? Are the Colossi natives of the lands, or were intentionally created to keep Dormin sealed? Did Mono know Wander prior to the events of the game? Is Emon and his men evil Religious Zealots who murdered Mono for no reason, or the real heroes trying to stop Wander from making a great mistake? The game doesn't give any hints one way or the other. It just presents the events as they are and doesn't take any sides.

If you ride along the south-western coast, you can end up on the beach from ICO's ending sequence. When fighting a colossus scared of fire, Wander picks up a stick and uses it in the same manner as his sword (that is to say, not very well). Among the bonus weapons from the Hard Mode time attacks are a sword styled like the ones Ico can find around the castle, and the Queen's Sword he uses in the finale. Some of the ruins resemble those found around the Castle In The Mist. Shadowy human-shaped creatures, like those fought in ICO, can be seen at several points in the game. invokedWord of God also confirms the fictional language spoken is the same one from ICO, and that Wander is the progenitor of the line of horned boys.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e	comment	The Sword of Dormin in the PS4 remake, found in a secret area underneath the Shrine of Worship. It is by far the most powerful weapon in the game, one-shotting early Colossi like Valus, but significantly reduces health regen. However, you only unlock it once you find all 79 Enlightenments, some of which are in places you can't get to on your first playthrough. So it's likely that by the time you finally get the Sword, you will already have max stamina, making the thing overkill. You don't even get a trophy for it! At least the Sword looks really cool, though.

So long as you're fine with a bit of Early Game Hell, you don't need to harm a single lizard.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: If you happen to fall off of the 5th Colossus during the fight and manage to land on top of one of the ruins sticking out of the lake, the Colossus will use its wings to blow gusts of wind at you and knock you back into the water, rather than swooping at you. It will also do this if you try to snipe at it from behind the fence surrounding the entrance to the lake. You will just get flung down the set of stairs behind you, though. Are you not a good enough shot to get those pesky silver-tailed lizards? The dev team thought of this too: After enough near misses, the lizard will shed its tail, which you can then pick up for the stat bonus. You will even see the (now tail-less) lizard still scampering about.

Also counts as Acceptable Breaks from Reality since the game would be nigh unbeatable if you got reduced to a greasy red smear every time you fell off even a moderately sized Colossus. If you reach an area (outside of a path to a colossus) where Agro cannot get to by walking, she will simply teleport to your side.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_dae59ff8	comment	Empty Room Psych: Averted. None of the bonus items or power-ups in the game are found by wandering around (rather by beating specific challenges) or other plot related NPCs or items anywhere in the game. The whole game is a love letter to Scenery Porn. If you search long and hard, you will find out that, aside from the secret garden area, the Forbidden Land really does not have anything else in it. Some players, desperate to find something new, will invoke this trope on themselves simply by getting hyped up over finding a particularly interesting rock formation or an out-of-the-way cliff ledge. Needless to say, there is never anything there.

She has some minor path-finding abilities, actively avoiding running into obstacles or off of high cliffs (and this navigational power is essential for at least one of the battles). The flip-side to this is that she does not always follow orders perfectly, will not run on narrow paths, and can be a nightmare to direct through enclosed areas—especially if trees are present.

Wander has a health bar, multiple weapons, bosses to fight, collectibles to search for, an overworld to roam, and an actual goal beyond "get out of here"; this is also the only game in the series which isn't a single beautiful Escort Mission one way or another.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb	comment	Railroading: It's possible to head to a different Colossus arena before the first Colossus as soon as the game starts. However, the Colossus simply won't be there until it's their turn in the boss order, regardless if their boss cutscene shows them reawakening in an area they realistically could have only been at prior. The official lore for this is that the Forbidden Lands were Frozen in Time until Wander set foot there, and the Colossi are slowly reawakening the longer Wander spends there. The out of universe reason is the limitations of the PS2 made it impossible to have all the Colossi's trigger flags active at once. Weirdly enough, the final colossus still has an extra seal to prevent the player from accessing their arena early. This is likely because getting to the arena is a Point of No Return.

Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	type	Sequence Breaking
Shadow of the Colossus (Video Game) / int_fb111d49	comment	Sequence Breaking: While it's impossible to fight the Colossi out of order, it is possible to skip certain phases in the fights against certain Colossi. Naturally, this makes for some pretty quick times in the Time Attack mode. The Gaius fight is based around a mountain-sized swordsman smacking the ground with his sword, and it gets stuck in the ground after every swing until he yanks it free. Wander can run up his sword while it's stuck, but any attempt to climb up his arm is blocked by his wrist guard. Normally, you're supposed to have him smack his sword against the iron plate in the arena, which causes the wrist guard to shatter. However, with good timing it's possible to jump off his sword when he raises it back up and get over the wrist guard or onto his and or belly, allowing you to climb up without having to break the wrist guard. Speedrunners love the obvious-if-crazy option; stand on the tip of his sword while it's stuck, and he will fling Wander into the air in the general direction of his head when he yanks it free. This cuts out 90% of the fight, but it's basically a Luck-Based Mission. In the Basaran fight, it's possible, thanks to a certain quirk in Agro's physics, to catapult yourself off of Agro and onto the tip of Basaran's "tail". Many actually prefer this method when compared to how you're supposed to do it, thanks to how finicky and long it can take to pull off. If you're bold enough, in the Cenobia fight, it's possible to lure Cenobia all the way to the final pillar and then use it as a platform to get up onto it. It requires very precise timing, however, and if it goes wrong, do not expect to have a chance of winning anymore. Normally you have to tempt Phaedra into trying to attack your hiding place and then wait for it to get tired and crouch down. With some fancy footwork, it's possible to chop out this process by jumping off of Agro, onto Phaedra's leg, and then quickly hopping up onto its back where the proper handholds are. Although pointless, a glitch involving staggering the stamina meter in the PS4 version using the hawk can allow Wander access to the final boss arena prior to beating the 15th Colossus. Doing so can cause some weird effects to the game. For example, triggering the Agro death cutscene puts for the Forbidden Lands into a permeant stormy state and causes Wander to lose access to Agro. Malus is also unloaded, allowing the player to fully explore the arena.
