[PS2] Shadow of the Colossus

Ok time for some cool things from Shadow of the Colossus world =)

Dead Tree:

I know it's only Dead Three but it one and only in whole game and its BIG.

ICO Beach?

We know that SotC happened centuries before ICO so it look's a bit different.

ICO Castle?

Same as above you can see it only from the bridge and it's quite not to well visible but its location is there it should be on map if we accept this beach as ICO beach.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

• ICO Beach:

You may be right... but still it's only place that you can get to the outside world and can be clue about what will happened in sequel of Shadow of the Colossus.

• ICO Castle:

Well it’s in the place near beach besides its structure... It can be town where Wanda is from. Maybe it's a little spoiler about sequel?

• White Argo:

If you will finish game on Hard Mode you get Hard Time Attack. After beating all Colossi in time and getting all the items you get white Argo (it’s Agro really but it was changed). When loading or starting a new game press Circle and for brown Argo press Square.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah I noticed that. You can't get out cause it would be to easy and you fate would change.

It refers to ICO and we know that. From this point Unknown City is visible to.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well as for what EMON say... I think that ICO is what Wanda had to do to make atonement for what He has done. But it's only my opinion... besides if ICO is many centuries after SotC then it’s impossible. But somehow horned people are being born and somehow they got out from where they ware. So maybe ICO and SotC aren’t in such big time distance?

As for the town. It can be spoiler about another part of the great ICO and SotC sage? Maybe it will show connection of ICO and SotC. This building can be another temple holding clue to the shadows.

P.S

Spoiler:

You know that in US version at the end there is no Mono at the alter and un Non-US version she's there? I can post shoots of it =).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah think so to. Did you find the Dead Tree or want me to tell you where to look fot it?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok here is the location of Beach and Dead Tree:


Here is how Wanda changes throu game:


How ya doing, buddy?

Changes are visible in Hairs color that is changing in to Violet and other body marks like weird violet places from his chest to the top (see them first on his neck). then it's getting on his face covering the cheeks. On the end his whole body is changing but his eyes are the best =D!

Most amazing jew boots

I was trying it but alter is the only place where you can get close up to his face and see it as close as it is here. If you know any other place where I can get better shoots tell me.

The difference in skin tone and hair color would still be apparent, though.

I'll see maybe with Sun Sword (Sword of Sun) in hand it will look better.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll see what I can do =) But you know going there after each fight and making shot is quite boring. But will try and see what I can do =).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I want to ask you all if you have PAL version as well? I just got mine and I have to say I see some differences.

First of all game looks better but its normal for PAL games. I can see a place even far away that in NTSC wasn’t visible. Diagonal jumps take stamina so getting to Secret Garden is even harder. Jump stub tames a lot of stamina so you can use it not too often.

Any other differences?

How ya doing, buddy?

Well PAL is harder. Stub Jump take a lot of stamina and it's very useful in Time Attack (saved me yesterday!) I still want to finish it for 100% only 3 Colossi left in HTA 3rd, 4th and 5th =). I think 3rd is the hardest of them!! It would be easier if I know how to Sword Launch... But I never can do it right...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Phew!! I just got my hands on #5th and received Cloth of Desperation - Can be used as a parachute if you fall from a colossus. Now only #3rd and #4th left two biggest bastards in Hard Time Attack... after those two I will get Queen's Sword - The sword from ICO (wow!). Inflicts a mortal blow in one strike.

About the place for shots. I'll see in to it.

Unlock White Agro without beating Hard Time Attack:
Beat the 16 colossi in normal time attack mode to unlock Brown Agro, do not save however. Do something to kill your character and retry when asked. You'll be standing infront of the final colossus, however it did not save your time. Defeat the colossus again and White Agro will be unlocked.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well it work with HDLoader but you need to have special Chip to run it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

WoW... nothing new then =)

For me only one Colossus left in Hard Time Attack... its #3rd one... Today only 10 sec less and it would be over... ehh I want my Queens Sword =(. Anyone have it?

FELIPE NO

Yeah that sux. It would be nive to save game on HDD. Anyway I still have #3rd to get my hands on in Hart Time Attack. For now I just stoped and got in Onimusha 4 =).

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well there is no time to waste. It's already late to buy it. All versions are the same. Only thing is that PAL version is harder but better looking in 50 Hz. I don't know on what are you waiting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Thy next foe is... A ruin hidden in the lake... A ripple of thunder lurks underwater..."

Well well =) This fight is one good fun!! Besides it's easy on Time Attack if you know what to do =) If you have any problems with him just tell me.

Advice:

Spoiler:

Colossus Road = Wanderer Stop

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You just want to see another huge thing that want to crush you that's all =D It's like desperate fight for your life buy your the one that puts you life on it.

Short? It depends if you want to finish it once or get 100% of it. If so you need to get 15h for normal + 18h for hard + 4~5h for Time Attack on both levels. After this time for boosting stamina to get to the Secret Garden.

I have both saves from USA and EUR version of someone want.

You can just google for it or use you Tube.

Something for SotC fans =D



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Nice one =D Go to have them all (like pockemons). I hope there will be all 16 released =)

FELIPE NO

No way I would pay 90$ for 195mm plastic figure. 195cm sure yeah but not 195mm =D Shame that there is nothing more for me to discover in SotC =(
