Shining Lizard Guide


Recommended Posts

This is a guide to find all 77 Shining Lizards in the game. They are listed by their alpha-numeric grid code.

 

The lizards can be killed by an arrow to their body, being within the vicinity of a flash arrow exploding or being hit by your sword. You MUST kill all 77 lizards to earn the Endangered Lizard trophy. If you shoot them with a normal arrow and their disconnect their tail, do not leave the area until you are 100% sure you killed the lizard.

 

If you shoot a lizard in the tail while it's on the wall, it will fall to the ground and scurry away while leaving its tail on the ground so be sure any lizard you shoot off the wall is dead. If you do not manage to kill it, it will disappear from the map. Save your game and then quit out to the main menu and reload the game to make the lizard re-appear. Another tactic is to use the Flash Arrow (rewarded for completing all 16 Time Attacks on Normal) to kill the lizards; the arrows explode and can kill the lizard just by shooting close to it.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is there are save temples that multiple lizards hang around on. They can be anywhere on or around the temple so be sure to search everywhere. If the temple has multiple lizards you must kill one lizard then run a good distance away to get the next one to spawn.

 

The lizards are the black squiggly looking lines.

I just got this one after about 30 mins of running around in the same area looking for the north H7 Lizard. Ok so in this area you have the 2 spires - the smaller one in the North and the bigger one just south of it. the north most lizard is in between these two spires. There is an area which is the lowest shelf between these two spires. if you head south from here up on to the next shelf there is a protruding rock that is not too tall but taller then Agro. The lizard is on this rock.

 

This one is the rock facing North

I was doing this trophy today. Once I finished clearing all the lizards I realized that I hadn't actually killed all of them - I barely had disconnected their tails.

 

So yeah, do make sure that you've shot every lizard to death, otherwise you'll be facing a lot of frustration.

Do the lizards and fruit reset after you beat the game and continue? For example, I was maybe 2 lizards short on the first playthrough, beat the 16th, saved, and when I continued the lizards have repoped. Does that mean the 75 I killed before no longer count?

 

That's exactly right.

i have all of them except 1!!! the second lizard on D-7 ... the one that isnt by the save point! all the descriptions i find are too vague ... any help???

 

From the save point, follow the narrow path to the open area. Turn to your right and the lizard will be crawling on the rock wall there.

Welp, that was three and a half hours. Now to kill Colossi until I can get at the last three.

 

Time attack weapons remain available on subsequent playthroughs, I hope.

 

They do, as long as your save your game after the credits and load that save you will have everything carry over.

This thread just made me realize that I haven't actually killed all the lizards that i've hunted down so far. Do you think I could go back and kill the ones I didn't kill the first time or am I going to have to start over?

I would say this guide is a good checklist along with a map like the one posted on gamefaqs... but there you also got checklists for the fruits too...

GameFAQs: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) Fruit/Lizard Map by jekoln

 

I remember doing this for each playthrough. Have to make a checklist and check off those you get! lol

Would drive me crazy else. Might as well do it all as early as possible, there are only some very few that requires you to have progressed far enough in the game.

I know you already found it, but I had trouble with that one too. Not sure if I got turned around or what. I took the narrow left path heading west from the southwestern cape save point. When the path turns back to the right (east) and opens up, there should be a rock wall on the right and a cliff on the left. The lizard should be hanging out below on this cliff. I had to follow the cliff down and double back to find it.

Very nice guide :applause: but I'm a little confused as to why on the video for finding the lizard in F6 you walked right past him and kept on trekkin over the side of the mountain.

 

That wasn't my video, that's a video I found on youtube and the guy was making it on how to get to a certain ledge. It just so happens he walks by the lizard.
