LaochEire Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) My PS3 RROD on me and I lost my saves. Think I had plenty of time to spare on all except HTA 3, obviously. Been a good while (almost a year) since I platted this game, but I still think it as my hardest/most fun/proudest plat. Such a wonderful game. Spend more time in the SOTC forum than any other on these boards. Don't know why, always come back here. Edit: BTW, that was totally off topic , wish I had my saves to post my times.

SerpentSeed Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Sorry to hear that. I'm not getting any spare time in hard attack. Got a lot in normal though. I really would love to get this platinum. Got ix more to go now. 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, & 15. Finally did them all. I'm so proud of myself.

SerpentSeed Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Let me give you some tips. 3 HTA: after he swings his sword down at me (not stab down) I ran up and made sure to hang on the side of it. Then I got up and jumped onto his side. There is a small platform you can kneel on. Then from there jump onto his upper arm and climb until you are at his elbow. Wait until he stops and bends over, then go to his stomach and he won't shake you for a while. Remember to hold Square when charging for faster charges. Afterwards go to his head and get like 1 or 2 stabs in then go on his back while he shakes so you don't fall off. Keep repeating until head symbol is gone. Last you should grab onto his shoulder opposite the symbol arm. He raises his symbol arm and you can easily reach the last symbol. This is the video i used It worked. Argus was real tough and so amazed when I did it. Once I got on his head I quickly started stabbing until it was gone. Pretty fast. Remember to hold square for fast charging. I beat Barba within 2 seconds. When he kneels down to look for you, you can get on his hand with the symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he kneels down to look for you, you can get on his hand with the symbol. Thanks for the tips! You charge stab faster by holding square? I didn't know that. So far I haven't needed any guides/videos but I feel that is going change. I haven't yet had a go at #3 or #15 but I've had a go at Barba without looking at any guides. I just couldn't do enough damage on the hand - he just "flicked over and over". With his hand, do you just jump on, get one fully charged stab in and then jump off and go into the hiding spot again (do this three times?). I can finish the head sigil and back sigil in under 2 and a half minutes, it is just the hand that is causing me grief. I remember #15 on my hard playthrough. The chest sigil is freaking annoying he shakes so much. I'm not looking forward to that. Edited October 18, 2012 by Furious Gargoyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerpentSeed Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 When i learned the charge faster technique i went back to playing and took down #2. It really helped me. I was able to get at least one stab on Barba's hand. I'd hold on to try for another but if it didn't look like I could i would get off. I got Argus by keep trying. He was the 2nd to last for me.

Furious Gargoyle Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Took down Barba in 5:19.71. Ran straight to the end and hid under the building, then jumped on his hand when he leaned down to look for me and I charge stabbed his hand and then jumped straight off. I ran back under the building and repeated twice more (one time I got an extra full charge stab in). He just stood there while I stabbed him in the head over and over and I got through the back sigil with him doing that annoying shake twice. Finally got some luck. Now for Gaius.

SerpentSeed Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just study that video for Gaius. I was overjoyed when I did it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeyCow Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't know if this was luck but I found on HTA that if you grab just below a head symbol on any colossus you have a good chance of a perfect grip (ie they can't shake you) and I managed this on most TA's so maybe this will help you guys. A tip for HTA#15 is that when your up to his chest symbol, get a few charges and then when he starts shaking, you can let go and then immediately regrab and you will fly up his shoulder and its fairy easy to pull off (Passed him on my first attempt at this strategy as well as first attempt in total). This takes away the main problem which is running out of energy and falling off and wasting a few minutes getting back on him. The hardest TA for me were NTA #16 and NTA#6 as the times are quite low, they are a lot easier on HTA as you get more time. Also I can't remember the number but the turtle guy was a massive pain on all difficulties. Ill post my scores later btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Gargoyle Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I'm currently battling Gaius (HTA #3) and my best is down to 5:09 so I'm confident I can do it, but my god it is rage-inducing. I believe the game is broken on PS3 as on this fight Wander did not flail around like he was in a washing machine when the colossus was just simply walking. And always when you are at 95% charge he stumbles. It needs a run with absolutely no errors or stumbles and a bit of luck. EDIT: Finally did it in 4:55.55. If that last stab didn't land my controller would not have survived. Edited October 19, 2012 by Furious Gargoyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerpentSeed Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Congrats on beating Gaius. I looked at many videos on beating Argus. Not sure which one helped e the most. After getting on it's head I would quickly stab the head symbol which would stop him from trying to buck you off. I went for the hand next and made him drop his sword. Just a little prick works. You can climb during the cut scene. Use it to get on the other side for the hand symbol. He does sometimes slam his hand down to attack you if you are having difficulties getting the hand symbol. The chest symbol was my last and I freaked out when I got it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious Gargoyle Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I just beat Argus. Tried for 3 hours and I couldn't get within even 47 seconds of the target time. The damn thing shook like Elvis on fire and I couldn't clear the chest sigil despite all the helpful tips in this thread. But then it happened. I smashed him in 6:55.62. Everything fell together nicely, I can't explain it. Tips I can give. Shoot him in the chest at any opportunity until no more health comes off it anymore. Try to land on the sweet spot on his head (next to the right side of the spine facing forward) and get the head sigil. Then take out the arm and head back to the left shoulder. Bait him to do the mini shake and drop down and charge stab try again after he takes thee steps (2 charge stabs in full). I then fell off. Took out the hand (7 minutes remaining) and then went back up to the jump point and landed on his left shoulder -> mini-shake, drop down, slo-mo death cam!! Couldn't believe it. Thanks SerpentSeed and Scruffy8642 (again lol) for all of your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerpentSeed Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Nice going Angry Gargoyle. I'm glad I could help. It's nice seeing others posting their times. After I finished I was actually sad despite hating the Colossi moving so much. Never played the PS2 version which i hear they didn't as much or Wander had better grip.

Malus - 11:14.85/13:00 (1st try) So now the most difficult 2 left. Argus won't stop shaking his head. There is a rare chance where I can stab it. Not even talking about the cheast symbol. And Gaius is like insane. I had 1:40 left for the head symbol, but I kept hanging in his horns. It was so frustrating! Holding down square will help you charge faster. Use the video i posted for Gaius Get on his sword and then jump to the small ledge on his leg. From there get onto his arm when it's low enough and get behind the elbow. Wait there until he stops to bend over and then get to his chest. You can stab him uninterrupted for awhile. Then get to his head and do 1-2 stabs before getting down to his back. Repeat that until head symbol is gone. Next get on the shoulder opposite the arm symbol. He will raise his symbol arm and you can get the symbol easier. Argus took a lot of luck. I went to the first street like area on the left and waited for Argus to stomp on the tile so I could get up. Then after I get on his head I immediately start stabbing to keep him from bucking. After his head symbol is gone I work on his hand. I get to his arm and just prick him to make him drop his weapon. I can climb during the cut scene and I have to get to his hand. If you fall then you can get him to attack you with his hand to get it. The last is the chest symbol which is real hard. Had to drop down and get back up numerous times.

I've already seen the video, but I did it wrong! It helped me! After reading your post, it took me 6 tries to defeat it, in which 4 tries were jumping wrong of the sword fails. I had 30 seconds left! Thanks for the help Now the final one.. Argus! In hard mode it took me 50 minutes to defeat that thing.

Just like NTA, he didn't shake while I took out his head symbol, 4 quick stabs finished that symbol in about 15 seconds, had to wait about a minute for him to punch the ground but apart from that it was pretty much perfect 16: 8:23.07/13:00.00 - I did the first part really well but got on this ledge while climbing up it's body and it just kept losing grip for about 2 minutes before I realised it was never gonna climb up Edited June 7, 2013 by Light-and-magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
