    How to unlock Final Colossus

    This trophy is storyline related and cannot be missed. This is your sixteenth and final target in the game, bring him down to earn this trophy.

    Finding
    Head south from the temple, enter the canyon and take the path that forks right. Follow the light all the way to the structure between the two mountains. Stand on the pedestal and shine light through the hole in the structure to open the way. The missable save point is right inside here, so if you're attempting Tower of Prayer be sure not to miss it. Follow the stairs upward and to a bridge; Agro will have to gallop to make it across the bridge. From this point on just climb the structure until you come face to face with your final mark.

    Fighting
    Move up the stairs and take cover behind the pillar, move to the right and dive into the hole. Follow the path around until you're back outside and taking cover. Move to the right and again dive into another hole, follow the path until you're outside again and move right once. The last structure is too far for you to run or dive behind. Dive near the ledge of the path you took and shimmy to the right until you're behind cover and now drop down into the final hole. Follow the path and you'll find yourself at its feet. Climb the wall and work your way up the platforms until you're at the colossi's mid-section. Move to its back and stab the crevice; he will move his left hand to his back and you need to jump into it. Climb off his hand and up his arm to another crevice; stabbing this one will bring his right hand to you and you need to jump into it. Climb to the top of his right hand and stab it to make it hold still. Now use your bow and shoot an arrow into a crevice in his left shoulder; this will make him move his hand to his shoulder. Dismount his hand and climb up to the top of his head. Introduce the symbol to your sword until the colossus is dead.

    If you need some help making him hold still, dismount the head and stab the crevice in the shoulder.

    Hard Mode
    There are no additional crevices or symbols on Hard Mode.

    Time Attack
    This Time Attack isn't that hard even though it's the final boss. As long as you don't make too many mistakes there is no reason you cannot make the time limit.

  • That shoulder bit was annoying as hell, only battle I had to use a guide for...cool final boss though! ;)
  • I actually finished this one just now, took me 7 minutes 13 seconds to beat him. I found that if you spam the stab button it actually makes it way worse to get a stab in. I failed quite a few times because of it, picking your moments is key. Now time for HTA#3.
  • #1 - Yeah, it isn't intuitive that I should shoot his shoulder with the bow (or even stab the back of the hand). I wasted a couple of attempts trying to jump from the hand first. The trick of stabbing the shoulder to stop him from flailing was very useful for getting the head symbol though.
