SIXTH COLOSSUS

Another giant hulking traditional Colossus waits for you here. Equipped with no more than his hands and an angry temper. The room is big so it can be difficult to figure out exactly what you have to do, but once you know it's not that difficult. First of all you should know what attacks the boss uses and how you can avoid them. He's got two primary attacks, one where he punches the ground very hard, this can be dodged by running to the right. The other attack is when he stomps his foot onto the ground, when this happens make sure to jump just before it hits, even if you aren't close, the shockwave will damage you from a pretty big distance. It's interesting to note with the punch attack that after he punches the ground, you can grab onto the hair on the back of his hand and climb from there, but you can't get past his bracelets (at least I wasn't able to.) There isn't really any point in this and it's not the best way.

What you have to do is gradually make your way to the south end of the room, which is the opposite end from where you came in. Along the way there are walls. Each wall has a number of small platforms along it that you can climb up, and then from there, jump up and over the wall. Another way to get past the wall is to wait for the Colossus. His punch attack will smash the wall down leaving a huge gap you can simply run through. Basically all you want to do is run to the other end of this room with the Colossus following you. When you reach that point then we can climb.

At the end of the room if you run up the small stairs you'll find an area between the pillars which is under the ledge above, and pretty much offers you a hiding place from the Colossus since it is sheltered, this place is very important. Stand in this little sheltered area, as close as you can to the wall at the back. The Colossus will approach but not be able to see you. After stepping around a little bit, he will finally and inevitably, bend down to try and peek into your little hiding spot. When this happens, his massive beard droops down to ground level and I think you know what to do at this point. Surprise! You found me! Now I'm going to run and grab onto your beard! That's the idea here.

Climb up the beard, hanging on tight whenever he gives it a good shake. Once you manage to climb around his head and get onto his back, it's reasonably safe to take a test, but he will still shake from time to time. The first symbol is located directly on the top of his head. When he isn't shaking like crazy, quickly run and grab hold of the hair on his head. This boss has a really wild swinging motion of the head that will do a number on your grip, so you want to attack quickly and always remember you can go back onto his back to take a break when you need it. This isn't the only symbol, so you only have to damage 50% of the boss' health before it disappears. Destroy the symbol and get onto the back.

The second and final symbol is located actually on his lower back. What you need to do is run down the spine and hang onto the fur where his back curves to a vertical slope. Climb down the back, and move over to the left, the symbol is actually off-centre and on the lower left side of his back. He's got a pretty crazy shake that he uses to try and get you off his back as well, but by this point you should be able to get the better of him. Three or four powerful stabs and that's the end of him for good.
