Shadow Of The Collosus

Making love out of nothing at all? Sounds fitting with SotC. I think I still have this game. Might pick it up again. Then again, I probably traded it in, wouldn't really mind if I did.

Both Ico and SOTC are fantastic games. Two of the best for the PS2.

Well, I started playing this game, and so far it's pretty cool. So, from what I gather there are no random battles? No minions to kill and then a boss fight blowout? Are there any secrets I should know about in order to make this game better? And who is the girl?

nobody knows who the girl is

the game is simply 16 boss battles back to back

its not an rpg

so no random battles

Sixteen boss battles back to back? Sounds like a short game. So what makes this game so good?

The girl is supposedly his love interest from what I heard on multiple interviews with the developers of the game. Just 17 (?) big boss fights.

The epic scale of the bosses and the way you have to figure out how to defeat them

And dont forget the exploration

well if you if you kill the lizards and get the fruit from the trees they increase your health and your stamina

That too, but I like to ride around on my horse and check out all of the landmarks and ruins that the developers knew we didint HAVE to look at.

I heard that on certain copies of the game there is an extra boss battle. How to activate it, I got no clue. It's just a rumor anyway.


EDIT: I searched it and here it is. This is also how you get to the secret garden.

Secret garden
Successfully complete all four modes and have a large amount of stamina. Then, climb the back of the temple you first started in. Climb up the ivy and follow the trail all the way up and around the ledge to the right. Jump across at the other end of the ledge to reach the next set of ivy. Continue on until you get to another ledge above that you must climb around. Once at the other side of this ledge, climb to the right then shimmy across another ledge that leads behind a column. Jump to the ivy-covered column, then continue climbing. The ivy will lead to a walkway. Climb the stairs and walkway to the left of the garden. A sequence will begin and the seventeenth Colossi will appear. Defeat the Colossi to open the path to the top of the temple. Note: Eating fruit from the trees in the garden causes damage.

It is possible to reach the Secret Garden early. Find the patch of ivy behind the Temple you start at (almost directly under the huge bridge you came in on). If your grip meter is high enough, you can just jump straight up the side until you reach the first ledge, which has a small patch of leaves on it. Position yourself directly under that patch of leaves. Continue to hold Grip/Duck and jump straight up. Your character will immediately duck in those leaves, allowing you to refill any lost grip. Then, continue around and up the side until you reach the path leading to the garden.
