Just after I do my first stab on his wing, I wait so I can drop down and then grab his other wing and I was lucky enough to hit just above his weak-spot, so it was a perfect drop and I didn't have to try this segment so many times.Just before the cut-scene starts where the 5th colossus is flying around, I rolled straight so when the cut-scene ends I'm already in the water and that way I saved some time.I don't know what happened when I stabbed the second stab on his neck, he lowered his neck, but then he raised his neck back very fast and then I had to do those stabs again which took some time.I didn't take any risks when I succeeded on the sword launch, and you'll notice it.I used a lot of my time on this segment, because I never succeeded in that sword launch, I got it the first time but later I screwed up really bad and had to retry the whole segment.I can't say I can get it right everytime. The sword launch was pretty tricky and took a lot of time to learn.Now I can confirm that you can take a short nap and play at the same time (but I don't advice it). I accidentally took a short nap while riding, but nothing really happened.You'll see some mistakes in this segment, like balance problems, but those mistakes won't slow you down.I don't know what exactly happened, but the only theory I've got so far is, that if I shoot his foot too early he doesn't have enough space to fall, so I lost a second or two. At the beginning of the fight, you might notice that I'll shoot an arrow straight at his foot, but nothing really happens, he only roars and then keeps walking.The other mistakes are so small that you won't notice them (I think). It's faster than climbing up on his chest. The only mistake is that I didn't grab his nose. Not much to say about this segment, there aren't many mistakes.Now I'm going to put my total times on each segment:Īnd now some notes on each of the segments: There are 16 segments in all, each segment has the locating and defeating of a colossus. When I finally found one, I read the whole topic and I was really disappointed, because there were few people who said they will do the SotC run, but none of them ever did, so I decided to take that job for myself and now here I am, writing this comment and proudly presenting my speed run! I hope you will enjoy it!
So I decided that I'll learn those trick some day and I remember the day when I first time came to the SDA forum and started searching Shadow of the Colossus topic(s). When I started this run, I didn't know anything about those tricks the japanese players are using, because I hadn't heard anything about BGR's site, when I first saw their videos, I was really excited. My completion time is: 1 hour 34 minutes 30 Seconds, but I'm not disappointed, I'm very proud of it, because no one has done a SotC speed run before as far as I know. Later my goal became under 1 hour 30 minutes, but I didn't make it. My first goal was to beat this game under two hours. In the SDA forum I got much help, but Sniper1263 didn't help me directly, I watched his YouTube videos and I learned some tricks from his videos, so thank you again! But I've got to thank BGR44's staff for making the SotC Time Attack site where I got a lot of help, because most of the tricks I'm using in Colossus fights are taken from BGR's site so without that site this run wouldn't be here now! I had many problems, some were smaller and some were bigger, but I didn't solve them all alone, I got a lot of help in the SDA's forum and from Gamefaqs and I can't thank enough the people who helped me out, but I really want to thank the following people: mikwuyma and the whole SDA's staff, VincentAC, conan2 and Enhasa and last but not least Sniper1263! All of them helped me alot. Sword and bow were the only weapons I used in this run. The only things I did were: Locate and defeat all 16 colossi. This was my first speed run, and I played with Normal difficulty, no fruits or lizard's tails eaten.
