Colossus 15 - Argus | Shadow of the Colossus Walkthrough Shadow of the Colossus Guide, walkthrough

The penultimate boss is located in the ruins to the northeast. Proceed to the end of the arena to draw out the beast.

Run to a line of platforms located next to the wall and draw your bow to provoke your opponent to strike. The boss will step on your platform, protruding it and enabling you to climb the wall.

Hide after provoking your opponent in order to avoid getting damage from the strike

Continue provoking your opponent to perform a sword attack by firing at it with your bow. You need to land a few shots - wait for the moment when the boss performs a swing and shoot at it then to be sure that the opponent launches its strike. The colossus will crush the ceiling, enabling you to continue your climb.

The bridge enables you to jump on your enemy

Now continue to the bridge. Stay away from the central part of the bridge, as the opponent will destroy it. Provoke him again and you'll be able to jump on the beast's head/neck.

Destroy the vital on the boss' right elbow to make the beast release its weapon

The boss has a vital area on its head, heart (Hard difficulty only), and a small crack on its right elbow. Hit the elbow area to make the boss release its weapon. You can use your bow to destroy the right elbow area - this will get you through to the next stage (signalized by a short cut-scene). The palm of its hand contains the final vital point.

The palm area is difficult to access. You can try to get access to it from the boss upper body or make an attempt to provoke a hand attack from the ground (dodging the attack after the swing). The task isn't easy, as the opponent raises its hand quickly. You have to use this short window of opportunity to grab a hold of the palm. Destroy this vital to emerge victorious from the encounter.
