Colossus 4 - Phaedra | Shadow of the Colossus Walkthrough Shadow of the Colossus Guide, walkthrough

The fourth colossus is found at the end of a narrow path between the rocks located east from the castle.

The path will take you to the next battleground. You need to descend and continue to the other end of the area to wake the colossus. The fight is rather simple. For now, stay on your horse. Equip your bow and shoot a few times at your opponent to provoke him to follow you (his eyes will become red). Lead him to the four small hills in the middle of the area.

Stay hidden and wait for a right moment...

When your opponent crouches, use its tail to climb onto its back

Your opponent will place itself on a hill next to the arena's entrance. When the colossus is close, enter the hole beneath the wall. Descend and emerge on the other side. For now, stay hidden and observe your opponent. When the boss leans down to the hole, he will crouch - use the moment to jump on its tail and climb onto its back.

The vital spot on the beast's neck - the second one can be found on the top of its head

You need to attack two (four on Hard) vital spots: a mark on the top of the beast's head and a skin crack on the back of its neck. Remember to watch if the opponent health's decreases with further hits - if not, let go and find another spot.

Hard

The two additional weak spots are found in the upper parts of the beast's front legs

The hard difficulty level sees you attack two small markings that require only a few hits. You can find them on the beast's body right before the two front limbs.
