God, the sound design is so amazing. When I can hear his joints grind against each-other from pulling back and swinging the enormous club, really helps eventuate just how old the ancient colossus is, and their immense strength. Really impressive.
@@hotman_pt_ I disagree completely! The music is the strongest part of the game! The remakes sound design is incredible but when you hear the open way playing as you finally learn how to scale the colossus is one of the best moments in gaming.
00:31 That just has to be one of the coolest pieces of music ever created. Both themes are just perfect at conveying a feeling and atmosphere. What an accomplishment this game was.
Some colossus attack you at first sight, some others just watch you without attacking you, untill you provoke them. My theory is that the more aggressive colossus have already battled humans before, thus why their first intent is to kill you, the more neutral ones, that only attack when provoked, have never fought humans before, thus why they show no intentions of harm, and only attack in self-defense
@@sullymcdaniel4901Phalanx, the flying serpent in the desert, never directly attacks the player. Most of the big walking ones don't attack unless provoked. The sand worm is the most aggressive by far, and the bull and lion are close seconds.
I'm not sure that makes sense given that the ritual demands the Colossi be defeated in a particular order. My theory is that they vary in temperament because they each represent particular aspects if Dormin.
Everything about this battle is perfection imo. The character design, the battle strategy, the AI behaviour, and more importantly; the scale and atmosphere. Gaius is actually shorter than Quadratus and Phaedra, but it looks absolutely towering because of clever composition and frame design. The Arena Platform is a flat plane raised high above the ground. Which gives a nice separation of clutter, and emphasises the colossus itself. But my favourite part is the clever use of comparison. During the waking up cutscene, the camera pans to very cleverly show the Shrine of Worship in the far distance, looking shorter and stubbier compared to Gaius. This makes it look much taller than it is. I have no doubt, they put much more brainstorming and effort into that character specifically. They definitely realised they had something special once the character design was done.
On my native land there's a tradition where certain people wears furry masks that resemble animals... Most of them looks a lot like Gaius. I always looked at gaius as a giant version of these people.
I swear, Gaius is like the most popular Colossus ever Edit: Forgot I wrote this over 2 years ago, but there's definitely more Colossi who are popular as well, definitely Phalanx.
I am crying :( It's a great game. One of my favorite. I played it when I was a child. But... It's still being sad. Killing those majestic creatures... See how they suffer by the pain... This is a game. Makes you cry, introduce you into the history. You are the enemy in the game. (I know a lot of this game. I just say what I fell, not what I know)
Marcos Angel Medina Wander killed the colossus cuz Dormin was split to sixteen pieces and the pieces are in those colossus and why Wander want to free Dormin cuz Dormin promised him that if he got free he can save the princess I forgot the name 😂😂
Took me so long to beat him the first time, probably 30 minutes. I did figure out that he had to hit that one spot. This game makes me grip my controller harder than any other
This sounds weird but I can’t find any videos of him from afar like if you fall into the water and he just paces around the platform. Really creepy/cool
I didn't even knock the armour off. Came to a TH-cam video to see why the game kept telling me to do that even though I was on the second weak spot. Ended up just walking up it's weapon, jumping to its stomach and finishing that one. From there I was able to jump to the next arm platform, climb up to his head, and kill him.
I really like the designs with the colossi, makes me wonder if there was a point in time where the armor wasn't all broken up and worn out I wonder what they would look like when they were all cleaned up and stuff unless there wasn't a point that they were
Am I the only one that finds it really irritating that he climbs all the way up holding the sword, instead of climbing with 2 hands and only drawing it when he needs it? I mean climbing a massive collossus is hard enough, but to do it with one hand?
0:00 Colossus:oh yeah,you are here for the fight right? I was just taking a nap,really boring here nothing to do you know? But you came,you need to get the soul of your beloved one back so let's get it then. I won't make it easy for you though,if you want her back make it worth!
Gias has a great fight even if you don't know what to do. Don't know how to break the wristband? You don't have to! The game even rewards you for this with an achievement on the Ps4 and 5 versions! Though, you won't be able to hear the best use of " The Opened Way" in this game by doing this, but " Awe of the Power" is also a great piece detailing the shock of fighting this titan. Great boss!
I spent more times on the tedious jump to get to him and swim back and forth than the actual boss itself, which I beat in at least 10 minutes the first time I did it. Took me a f**king hour to make the goddamn jump.
Playing this after playing Sekiro was a bad idea, I'm getting more frustated than I should, and maybe I'm just an idiot but how the hell is "his armor seems brittle" a hint to "make him hit this part of the ground", I really want to like this game but climbing and riding the horse can be a pain in the ass

Same thought! They really amped up everything with the ps4 remastered version
less the music, i want to hear more of those sounds and not the music

@@dalgusmaximus4557 well, dont get me wrong, the music fits the style of this game. But I just want to hear those imponent and scary sounds

This soundtrack is a mstepiec
I love how in 3:30 the music drops as the final blow on the stomach is delivered
My first time playing, this was the colossus that got me hooked. There's something really cinematic about this one.
Probably the most precarious one
@@hydroshock1853 uh g
By far the coolest
Same
This one and the flying snake are my favorite
As soon as that music starts to play at 1:50, you know shit just became real.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I get serious goose bumps from it and a weird cold chill down my spine

I love the design of this Collosi. It's so iconic.
There's a reason why this one was in Little Big Planet and is the one on the PS4 remake box art.
On my native land there's a tradition where certain people wears furry masks that resemble animals... Most of them looks a lot like Gaius. I always looked at gaius as a giant version of these people.
What is your native land?
Sonora's coast. Those furry things are called "Fariseos".
gaius is a giant furry
Cool way to look at Gaius. I wonder if it makes the fight more personal or more outlandish.
God tier character design.
I have the art book with the beta version of this specific colossi, thank god they changed it. It's beautiful
Came here to find out he has to hit the pad to break his weak armor. Been years. Thanks.
Had no idea you could even knock off this guy's armour. That explains why it took me hours to do this guy in with all the perfect jumps I had to do
Whe are you?

when i first played he was scary
@@pokehunterhd he's my favorite too. OwO
@@pokehunterhd gaius and phalanx are most peoples favorite by far. there's a reason gaius is on the box art.
Hes on the box art for a reason
This looks incredible.
i dont think you understand how hard this was with controller drift smh
Aydinio literally me it was so bad
Almost Every game have the same bad control lol
This boss exemplifies how much this game's music is AWESOME-
I tried for so long to try and figure out this battle without searching up how to do it, but I succumbed to weakness 💀
Gaius looked like he was just sun-tanning in the beginning 😂
Cool
Imagine you are just chillin and one tiny organism come outta nowhere
The part where you climb his sword is just so fucking cool
I am crying :(
It's a great game. One of my favorite. I played it when I was a child.
But... It's still being sad. Killing those majestic creatures... See how they suffer by the pain...

I never felt bad at all. Not once
Shut the fuck up u dumb ass they can’t feel shit
@@AKAdaJoker14 Not even Phalanx? he never tried to hurt you.....
I always did love this colossus, he was always my favourite out of the 16 with Malus at 2nd
6:28 RUN BITCH RUUN!!! XD
Took me so long to beat him the first time, probably 30 minutes. I did figure out that he had to hit that one spot. This game makes me grip my controller harder than any other
The scale of this game is just absolutely incredible especially for originally coming out on the ps2.
My favorite
My favourite collosus is Avion
Same
My is Hidrus
I like Pelagia the most but Hydrus is a close second
How was i supposed to know i had to make him smack the stone floor
This brings back my childhood
I like watching this game more than playing it.
Is it me or do we all jump off the edge after killing gaius lmao
We all try
I love it so much and the graphics are incredible
This one really didn’t wanna die and I felt bad even worse than the first 2 lmao
This sounds weird but I can’t find any videos of him from afar like if you fall into the water and he just paces around the platform. Really creepy/cool
Huh, didn’t beat him like that. I climbed the sword and when he moved his arm up I let go. Sent me flying to the arm bracelet thing.

When I realized you were playing in hard mode...shit bruh
Ohh that explains the small damage
I'm tall and lumbering like Gaius so this boss fight was always my favorite.
Man gaius i do know why i made a lego of you but i love it
Shit I’m having issues climbing this thing.
Yeah, I spent a good 25 minutes trying to climb the sword. Kept falling off.
I'm replaying on hard mode. Didn't realize the huge difficulty difference until this boss
Kratos: "First time?"
Idk, i love to see something colossal walking toward me
"who disturbs my slumber?"
This is what a flea sees when I'm trying to kill it
When you call someone “Little guy”
nice touch trying to escape at the end.
I never figured this out when it came out and it took until now for me to get the game again and watch a damn video now TH-cam is a thing lol
Came there to find out he has the hit the pad to break his weak armor been years thanks.
buenísimo el JUEGO lo jugaba con mis primos me trae recuerdos 🤩🗡🏹😢
Wander Flipping Like He In The Matrix
the last ant avenging his ant colony by fighting the 5yo with a stick
This one took me ages to beat love the game though it's addicting
I really like the designs with the colossi, makes me wonder if there was a point in time where the armor wasn't all broken up and worn out I wonder what they would look like when they were all cleaned up and stuff unless there wasn't a point that they were
Almost has that wookie face
Huh? Sorry music i cant hear you over EVERYTHING THAT IS WAY LOUDER THAN THE MUSIC!
(The music is barely audable compared to colossus noises)
That's why it's called "Background music"
Josh :I its a problem when you cant hear the music just about at all. A major problem when the OST is one of the best OSTs in all of gaming.
dannydude 64 Yes, and in the original version the music sound so much clear
IFRG97- axactly. The one thing I would change abiut this remake.
You can change the audio settings
Am I the only one that finds it really irritating that he climbs all the way up holding the sword, instead of climbing with 2 hands and only drawing it when he needs it? I mean climbing a massive collossus is hard enough, but to do it with one hand?
i think it would make more sense if he only drew it when your holding square on the week point
the death is so beautiful ❤️❤️
0:00 Colossus:oh yeah,you are here for the fight right?
I was just taking a nap,really boring here nothing to do you know?
But you came,you need to get the soul of your beloved one back so let's get it then.
I won't make it easy for you though,if you want her back make it worth!
the 5.9 foot guy fighting the 6.1 foot guy to see who gets the bad bitch
This music… BY GOD!

4 years later & I'm having trouble with this exact boss. Fuck this guy, lmao.
6:17 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and he survive that fall.
3:00 watching this while having a stomach ache isn’t pleasant
Me too haha
0:20 that sound
Would a VR SotC work? I'm curious about that even being possible
I spent more times on the tedious jump to get to him and swim back and forth than the actual boss itself, which I beat in at least 10 minutes the first time I did it. Took me a f**king hour to make the goddamn jump.
Me too! I was with a friend and we both take turns on trying to make that jump. We spent literally an hour 🤣
Second 🥈 favorite collosus he is 59 meters tall
Best Colossus in the game
Avion was better and more epic boss
By far the best
He was sleeping but he didn’t want to wake up
I love your vids
you are a child, you have a big stick, and you try to smash an ant, but you don't know how the ant sees it? this video is the answer
The mosquito when I am busy 😂 :
I figured out you had to climb on the sword but couldn't go further than jumping on the legs.
Between jumping the gap and figuring out what to do to break the armor, this fight was a pain in the ass.
But if that takedown isn't satisfying
thats the best game ever broo
Forgive me for sounding morbid, but I remember more blood from the colossuses in this game
Wait, did Gaius always have a weak spot on his arm, or was that new
This is living hell for anyone with megalophobia
Looks amazing
Just now playing this game. Half of the hit areas don’t even show up for me. So frustrating.
Are you on hard mode?
I did the achievement to kill him without breaking his arm guard. Was pretty annoying but possible
I had issues just finding it cause I didnt know you could swim and I tought the structure un the middle was irrelevant
I just can't finish this boss fight, gaius refuses to hit the floor it's really frustrating
I think you have to pretty much be next to the metal thing that he hits for him to do that attack.
if you’re close to it he will perform a stomp attack, but if you’re far from range he will rather throw its arm
What happens when you climb on his face ? What when you attack him in his eye?
Suspicious Salandit oh... okay
RODION PLAY RUS they are invulnerable everywhere except for their weak spots
Suspicious Salandit Except for you know... Dirge.
i never understood why in video games giants move so slow
Great video, but god, the controls and camera in this game are complete ass. Just the absolute worst.
I mean it's not the worst controls ever, but yeah ... pretty bad
CDI Zelda or Superman 64 have the worst controls...
Not bad
Emm, press L1 and something magic happens?
Juan Estay He honestly has a point. I mean the game is pretty old its not really a surprise
didn't know the yellow circle is your stamina😂😂🤷🏻♂️ that's why I always fell down, now it's really easy
Gius - WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER
Colossus' have incredible eyesight...
Wander is a horrible person to be honest, he stole sixteen lives just to return one. I don't care if he loved Mono, those colossi were innocent.
That's what makes the game so amazing you play as the antagonist the whole time essentially
@@MC-ru3pm Yeah, it's super cool, but still, Wander is a terrible person. 😂
Dude, just gone for the head, i can't see him crying or screaming like that
best game ever

this was sad, they were only killing you as self defense, when i played it and did not hurt phaedra, it did not kill me.
what happens if you just let the colossi to come after u?
Epic boss! beat him him 2006 on a ps2 and everyone complaining about the camera and poor design lol
Better boss fight than talos from dragons dogma 2
How the hell do you get there?
His growls creep me the fuck out
