I know this is real late, but noticing the eye to body ratio Phalanx probably has the smallest eyes. and it's a possibility that his eyesight may have been very poor hence why he seems so peaceful. for all we know. he couldn't even see you. when you think about it that way. it's even sadder because to Phalanx he'd have no idea why he's dying. his heart. or whatever they have as their anatomy. was giving out. his eyesight growing weaker then it might have already been. the light fading. his many wings losing strength. the vast open lands of the forbidden land along with the world outside it. even if the theory as to why he can't go outside of his flight pattern is true. is so close yet so far away. as the light fades around him. and he let out one last cry. the last proof of it's own existence. Echoed across the land. yet only heard by two. A loyal horse. And a lone Wanderer who at this point has begun to lose his sanity. It puts a even sadder tone on Phalanx's story if you think about it in that way.
SOTC fans , a theory . Have you ever noticed when clicking select the map pops up in a distinct way . As if it's zooming from the ground up , almost as if Dormin is watching every move you make . when you die and the eerie music starts almost as if Dormin is upset ?
Of all the Colossus deaths, Phalanx, to me, is the saddest. When you inspect the fight, this monster of a creature- One bigger than even Malus, you find that this massive creature never goes to attack you even ONCE. So you go and attack this magnificent animal, then kill it, while it never lifted a wing to defend itself. Wander kills it- This peaceful, beautiful creature. All for one meager Human who is already DEAD. Seriously, if that doesn't scream "HEARTLESS FUCKING VILLAIN", then I don't know what does.
PHWGaming I never saw Wander as a villain really. I think he was blinded by love (or whatever it was he felt for Mono), and thought he was doing a good thing. And by this point in the game, I think his sanity was already leaving him, so he wouldn't have stopped to think, "Hey, maybe thing ain't the best idea."
The Fact Wonder Is Tripping Over The Little Edge Lines On His Wings When He Is Dead, And Not Trip Over Them When Phalanx Is In The Air, Just Shows Wander Has Problems
While Phalanx is alive, it will always fly ahead without stop. So devs decided to make his fins permanently damaging (because in a real battle they will hit you on a huge speed).
Holy crap! I have never heard it scream like that! This is one of the saddest deaths I’ve seen but that scream just makes it so much worse! Really interesting video!
isn't it crazy that the developers intended for the colossi to 2 TIMES AS BIG as they were in the full game! pretty insane to me would have cause so much lag though! XD
I've tried and failed many times to climb onto phalanx's nose horn while it's flying, has anyone been able to do this? The view from there would be sweet
I kinda felt sad everytime i killed a colossus... was i the only one? btw this is the best game created imo. still trying to get my hands on ICO tho... never played it but always wanted to ;___;
This is exactly why you DO NOT give a giant monster thing a resurrection potion kids. It will lie there, half dead half alive. Kill it again, and again. Do it forever if you want. I don't care really, its your life anyway.
Nomad, did you know there's a way to stand in Phalanx face in flight during battle? With no hacking and some skill you can manage to jump to the place in front of it's helmet-like forehead (I've done it). Did I discover that? I've never seen a video about something like this...
@otakughost It let's you climb on him for a while then kicks you off. It doesn't matter which parts I think, the wings or the body, you still get thrown off. In the game Phalanx flies down into the sand so you can't stay on it, but here I can, so it kicks Wander off. Same when I ride it under the sand or way up in the sky, you can hang on for a while then get thrown to your death!
Nomad is knows as "The butcher of Shadow of the colossus". He hacks the game to kingdom come, which was considered "Butchering the game" by Ueda (The developer.) In short, Nomad hax.
@Nomad0168 Huh? But you can use Agro to launch yourself onto Phalanx and hang on when he's emerging from the sand for the second time (/first time he emerges after the initial cutscene) without deflating the sacks.
para os fans brasileiros que estão aqui, estou traduzindo um outro comentario vcs ja perceberão o quão pequenos são os olhos do phalanx com a propoção do seu corpo, então, é triste pensa que quando o wander começa a bater no phalanx, o phalanx nem sabe porque estar sentindo dor, ou porque morreu, é provavel que o phalanx nem viu o wander m momento algum enquanto ele estava na arena, isso pode ser um dos motivos de phalanx ser tão pacifico, ele nem ver o wander durante a batalha, e mesmo se visse, não poderia fazer nada contra o wander, alem de entrar na areia, porque como ele ia ataca vc, eu so imagino ele se jogando em vc....mas é triste saber que o Phalanx é um dos colossos mais indefesos do jogo
@Nomad0168 Yep, you can. The only thing you have to be careful of when trying to jump on when he's emerging is that small area around him that will knock Agro down if you get too close. You have to ride as far as you can and then at the last second jump. If you time it right to land on the fur and hang on you can ride him right on up into the sky. His sacks will still be glowing.
@otakughost Yeah, the game thinks you are trying to walk on Phalanx when it is floating around in the sky (i.e. when it's air bags are full). You are only permitted to climb on Phalanx after it's air bags are deflated - so it throws you off. The same happens with Dirge if you try to climb on it when it's moving around in the sand as you can only climb it after it has crashed into a wall.
@pocketmarrow Oh, hmmm - I didn't know that... that's strange 'cause if I just moon jump up onto it without shooting it's air bags I get tossed off after a while. Can you stay there until it goes back into the sand after you have Agro launched onto it? I'll have to try some things and work out exactly what the rules are.
Team Ico paid so much attention to detail that, even from a different perspective, the Colossus' fall retained its magic. Hell, I thought Phalanx was gonna land on top of Wander!
And so an Era has ended. So often do we blame the ranks of God and King, that we do not see the value, integrity, and just of the Mighty. An Era has ended, and will never return.
@FFVIIBertoldiBrasil I always wondered about that third eye... like it has one eye on one side and two on the other. I thought once if you take out one eye so it only has two something might happen (of course I should have tested it in flight - not lying dead on the ground xD).
Oh, right. I remember trying to grab onto Dirge without having him crash into a wall and I'd always get hurt. Something's off though. Why only the head and the front wings, and not the rest of the body? You are able to kill him without touching those parts (assuming you could get on top of him without deflating his air bags), so why are they the only parts that project you away. Any idea Nomad?
Diálogo entre Phalanx e dirge: Dirge🐸:Eu sou bem melhor do que você! Phalanx:Por quê? Eu, assim como você,posso entrar na terra, além de voar. E outra... eu não sou tão medonho! Dirge🐸:😪
phalanx:lalala *get heart attack* wonder:*SHOOT* PHALANX:WONDER I NEED REST SO STOP OTHER COLOSSUS:*COME TO PHALANX* PHALANX! DON'T DEATH! MALUS:*CALL COLOSSUS HOSPITAL* *AND NOW COLOSSUS HOSPITALCOMING* DOCTOR COLOSSUS:WHAT HAPPEN? MALUS:PHALANX GET HEART ATTACK
Phalanx will be the favourite child in SOTC fans no matter what. And we're all monsters as result of murdering with cold blood. Folks, THIS is why we go to hell. See you there.
So you activated its death scene animation, walked up to it and screwed around with it to see what would happen. Interesting. Although, really, it is genuinely interesting 🤔 it has a lot of weird physics exploits. Like, when you touch the bottom of its wing, you fly off like you would if it was flying in the air still. Huh. Weird. Quite intriguing actually 🤔 👀 👌
Phalanx: "Maybe if I play dead then he'll leave me alone."
poor Phalanx
It’s a good thing cuz a colossus can hurt u for no reason
Oh right, Phalanx was an innocent colossus.
4:24 It seems that killing Phalanx is even more complicated when he is dead than when he is alive
EXACTLLLYYY!
0:54 Agro: OH SHOOT THE MUSIC IS PLAYING I GOTTA GO I'M COMING WAAAAAAANNNNDDDERR!

Damn ,that was deep.
Thanks, I needed these tears
no weeb
Erase that man, that's too sad.
Beautifully said, and very sad indeed. Poor beast.
Phalanx: **Flying around** ...I FORGOT MY PILLS- **Heart Attack**
lol
C mamut
lol
he doesn't even have a mouth tho
The way Phalanx flaps its wings while its falling makes me really sad :( like its trying to stay up in the air.
Caleb Corley even though it dosent help because those only stabilize him
Does anyone else find it kinda sad when a colossus dies?
Yes.
what lore?
+ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
who are you
+ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ
WHO TF ARE YOU
YES......
Phalanx: **Heart Attack**. Wonder: **Shoots**. Phalanx: Give me a sec I'm resting.
3:24 No. 3:37 NO! 3:53 Don't touch me! 4:12 What did I say human! 4:25 GET OFF ME HUMAN!!!
SOTC fans , a theory . Have you ever noticed when clicking select the map pops up in a distinct way . As if it's zooming from the ground up , almost as if Dormin is watching every move you make . when you die and the eerie music starts almost as if Dormin is upset ?
Well, dormin does go inside us...
Isn't that how it always pop up?
Hmmm. Could be! Very interesting thought 🤔

All for one meager Human who is already DEAD. Seriously, if that doesn't scream "HEARTLESS FUCKING VILLAIN", then I don't know what does.
PHWGaming exactly how it felt to me, Phalanx didn't even try to attack you once...
PHWGaming Yup. That's the point.
PHWGaming I never saw Wander as a villain really. I think he was blinded by love (or whatever it was he felt for Mono), and thought he was doing a good thing. And by this point in the game, I think his sanity was already leaving him, so he wouldn't have stopped to think, "Hey, maybe thing ain't the best idea."
That does make sense... Hah! Humans and their emotions, always clouding their judgement.
Well. if you think about it, Phalanx is part of Dormin.
4:24 ULTRA COMBOOOOOO......PHALANX WINS
Agro just falls randomly every 5 seconds xD
This is like fighting a dead beached whale
wait till it explodes
I never felt bad for any of the colossi...
...except Phally over here.
The WubMeister Phalanx is where you realize you're the villain, if you ask me.
Phalanx was my first colossus ever so this hits me where it hurts.
However, Cenobia and Malus are definitely evil.
The WubMeister Don't forget Dirge
Dat stare is evil! 8D
I felt bad for action. He literally doesn't attack you?
WHAT about Avion? He's minding his own business and then you attack him.
4:15 Agro falling is too funny XD 4:24 is also just too good lol XDDD
Agro: Wander, I Don't Wanna Go Fight The----
Wander: *Punches Agro* DO AS I COMMAND!!
The Fact Wonder Is Tripping Over The Little Edge Lines On His Wings When He Is Dead, And Not Trip Over Them When Phalanx Is In The Air, Just Shows Wander Has Problems
Very interesting how the idle model retains some of its functions. When Phalanx's fin sent Wander flying I almost busted out laughing. XD
While Phalanx is alive, it will always fly ahead without stop. So devs decided to make his fins permanently damaging (because in a real battle they will hit you on a huge speed).
0:52 agro hears the music. What!?!? the battle's still going!?!? i gotta go get my stuff!
Holy crap! I have never heard it scream like that! This is one of the saddest deaths I’ve seen but that scream just makes it so much worse! Really interesting video!
Phalanx: *dead*
The music: oh its time to get funky
isn't it crazy that the developers intended for the colossi to 2 TIMES AS BIG as they were in the full game! pretty insane to me would have cause so much lag though! XD
THEN WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE MAKE A VIDEO OF JUST WATCHING IT FLY AROUND FOR AN HOUR WHILE PLAYING OR LISTENING TO FITTING MUSIC
steps on dead animal
*BOSS MUSIC STARTS*
I've tried and failed many times to climb onto phalanx's nose horn while it's flying, has anyone been able to do this? The view from there would be sweet
Phalanx falling right in front of you... pretty impressive. Actually much more impressive fall than in the game
I....feel really bad after watching this...I don't think I'll be slaying anymore colossi
**Wander climbs on the phalanx**
Soundtrack: **Violin intensifies**
3:39 radioactive wing
I kinda felt sad everytime i killed a colossus... was i the only one?
btw this is the best game created imo. still trying to get my hands on ICO tho... never played it but always wanted to ;___;
Andreas Johansen Get the HD collection
Has both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus
Luvias I know D: but i dont have a ps3 :S really hope they make it for ps4 x)
They just announced at e3 the last guardian, the last one in the series. :D
Andreas Johansen Check JJGames.com they have PS2 games for CHEAP! Well... most of them.
+Manel Miquelino the LAST?!? WTF NOOOO
This is exactly why you DO NOT give a giant monster thing a resurrection potion kids. It will lie there, half dead half alive. Kill it again, and again. Do it forever if you want. I don't care really, its your life anyway.
wtf man
i love how the music kicks in after you clim on it
I like how the music starts playing and Agro starts running around
Nomad, did you know there's a way to stand in Phalanx face in flight during battle? With no hacking and some skill you can manage to jump to the place in front of it's helmet-like forehead (I've done it). Did I discover that? I've never seen a video about something like this...

Same when I ride it under the sand or way up in the sky, you can hang on for a while then get thrown to your death!
4:10 Did he die?
The thing passed out at the sight of wander. Poor bastard.
How is this possible? Not falling over after the tendrils go into Wander?
Nomad is knows as "The butcher of Shadow of the colossus". He hacks the game to kingdom come, which was considered "Butchering the game" by Ueda (The developer.)
In short, Nomad hax.
@Nomad0168 Huh? But you can use Agro to launch yourself onto Phalanx and hang on when he's emerging from the sand for the second time (/first time he emerges after the initial cutscene) without deflating the sacks.
para os fans brasileiros que estão aqui, estou traduzindo um outro comentario
vcs ja perceberão o quão pequenos são os olhos do phalanx com a propoção do seu corpo, então, é triste pensa que quando o wander começa a bater no phalanx, o phalanx nem sabe porque estar sentindo dor, ou porque morreu, é provavel que o phalanx nem viu o wander m momento algum enquanto ele estava na arena, isso pode ser um dos motivos de phalanx ser tão pacifico, ele nem ver o wander durante a batalha, e mesmo se visse, não poderia fazer nada contra o wander, alem de entrar na areia, porque como ele ia ataca vc, eu so imagino ele se jogando em vc....mas é triste saber que o Phalanx é um dos colossos mais indefesos do jogo

Watching phalanx die from that angle makes it more upsetting

When i see phalanx i sayed "WHATS GOING ON?!?!" Xd
The most epic teabag.
Majestic music intensifies
Phalanx lying on the ground
So you get projected backwards if you touch it's nose or it's front wings? Quite strange.
Is it just me, or is phalanx slightly smaller when dead
That fall was absolutely epic.
Team Ico paid so much attention to detail that, even from a different perspective, the Colossus' fall retained its magic. Hell, I thought Phalanx was gonna land on top of Wander!
4:30 THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR STABBING MY EYE, BIATCH!
i wonder if phalanx attack you caus i tried to see but does not attack you?
do the dead colosi stay there for ever?
Grunzerino yes they turn into rubble
Phalanx + sword in you eye = phalanx dead
Phalanx: AH SHIT HEART ATTACK
what happens if you it twice???
Devilshooter125 M The game freezes!
+Nomad Colossus How do you use the kill code?!
And so an Era has ended. So often do we blame the ranks of God and King, that we do not see the value, integrity, and just of the Mighty. An Era has ended, and will never return.
Phalanx falls like Handsome Squidward.
0:54 Phalanx: I'AM ALIVE BITCH!!
@FFVIIBertoldiBrasil I always wondered about that third eye... like it has one eye on one side and two on the other. I thought once if you take out one eye so it only has two something might happen (of course I should have tested it in flight - not lying dead on the ground xD).
most epic battle
OMG THE THING JUST DIED IN THE BEGINNING BY LOOKIN AT YOU
@PikolUploader Which video?
Oh, right. I remember trying to grab onto Dirge without having him crash into a wall and I'd always get hurt.
Something's off though. Why only the head and the front wings, and not the rest of the body? You are able to kill him without touching those parts (assuming you could get on top of him without deflating his air bags), so why are they the only parts that project you away. Any idea Nomad?
imagine killing phalanx twice lol.
4:19 oh shit poor Agro! XD
Nomad is the master thief of SoC
Why you used a mod to see Phalanx dead? You can do this in the game going back to his arena '-'.
qual é o codigo pra isso?
Seeing him died thier looks like if its a big inflected monster like the last of us its kinda scary
what is the code for it
i really hate to kill phalanx he does nothing to you
In the beta, phalanx use a underground spear on his weak point.
@xltiagozim It's not a code really, but a memory address.
is this really phalanx
Yes.
00:54 *Starts climbing dead, unmoving, harmless colossus... TAM TAM TARARARARAAM TATAARARARAAAM
You've already killed a peaceful, majestic creature, why must you desecrate it's remains?
My favorite colossus
Diálogo entre Phalanx e dirge:

Phalanx:Por quê? Eu, assim como você,posso entrar na terra, além de voar. E outra... eu não sou tão medonho!

how did you do that
I forgot, does it even attack Wander?
It can hit you with its fins, but not purposefully
phalanx:lalala *get heart attack*
wonder:*SHOOT*
PHALANX:WONDER I NEED REST SO STOP
OTHER COLOSSUS:*COME TO PHALANX* PHALANX! DON'T DEATH!
MALUS:*CALL COLOSSUS HOSPITAL*
*AND NOW COLOSSUS HOSPITALCOMING*
DOCTOR COLOSSUS:WHAT HAPPEN?
MALUS:PHALANX GET HEART ATTACK
@PikolUploader Oh yeah, I remember that one! Epic video ; )
Phalanx playing dead.
Phalanx will be the favourite child in SOTC fans no matter what. And we're all monsters as result of murdering with cold blood. Folks, THIS is why we go to hell. See you there.
TIL phalanx is a flounder
I regret to kill phalanx
4:23 ouch
how do you used the "kill code" ? i'm brazilian so sorry about my english
I just saw this reply and now I'm craving nachos... Whoa man, where's the cheese at?
So you activated its death scene animation, walked up to it and screwed around with it to see what would happen. Interesting. Although, really, it is genuinely interesting 🤔 it has a lot of weird physics exploits. Like, when you touch the bottom of its wing, you fly off like you would if it was flying in the air still. Huh.

Why in the eye?! :( Great video! Congratulations!!
3:36 forward is his spirit getting a revenge
my favorite collesi
lol the tendrils go through you but your like:i dont give a fuck xD
3:58 Agro it's you Ok? :P
4:24 super combo

i wonder why is still the horse running around. XD
WAIT PHALANX IS IMMORTAL RUUUUNNNN
