Shadow of the Colossus - Cenobia at Stonehenge

[@tpmmpt]

There’s something about the introduction to this video that grabs my soul. It highlights the little touches of architecture and sound design that the programmers put into this game. For those quick minutes, it wasn’t just a level in a game, it was a slice of history that I was lucky to be given the opportunity to study. Shadow was a special game, and Nomad is the special person who opened my eyes to it.

[@NomadColossus]

Two dislikes already! Nomad has enemies!

[@Aziz-wi8pm]

Who the hell dislikes a Nomad video lol. Keep the good work bro!

[@kamina_Sea_You_Again]

Dormin and Sirius disliked this for taking his would be fight area.

[@borjadiaz7884]

2 people can beat all the colossus without a guide xD

[@Pinkooru]

Probably the long intro.

[@sinbad_sama1693]

XD

[@speedymcwheely]

Can't wait to see the remake. I just wish they would add the cut colossi, even if they were in a separate challenge mode or level that is non canon.

[@NomadColossus]

Me too, all I've ever wanted is to see some footage of the discarded colossi, or even some more images. To be able to actually play them would probably give me a heart attack xD!

[@r.m.2598]

Nomad Colossus have you read the stragedy guide there is some pictures about abandonned colossis.

[@NomadColossus]

Are you kidding?

[@NomadColossus]

Yes, of course - its all revealed in my blog post: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/unusedbeta-colossi.html

[@NomadColossus]

Jake: The only reason they didn't add the 8 discarded colossi was due to deadlines and programming issues. It seems you are arguing with the source of your information! Where did you learn these facts might I ask?

[@SuperAllanAguiar]

Nomad really is the master in this game. I could never imagine it would be possible to remove Cenobia from its arena. If I could, I would double like this video. Nomad deserves all “likes” possible.

[@Aveziel]

Amazing to hear the eerie stomps and noises Cenobia makes slowly making its way through the quiet land, not being bombarded by the amazing battle music but instead just quiet winds and the stomps of the powerful, muscular, brute lion colossus known as Cenobia.

Aww the way Cenobia runs freely around is so cute.

[@rosiemymelody]

cenobia is so cute peacefully running around in an open field it feels like he's just chillin and havin some small fun i love him :)

[@lucasfraczek4320]

Makes me wonder how he'd interact with Celosia and Sirius. They're pretty much the same Colossus, albeit a tiger (Celosia), a lion (Cenobia), and a boar (Sirius), you'd think they'd run around the fields and play fight like siblings?

[@rosiemymelody]

@@lucasfraczek4320 that's a cute idea, ig it's fun to think about it but even if that would 90% not happen if you tried reproducing that idea, they're certainly not programmed to walk, run and sit on the same spots, so it might be interesting to watch they do wathever together in a big spot, even if nothing big happens

[@lucasfraczek4320]

@@rosiemymelody Oh no I mean like a "what-if in-the-lore" scenario without Wander coming to kill them all lol.

[@rosiemymelody]

@@lucasfraczek4320 i get it, really! that's why i thought it was cute-- in that scenario, sirius is like, two times their size so he's like a father figure or something

The fact that you’re STILL finding things to do with this game even though it’s been out for so damn long is astounding. Keep it up.

That was a beautiful intro Nomad. Truly something else what you are doing with this game. Appreciate your work and dedication as always. I wish there was more recognition to give to ya. Seeing Cenobia run free kinda makes you wonder what it would of been like to fight Sirius. Without any boundaries it might of been more tense!

[@autumnforest6727]

Awesome video, Nomad! I can definitely see all the work you put into this :)

[@stanyedwardanthony9883]

Awesome..... Please make more videos like this. With different colossi... And I'm really interested in the unused 8 colossus. Without ur videos, we couldn't even know about them... Fumito Ueda is awesome, as well as you. He gave us the game and u gave it's secrets 😍

[@thefinisher6303]

This is a valid example of the colossi’s lives before you came along.

[@fannynearfyi789]

Now that I think it better. Cenobia moves like a feline

[@Logos729]

Yeah, I've always thought of celosia as a boar and cenobia as a lion.

[@deppebhdeppebh9122]

Man this is incredible, Thank you so much for letting us see this wonderful video, It's amazing to see Cenobia run in places that is not supposed to be. I have a few questions and if you or someone could answer I'll be very grateful. 1. Can it go to more places than G7? 2. Does it have an animation of a attack or something for when there's no one to attack? Like wander that swings his sword or something like that. 3. Does Cenobia run as fast as Agro? Or does Cenobia run faster than Agro? And last one: Can you do all this with the other ones? I would love to see it! That's all! Thank you for reading me and I'm sorry if my english is bad.

[@NomadColossus]

Answers: 1) Technically I can put Cenobia (or any other colossus) in any other place in the forbidden lands - or even outside the world map 2) Yes, it still maintains all it's normal movements (animations) no matter where it is 3) Agro runs much faster than Cenobia, check out this video of Cenobia and Agro 'walking'. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmmThnWweNysnNE#t=9m37s) Based on this, there is no doubt Agro is much faster! 4) Yes, as mentioned above I can do this for all the colossi, but it takes a lot of work - long hours over days - very hard to do. But the results are worth it. These videos are a testament to all the hard work I have put into this game - and I hope they last for a long time ; )

Great video as always nomad. I always thought that Sirius was indeed quite bigger than both cenobia and celosia. By the way, Sony will go to PGW2017 and host an event there. And I think there's a possibility for a Brand New SOTC Remake Trailer (PGW2017 Will happen on Oct 30) For the Next trailer, What would you Like to see?

2020 and i still asking myself: why they delete the colossus but keep the arena, and keep it inaccessible?

[@SonsyRock]

2021 and i think is might be a forget to delet problem. Or they simple dont want to discard the work has being done in the arena. Or maybe delete that specific part of The scenario may crash some functionaly... I dont know man, differents times, differents tools and also different ways of thinking in development games.

is this a Discarded Colossi Reference Because it remind me of that colossi that was not relased and looked like cenobia and whatever he called But the Video is like Footage of the Discarded Colossi but i wanna see what other footages of them was like i wish they were added

[@RaidenStorms88]

I feel like I hear the last guardian soundtrack in here

[@leon9021]

Do you measure Wander as 1.8 meters? Compared to the Horses all human characters are really short in this game. In the medieval times I also hear its normal for people to be shorter, depending on where you are in the world. And considering this looks more medieval it would make sense.

[@NomadColossus]

In the video description you will find my blog post about the colossi sizes - there are two scales - the in game (programmed scales) and what I call the 'real world' scales, that is if the colossi were actual living creatures. The colossi sizes have also been contentious and a real pain for me to pin down. But I'm happy with these final results.

Whats happend if you do this with the bigger´s colossus? (Sorry for my bad english)

[@mouthofgoogle5948]

It'd be epic

[@maxzillagaming2458]

I wonder how you do all that, like control the colossus? Is it through mods or hacks? because if it is, you should link me to them, because I'm currently playing the emulated version and I think it would be fun to control the Colossus or teleport around freely.

[@calciferrr]

MaxZilla Gaming I believe he does it all with a memory editor and years of hard work/knowledge on this game.

[@maxzillagaming2458]

Yeah I was thinking that if that was the case then I'd never be able to replicate what he's doing, my only chance was if there was a downloadable mod or cheat that allowed you to do the same thing.

[@iamshawn9888]

Good work Nomad! Now I have a thought... Since you are able to move terrain to your own specific coordinates, maybe in order to get the game to think that G7 (Stonehenge) was C2, you could maybe somehow toggle the terrain which Cenobia fights at and move it just under the terrain at G7 and when cenobia is on top of it, the game will act as though he is still at C2 and will be able to move around that moved territory. Now I'm unsure as to how much you are able to move around, I don't know if you are able to move JUST the ground of C2's territory, but if you can, maybe it's worth a shot? I'm not sure.

[@NomadColossus]

The only thing that works (kind of) is if I move the G7 terrain landscape models to C2 (Cenobia's arena). I did this once before - I took land (ironically from G7) and moved it to E6 (Phalanx's arena) - so it looked like Wander was seeing Phalanx flying over green fields. But the problem was that the landscape doesn't match the terrain, so Wander would sink into the ground etc. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2qWoZ9riL2FhtE#t=55m15s As you can see, the problem is the collisions - If I could extract the collision data from G7 and move it to G2 (or reverse), then we would have something special - I could fight a colossus at any place in the forbidden lands. But as it is, I am limited to what I did in this video.

[@zonadogt]

[@isaacc2998]

[@kblargh]

is it controllable?

[@NomadColossus]

Yes, I'm controlling the colossus! The reason for this is because at one time (in the early stages of the game) the developers had the idea that in the 2nd play through of the game, there could be two players! One player controlling Wander and the 2nd player controlling the colossus! Sadly, this idea was never implemented in the game, yet the controls for the colossi are still there in the code... hence, I can control this colossus and make it run around as you see in this video.

Yes my friend, the colossus is fully controllable!

It would be too hard to explain... there are many steps involved, each requiring a unique knowledge of how to hack the game via using the PCSX2 emulator and a memory editor.
