Shadow of the Colossus - Odds & ends (part 5)

[@Flama741]

I can't help but smile every time I see a video of yours. This level of passion for a game is awesome, keep it up.

[@NomadColossus]

Thanks ; )

[@spaghetticode1622]

Yea... I also love this game so much. There are times when i forget about this game.. but your videos always remind me the excitement when i played this amazing game. There is nothing like this game.

[@XaneMyers]

The baby colossus...it's kinda funny seeing it move after it's awakened!

[@Puudelimorso]

After all this glitching, Wander must have gone through some tough times.

[@HelderCH]

I'm happy to see a new Odds & Ends episode,they feel like a modern reincarnation of Pikol's videos,and I'm saying that in the best way possible,the ''what am I going to see now?'' feeling also makes them even better. My favourite part was the exploration of the Argus mountains,final borders of the world,the more you look at them the more majestic they become,and great work with that panorama. By the way,the animal loving community won't be too happy about what you did at 18:02

[@NomadColossus]

Thanks! Pikol is the master and I think my videos are in homage to his ; )

[@Sir_Steelix208]

Seems like Micro Phaedra took lessons from the Ministry of Silly Walks

[@NomadColossus]

xD

[@princepixel1]

really nice shot + the music at 28:00 , plus awesome vid as always nomad

[@parasol1097]

Huh...Wanders descent that sounds like a good name for DLC

[@fannynearfyi789]

17:36 The best story I've ever seen, better than twilight

[@Armidillodude]

Very cool video, also I'm surprised that nowhere on the internet have I see a compilation of all the Colossus game over screens

[@terrariapotato6670]

Thanks Nomad your the only person I watch for shadow of the collosus because your the only knew that tells the truth doesn't troll and goes over everything there is thanks alot

[@colbykraus233]

So glad you we're able to muster another video, it must be tough finding this stuff. great work.

[@tcholloventura]

Amazing as always! I think the sword points high up on Malus because of the position you were before flying to it's high(level). The game keeps the coordinates for the sword(on were is Malus) as it was as you were in the low bridge(Idk why it works this way, apparently only on his arena...is it the high of the place?). I wonder what you mean when you said you could find all colossi before trigger them except for Malus... ...I can see him "turned off" if I do the same you just did, but then I need to do a quick step on the floor(level) just below the one Malus is in(so he can appear turned off). That mess up with Phaedra was something to laugh! XD Dude you just killed the Pony Phaedra! You're a cold killer bro... ...MLP fans will get you for that. XD Shadow of the Colossus Bugs/Glitchs: Visitando Malus

[@NomadColossus]

I mean I can see all of the other colossi before you fight them suspended under the ground, or behind a wall etc. Only Malus is invisible before the fight. It seems the storm activates it, otherwise there is no way to see it before the fight, unlike the other 15 colossi.

[@dran6542]

Nomad Colossus intresting take but what about the cutscene does that need to be trigered

[@tcholloventura]

Nomad Colossus "The storm activates it." Straight to the point. ^ ^ Ok(this is gona be hard to explain but here goes), correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see much difference between him (Malus) and the other colossi, because they all need us to step at some point of the terrain (trigger boxes) so they can appear(even if switched off). The same goes for Malus. The big difference is that Malus is in open field and apparently(you know more than I do at this point ...) he is one of the few colossi that "load" directly on the "right spot"(not outside the bounds of scenery as many others do). And, you're still a cold killer XD

[@NomadColossus]

Tchollo Ventura The trigger point for Malus is the storm activating. So as soon as Wander is climbing up the steps leading to the colossus you see it start raining and storming, this is when Malus appears. But I want to see it before this happens and it's not possible as far as I know, He must be invisible until the storm activates, otherwise I would be able to find him.

[@tcholloventura]

Nomad Colossus I understand that(in fact i know it)^^ the trigger box works for both the rain and Malus. Are you saying you can find the other colossi without steeping on the trigger boxes on the arenas?Oo If yes, that's nuts! XD I did not know that's possible...

[@Gaminating]

I noticed something else when I was playing the HD version on PS3. I went into the one area you weren't supposed to see by getting up that hill with Agro right next to the HUGE gap of geography by cutting through the forest. It is sorta by Valus' area. Once I got onto the other side, I got off Agro and a little too close to edge when Wander tripped. Repeated backflips was the only thing Wander was doing while falling to his death. Except the camera didn't zoom out even when he the river. I could clearly see him up close with the normal camera angle.

[@NomadColossus]

Could you upload a video of this? I'd be interested to see exactly where you are talking about. I think I know where you mean, but maybe you have found a different area?

[@Gaminating]

I'll see what I can do

[@DahakePL]

EVERY Nomad video is just superb awesomeness, I LOVE IT

[@Noodlemonkey7]

I have Always LOVED! Your videos. I was Noodlemoney6 and I loved watching and commenting on your stuff. Good work as always!!!

[@MrGhostQ8]

amazing man , love that ur making these videos again

[@Wormy0172]

I'm thinking that the light directs to where #16's model is created from, like from where it is emitted when the cutscene starts. I'd also love to see a video of all the mini collosi. Freakin' epic work for the billionth time, Nomad.

[@ufosubject6494]

Amazing video, man, you're the best SOTC hacker out there for sure. Though i still love Pikol However, i don't think Argus could fit in that cave

[@Fries101Reviews]

I Wish that they make a Sequel to Shadow of the Colossus that had those colossi that they got rid off in the final project of SotC

[@Fries101Reviews]

I'm Talking about Shadow of the Colossus 2 which everyone wants a sequel

[@adrilu240]

Great work as always! All of this was really, really interesting :) thank you for work and time, I appreciate it every time you upload something. Greetings

[@dran6542]

This was a great video hopefully you keep making stuff you really are an expert

[@MrShaw64]

I'm not too sur of the name, but you remember the boss that was scared of the fire (it was the smallest enemy in the game and acted like a bull)? try doubling/quadrupling it's size. it would look so cool bossing around a giant colossi with just a stick.

[@ViolacTrough]

It would be the closest we get to replicating The Last Guardian. *cries into pillow*

[@Tyler_Kwak]

That colossus would be the 11th, Celosia.

[@Flama741]

He actually did that once.

[@NomadColossus]

I did this a long time ago... it's in my 'Celosia compilation video' here: Shadow of the Colossus #11 Celosia compilation (at 37:23) The quality sucks, but it's a double sizes Celosia. Note: If I make the colossi any larger they sink into the ground.

[@metagrinder]

Nomad, the sword points the weakpoint of the colossi, so if you pointed your sword up to the sky is because Malus weakpoint is in his head and he is very tall lol do you understand it?

[@NomadColossus]

Yes I do

[@fallencolossi]

lol why you sound condescending, he's been doiNg greAt and want to share with others…you on the other hand share your shitty attitude…

[@alberthetterslofn1440]

@@fallencolossi he wasn't being condescending. He is probably brazilian, SoTC is really popular in that country and a lot of Nomad's suscribers are from there. Not all of them speak English that well. So that's why he expressed himself like that

[@spedanger1329]

The way mini 4 died was funny because it was so overdramatic for such a small creature😂

[@KHDDCraft]

What if equipping the Shaman's Mask didn't cause a glitch, but an alternate reality where the only reason Emon and his troops followed you to the shrine was because he stole his mask?( Very unlikely though, considering that Mono was brought to the shrine and stuff regarding the actual story is still there, just a thought.) :P

[@antarctican_immagrants6849]

Micro Phaedra is so funny. Hahahahaha

[@Axesmed]

Baby Phaedra is the cutest thing ever

[@apen2502]

18:33 when your legs don’t work like they used to before

[@EliteY33t2]

I hate fighting No.12 because one time it was standing on the stone thing, and then he shot me then I was on the edge then when I hit the water I fell straight to the bottom, needless to say I was scared shitless

[@briedeets8011]

That moment when you make Phaedra the size of Agro.

[@adamnapolitano432]

Hows the First Person re-build of the Shadow of the Colossus world coming along?

[@patrick22014]

Best youtuber ever. I hope you read my comments in your other vids.

[@Morlun91]

I think the beacon shines in the direction of a point which makes it have the right angle when you have to activate the door. That's why when you are in the arena without activating the door it points south. Get it? You say you can find any colossus before it gets activated but where do you find Avion or Dirge or even Argus? I thought almost all of them appeared during the cutscenes

[@NomadColossus]

Morlun91 I'll make a video to show you soon.

[@cybrid37]

+Nomad Colossus Have you uploaded that video yet? I'm kinda curious. Love your vids, btw.

[@burdy2959]

I just noticed while he was free falling one of the mountains look like a lizard and its upper body

[@tresrules16543]

12:25 At least we know where Argus comes from before the fight starts.

[@andreutas]

Congrats on the GT Episode!!

[@andreutas]

Was actually thinking of you when i heard they were making a Pop Fiction on SOTC :)

[@NomadColossus]

André Utas Thanks ; ) Michael sent me the script as a Word doc and I made some changes (though not many as it was already a solid piece of work). I thought the video was great, weird hearing my name mentioned though xD.

[@tsukiahtamru1714]

Wait, did you pet Agro? At like, 2:09 or maybe a little before/after 0-0 how!?

[@Logos729]

hold nothing, walk up. and press circle. you can do the same thing while riding agro as well.

[@shanedaman112]

I would really love if you made of video about scaling colossi and the effects it has. I think it would be absolutely awesome myself and I loved seeing you change phaedra like that =D

[@NomadColossus]

shanedaman112 I have already scaled #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, #11, #12, #13 and #14 in my older videos. Can't scale Malus as there are too many models to find the scale values for - it would take forever. Granted, my older videos are terrible quality but you can still watch them in 480p resolution. Most are in my 'Modding XX' videos - XX denoting the colossus name - i.e. Quadratus etc. All my older videos are listed in this blog post: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/shadow-of-colossus-videos.html

[@kerplop]

I noticed the Shaman's Mask thing too. I just assumed there was only one mask in the world, and somehow Dormin pilfered it... or maybe it was a reward to show Emon's face... Does the same thing happen with his robes if you're wearing the Shaman's Cloak?

[@NomadColossus]

I think it's a glitch as you don't see Emon's lips moves when he says 'Only a little more to go' which suggests he was supposed to have the Shaman's mask covering his face. In the final cut scene you see his lips move when he speaks.

[@Possessed2Skate97]

Have you ever thought that when you are Dormin in the end, you can possibly beat the guards to the sword by turning left and crouching. Because i know you can crouch as dormin. It is just a theory of mine, but i think that during the cutscene before you play the game emphasizes the sword in hopes of you trying to get it when you do play. Also when the guards grab the sword it deliberately shows you that they did take it possibly showing that you can possibly beat them to it. What do you think?

[@casualbird7671]

Can there just be a video for all the secret things that one would think was ignored but the developers actually planned for? Like little quips and events that can easily go un-noticed for a first time player- I have heard there are hundreds of the things but have never seen them all rounded together, only bits here and there across the entirety of KZbin.

[@Gaminating]

Nice vid Nomad! Also I have a question. At 4:36 there is that flat strip of land. If you headed towards the spot with the line connecting to it (which is another bridge) you will eventually see the Spiders area. Although I think you may have done it before lol

[@NomadColossus]

That flat strip of land you mentioned is a low res 2D texture put there to act as a backdrop of mountains. Early on, players thought this was the castle from ICO, but this idea has since been debunked, as has most of the early rumors about this game. The Spider's lair has been deleted in this version and if it existed beyond the Entrance temple (which is just speculation) there is no evidence of it in the game today. Beyond the Entrance temple is just a low res bridge, some bushes and empty void, nothing else.

[@dran6542]

The sword and the maqsk are both scared relic in the end it says "not only did you go to the forbidden land but you stole the ancient sword" maybe he stole both

[@joaomarcosilvabastos]

Finally a new video!

[@kideiji58]

Nice work once again Nomad :D omg that 15's temple.. And I'm pretty sure that I've been comment on someone video about track-like and cave underneath 15's area about my assumtion if thats a path to where we must pass through to get to the dam.. And what if that cave bellow 15's area isn't 15's lair purpose, but it's a path-cave-like connect with a cave near the dam? (again sorry for my english) :( .. I'm really big fan of your work! :D And thanks for that beautiful ending at the end :D

[@NumberOneHouseLover]

Does anyone else notice how much 4 looks like 12, it's a little bit weird...

[@dran6542]

it does point to malus to his head but hes not there an it changes direction because you whent behind him

[@jinosakru2253]

18:21 Me purposely stomping on the 2nd floor to bug everyone below

[@ValentineC137]

Can you also change the size of #13?

[@HyperHardHead]

I missed you ♥

[@leon9021]

Great nomad, as always. Is it possible to get that panorama picture you showed in the end? Maybe that would be something to hang on a wall :)

[@NomadColossus]

Southern lands panorama image: www.flickr.com/photos/nomadcolossus/14433715890/ E5 forest panorama image: www.flickr.com/photos/nomadcolossus/14617161821/in/photostream/ I was going to add the forest panorama instead, but preferred the southern lands image more ; )

[@leon9021]

Nomad Colossus Oh the forest sound like it would be really cool to have in panorama with the save shrine and all. Lovely atmosphere. Are you sure you couldn't make that for the next video? Id definitely hang a pic picture of that on my wall ;)

[@leon9021]

Nomad Colossus Oh sorry, I missread :P

[@HyperHardHead]

Nomad Colossus Ooooh, is there one of the desert with phalanx in it? I ADORE that colossus :3

[@Valus_Oficial]

This video you did was very epic WHAT just left me puzzled was the middle part of the 15th and the invisible Malus, and where is that cave Argus before the battle?

[@NomadColossus]

See comment below and my video response

[@TayDude]

Hold on, is this Phaedra larger than the normal Phaedra? And if so, is it possible to upscale/downscale other colossi? (I.E. a "baby" Valus) Edit: Yeah, it's bigger. Still, can you do this to other colossi?

[@Logos729]

still am amazed by the polygon count for a PS2 game.

[@jahovajackson]

I appreciate the content.

[@MarcBrightside]

When you were falling, the black tendrils hit you in mid-air but didn't trigger the cutscene until you hit the ground. What would happen if you fell into a chasm - would you just go to the game over screen like normal?

[@NomadColossus]

I think you would just keep falling and nothing would happen. It's only when Wander falls down next to Valus that the game resets back to where it was. As I said, nothing you can do (even via hacking) can change Wander's fate.

[@followedbyshadows3102]

Awww The "baby" Phaedra was so cute and tiny. :3 I would have felt bad killing it too. Then I saw the maximum size compared to the micro size. Holy Fudge...... Oh and can you try and make a video with all of the micro and maximum size colossi. Thanks

[@NomadColossus]

Note: I can make Phaedra even bigger but it sinks into the ground and bobs up and down, so it looks ridiculous! So I meant I scaled it up to its maximum size that still allowed it to walk around and act normally.

[@followedbyshadows3102]

Nomad Colossus Oh well um could you try a video with micro colossi. This is just a suggestion and I hope you do make a video with the mini colossi :) Imagine a baby Quadratus or Phalanx.........xD

[@Julius_Strife]

What if you had teleported wander to the temple after the colossi dies

[@ShogunTheMage]

Awesome video! Do you know if there's more information of Phoenix? I really liked that cancelled Colossi.

[@NomadColossus]

All we have is from the official art book which Glitterberri translated, everything we know about the discarded colossi is in my blog post: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/unusedbeta-colossi.html

[@10bit15]

I would love to see the other colossi mini, like Phalanx, or Avion

[@NomadColossus]

Mini Avion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpDQdaWDlrqfnc0#t=2368 (quality is so good on this one) Mini Phalanx: Shadow of the Colossus - Phalanx trail drifter

[@10bit15]

:o!! Thanks, I didn't expect an answer

[@dran6542]

28:00 it makes you think your favorite game and there not gonna make a sequel i have hope for last guardian but i mean thats gonna be like icco not shadow it's weird and sad to think that such a beautiful and graceful game is over well theres always time trials also you relize just how much it ment to you if your playing it after like 7 years and how cool it is that theres still things being discovered

[@marciorodrigo5523]

pq sera que quando malus nao esta em sua arena a espada aponta pro ceu sera ke poderia antes haver um colossus ali

[@joaomarcosilvabastos]

Pergunte isso em inglês.

[@dran6542]

is it possible to see #15 in his cave or does it skip to the climbing cutsene

[@NomadColossus]

He starts in a frozen pose hanging on the cliff wall, see video here: Shadow of the Colossus #15 Argus compilation So he is never seen in the cave, although we can assume he crawled out of this? It's not clear why the cave is there as it plays no role in the game and you can't get to it or even see it that well... so yet another mystery!

[@dran6542]

Thanks very helpful

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

lol tiny horse

[@durmondspence2764]

Nomad if you were allowed to make shadow of colossus 2 how much coloosi will you put on the game and allowed to make colousi write a reply

[@NomadColossus]

I would like to see the original 24 colossi, I think any more would be too much. 16 seems not enough, but 8 more would have been perfect I think. So the original vision for the game was spot on.

[@yisaku13]

Nice intro

[@dran6542]

Nomad whats your take on the 8 unused collosos and what about that there was orignally gonna be (corect me if im wrong) 50

[@NomadColossus]

It was 48 originally, then 24, then we ended up with 16. If I had my wish I would have asked for the original 24 as the 8 discarded colossi were well developed before they were scrapped.

[@dran6542]

yes most of them seemed to be scraped for land peposes or because they were so hard

[@grifoManchannel]

you play this in ps3?

[@frandibe8155]

Are you going to make "Odds & ends part 6"?

[@NomadColossus]

Maybe... might take a while though...

[@frandibe8155]

ok. I love "Odds & Ends Saga"! Greetings.

I WANT A BABY PHAEDRA ITS SO CUTE

[@danielbutterworth1973]

RIP baby Phaedra This made me curious on college reproduction I think vallus, barba and argus give birth to live young baseran defenetly lays eggs but Phaedra i think that there was only one baby I think Phaedra just give birth to live young also

[@danielbutterworth1973]

The autocorrect is horrible I typed colossus and it auto directed it to collage

[@dran6542]

26:04 ehhh

[@dran6542]

is 17:40 real it makes no sense and looks like editing but your the expert not me

[@NomadColossus]

No video editing - I just scaled Phaedra down to a small size. Its normal value is 1.5 (x,y,z) so I scaled it down to 0.3 scale which makes it about the size of Agro, any smaller and it didn't work as well. I also had to find the scale values for its chains as they are separate models, but once I had all three, i.e. the two chains and the body I can scale the colossus down or up as I please. So I made a story out of it about a baby and its mother. Of course it was the same colossus, just viewed in different scales.

[@dran6542]

Well thats cool so the end you showed the cutscene of it dying at lowest scale

[@JeffMasttershadowofthecolossus]

Nomad o melhor
