SOTC | PS5 | Exploring All Dead Colossi (Exclude Malus)

[@andreasolaquesada1736]

I'll always carry SOTC on my heart. I always loved it, and it still make my heart bump. Those forbidden lands, amazing fantasy creatures, all it's lore, etc. Kinda mesmerizes me.. I just simply love it.

Same.

[@timmadone8930]

Same here. I started playing the demo in the Summer of 2005 & was already mesmerized by the first colossus & the surrounding area that you were able to explore (that includes the forest & the Secret Garden) plus the music & just the sound of the environment. I knew this was something very special even before the full game was finally released. And it feels just as awe inspiring & mysterious 18 years later.

[@empyrean7649]

I think colossi are statues made of earth, plants and rocks animated by the fragment of Dormin's soul. When you absorb the soul, the colossi simply return to earth. That's why they have those platforms for you to climb on, they were used by sculptors to shape the colossi.

[@timmadone8930]

It's obvious by the condition of the corpse that a lot of time passes in between the death of each colossus. It's quite possible that time stops for everything in the Forbidden Lands except the colossi. That could explain why the sun never changes it's position & also why only the corpse of the colossi seem to age, but Wander, Agro, & Mono don't show any signs aging.

[@artorias6321]

@@somebodyfixmyinternet that is debatable, time flows differently in the forbidden lands, for all we know, the shaman is a stranger from many years after wander left his tribe. I think personally, they were seeing the lights glow year after year and when the time came, they had to strike while the iron was hot to banish the demon during the ritual.

This is just...I don’t think I can find a word stronger than sad to describe this, just seeing all these creatures once filled with life and larger than any animal we know in real life, dead and turning into the environment itself is just...soul-crushing. Even though the Colossi were all meant to seal away parts of Dormin, you can’t help but feel bad for then since they all seemed to have their own personalities and just seemed to be enjoying life.

Just the fact you can climb on them, just the fact they have collision detection is a proof how Team ICO cares about every single part of their game. No matter if you can access the spot or not, probably will have collision detection. I think that it was the way Ueda gave us the curiosity, and opportunity to explore.

[@peace4myheart]

Was this originally available on the PS2 version or was this an addition to the game made by BluePoint in this remake? If it was also in the original PS2 version, then yes, Team ICO deserves all the credits.

[@antonioramon9102]

@@peace4myheart to be honest, I don't know. But I believe it was. There are several videos about these features in Shadow of the Colossus: spots and areas where the player can't go without a hack that have collision detection. So I believe the same happens with the colossi's corpses.

[@alielvargas]

@@peace4myheart yes, it was like this since the ps2

[@timmadone8930]

@@peace4myheart Yes, in the PS2 version you could go up to the dead body of a colossus & explore on & around it's corpse. You could do this with all 16 colossi, however to do it on the 16th colossus required hacking. In addition to exploring the lifeless bodies, the PS2 version ( as well as PS3/PS4) also allowed you to fight each dead colossus again (except colossus 16) by praying while on or next to the corpse.

[@schnek8927]

Game devs: *Does the bare minimum.* Casuals: ”They care SO MUCH!!!” Look, i like shadow of the colossus (the original anyway), but i’ll never understand why some people really do praise the most basic of aspects as ”care”. It would’ve been bizarre if they had no collision.

Anybody else notice that the ones in the water don't really float? They don't bob up and down with the movement of the water. They just stay stationary like an island even though there is nothing beneath them holding them steady

[@timmadone8930]

It's quite possible that considering the size of the colossus & the fact a good portion of it's body is made of stone, the water just isn't moving around with enough force to move the body of the colossus.

[@timmadone8930]

@goodbyesafavor Perhaps not. I mean the weight of the Titanic was more than 3 times that of a colossus & yet it floated. We have to assume these colossi are leaving beings & therefore have internal organs. Maybe the inside of a colossus has enough room for air or gasses that help keep it afloat afloat? At least that's another possible explanation. xD

[@bruceluiz]

There is no game that can make you root for the villain quite like SotC. We all know Wander is, at the very least, a neutral character with no moral qualms against releasing ancient danger into the world, yet we root for him. And in the same breath, it obliges us realize the consequences of his actions, i.e. the sad song that accompanies each of the Colossus' defeat or Wander's own body twisting into Dormin. I believe that is better illustrated in the last Colossus fight: when Wander reaches up to it's hands, it won't be initially hostile and will even stare at Wander with curiosity. Meanwhile, Wander's disfigured form is hellbent on killing it. This game will forever be a classic.

[@cameron818]

Bad Writing

[@amorpilo9666]

Because in the forbidden lands nothing dies unless Dormin says so.

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

IIRC the devs once said in an interview that time only started moving at all in the Forbidden Lands when Wander entered. Who knows how it works whenever the camera cuts away?

[@Virtualblueart]

I think the colossus were not subject to time when they contained parts of Dormin and their bodies experienced all of that accumulated time in just hours after Wander absorbed Dormins essence from them.

[@torrik-8722]

I am of the opinion that if we think about it literally-that a great deal of time has passed-it doesn't make sense. Rather, I believe that it's more a symbolic message to those who go to look/ mourn the colossi. Agro and Wander do not age, nor does Mono decompose (though Dormin could be preserving her)... and also NOTHING else about the world changes but the colossi. So I don't think anything about time is what's happening. I think it's telling us that no matter what happens, life and nature will overcome and thrive.

Only the building parts of them remain visible, as if their living parts had already been freed, their souls released. What’s been done has been done, and there’s no changing that, but there’s no use in dwelling on it. Nature has accepted them back after their tortured and cursed existence had ended.

is interseting how they become like part of the ground makes you wonder what they were before dormin got splitted into parts.

[@luizalves7429]

por serem ja muito antigos o q mantem eles de pé é a sombra, a sombra se vai o corpo se desintrega e resta apenas a armadura e uma montanha de poeira.

[@amjthe_paleosquare9399]

Both here for the sad, and to finally learn all the Colossi names XD Pfft, Avion is Plane and Barba is Beard in Spanish.

[@rollernkg68]

it never gets easier

[@Kainus95]

It would be a great idea if we could relive the battles with each colossus by simply praying in front of them, in the same way we save the game on the totems. That way it would also be a way to respect them.

[@MonsTerCatita]

You can do this already with their bedies and their statues on the main temple atleast on ps2 version, idk about ps4 but I'm guessing you can too

[@Mega_Roman_gaming]

You can refight them by praying Infront of their dead bodies

[@MonsTerCatita]

@@Mega_Roman_gaming bruh

[@Mega_Roman_gaming]

@@MonsTerCatita wat? I'm just confirming that wat you're saying is true

[@facundovaz2439]

Wait, can you actually do that?

[@CabooseTheMousse]

Just seeing quadratus corpse while passing to other colossi gives me a sense of dread, but seeing them all dead at length like this gives me an existential crisis

[@rjpx947]

Interesting how the stonework is sort of disintegrating. The basic forms of the colossi are there, but they're partly retaken by the land. The colossi are terrifying in this game, but also majestic and awesome. It is sad to see them like this...like a bygone era of myth, such as the Titans from Greek folklore. Is this a mod, or what actually happens in the vanilla game?

[@EntropyAndSingularity]

Nope. It’s literally how they depicted the dead colossi in the original. Surprised it has collision, considering you’re not supposed to be able to reach them normally.

[@mcgfn]

@@EntropyAndSingularityYes you are able to reach them normally lol. The person who made this video didn't modify the game in any way you can play the original or the remaster and do this yourself.

[@EntropyAndSingularity]

@@mcgfn ah, got it

[@derekgonsoulin116]

I have an irrational fear of things just under the water. I'm more scared of the checking the bodies in the water than the actual fight lol.

[@heitorlicnerski9686]

The silence of death is VERY sad

This song adds a feeling that I can't describe...

[@АлександрАдмаев-ю1л]

Unique game. We are waiting for the continuation, judging by the trailer from the game awards

[@bphater31]

When I was a kid, I was thinking that all huge mountains in the world are the dead bodies of Titans. And wondered what would happen if they all came back to life someday. I don't where that idea came from. A child's imagination I guess.....

[@B3N1TO]

Lore wise wouldn’t it make sense to keep the bodies looking like you just killed it? If I’m mistaken forgive me but I thought there was a line in the old ps2 version that says time stopped flowing until wanderer unlocked dormim which started the flow of time again

[@BIGD-cc7ru]

I think the build up of rock and debris growing around their body is to show to the player that every time you defeat a colossus, a LONG period time has passed, months probably (would say years but that seems a bit far fetched) and it questions you on what happens when you are knocked out and mysteriously transported back to Dorman’s temple

[@daokoxd1145]

Late reply but the way it seems is that the colossus Rapidly decayed after many years of being locked in time so as to catch up or the magic that kept them alive faded and it just returned them to what it once was: Dirt and grass with only the artificial stones and armor staying. If we go by the time moves differently like months or years then it wouldn't make sense because Emon and his men would have been very old once they catch up to Wander in the final scene. Best theory is the first one where they rapidly decayed like Time is catching up to them since the Forbidden lands where sealed in time and was gradually broken

[@timmadone8930]

All the dialog spoken in the game is the same in all 3 versions (PS2, PS3, PS4). The only difference is the PS4 version has either new voice acting or a remix of existing voice acting for the male/female voice of Dormin. Either way the subtitles of what Dormin is saying are the same in all 3 versions. I did notice though that one line spoken by one of Lord Emon's men is missing from the PS4 version.

[@alejandrorojas6422]

I have a question, how did you get that bow, for what I know it appears in the character section, on "bows and arrows" but I don't know to earn it. Someone can help, I wish to love this game and that's part of it.

[@timmadone8930]

That bow is called the Ancient Bow & you could only get it with a D.L.C. code which is no longer available. Perhaps if we're lucky enough to get a Definitive Edition of the game next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary, that bow along with a few other D.L.C. items (Spotted Agro, Life Sword, Shaman's Cloak) will be made available as items you can unlock.

[@alejandrorojas6422]

@@timmadone8930 Right, thanks, I really couldn't find any information on it anywhere, so I started to hypothesize about how to obtain it.

[@timmadone8930]

@@alejandrorojas6422 Yeah, I have all the D.L.C. items except the Life Sword. One of the pics in the gallery shows the Life Sword along with the 3 other swords. It's the sword with the circle at the end of the handle. To get the D.L.C. code for that sword you had to pre-order the special edition of the game. In Japan the D.L.C. code was on a piece of paper inside the game case of the standard release. All D.L.C. codes for the game expired in February of 2021.

[@alejandrorojas6422]

​@@timmadone8930 Thank you very much, any way, I glad that I can play this Remake from that master piece, I give it so much time, a really game of my soul

[@timmadone8930]

@@alejandrorojas6422 It is a masterpiece for sure. And there's a lot to do in addition to taking out the colossi. Like obtaining all the trophies. Completing all Normal & Hard Time Attack Modes. Unlocking all 154 gallery pics. Finding & collecting all 79 gold coins. And just exploring the entire map & seeing all the areas you didn't get to see if you just went from colossus to colossus.

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

you know what the remake also needed, freaking dirt and sand physics, but i don't think the ps4 version could handle that

[@piggsy420]

[@rmcuca]

Does this bush in the remains already appear like this or is it gradually appearing? Could someone do a test: pass by the dead colossi after each new colossus defeated and see if there is a gradual change in their appearance or no.

[@rashthunher]

This feels like Eren Jaeger having sympathy on Titans in the last episode of season 3 in AOT

[@Paarzival9877]

I found it very unusual and unique. I really don't know what to think when I see the bodies of the fallen giants, reduced to piles of earth, the vegetation grows on here xd. Because in my opinion it is a more "positive" effect If instead there was something corrupt that was burning plants and earth then it could be a little clearer to me.

I like to think that old man wasnt even born when wander went into these lands
