Colossus 8 - Kuromori | Shadow of the Colossus Walkthrough Shadow of the Colossus Guide, walkthrough

This enemy is a type of a lizard. You can find it in an arena in the rocky area southeast of the castle. The fight itself is a bit schematic but may prove to be time-consuming on higher difficulty levels.

The grotto has an altar with a water basin - this is the corridor leading to the arena.

Descend to the first floor of the arena. Equip your bow and start shooting at the boss to lure it out. Watch out, as the opponent fires strong poison projectiles - the trail left by the projectile also lowers your health.

Approach the weakened wall. When the lizard starts climbing the wall, shoot at two of his four legs to make him fall down. Quickly descend and climb onto its stomach.

Vital points are located on the belly of the beast

Depending on the chosen difficulty level, the stomach will hold one or two vital areas. Now you have the time to deal two fully charged hits at a single weak spot, then you have to repeat the sequence. If you attempt to deal more strikes, the lizard may climb back to its feet and squash you along with him. If you've managed to defeat the opponent in a single sequence, you'll receive a trophy (Grounded Scaler).
