"Shadow of the Colossus" Achievement?

[Shadowspaz]

... How?

It seems that I can never get a proper angle to pull it into its chest. The closest I've gotten is dragging the arrow past right in front of him.

Anyone have tips, here?

I'm also looking for info on this, I'm guessing you have to leave your arrow at the entrance and pull it in from far enough that you can dodge out of the way and the the arrow go further, but idk.

Plus, I'm not even sure it's the right boss, since the cheevs all reference the boss by name and the name of the guy in the beginning is Gol'liath.

Actually, the achievements only mention the Titans by description. The "lava blob" Titan's name is Mol-Qayin, the "Mountain Titan" is Stratus, and so on. So "Broken Statue Titan" makes perfect sense to be Gol-iath.

The approach I've been trying is placing the arrow at a steep angle from his chest, and pulling it diagonally across. I don't think it's possible to pull the arrow and get out of the way, though. It tracks to the player too well, and when you stop pulling, the arrow stops pretty quickly.

Ah, fair enough, ignore what I said then, it's pretty late where I am.

Hahaha, no worries. I had a similar thought before realizing it couldn't work. :P

Sorry do you mean the tutorial golem? You can completely walk out of his arena and go behind him towards the exit and pull it.

Yeah I just did it, you need to activate him and then roll back through the door before it closes. It's a little finicky because the arrow needs to travel a little before it'll kill him but it's rpetty easy.

Hahaha, wow. Thanks a lot! :)

Having trouble still, any more tips?

I shot the arrow in to start the fight, rolled out, and let the door close. Then I pulled the arrow back to around the middle of the room, to get some space to gather speed for a piercing shot.

Then from there, you can circle around to the top, let the right fist fall, and immediately step onto the left side and start pulling the arrow. You can get a bit more time if you guide the right fist to the left side, because the left fist won't move from his chest until after the right fist lands.

Just take note of how the screen's divided into left and right, use that to control the fists, and with a couple tries, you should be able to get the timing down.

Here's a video of someone doing it. They do it in a more speedy fashion than you would need to but you should be able to see how to do it.

Stand 5 feet from door > Shoot boss > Roll back immediately > Pull arrow away from him a little bit > Get behind him > Pull when he lifts his fist.

Thanks for that, got it straight away, didn't realize the arrow had to be so far away.

One thing I've learnt about this game, once you see the best way to kill a boss, it's pretty easy to copy it.

Yeah, I was having difficutly with the Knight (Giant guy with the arrow) but as soon as I saw the quick kill on youtube he became easy.

[Shadowspaz]

What? There's a quick-kill for that guy? lol

Yeah I mean most of the bosses have a qick kill in this game because of the one hit kill thing. The knights one of the slowest bosses to kill because of his startup but you can still kill him within ~15 seconds of entering, Just get him to shoot the arrow almost vertically down and then it's really easy to hit.

..... Oh my god. I thought you couldn't hit the arrow while it was still moving. xD

Aside from that, I'd always get him to aim down, but... Damn, wish I even thought to TRY that. Would've made the No-Roll run a lot less painful. lol
