1. Go behind the Colossus' right leg and stab it so it falls to its knees. Climb to the top of its head to find its weak point.

2. When the Colossus rears up, shoot the soles of its feet. It will crash down, allowing you to climb up its head and its butt, where its weak points are located.

3. This Colossus holds a giant stone club. Find the stone platform and stand on it, and roll out of the way when the colossus tries to hit you. The impact will break its left arm armor. Let it try to hit you again. When the club is stuck, climb up to it and shimmy up the armor break on its arm to reach its weak points on the top of its head and its belly.

4. Find the tunnels and go inside it. The Colossus will bend over the entrance and try to sniff you out. Go out the back entrance of the tombs and climb over its tail while it's still looking for you in the other entrance. Its weak point is at the top of it's head.

5. Swim to the stone tower nearest the Colossus and shoot arrows at it until it flies off. Find the three floating stone platforms near any tower and stand on one. Shoot more arrows at the Colossus until it drives at you. Before it hits you, jump up to its wing. Remember to move across the Colossus' back only when it's flying calmly. Make your way to the tip of its wings and tail for its three weak points.

6. Run! Run all the way to the opposite end of the room and hide inside the alcove where it can't see you. Once it ducks down to take a peek, run out and climb up its beard. Its weak points are at the top of its head and its lower back.

7. Swim around until you see the Colossus head straight for you. Position yourself so that it passes right under you, then grab onto its tail when it breaks the surface. Make your way from the tail to its head, making sure to grab on when you go underwater. Stay clear of the spikes as they blast electricity when they hit water. Stab clear of the spikes, as they blast electricity when they hit water. Stab the weak points near the spikes, then go for the killing blow on the Colossus' head.

8. Go down to the second floor and shoot some arrows at it to attract the Colossus' attention. Once it starts climbing the walls to look for you, avoid its attacks and shoot two of its glowing feet. It will fall down on its back. Jump down to the area, get on its underside and stab the two weak points you'll find on its chest and its belly. Repeat as many times as it takes to defeat it.
