Silence ~Battle with the Colossus~

[tflip1000]

God, there was no better music for fighting Avion than this. As I saw him fly through the mist, this piece instilled in me a sense of awe...Even fear. SOTC is simply another example that video games ARE a form of art.

[machinimamarlon]

@tflip1000 That's exactly what I felt...

Que tranquilidad.. me gusta el "tiii ni~ tiii ni~" xD

[Dreadlord67]

Many video game soundtracks lose their effect when listened to while not playing the game. The soundtrack to The Shadow of The Colossus however is a major exception.

nossa essa nusica e muito massa

[vovautube]

Avion and Phalanx disliked this...

[Enoughyoufool]

2 people are deaf.

[Nagrandt]

@Enoughyoufool Deaf? no. They are colossi.

[SuppaErinchan]

@Enoughyoufool 1 person appears to be unoriginal and inable to type a more productive comment. I wonder who that could be?

....no seriously, it's a fucking thumbs down. It's not like it'll affect the quality of the music or make a colossus rape the viewers ass or anything is it? -___-

[Enoughyoufool]

@SuppaErinchan wow! 1 person raped my 4 word comment. I wonder who that faggot could be?

[SuppaErinchan]

@Enoughyoufool And your middle name is unoriginal, it seems. First a '-numberfodislikers- people are -insertsomethingrelatedtothega­me' comment, then you go and copy my comment. Makes you look pretty dumb, fucktard.

[Cellolife97]

I actually kinda felt sorry for this colossus (Avion) when I killed it. I'm not sure why. I also felt sorry for that other flying one in the desert....I guess mostly because it wasn't even attacking me, it just flew around and didn't even really defend itself while I was killing it. (almsot makes me feel heartles....almost)

[deathskull99]

Ah... This plays when Avion (5th colossus) makes an appearance, right? He's one of my favorite colossi. Thanks for uploading these musical masterpieces!

[RSNathan911]

Song ends at 1:47 not 3:01 =/

[thenameiskip]

This is the song that plays when you're still wondering how the hell you're supposed to kill the thing.

[vicotrance2007]

@thenameiskip hahah thats so true homie LOL! it was a pain in the ass though.. faack!

[gypsydreamer09]

isn't this the song that played during the air snake colossus?

[GojiraNoKyokai]

2 dislikes, hmm, its either they meant to press the like button or they are mentally retarded patients

[nowais]

Dormin doesn't really trick Wander at all. He's pretty upfront about what's going to happen.

He warns Wander that this shit ain't gonna be easy, and he might not get exactly what he wants.

[anahahahahaable]

o espírito que animava o colossus so estava fazendo seu trabalho

[TheSouthernPatriot]

Ironic title is ironic. I love this game.

[BlisterBlaze]

What is the music after you beat the colossus that climbs through walls?The music makes me feel sad and lonely

[fuckweed]

This tune moves me in a way i cannot describe

[rubenalfredo2468]

good your video

[NeoTStyle]

Reminds me of that one colossus in the desert, man, I like that guy.

[OverlordLS]

You feel bad for killing some of them, sure, but they're really just the divided essence of Dormin. By killing them, you absorb his essence into yourself, creating a new body for him. You get screwed over like all hell in this game.

[NeoSarinatan]

That's not entirely definitive. If the spirits that animated them were solely the fragments of Dormin's soul, they wouldn't fight back against you. I believe the colossi were guardians of the fragments, embedded with their own minds and spirits to drive them to protect themselves and the essences they contain.

Killing the colossi has got to be tragic for a reason.

[PhoeniXTalca]

Yeah, Colossi were more like cage. Kind of prison where fragments of Dormin are suposed to be contained

but actually, they don't fight back too much, colossi

get rid of you with just only scratchin their back xD

[MCSuire]

Actually some Colossi in the game fight back and they do so quite heavily. The final one and the one before it are two very good examples of this.

[PhoeniXTalca]

they aren't THAT difficult you can find a quick way up (using your brain a little) and stab those building-like monsters xD

[kjun13]

@NeoSarinatan I couldn't have put it better myself. Perfect statement.

[Shiruvi]

@NeoSarinatan Maybe they WERE fragments of Dormin - fragments who gradually became sentient and decided they didn't want to reunite.

Then Wander comes along and stabs them in the head u.u

[lxtheo]

@Shiruvi There's dialogue in there somewhere describing the people of the land sealing dormin into the 16 colossi. Not to mention it was forbidden for a reason. Simply put, he got trapped, and Wander became his key to get out of it.

[qohs79]

@NeoSarinatan When you take down something that majestic, some emotion has to be stirred

[TheBoredomOtaku]

@NeoSarinatan Both yes and no, I think the Collosi grew independent from the Dormin's power and were only merely given life by it's existence, they weren't evil just grew to be animalistic, some Collosi like Avion the bird did not attack Wander imediantly and only attacked when it instinctively knew he was there to kill it suggesting it was not the evil of the Dormin commanding it to attack but rather it was like an animals survival instinct. This is why I think the Collosi seem so innocent.

[picklesandgravy1]

@NeoSarinatan And Phalanx, I believe he was the one in the desert, the largest of them all. He made no attempt to attack you whatsoever. Any damage Wander took from the battle was his own fault, and this merely enhances your point.

[eedobaba7726]

SPOILER

Well, Dormin does die at the end, and even Agro makes it out alive, albeit injured.

I'd say it's an extremely happy ending. Although, the fact that Wanderer doesn't actually remember mono when he awakens as a baby is a little sad.

[Malygos0]

@eedobaba7726 Personally, i find the ending to be extremely sad. It all depend on the point you see it.

[eedobaba7726]

@Malygos0 I suppose so. Really, to me, it boils down to the facts.

SPOILER

A: Mono came back to life.

B: Wander is very much still alive, with 15, maybe 17 years added onto his life.

C: Agro is alive. :)

D: None of the guards are killed, which to me is good. They were really only doing what they had to.

E: Dormin is dead, which pretty much serves him right for tricking and then possessing poor Wander.

F: All of the events lead to Ico meeting Yorda, which is a very good thing in my book. :)

[TheFireHawk7]

@eedobaba7726 I'm not very familiar with this, though my guess is wander becomes Ico.

[darth612]

@TheFireHawk7 Wander is an ancestor of Ico. Ico has horns because Wander passed down the curse for generations.

[burninator14]

way to spoil the game for anybody who didn't play it bro.

[bluedude426]

Fuck, eargasm.

[Kirby235]

The ending!!! The ending to this game made me feel sad. It made me feel like all I did was for nothing.

[wphvn]

yeah...I was very disappointed

[burninator14]

Hey, the Wanderer did what he had set out to do didn't he?

[p6mkq]

It is played during the fight with Avion(bird),Hydrus(water dragon),Phalanx(dragon) when you try to approach

them

I guess :D

[oskyloco]

Phalanx rocks my favorite colossi

[bowserboy26578]

i almost felt bad after killing him

[oskyloco]

Yeah I know what you say,I felt bad too...it's a really epic game

[cchen04]

every song conveys the mood of the battle so well.

[duskphalanx]

xD the Colossus Icon reminds me of the Dragon Icon in Mortal Kombat.
