  • Question: Is that what Wander becomes after he kills the 16th?

  • pieces of Dormin sealed in the 16 colossi means Dormin gave them life. so that mean he has powers of life and death with good and evil?

  • It looks like it's vomiting

  • DORMIN!

  • Hey, have you played the newly released SotC for the PS3? :) Dormin looks really awesome in HD! Probably one of the things I liked most with the HD Collection!

  • Why does he have transparent spider legs

  • @therooom Dormin was never known as an evil ruler. He was merely a god of shadows that peacefully ruled the forbidden lands. Those evil people believed him to be evil merely by his apearence and thus sealed him away. They also killed that woman at the beginning because they believed her to be cursed.

  • @MrFutureseer: Where are you getting that from?

    In the artbook Ueda said Dormin was a menacing being. The land is also filled with light magic relics, which opposes Dormin. Why would Dormin, a dark being, rule over a land of light magic?

    Mono was killed for having a cursed fate. Look what ended up happening in SotC...

  • @XmetaI4everX Well yes Dormin inevitably became a menacing being due to his unfair sealing. I think any great being would be pissed. This information im providing is a synopsis pulled from many sources including the in game plot and background plot pulled from various internet sources all of which practically say the same thing. Dormin originally ruled the forbidden lands. However a new religion shaped under his rule which believed him to be evil. Therefor the humans sealed him away. The relics

  • @XmetaI4everX could have been created after his sealing, due to fear of hsi return. This is just speculation though.

  • @MrFutureseer: It's all speculation. None of this was stated or suggested by the game plot itself.

    If you look at the desert there are rings scattered and broken. These were the same type created by the Castle's people in ICO. It would stand to reason that if the light magic relics were created after Dormin's imprisonment, then these rings would be fairly "new". They also weren't used for imprisonment, but for channeling light magic, so the light magic relics were not all used for containing..

  • @XmetaI4everX The whole peacefully ruled theory is out of the window I see that now. However Dormin did preside within the forbidden lands before and as a god it is reasonable to assume that he ruled the lands he presided in. The game itself draws heavily on middle eastern cultures (many of which believe horns to be a sign of divinity). Also to say that Dormin is opposed by the light is very questionable as well as the introduction to the game lets on that Dormin was able to

  • @XmetaI4everX "control beings created by the light". Also Dormin mainly Communicated to Wander through the rays of light emanating from the sky within the temple. Also to say that the rings would be fairly new to imprison him is also incorrect as Dormin's sealing wasnt referred to in terms of time moreso than an eternity.

  • @XmetaI4everX Plus how would you know that these relics were created for channeling light magic in the first place? I dont recall any sort of commentary of the structure of the land or really what resides within it minus the collossi

  • @MrFutureseer: ...Dormin.

    For further emphasis, the artbook translation: "Dormin is a menacing creature who possesses a power beyond the knowledge of humans. In the past, he committed a forbidden act and was sealed away."

  • @XmetaI4everX Artbook translations and statements are primarily used to get someones attention to something without giving away any details. The story to shadow of the colossus is very well executed in a way that not much is entirely explained and left to much speculation. To follow a games plot through the gamebook or artbook and keep up with it entirely is a heavy task as you have to pile on more information you learn as you progress wich most of the time either emphasizes or takes away from

  • @XmetaI4everX what you originally knew and what the developers provided you with.

  • is he trying to vomit

  • DAHAKA?!?! oh wait no...nevermind false alarm (-_-)

  • who named this guy dorman...? The all-powerful shadow colossus...split apart and hidden within 15 god-sized monsters...capable of destroying anything...but his name is dorman...lol. Might as well have named him Phil or something. XD

  • @Sigmafy DORMIN* and Dormin means sleeping in most romantic languages, he was split up into 16 parts and ever since then he's been sleeping, there's a meaning behind each name of the colossus, just a fun fact for ya Phil

  • @SkiethxEpitaph Dormin is also Nimrod backwards

  • @Sigmafy: Dormin isn't a colossus, he's a powerful dark being. The Colossi were structures designed to separate and contain his physical power.

  • What are those on his back? Wings? Does that mean Dormin can fly??!?! :D

  • lol......dormin is also a colossus!!!!!!!!!

  • @yanmpy1 no, Dormin is all of the colossus'. You had to kill them to release his dark essence that was trapped in them years ago.

  • Anyone else notice that Dormin spelled backwards is "nimrod"? :p

  • @fluffypluffy XD HEY YOU! YEAH YOU DORMIN! DORMIN LISTEN TO ME OKAY FUCK YOU NIMROD LOOK AT ME!

    Dormin: *looks at him*

    lord dude: about time! fucking nimrod

    dormin: *starts crying*

  • @fluffypluffy It's because there was a biblical king named Nimrod (seriously) and he was cut up into many pieces and scattered in one story. Sound familiar?

    I just can't believe there actually was a character in the Bible called "Nimrod" XD

  • he is cute

  • is final game

    shadow of colossus

    the guy ........ im not say to name that's jajajja

  • Dormin is actually alright when you get to know him. I went out with him the other night for a few drinks....he's a hoot when he's had a skinful.

  • dormin sucks is a noob monster and too slow.. but i hate that bastard men in the temple hope some day dormin kill that mother fucker -......- all colossus dead for nothing...

  • I swear, Dormin is fucking scary.

    I for one am happy that I was not forced to fight the scariest colossus of them all.

  • @Quizerno Boo. Colossi are fun when they are scary. I just wish you got the chance to squash that meddling priest. Happy ending or no, that guy needs to die.

  • @XzoahX

    "Colossi are fun when they are scary" <- You could not be more right about that.

  • just goes to show you that you where the actual bad guy killing inocent collosuses thats what the game tought me

  • do you acutally play as Dormin at the end of the game?

  • Hey, but when I am swallowed by the lake appears that those little letters and resumes all over again but does not release the time attack mode! help me!

    Sera that did not go forward because I went on secret garden, or I fell out and died? (Did you not understand my problem, complain)

    Thanks for reading! I hope to answer. : D

  • I wonder if its possible to get killed by the arrows at the end if your hp is low due to the fruits at the Secret Garden.

  • i think the only way to get an alternate ending is to escape the temple after dormin then climb the shrine of worship, then jump through the hole to fall in the main room, die, then get sucked in for a "Not being reborn, just dead" ending.

  • @Nemesis986 Too bad there is no alt ending ;)

  • @xCloud8745x well there is if you go to the top of the secret garden and eat so many fruits that your health is low then kill the final boss and let the crossbowmen kill you as Dormin

  • @mathal13 Nope. Not at all. That was proven to be fake. Sorry ;)

  • when they said, "play as dormin" in the game, i thought i was gonna get to run around battling the colossus (colossi?) as dormin, but i got rickrolled.

  • @ReadCommentBelow You, being Wander, worked so hard to free Dormin and bring back your dead chick and all they did is break an ancient bridge from a beautiful forgotten land, leaving you stranded as a newborn baby with some pale girl who hasn't the slightest clue what the hell's going on, and a lucky-to-be-alive horse with a broken leg. :/

    I think I'll side with the horned baby, athanku. ;)

  • it would be cool if you played as dormin the whole entire game that shold be a real fight to the finish

  • @ReadCommentBelow no, they didn't let Dormin get his way! THEY WERE THE BADGUYZ! D< skfhdksfs

  • Dormin bacwards is nimrod... not as cool when think about it like that.

  • Wait wait wait... Finished the game the other day. You're telling me that this giant combination of all of the colossi can't kill like 5 guys?? Lol.

  • @RockinMetalGuy: It's because Dormin was slowed down by Wander's injuries. If you look carefully, Dormin is limping around and dragging his left leg (or right?). This is because Wander was shot with an arrow on his left (right?) leg right before he became Dormin.

    Either way Dormin still managed to escape the Forbidden Lands in the form of the horned children.

  • Shadow of the Colossus is a 'prequel' to Ico. It just tells the story of how the boys with horns came to be.

  • @sundrop1338 Not true actually the boy that was born has orange hair and the kid from ico has black hair.

  • @BHaustrin He means how each generation of horned children came to be. Wander reborn was the first. ICO is his descendant. ICO takes place thousands of years after Shadow of the colossus.

  • this girl and guy (hero of the game) is from the first game ico or anothers?? plz answer

  • @therooom We understand, we just wanna be criminals.

  • eu zerei o shadow em um dia!

    esse jogo é muito bom mas é facil!

    agora eu queria saber como faz para ganhar novas armas

    meu amigo disse que quando mata todos os colossus no modo time atac ganha novas armas!

    comenta ai!

  • The end of this game made me sad...

  • @ratmanrussell And it made me despise Dormin for what he did.

  • i beat the game in to days

  • i succeded to ride a fucking pigeon near worship shrine xD its funny as hell...

    i thought being dormin is gonna me badass... turns out its a 15 sec gameplay xD

  • @Kuksoman Well, We can atleast say there's a seventeenth collosus, Dormin the epic non fightable collosus that rules...THEM ALL!

    Wtf are those tentacle thing's on his back anyways?

  • @soule481 i heard somewhere that if you get to the top of the shrine there is a nother collosus but i never got up there

  • @fireandbombs12

    No, there are only fruits that you can shoot out of the tree - strangely, these fruits take away points from your stamina bar. So, if you eat to many, you won't be able to get back up again.

    Also, if you go into the main room, the room with Mono, and look up, you can see light coming in through a hole in the roof. Up there is the garden, and you can fall down through that hole and die.

  • @fireandbombs12 that's fake because the 16 are part of the story. 

  • lol, dormin

  • i remember the first time i finished this game i had a lump in my throat because i wanted wander to live. i didnt know about ico back then.

  • There are invisible walls that keep you from leaving onto the field, before and after the sword goes into the pool - how do I know? I spent ten minutes painfully minijumping wander away from the sucking pool to the altar. I thought I could escape, but the bastards made barriers. Woulda been cool to get out, climb to the bridge, and go postal on Emon and his men.

  • @ConzultheGreat Same here, i was really suffering while trying to get away from the pool,that was so sad! :(

  • it's the x button that makes him breathe fire but it takes a while to recharge, if you time it right for the film sequence when they enter the pool you see it shooting from his face

  • @aluevius wow i just tested it again square does nothing and circle does rightarm slam. There is a bug where you can survive as dormin for longer than you attention span. once u kill the 16th, press skip. You will get instant control of dormin. Now, turn left (not back on the stick, LEFT) until you are facing the pool) Now run and keep tothe right. @the end of hall press and hold triangle+r1 to crouch, facing pool. 2 soldiers will escape but emon and 3 others will be trapped in ur right armpit!!

  • wow will have to try that - hilarious!

  • @ConzultheGreat You may have your controls configured differently to mine, when I play square is the right-arm slam. I will have to try that out that trapping glitch, sound cool. Thanks for the tip. Just one question; what do you mean by longer than you attention span?

  • Well I mean Emon just walks in circles, then has his men fire at you, and repeats. Since by the time I get to dormin I have full health, it takes me 15 minutes of holding r1+tri for my health to fall to half. My fingers can't take that, so I end up just letting them go. If you time it right, you can work a slam into the sequence where they enter the pool room and they will still fall! Fun, I must try sometime to see what happens if they get around to reducing dormin's health to zero....

  • I don't know the button I hit, but I've made him breath blue fire once.

  • @ConzultheGreat

    It's a shame the makers of the game made it feel like you could change the ending with this sequence, because people come op with bullshit comments like that

  • @ConzultheGreat Dormin: foolish human, none can escape the power of my armpit. Not even with that sword.

  • has a very human face, lips and nose

    0:11

    I had not noticed at the first time I saw him..

  • I hated the stupid ending, where'd those weird guys in masks even come into play? Wow.

  • @NeLLz4LyFe

    They're people from his village, with Emon being a spiritual leader. The general sense is that Emon is both the one who told Wander about the Forbidden Land and the one who sacrificed the girl. Dormin, for its part, had integrity to keep its word. Without the Ancient Sword though... the shadow beings may have tried to kill Wander.

  • I didnt like the ending of this game it should of let you kill them guys instead of them turnin you into a baby lol.

  • The Controls for Dormin: Square is triple-foot stamp, X is acid breath, Circle is the right-arm slam attack, Triangle is some kind of hover. It amazes me that they coded in humans and dormin and all that, and you only get 30-60 seconds....

  • dormin THE 17COLOSSUS

  • @minterjeremy1083

    dormin THE COLOSSUS

    read so many posts on so many SotC videos... people...u r so bad, please play the game b4 incredibly outstating yourself, and if u did play it and ur still a retard...sucks

  • i wish you could kill those stupid guys when you play as dormin

  • what no entiendo lo q escriben jajajajajajaja

  • wtflearnenglish wtf learn english!

  • So is there or isn't there a 17th collossus?

  • dormin is the combination of all 16 collosi. so no.

  • @zetsutobi i thought dormin is the bigg voice that talks in the begging of duh missions

  • @evilquinquinburger he is, he also talks when he's in this form

  • he is

  • someone needs to find a glitch at the end where you can escape the shrine of worship being dormin. Also, someone needs to find the same glitch at the end when you're being sucked into the vortex and you escape the temple. It would be kind of weird if after you escaped you went around the temple and climbed the ivy to the top while the vortex is still going, and then you meet up with the people and the old man at the top of the bridge. Then you slice them with your sword and kill them.

  • @salasvalor01 only thing wrong with that is that his sword was thrown into the pool to open the vortex

  • @salasvalor01 it IS possible to stay away from the pool. All you need to do is keep moving while you constantly tap triangle. You can slowly move forward as long as you want, but sadly, about halfway trough the shrine, there is an invisible wall.

  • @salasvalor01 I'd use the glitch to go to New York as Dormin.

  • @salasvalor01 i found the glitch you have jump form side to side when the vortex stops for 5 secs. but my gamer fingers hurt so bad that i gave my sister the controller and we keep switching back and forth as fast as we can and we made it to the girlfriend and nothing happen!! he just stood there! it pissed us off.:D

  • @salasvalor01 if you hit jump with good timing u can make it up to the alter but there's an invisible wall

  • It was cool to play as him. But I have to say how awesome it would have been if Dormin had won that battle against the guards and then we get to roam around the land as a giant colossus.

  • BEHOLD: NIMROD...OH WAIT...DORMIN...yeah...that's it....

  • can you play as dormin?

  • yep at the very end

  • how long can you play as him ? lol i did finish the game and play as him for awhile, but any chance for a bit longer?

  • You can't play as Dormin any longer than about a minute at a time. What I did was save the game at the last save shrine before the final colossus, then you can just beat it, skip part of the ending by pressing start and play as Dormin again any time.

  • @Hipzu you can play as him as long as you can hit those one gaurdian people but once they get past you its over.

  • dormin is so awsome he can breath fire. =D

  • what is this??

  • Comment removed

  • SOTC SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS its a main character

  • can you get a pc version of sotc because it would be awsome if you could get a skin of dormin xD.

  • whem you play with him press X

  • to breath fire man

  • ive only killed about 10

  • Dormin is AWESOME! I only wish that you could kill those bastardly men in the temple >.>

  • As Dormin is rocking back and forth while nodding his head he is pretty much telling the priest and the guardsmen "Okay....You Guys Are FUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LMFAO XD. GO DORMIN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what does ico stand for?

  • Ico? It stands for Ico, in the same way LostDem0n stands for LostDem0n.

  • Ico is the name of the boy in the game Ico

  • its wierd cuz in game time ico is after sotc i think its pritty wierd and cool.

  • kinda like star wars =D

  • where do u see starwars in this

  • Ugh, he's horrible looking.

  • What happens if u kill every man in the castle at the end of the game when u are Dormin?

  • I don't think it's possible, you're just too freaking slow...it's kinda irritating cuz i wanna know as well

  • You cant, you can only knock them down. Its pretty easy to delay them for some time, though.

  • I dont think you can kill them. Me and my friend always try to kill every guy in there but all that happens is that they simply fall down then get back up.

  • no duh omegaweapon116!!!!!!!!! lol

  • Team ICO produces some of the most original, artistically beautiful, emotionally stimulating games out there

  • They only made two games o-o

  • it only took two games, they've already shown their ability in making these works of art

  • well said :D

  • Why did that old fart have to seal you away as a baby!? You killed all the colossus and now you get to be one too! Ruling the vast land undisputed!

    WHYYYYYYY!!!!???

  • A baby? Wander turned into a baby? What?

  • Yeah, after you become super big and evil, the old man seals up the evil again and the boy turns into an baby just as the girl wakes up.

  • Huh, weird.

  • have you not played the game?

  • Yes, I have played the game. I have the game.

  • Im some sites dormim is compared with nimrod because its much equal.And remember the language of them are the japonese in the oposite

  • All of Team ICO's projects are related. Shadow of the Colossus is a prequel to ICO. In the end of SotC, the "Wonderer" as he is called is reborn as the cursed boy with horns, thanks to Dormin.

    I'm not sure how The Last Guardian will tie in but we'll see.

  • From what I hear, the boy from Ico is the ancestor to the SOTC protagonist. The Last Guardian makes me wish I owned a PS3...

  • I know what you mean. Each game they makes just gets better and better. They are all masterpieces! First ICO, then Shadow of the Colossus, and now The Last Guardian! And you have to admit, the boy looks similar to ICO and Wanderer in a few ways. It's tough to say how he will relate...but in all, their new game looks to be a beautiful story...as usual... > . >

  • Wow, I played the demo in September '05, and for a PS2 game, the graphics are still quality 'til this very day.

  • Guess what everyone, I made Dormin on Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009 : )

  • I have never played this game i just heard of it from a youtube poop video cause someone used the theme from when dormin apears in the youtube poop video. Is Dormin a good guy or a bad guy

  • both he is your character formed by the evil spirits you collect in the game.

  • I wonder, Is Dormin related to the monsters of ICO?

  • No.

  • Actually, they are. The creator (cant emember his name) stated it at a press conferance.

  • when the bridge was falling i was hoping that priest and his men would fall with it..

  • Hahaha me too, I was like okay, make the horses live somehow and let the men fall Lol

  • how do you unlock dormin?

  • just kill all the colossi :)

  • Pick up a Bible about it

  • Dormind = Nimrod backwards

    The Colossi = fallen angels

    The tower #16 is in = Tower of Babel

  • You do know the main character had horns when you start the game right? you have to look very carefully and you have to get a camera angle up frecken close to the side of his head. so he had them already.

  • the horns get bigger as you kill the colosi also his skin gets paler and his hair darkens the girl get lighter hair and less pale as you go to

  • i need to play ICO! WAHHH!

  • the next team ico game will be about the origin of Dormin. The baby griffon and the boy grow up and will eventually combine to form him.

  • what makes you think that?

  • Lies....lies....all lies

  • Look up 'The Last Guardian'. It's Team Ico's newest project, set to be released for the PS3.

  • The ending was fucked up. the protagonist is affected by the shadows that end up controlling him and turning him into Dormin, causing his fall as human. In the end, he was able to save the girl he loved, but instead of dying, he was reborn. He gave everything to see the girl live, but was forced to not share the success of it. Instead, he was forced back into life as a baby with the mark (demon horns). Really great ending, but was so fucked up had me all depressed and shit.

  • I had the exact same feeling when I beaten the game too...Really made me sad...

  • Yeap, but fucked up endings that make me all depressed and shit are my cup 'o' tea. Braid, anyone?

  • i think that every consoles has some awesome game that are exclusive to themselves like on gamecube mario party 4,5,6,7 i think mario sunshine and luigi mansion/ super smash brothers melle, ps2 shadow of the colussus,ico kindom hearts 1 and 2, sly cooper and the thing and eyetoy, gran turismo 3/4, xbox halo, project gotham, blinks, ds pokemon whatever it is every console would have some great and some crap games thank you.

  • it was sad to see Agro and wander die in this game

  • Agro did not die, he came back limping after that fall, which makes it even sadder for the fact that he lost his original rider.

  • damn ur so right

  • I love the look Agro gave Wonder when he turned into a baby.

  • Dormin is a fascinating and mysterious being. I want to know more about him.

  • but of coarse you wont be able to CUZ THIS GAME DOESNT TELL YOU ANYTHING!!! im jk this is a rly great game
