Shadow of the Colossus - Valus in the Forbidden Lands

I found more areas where I could take Valus (so this is a continuation of my '600 uploads' video). There's a large area behind the gorge where No. 8's cave is (to the south) where Valus can explore, but it's like he's on an island as all the surrounding lands are missing, replaced by an ominous mist.

It looks really good to the south but in the direction of the SoW it's quite ugly with only parts of mountains rendered etc. As soon as you pass the boundary, Valus unloads and the surrounding lands reappear.

I also found the rest of his animations - by holding Circle then using the D-pad buttons or R1 and R2, he shakes his legs and body etc. R3 makes him crouch down, but I can't make him stand up again once he's crouching. So I'll be able to check out the other animations on the rest of the colossi now.

I also got a little closer to the temple in 8's area, but if I get too close Valus unloads. I tried from different directions but it seems there's no way to get Valus there... sadly.

Anyway, until I can get another colossus to the forbidden lands (which seems more and more unlikely) this is the best I can do right now - so I hope you enjoy this video (a little longer than most of my others).

Can you be the 11th colussus?

[Nomad0168]

@iTimere I can and have, but there's a problem with this one. The camera keeps moving up and down when I'm Celosia, and I haven't been able to stop it doing that, it's really annoying.

But you cant hack on a fucking game consol. And not a PS2. How did you do man!?

[Nomad0168]

@Themanfrom1993 Yes, I hack the game to do these things using the PCSX2 emulator on my PC. I use a memory editor to find codes and manipulate them. The code that allows you to control the colossi was found by WWWArea but the developers left the controls for the colossi intact. It's speculated they used these controls to test the colossi.
