Barba
From WikiUeda

Barba is the sixth colossus. This colossus lives in a vast underground prison hall and is located in quadrant D6 on the map. He resembles both Valus and Argus in shape and build.

[edit] Path to the Colossus
Head southwest through the forest, and look for an exit at its northeastern area. Take this exit and you should emerge at the edge of a gigantic plain. Travel southwest through D5 (use the sword for the precise direction) until you reach the temple. Here you have to leave Agro behind as you climb over the rubble blocking the narrow temple hallway. At the end of the hallway is the enormous prison where Barba is. Enter the room and a very brief cutscene will play, panning over the room. Continue straight forward and climb down the ridged wall shown in the cutscene. When you reach the bottom, the wall will lower, and Barba will be right in front of you.
[edit] Weakspots
- On its head.
- On the lower-left side of its back.
- (Hard Mode) On the back of its left hand.
[edit] Quick walkthrough
Your goal is to get to the other end of the huge room without getting trampled. There are three wall barricades you can climb to get there, but Barba can also break them down by walking through them. Once you reach the other side, hide yourself in the small room built into the wall. Whistle to get Barba's attention if necessary. Soon, the colossus will bend down to see where you went; this is the time to run out and jump onto his beard (or his left hand, if you're playing on Hard).
Time Attack times (Normal, Hard): 3:30, 6:30
[edit] Tricks
Instead of heading straight down the ridged wall after the cutscene plays, you can jump off of one of the extended ledges on the left or right to get a head start on Barba. Be prepared to take some damage, though - if you die from the fall, you will have to restart from the last time you saved (since the battle hasn't technically begun yet).
At the start of the fight, Barba will try to pound you with his fists. If you're very fast, you can hitch a ride on his hand and stab the weakpoint there (on Hard Mode).
