Basaran

Basaran is the ninth colossus. This giant, resembling a tortoise crossed with a tarantula, makes its home on a geyser field located in quadrant D3 on the map.

[edit] Path to the Colossus
Exit the Shrine from the right and head south. You should easily see a giant black cloud on the horizon - that's where you're headed. Getting there is simple: cross the landbridge north of the Shrine and head straight there. Once you've entered the geyser area, head slightly northwest in the thick smog to find the colossus sleeping in a cave near the field's edge. He will wake up when you get close enough; make sure you're still on Agro at this point.
[edit] Weakspots
- On its head.
[edit] Quick walkthrough
Quickly get up some speed while riding Agro, because the first thing this colossus will do is hurl lightning projectiles at you, and you can't dodge them fast enough on foot. Your goal is to ride around on Agro and get the colossus to follow you onto one of the geysers that can be found around the area. Make sure to keep a close eye on the colossus while you're riding (hold down L1, by default).
Once Basaran is over a geyser, do whatever you can to keep him there until it erupts. Either get in close and make him do a stomp attack, or ride circles around him. When it does erupt, the force of the water will lift the colossus into the air, exposing a few vulnerable spots on its bottom of its "feet". Quickly get off of Agro and shoot the glowing areas on the two feet that are on the ground, and the colossus will tumble over into the earth. His underbelly is furry, so use that to climb up and reach its upper (shell) area. Be careful, as it will get back on its feet as soon as you climb to to the shell. The shell itself does not have any fur to cling to (obviously), so watch out if it tries to hurl you off on the way to its head.
Time Attack times (Normal, Hard): 7:30, 5:30
[edit] Tricks
- While he's still in the cave, it's possible to launch off of Agro straight onto its bent lower leg, and jump onto its shell. (Video)
- If Basaran rears its head up while Wander is on the lower "rim" of his head, Wander may get thrown extremely high into the air. (Video)
