Celosia is the eleventh colossus. Unusually small for a colossus (about the size of a large van), this giant is no less dangerous than its larger brethren, and resembles a saber tooth tiger, with armor covering its whole body like Cenobia. Celosia is found in quadrant F1 on the map.
[edit] Path to the Colossus
Head north along the giant bridge until you come to a canyon. At the canyon's east edge, there is a large curving slope (somewhat similar to the one seen in Ico's introduction, notably) that you can use to access the bottom. Head west to the temple built into the gorge. Climb up to the main temple room to start the battle.
[edit] Weakspots
- On its back.
[edit] Quick walkthrough
Upon touching the floor of the main room, Celosia will leap down from the alcove above you and the battle will begin. The first thing it will do is charge, so quickly get out of the way (running or rolling) and make your way to one of the torches on either side of the room. Hiding beside one, the colossus will attempt to, but not be able to reach you. Climb up onto the top of the torch and crouch. Celosia will charge the torch, and a wooden stick will drop from it onto the floor. Quickly jump down and pick up the stick (R1), then climb back up the torch and light it.
When you jump back down, the colossus will become afraid of the lit stick and back away from you. Don't go too close, else the colossus will swipe at you. Before the flame goes out, steer Celosia towards the open end of the room, where it will stumble backwards off the cliff, shattering its armour. After the short cutscene, get out your sword and jump down after it. Its single weakspot is now exposed on its back. Grab on, and the colossus will get onto its feet again and attempt to run back to the temple. Quickly position yourself perpendicular to the colossus and begin stabbing. (At this point, if you let go, it will be difficult to get back on. If you fall off, you will have to do the first part over again, unless you can manage to jump off of something onto it.) After a few stabs in the back, Celosia will fall.
Time Attack time (both difficulties): 5:30
