Cenobia
From WikiUeda
|
Cenobia is the fourteenth colossus. It bears a close resemblance to Celosia and shares an identical attack pattern, but is more lion-like and wears more protective armor that is very different from Celosia's. Like Celosia, it is about the size of a large van (and slightly bigger). It is found in the lost city in quadrant C2 in the Forbidden Lands.
[edit] Path to the Colossus
Cenobia is probably the most difficult colossus to find if you don't have a guide, so keep using your sword to confirm its location.
Follow the sword's light northwest. Cross the land bridge that leads to the west, turn slightly to the right, run across the open area and enter the nearby canyon. When you reach a fork in the path, take the left. When you reach an open area, run and turn left until you find a short staircase. Turn right, and eventually you will find a path marked by several short pillars. Go down this path.
At the end, you will reach a cave. Abandon Agro at the edge of the pool of water and swim to the other side.
At the end of the cave, you will find what seems to be the ruins of an old city. Jump off the ledge and enter the doorway ahead. You will find yourself in a trench. Climb onto the nearby pillar and use it to boost yourself up to the ledge above. Follow the trench to the end, run up the stairs, and the colossus will present itself.

[edit] Quick walkthrough
As soon as the colossus comes for you, jump onto the fallen pillar on your immediate left. Jump onto the ledge nearby and run across. Jump from ledge to ledge until you reach a tall and still intact pillar. Jump to it, grab a hold of one of the ridges, and quickly climb up it. When you are on top, the colossus should be down below waiting for you. It will charge the pillar, and when it collides, you may be set off balance, so hold on. It will continue to circle the pillar, so shoot it with an arrow to anger it, and Cenobia will charge again. The second time, the pillar will break and fall to the ground, with you on it. If you happen to fall off, it's not a big deal; because the pillar has fallen, you can climb up on it. Use the fallen pillar as a stepping stone to the next one, and repeat.
Eventually you will find yourself on the ledge of a large tower at the south of the ruins. Drop down and grab the edge of the ledge, and hand-over-hand to the ledge on the ledge on the opposite side of the tower. From there, you can jump to a final pillar and repeat the process one last time. But this time, instead of just falling, the pillar will demolish an entire wall, granting you easy access to the area from which you first entered. Making sure not to be run over by Cenobia, make your way to the ledges in the wall on the opposite side of the small area and climb up them. Run to the platform where the entrance is, make your way to the edge, and shoot the colossus with an arrow. Then, stand back as far from the edge as possible.
When Cenobia charges again, it will destroy the pillar that was supporting the platform, bringing a large chunk of the ledge down on itself. Its armour will crack, and its vitals will be out in the open. Jump down and climb onto the fallen pillar that destroyed the wall. When the colossus charges the fallen pillar, it will knock itself out for a few seconds, allowing you to jump on and stab it a few times. Repeat as you see fit, and Cenobia will fall.
Time Attack time (both difficulties): 9:00
