Hard Mode

From WikiUeda

Hard Mode is an unlockable difficulty in Shadow of the Colossus, accessed from the Main Menu once the game has been successfully completed on Normal. The differences between Hard and Normal difficulty are as follows:

• Five colossi (Valus, Quadratus, Gaius, Barba, and Argus) have one additional weakpoint. Phaedra has two more.
• Wander will take more damage from colossi attacks, and very heavy attacks (such as being stomped on, for instance) will now kill him instantly.
• Different items may be obtained through Time Attack, such as Emon's mask and the Queen's sword from Ico. Additionally, the target times change for most of the colossi - see the article for full details.
