Secret Garden
From WikiUeda
The Secret Garden is the courtyard seated at one of the topmost points of the central Shrine of Worship in Shadow of the Colossus. It is featured in the ending of the game when Mono is led to it by Agro. There they find the white doves featured in the game and other creatures not seen in the Forbidden Lands before, along with other animals exclusive to the PAL version such as a squirrel.
The garden can also be reached by players building up enough stamina after playing through the game approximately three to four times and then climbing up along the temple walls.
[edit] E3 demo infomation
The Secret Garden was first discovered in the E3 demo that was officially released to the public during the September 2005 issue of PSM (though it was made available in numerous publications later that year). The courtyard was able to be reached by using a vertical angle jumping "glitch" which allowed the player to climb without draining the grip meter; however, this "glitch" was fixed in the stand-alone demo as well as the final product. Upon reaching the Secret Garden, several portions of the area were still unfinished. One of the most interesting details found in the demo version was a incomplete, female character model which was most likely used for Mono. It often noted for its appearance since the model has been left headless.
