Second hour of Shadow of the Colossus was spent solely on the ninth colossus. I spent a great deal of time trying to find it, completely missing the huge cave that it resided inside. Made me feel pretty dumb. After trying to evade its missiles on foot and dying twice, I concluded that riding the horse would be the best way to stay clear of heavy damage. It also became apparent that the geysers would be useful in beating the colossus. Since it didn't appear to have any accessible weakness, I assumed, correctly, that my strategy would involve luring the colossus over the geyser to flip it over(its turtle-like shape also gave it away). With some help from a friend, it was revealed to me that I would have to shoot the beast's feet as well. After a long, long time of luring the colossus over the geysers, and failed attempts at shooting its feet, I finally managed to climb on top of it. After that it was easy going. I'm coming to realize that the actual killing of the colossus is not the difficult aspect of the game, so much as finding each colusses' weakness, and then managing to find a way on top of it.
