How to Beat the First Colossus in Shadow of the Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus is an action-adventure game developed by Team Ico and originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. The game features 16 giant creatures called Colossi that the player must defeat to save a girl's life. In this game, the first Colossus is the easiest to defeat, and here's how you can do it:

1. Climb up the ruins: The first Colossus is located at the far end of a long bridge. Before reaching the bridge, you need to climb the ruins on the left side. The ruins will lead you to a path that takes you to a bridge to cross.

2. Reach the Colossus: After crossing the bridge, you will reach a clearing where the first Colossus awaits you. As you approach it, the ground will shake, and the Colossus will rise from the ground.

3. Climb the Colossus: To defeat the first Colossus, you need to climb it. Look for the fur on its left leg and use it as a grip to climb up. Once you reach the top, you need to find its weak spot, which is located on its head.

4. Stab the weak spot: When you reach the weak spot, use your sword to stab it. The Colossus will shake and try to throw you off, but hold on tight and keep stabbing until it falls.

5. Repeat: Once the Colossus falls, it's not dead yet. You need to climb up and stab its weak spot a few more times until it finally dies.

6. Collect the reward: After defeating the Colossus, a beam of light will shine down, and you can use it to teleport back to the shrine. Head to the altar to collect your reward, which is a beam of light that will show you the way to the next Colossus.

Remember, each Colossus has a different weak spot, so you will need to figure out how to defeat each one. Good luck!
