Black Shadows

OK I've looked through the forum listing and I can't find any topic on this.

Has anyone noticed that the Black Shadows that appear in the temple after each Colossus battle keep going up by one? Could these really be "The Shadow[s] of the Colossus"? They're also humanoids, which leads me to think they could possibly that the Colossi were once men who trespassed on the forbidden land and were cursed and then transformed into what they became.

Now I haven't finished the game yet, so if this is all explained don't be calling me a fool ¬__¬

re: Black Shadows

I never thought of that. Even tho I'm only on the 2nd colossi I noticed it went up by one. I think it might be the spirits of the men/women.

re: Black Shadows

Exactly. Perhaps the reason the land is forbidden is that you are turned into one of the gigantic beasts if you tread the earth.

This might be why I always feel bad killing Colossi...

re: Black Shadows

Hope I don't turn into one! Don't feel bad about killing them, they'd kill you and everyone you love if they got the chance!

re: Black Shadows

I feel bad because really, they haven't done anything to Wanda so it's kinda mean to have to kill them just becuase you were told to. I mean Wanda doesn't even know if Dormin can bring the girl back to life yet he's willing to kill (apparently) living beings just in the hope that she will be bought back to life... It's unfair that 16 magnificent creatures should die just to possibly save one life.

re: Black Shadows

Dude, it's "Tommex".

And I got the game this morning and I've gotten through 6 Colossi. The last one I did was the one with the beard in the temple.

Slow down! You don't want to make the game short!

re: Black Shadows

I'm trying to get through so I can unlock hard mode to prove more of a challenge... I try to play every game through on hard mode first but seeing as you have to unlock it in this game... Yeah.

re: Black Shadows

OK. Games aren't challenging as they should be anymore. I normally play games on hard on my first run through but you have to unlock it on this game so I'm gonna zip through it first time then go again on hard and take my time.

re: Black Shadows

Time attack is also something I'm looking forward to. I work well under pressure in games so I'll probably get that done soon.

re: Black Shadows

The shadows are all explained in the end, and have a good reason to be there. Just a little hint, look at Wanders appearence as time goes on. Im sure you will get a vibe from it all when nearing the end. Tommex, your a fool XD
