Answer: Unsheathes the ancient sword

Upon arriving at the Shrine of Worship in the forbidden land, Wander draws his sword to dispel mysterious figures that appear from the ground. Dormin's voice comes down from the sky in response, asking about his possession of the sword.

Answer: Follows the light from his sword

Wander's sword possesses the unique quality of focusing light onto a Colossus. By holding it up in a sunlit place, beams of light reflect in the direction of the Colossus he is to defeat.

Answer: Lizard tails

Lizards with shining white tails can be found at shrines and other locations throughout the forbidden land. By shooting them down with his bow, Wander can then harvest the tails to increase his stamina meter.

Answer: Break its wrist armor

Gaius' primary attack is to slam its sword onto the ground. By standing in the middle of the arena atop a large steel plate, Wander can trick Gaius into slamming its sword onto the metal; the reverberation shatters the wrist armor from the Colossus' body, allowing Wander to climb its arm.

Answer: Two

Avion and Phalanx, the fifth and thirteenth Colossi respectively, are airborne creatures that Wander battles in the air. They are the only two Colossi who can do so; the other fourteen are grounded.

Answer: Luring it to a water geyser

Basaran prowls around the dry lake bed in which the battle takes place; scattered about the lake bed are numerous water geysers that periodically erupt. Luring Basaran atop one of these geysers sends it off balance, allowing Wander to attack its feet.

Answer: Twelve

After Wander fells the twelfth Colossus, the cutscene plays, revealing that he has pursuers. The reason they are after Wander remains a mystery until the climax at the end of the game.

Answer: Cenobia, the fourteenth Colossus

Cenobia, a bull that guards an abandoned city, has only a ramming physical attack. Hydrus is an electric eel that emits shocks from its antennae, Pelagia fires electricity from its crystalline tusks, and Malus fires electric blasts from the palm of its hands.

Answer: Dirge, the tenth Colossus

Most Colossi in the game share battles themes with other Colossi that you fight. A few of them have their own unique themes that play, namely Dirge, Argus and Malus.

Answer: False

Phaedra does not require a bow and arrow to defeat. The horse-like Colossus simply requires that you lure it to an underground passage in the arena. Then, you climb onto it while it crouches to look for you.

Answer: Fire

Celosia is a lion-like Colossus that is afraid of fire; the first stage of the battle has Wander hold a torch up to the Colossus, scaring it into backing off of a cliff. The fall breaks its armor, allowing Wander to strike.

Answer: Perform a slide out of a sprint

While riding Agro, you can perform a number of tricks to aid you in either travelling or combat. They can reduce the difficulty of some Colossus battles requiring the use of Agro, such as instantaneously turning to avoid Dirge's leaping strikes. However, a slide out of a sprint is not one of the available stunts.

Answer: True

Agro suffers a devastating fall from a collapsing bridge on the way to the sixteenth Colossus, but at the end of the game it is revealed that she survived, only injuring one leg. Mono reunites with the horse back at the Shrine of Worship.

Answer: Drops the ancient sword into the pool

Upon falling into the water, the ancient sword emits a blinding beam of light that draws the fusion of Wander and Dormin into it. This is the last part of the game in which you control the character, but your only available action is to struggle against the light, eventually losing your strength and getting sucked in.
