The following is my take on what the main character of Shadow of the Colossus thought about while he was killing his "foes". I do not own any of the characters, or anything like that, but if I did that would be freaking cool. Also, the following contains spoilers to the games, and some hints to defeat some of the different colossi, but not really. I didn't make this as a strategy guide, so little to no detail went into the monster battles. Of course if you are reading this then you have played the game, and there really would be no reason for me to waist my breath... of course I'm not talking so... ANYWAY, enjoy.
Day One
Argo and I picked up the dead girl and headed out.
Traveling through forests on hours is a pain in the ass seeing as Argo doesn't like to be run into trees. He makes it seem like it's my fault he can't think for himself, and that the trees grow so close together.
Camped by a river. Ate a lizard. Not very happy.
Day Three
Made it to the big temple, castle, thing. Had to cross the narrow bridge with no railing. Make me wonder how much traffic this place has gotten seeing as passing during high traffic would be quite dangerous.
Got inside. It is dark and smells like old people. Big twisting ramp really tall and thin. Good thing I am not afraid of heights.
Big monster statues at the bottom. Talking light told me that I needed to break them to bring my dead chick back. I told it that she hadn't gone anywhere seeing as she was dead. He told me back to life, and I wondered why he didn't say that in the beginning.
Decided to wait it out and see if praying would bring my chick back because monsters look scary.
Day Six
Praying gets you nowhere. Prayed for three days and got zero results, so decided to go after first monster. Also the voice in the light was getting really annoying. Always nagging me. You would think that we were married. Good thing marrying disembodied light voices is against the law.
Day Seven
Found the first monster, finally. Should have know better than to listen to that voice. Light from sword is much more reliable, and doesn't talk.
Had to leave Argo behind, very sad. Climbed up some dry grass and got a splinter. Even more sad. Got to the top and… What the FUCK! Light voice wants me to kill that?! You have got to be shitting me! It is huge! Colossus even.
Day Nine
Battle ended… Well I guess. Don't remember much after I killed him. I know he fell down, black covered him, and worms started to come out. Thought that was kind of creepy so I ran away. I think they got me though. That is the part I don't remember. But I woke up in the castle/temple/thing so it must be all good.
Voice boy told me about my next monster. Didn't really pay much attention seeing as he told me lies last time. Besides I have my pretty light sword to tell me where to go.
Day Eleven
Woke up in the castle/temple/thing again with a major head ache. Must be from last monster battle. Of course this guy was a pussy. He wouldn't even try to stomp on me. Shooting him on the bottom of the foot was a pain in the ass though. Then stabbing him in the ass… I would rather not relive that one.
Anyway, he is dead and just like last time black worms attacked me, and I woke up on the ground. Had some dust in my hair and realized that while I was taking my two day long power nap the statue of my last brute was exploding.
Voice is telling me of my next foe. I think I will take a day off. He isn't the boss of me. I can do what I want.
Day Fourteen
This whole waking up back in the castle/temple/thing without knowing how I got here, and without my horse is really starting to annoy me.
Anyway, last battle was a bitch. The dude had a sword! A five story sword that he swung at me! And hit me with… not actually sure how I survived that. I mean I am only human. Oh well, I'm alive, he is dead, who cares.
Of course running up his sword was pretty fun, and there is no better feeling than blood on your face in the morning (got an early start that day. Might have wanted to wait until afternoon because the water was freaking cold). Could have done without the ghost worms, but whatever. I was able to outrun them for a while, and I have now learned that water slows them down, but there is no way I can fully outrun them. Damn things. Oh well, another one is dead, and I am that much closer to getting my chick back.
Day Sixteen
Once again I have awoken in the temple/castle/thing. Big surprise there. No horse, one less statue, and man do I need a shower. It has been… sixteen days since my last one, and I smell pretty fresh. Oh, and like monster blood. Lots and lots of monster blood.
Last battle was against a giant horse. Lucky for me he couldn't run as fast as your run of the mill horse, and horses don't carry swords, so it wasn't to bad. Did have to climb up his ass thought. What is it with these colossi and their asses? If I have to deal with one more monster ass I'm going to get pretty angry.
Day Eighteen
Flying colossi suck. Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, SUCK! You have to shoot them while they are flying to provoke them into attacking you so you can jump on them, and then you have to make sure you don't fall to your doom. And let me tell you something! Falling to your doom isn't fun, and I will tell you why a) the fall back to earth just sucks, b) because you have to then get back on, and c) it takes all that much longer.
The voice in the light is telling me about my next foe. Something about this… Oh never mind. I don't really pay attention. Besides my sword never lies to me.
Day Twenty
Glad I don't have the ability to grow a beard because I wouldn't want little blood covered me climbing on it to stab me in my glowing tattoos. Oh yeah, killed the last colossus by climbing up his beard. I'm glad these colossi have no sense of personal hygiene, or fashion sense. If they did it would make my job all that much harder. It is bad enough that I have to spend all of my time trying to kill things 100x's my size, but if there was no way to climb and kill them… That would suck.
When I woke up back in the temple/castle/thing I went to take a look at my next "foe". It's a fucking snake. I hate snakes.
