Playstation 2 : Shadow of the Colossus Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Shadow of the Colossus. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Shadow of the Colossus.
White Horse
You must first get all the items in Hard Time Attack mode. Then hold down Circle button at title screen.
Quick Stop
When galloping, simultaneously press down on the left analog stick and the X button.
Hint: 180 Turn
When galloping, simultaneously, and quickly, press down on the left analog stick and the X button twice. Argo wil stop and turn around to run the other way.
17th Colossus
To unlock the 17th colossus, beat all 4 modes. Then, climb the outside of the temple to the secret garden. The 17th colossus will appear in a short cutscene like the other colossi, smashing the rear wall. After you fight him, the path to the very top of the temple will be opened, leding to a very "special" surprise.
Ico Symbol
If you use a memory card with an Ico save-game on it, your horse Aggro will have the Ico "I" logo on its forehead as opposed to the usual mark.
Reminisce mode:
Go to the corpse of the Colossi and press Circle to pray. The graphics will change to a old film appearance.
Brown Agro:
Defeat all sixteen Colossi and unlock all items in Time Attack mode under the normal difficulty setting. Then, hold Square at the title screen.
The Food Of The Dead
Each time you beat a Colossus, your strength meter will increase. If you make it large enough, you'll be able to climb up the back of the temple you first start in. Up top, you'll find the courtyard from the end of the game and the bridge that you entered on. There isn't much to do here, but you will find some fruit in the trees. Shoot it down and eat it and you'll decrease your health and strength meters. The only reason you might want to do this is if your strength meter is getting so big it is taking up too much of your field of view.
To get there, run around behind your starting shrine. There is a patch of ivy that you can climb up. When you're climbing, jumping in a diagonal or sideways direction causes your strength meter to decrease less than a straight climb or jump. Make your way up and then around the scaffolding up to the top.
Easter Egg: Camera HiJinks
During any cinematic the right analog stick can pitch and yaw the view. R1 and R2 zooms in and out. Now you can get pictures of those naughty bits.
Hard difficulty:
Successfully complete the game and save when prompted after the credits. A new game can now be started in hard mode.
Hint: Bird Grabber
Wander can grab onto the various flying fauna in the world. Simply follow one on the horse and when the bird flies low, press JUMP to vault off the horse and hold GRAB. If your aim is true, Wander hangs onto the bird for as long as your grip meter holds out.
Hint: Stand While Riding
Press and hold R1 and X while galloping.
