Colossus 1

It turns out that I am controlling the Emo kid, not the horse - darn.

Press Triangle to jump on my horse ride out.  Once outside, press circle to see my beam. As I press the circle button I can't help but say "by the power of grey skull" The light says go straight south.

Continue south and ride up the stairs, start of the cinematic.... cue the oboe, it must signify me. Like peter and the wolf. 

Follow the on-screen instructions as they do a better way of explaining how to get around this part than I could. The only tricky part is when you get to the ridge that overlooks the valley; there will be a large stone with a hand grip around it.  Jump up press R1 to grab a hold of the hand grip and shimmy around to the back side of the stone.  Jump backwards and onto the path. 

When you climb up to the top you can hear the colossus. And you see him walk by. 

He is impressively big. 
As he walks he kicks up a lot of dust - if I don't bring him down the
EPA will surly regulate the crap out of him. 
They could make him wear mud flaps at least.

Kill Colossus #1:

Check his left back foot - that unfortunate patch of hair is your ticket onto this beast.  Can you imagine the outright disgustingness if you had hair on the back of your ankle.  Jump up and grab a hold of that hair patch.  Seriously, yuck.

If you have your sword equipped, you will see a faint turquoise symbol that looks like something my Grandma would have hung on her wall.  I think she may have bought it at a Santa Fe Indian art fair.  Anyway stab it by tapping the X button once to charge your stab.  Wait until you grunt then tap X again to stab right in.

Next, climb up his leg and right onto his hairy ass (no really he has a hairy ass) [the kids reading this are like he just said ass]. Continue up to the small shelf on his back.  You will need to rest here until your pink stamina bladder recharges.

Climb up his back to his shoulders.  Stand up there again if you need to rest.

Move ups to his head. 
His face is actually kinda cute.  At his bald spot there is another Indian Art fair design.  Stab it to bring him down.

Cinematic: The colossus dying.  I feel bad for killing him.  He really didn't do anything to me.  And I didn't see him doing anything bad to
anyone else.

Black worms enter up into my being via my chakra points.  Hair still looks totally kick.

Save screen - I pick slot 1. 1 Defeated.
