-- Colossi # 6 (c06)-
The voices are back and say "kill the one under the
table." I am now not killing just Colossuses but also drunks.
We are now one third of the way through this game which
means it is time for a desert level.
When transitioning out of the grassland level and into the desert the
sunlight blooms and there is no music. I
pretty much see only my horse and hear just its beating hooves. I am going to switch out of irony mode now
and say that was one of the coolest effects I have seen in a video game in a
long time. I am turning around now to do
it again.
Pull up to the temple in the rocks. The game's designers totally copied and
pasted from the “The Treasury” in Petra,
Jordan (search
it on Wikipedia). You may have
recognized it as the place where they get the grail in Indiana Jones and the
Last Crusade. Jump over the blocks as you descend - note the awkward pounding
foot effects they chose.
Cinematic: Panning shot of the temple.
Purpose of cinematic: This temple is deep and you are
small.
Walk to the ledge and hold R1. Let go of R1 then press it again to
systematically and totally impossibly descend to the bottom.
Cinematic: The wall lowers and the Alan Parsons Parson's
project song "Sirus" slowly builds.
The colossus struts out like he is starting center for the Bulls. It is totally sweet.
The colossus actually had a starring roll as Gorax from
the 1984 made-for-TV movie "The Ewok Adventure".
-------------------------------------------
Kill Colossus #6:
At the far end of the basin is a series of columns. Run towards it, you will need to jump over
several of the temporary walls to get there.
They are temporary because this Colossus will knock them down.
When you get to the columns just hide out there. He bends his head down to look for you. Jump onto his beard and climb to the top of
his head. Realize that most of these
giants would not be so vulnerable if they just practiced better personal
hygiene.
He is bald and that spot is once again the weakness. How
about that irony, because he had too much facial hair you were able to get
access to him and because he has too little scalp hair you are able to stab him
in the brain. Some guys never catch a
break.
Climb down to his lower back and stab him there a few
times. He has bad kidneys.
He will go down.
-------------------------------------------
I sympathize with this colossus more than any of the
other ones. He reminds me of most guys:
living in a slightly dank pit, a little lacking in grooming, and clumsily
kicking over stuff.
This giant represents the brutish ways of men. And, in order to find love we have to conquer
our inner hairy, clumsy selves and be a bit more rational, sensitive, and
clean. If you are playing this game and
have not yet shaved/bathed, do so now.
Then tell a girl you love her. See you next level.
