Yeah, it definitely would’ve been interesting to see how Sirius would’ve played in the final version. Maybe we can eventually see that if they ever decide to release a new version of SOTC that includes the early designs that the developers intended to make an appearance. Who knows…

Thanks! Going back to this list, my opinions on Phalanx have definitely changed so when I do eventually go back and update this list he will for sure be getting a higher rank than he did here so keep an eye out for that. As for Malus, my opinions are pretty much the same! Great introduction and cool design, but kind of lacking imo for a final boss fight. Glad you enjoyed, keep an eye out for future content!!! 😉👍

Thanks man! I’m thinking in the future about doing an updated list since my opinions have changed slightly over the past year and a half since this was uploaded. Of course, I’ll still keep this one! But thanks again for the support, it is much appreciated!!! 😉👍

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 Would love to see it man

Thanks! I tried my best.

Also going onto your comment of "the opened way" playing for phase 2 originally it seemed the unused soundtrack "Final Battle" was supposed to be played originally but got cut out for some reason

Thank you so much for your support! Glad to see this video is still thriving even a year and a half later. And yeah, the 15th colossus will always be my personal favorite one! I also remember hearing that unused track you mentioned in your reply and yeah…I do wish we got that instead. Doesn’t take away from anything else in the fight though! For a future notice, I do plan on revisiting this game at some point in time and doing some updates to my list here since it has been awhile and a lot of my thoughts and opinions have changed regarding some of the colossi. So definitely stick around if you’re interested for whenever that comes out! Once again, thanks for the support! It is heavily appreciated!!! 😉👍

Thank you very much! It’s a classic game that I had only just started playing recently in 2020. I definitely recommend playing it if you have the opportunity. I also had this idea on my mind for awhile now but I wasn’t sure how to execute it for the longest time. But boy when I did it sure felt great and I’m glad people are liking it. Thank you so much man, I appreciate all the support!

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 No problem. Keep up the good work.

It all just comes down to personal opinions at the end of the day! A colossi that I might find enjoyable, you might find annoying. A colossi that you might find enjoyable, I might find annoying. And that’s totally fine if you disagree with me! But I will admit, it has been a couple years since I last played this game so my opinions in this video are bound to change. I would like to make an updated list at some point in the future as there were some rankings I made that I might not agree with much anymore. Keep an eye out for when that happens and thanks for commenting! 😉👍

Thanks bud! It took forever.

LOL!!! I know right?! (P.S. I do plan on doing an updated version of this list sometime in the future. Thanks for your support!)

​@@TheDreadfulReaper02im subbing then

Thank you so very much!!! I also have a Facebook Page that I’ll link below as well. If you don’t mind, I would definitely appreciate a follow there as well. But you don’t have to… facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088712976129&mibextid=2JQ9oc

YES!!! I will never understand why he gets such disrespect from most people in the community.

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 like of course it finna be hard, it's the second to last colossi! Like what did you expect!

Exactly! I understand people have their opinions but what makes a game interesting is if there is a challenge involved. Was he difficult to figure out? Yes! Does that make him a bad colossus? Of course not! And it’s exactly like you mentioned, he’s the 2nd to last colossus encounter so of course the challenge is most certainly warranted! I feel like if they had just gotten a bit more creative with Malus, then maybe he could’ve topped Argus position on my list. But unfortunately, they didn’t…😔

Yeah, sometimes I found trying to make it get close enough so you can climb it a bit tedious. But overall, not a horrible fight!

Yeah, I never knew too much about the scrapped final boss of this game but it wasn’t until recently that I had found out that there was one. I actually had never known until now that it’s name was Hogroma which is interesting. Some of the other cut colossi it seems were just now getting confirmed names, like the Monkey colossus I believe was named Saru. Would’ve been interesting to see how that early final boss would’ve played as well. There’s nothing wrong with Demise of the Ritual itself, I just wish that they threw in some other tracks as well. I did actually get to listen to that Final Battle track you mentioned because someone actually made a video replacing The Opened Way in Argus’ battle with that said OST. There’s actually quite a few tracks that were removed from the game which is all pretty interesting. But again, while all the SOTC music is magnificent I just wish that some music placements had been adjusted a little better.

I’m not sure if you tried to reply back to my response…but for some reason, KZfaq is saying that there are now 2 replies on this comment even though on my side, it only shows my response. It must be due to a glitch!

@@MistaCoconutTheClassic Nevermind, I just found your comment! I’ll have to check that out.

Actually, looking back, i don’t think Hogroma is it’s real name… It’s just Evis.

I didn’t know you could skip all of the towers in Cenobia’s battle! Admittedly, it has been awhile since I last played this game but maybe next time I face Cenobia I’ll have to try that out for myself. Thanks for commenting!!!

Thanks so much! This is my proudest video yet, no doubt about it.

That’s totally understandable!

Thanks man! Yeah, it’s definitely one of my most underrated opinions but Argus is and will always be my favorite colossus. Pretty much all the lists I’ve seen always trash it for the reasons I mentioned which I think is really unfair. Sure, I get it’s not everyone’s favorite colossus definitely but in my opinion it really should’ve been the last colossus you fought to be honest.

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 Those reasons are probably a result of them playing it on the PS3 remaster

I’ve actually never played that version but would absolutely love to at some point. (Same for the PS2 version even though I have played it, just never owned an original copy) plus I still need to play ICO and The Last Guardian as I’ve heard that all three stories are somewhat connected in a way.

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 I am warning you, do not do that to yourself and try the PS3 version. Especially on hard mode

Yeah! Well maybe at some point they’ll decide to bring back ICO for the PS4 as I think that’s the only one of the three that has yet to be brought back for newer consoles (asides from the PS3 of course)

I agree as well! Argus is also one of the only colossi that has a unique soundtrack. Not like Malus didn’t either, but I personally think Argus’s is better overall!

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 completely agree

Yeah, I only prefer Celosia more over Cenobia mainly due to the fact that I found the fight less frustrating. I just found Cenobia most disappointing towards the end of the game in my opinion. I’ll admit, looking back on this list I don’t hate Cenobia as much as I had said I did in this video (which if I ever make an update in the future you’ll see why) but I still consider it to be one of the worst fights in the game personally. I’ve actually considered going back and updating this list for a future video as some of my opinions here have changed a bit regarding certain colossi. Personally though, even if Agro isn’t required for Phaedra’s fight I still think it’s the worst one in the game for me.

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 OK, that's entirely fair then. And it's fine to say that about Phaedra. I just wanted to throw that correction and say Agro isn't important to that fight like you said she was.

No worries! I get where you’re coming from. Being honest, this video was tough to put together so mistakes like that were bound to happen. Not only was it a struggle to figure out where I should rank all 16 colossi but at the time of recording this video I also was really sick with COVID. If you listen to my voice during my voiceover on Argus you might could tell by how congested my voice sounded. I think at some point in the future, I’m going to do an update on my ranking list and fix certain spots where I feel they should no longer be. For example: instead of putting Phalanx at number #7, I would actually move it to the top 5 as I’ve really come to appreciate it more. With that being said, thanks for taking the time to watch my video and comment. It really does help me out!

I just found their fights to be some of the most frustrating in the entire game for me personally…

@The Dreadful Reaper yeah that's fair. The main reason I really like cenobia is the fact that I really like the concept, visuals, and the gameplay. I think it is one of the most unique bosses in the entire game. I also never had any of the ai issues personally, so that may be why I like them more

True! I’ve also heard that the type of A.I issues and climbing problems depend on which version of the game you play. For me personally, I’m mostly familiar with the PS4 remake! I have played the PS2 version a long time ago but I was EXTREMELY young and wasn’t even remotely ready for a type of game like this. As for the PS3 version, that’s the only one that I have yet to play!

Yeah, he was not my favorite one either! The only thing he really had going for him was his design but, I feel like Quadratus is just an overall better version of him imo.

@@TheDreadfulReaper02 Agreed
