Hey everybody. I don’t know why this works so well but I have found that right as you press the Square button to lift/prepare your sword it helps A LOT to tilt the left stick in the direction of your sword(almost like holding the stick to add force to the stabbing). I have found that you maintain solid footing far better when he’s shaking if you hold the left stick same direction as your sword as you’re waiting to charge for the attack. Now, make sure you let go of the stick AFTER you stab, otherwise you will lose stamina faster because you’ll then be trying to move around. After i discovered this i did it on the first try. Hope this helps. Edit 05-27-2020: I'm really glad to have helped everyone. I've read a lot of comments and i have no idea why or how it helps but it does for some weird reason lol.

@CorundumDevil 3 жыл бұрын

The reason that Gaius is such a challenge in Time Attack is one of the game's most glaring flaws: _too much_ of the battle's pace depends on the behavior of the AI. It _is_ challenging and fun to climb your way up this big bastard (sometimes); it is *not* fun or challenging when the Colossus is moving around so much that you literally cannot hang on long enough, simply by the fact that the game's engine is not giving you a fair opportunity to attack. I completely understand the challenging elements of the game and how they are meant to push the player's capability. I do not share this sentiment when I have successfully climbed the Colossus, positioned myself safely and correctly over the sigil, and the only thing preventing me from progressing is my attack button's non-functionality, dependent entirely on whether or not the Colossus wants to move around longer than I can hold my grip.

I have done the hard time attacks twice now and this is how I rate them for difficulty. Some I found easier second time, some harder. In order of difficulty; 3. An absolute pain and you need a lot of luck with this one. Horrible and the hardest for me by a mile. 15. First time around it took me dozens of tries but I did it reasonably quickly second time. Can be a major pain. 12. Can be VERY frustrating and shakes a lot. This was difficult both times and took me a good few attempts. 16. A long slog to get to the top of this colossus and a nuisance if you fall off. 4. For some reason it took me ages first time. It just wouldn't look for me in the tunnels. Did it quickly second time around. 6. Shook me all over the place first time around. Again, did it quicker second time. 7. Just kept running out of time first time but did it straight away second time around. 9. Can be a time consumer trying to get this colossus to stand over the gushing geyser. 8. Kept getting blasted by this first time but again much easier second time. 13. Quite a long battle and hard at times to shoot the bags underneath. I do like this colossus though. 10. I found this very hit and miss and I did need a few attempts. Always seem to aim for it's left eye. 14. A long slog to finally battle this colossus but not too bad when it's armour is destroyed. 5. Just try and keep cool with this one as it is easy to fall off into the water. Take your time is the best advice I can give here. 11. You can get battered by this and the hard part is picking up the stick. I did it quickly both times. 2. Not too difficult really but much more of a challenge on hard. 1. Again much harder on hard but not too bad.

My strategie: Once the colossi hits the metallic platform, he should attack once again right aftet the cutscene. You have like three seconds to jump. Once you are up there, follow this route: navel first, then arm and finally head. Navel, easy. The arm you should try to jump to the platform around the hips and back (if you fall you most likely will star over again, so take the risk). When hitting the head, I tried to attack the back of the head, and releasing after the attack, so the colossi wouldn't shake his head. If you are hanging in front of his face, try to jump back to the back of his neck/head. And remember, don't give up!!

@StefanNorlin 6 жыл бұрын

The sword jump is the hardest way to complete the trophy for not breaking the armor. Instead just run up the sword like you usually would, and then jump over to his thigh/leg and he will lower his arm enough for you to jump back to the arm and land ON TOP of the armor that was blocking the way up the arm.

@OldGayGamer 6 жыл бұрын

I have beaten the game 3 times, completed all 16 normal time attacks, many of the hard time attacks, gotten almost every trophy including the resist the wrist one related to gaius, but gaius hard time attack is the first time I've been stuck on the game so far. I tried this for 2 hours yesterday and 1 hour so far today. I keep trying to copy this video exactly, but I keep running into the same problems. The first problem is that gaius will end up shaking for so long that I run out of stamina. Sometimes I will go for his vital with full stamina and not even be able to get one hit before having to try to retreat and rest. Which leads to my second problem. When I'm climbing on his far and he starts shaking, wander will flip over so that when gaius finally stops shaking I am facing in a direction that I cannot climb in, and I cannot turn around, so I'm just stuck. When I push in the direction I want to climb, wander will not turn around if he is facing the opposite direction, and he won't crawl backwards. He just grunts and jerks until my stamina is gone. I'm curious how many tries this took you, because there are 4 parts in this video where you run into problems that required you to jump or let go and you just kind of lucked out at the results. I get lucky once in a while, but so far I haven't gotten lucky enough in one attempt to avoid falling off. Despite dozens of attempts, I haven't even taken out his left arm yet because I can't climb back up it when my stamina gets low. The furry area on his arm is narrow, so when gaius shakes it's very easy to get stuck facing the wrong direction and as I said before, I can't turn around. There has to be something I'm missing here. I've tried letting go and grabbing again right away, I've tried taking my thumb off of the stick to attempt to re-center it, I've tried manipulating the camera to alter the direction reference, but none have worked. If there's a special trick to get out of the problem I keep having, please share it!

For 3 hours i was trying to deal with this bull**it and finally did it...and i tell you how i did it. First of all, deal with his arm bracelet(it will take around 1:00-1:15) then go up on him, but don't go for head, deal with his stomach first, then jump from stomach platform on arm and back in his top to deal with head, and only after head deal with arm spot. I did the last spot on arm with almost zero stamina.. in the last second or two.

@osiride 6 жыл бұрын

I still think the easiest way is without breaking his arm-thing. For two reason: 1) faster 2) seems like he shake his head wayyyy less than normal, I was able to beat him in under 5 min. So as soon as the fight starts, walk straight for like 2 meters, start shooting arrows on his chest, he will make two steps and slam the sword. Run on the sword, wait for him to raise you. At this point, JUMP on his right leg, and get on too of the little thing he has there. He will low his arm, and you will jump on it getting on his head in under 45 seconds! From here its all the same, head->torso-> arm. Trust me he is wayyy more relaxed if you dont break his thing

@FNaFiplierthon 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah. I got the trophy for that one, but the problem is you have to jump over the armour on his head which can mess you up and you have to do it all again - yet it helps with resting as you don't need to worry about him shaking if you stand against the rock

@N00BPUN1SH3R 2 жыл бұрын

Have just managed this after 3.5 hours of trying! Couple of extra tips, don't climb fully on top of Gaius' head, be sitting on the back od his head with the sword near his crown, that way when he's doing a shake, you MIGHT not get thrown off balance so quick and you might be able to get in a 2nd stab quickly (emphasis on the MIGHT here) Tip for the left arm vital - after the head vital is done, go and crouch on his right shoulder, this can cause him to lean forward and lift his left arm backwards, it basically creates a walkway from where you are to the vital! So you don't have to worry wasting stamina climbing to it, or attempt a tactical fall-and-grab (the latter made me fall off of Gaius entirely too often) Hope this is helpful and GOOD LUCK

Rather than standing on the top of his head, it’s better to hang on near the back of it, just where you can still reach the sigil. This lets you have more stab opportunities, since even when he’s shaking his head around you still have a firm footing most of the time. Also makes it easier to let go and recharge your grip since you’ll just fall on his back. It’s a bit difficult to position yourself correctly, though.

@PrinceAlberts 4 жыл бұрын

I finally managed to do this, but it took me a week and a half. When I climbed to his shoulders he would try to shake me off. At the end of his shake his left arm was almost level with his back and found that I can get to the weak point very easily, so I did that first. With my sword out, I could jump to the sigil, and staying to the left I wouldn’t slip off as much. When doing his head, don’t touch his horns, that makes him shake more. Stay toward the back of his head, near the middle of the sigil. I did the stomach last.

For anyone having trouble with the head shaking, as soon as you climb up his arm, go and grab his top right shoulder. He should then look down and as soon as you see him do it, climb up to his head and get 3-4 good hits on it. Rinse and repeat until you have the back and left arm left! No tips for that though, seems to be complete bullshit

Ideas Hit his neck while standing on his back to make staying on him during stamina regain a bit easier, he won’t be as rough with his GET OFF ME movements from walking and will have a minor grace period soon after the head shake ends, giving regain a bit more time Also, don’t try to stab unless you know Wander can’t be shaken in quick succession after a shake finishes, let him play out his animation until his feet have properly landed on whatever you climb, then go for whatever strike you can if the enemy intends to to multi succession shakes

What worked for me after so many failed attempts was: take out stomach weak point first, go for the arm weak point (by jumping from the platform around its waist) but don’t completely finish it - leave enough stamina to reach its shoulders. Take out the head weak spot, then return to finish off the arm.

Honestly, it's his walking animation that makes this fight frustrating. Even though he barely seems to shake when he walks, each step he takes will interrupt what you're doing. *Do not use charge stabs as he's walking unless you aren't getting stunned by his steps - somehow*. It's when he stops to shake you off that you get your moment to attack. When you're on his stomach, he'll try to shake you off but you'll be A-OKAY to attack, even though he's shaking like mad. But when you're on his stomach and he walks? Barely shaking at all BUT YOU CAN'T ATTACK. I had really good luck with his head and his arm, fell off trying to jump from the arm to his stomach, and had barely enough time to run up and finish him off. It took maybe 30-45 min but I got him.

Every colossi wiggles so much more in the time attacks, it's unbearably frustrating, it should be fixed, it's not fun if I can never stab them, I'm on number 3 on hard and I can't beat him with that joke of a stamina bar. How are you so lucky???

Guys trust me. Go head,arm,then stomach. You're already up there when at the head so go for the arm because the climb from the stomach back to the arm will fail every time. Its takes too long

@evamarias8896 3 жыл бұрын

This guy and other colossi tbh for me aren’t to bad in theory. I know what to do for all of them and if you needed me to go from sigil to sigil as effective as possible I can do that in no time at all! BUT WANDER. I know how to manipulate their animations so I have more time on the sigils. I know the perfect routes. But it doesn’t matter when Wander gets to the sigil and is like “I’m just going to never stabilize ever.”or he grabs onto everything but the sigil (like the stone around the head- he will snap to it sometimes even tho I’m nowhere near it). He cooperates with climbing but actually stabbing the thing he can’t do for the life of him. And yes they do shake a lot but like I mentioned I figured out how to calm them down a tad. (This applies for most climbing colossi: stand on a different part -say the shoulders- until they start their shaking animation. That animation is for the shoulders so the head doesn’t move as much typically. They also won’t start their never-ending head shaking until the last animation finishes. So quickly get to the head get some damage in and once they calm down a tad retreat back to shoulders and repeat. Saves stamina and sanity) but that not the problem for me anymore with my new strategy. I watched these videos because I thought I was doing something wrong but they pretty much do what I was trying and I just have horrible Wander stabilizing luck apparently.😤 Love this game and enjoy going through casual. I never had these problems casually tbh. But golly these time trials are a pain. Time to get back to the grind-

*if anybody is still looking for these. i'm a late adopter lol* took me a few tries. but i did the sword to leg to sword to stomach. if you hang at the bottom of the stomach, he won't be able to shake you lose. then jump back to the sword arm. climb to the head. knock out the head. then drop to the arm. for some reason, it seems to be harder to shake you off on that arm. 4 tries got me to 4:40:35

If this was your first try then you got supremely lucky! I see you getting full damage on attacks just outside of the targets. That never happens for me. I either get partial damage or none at all. I've yet to find a sweet spot to stab from on his head and arm. Its shaking is incessant! 3 days since my last comment and I've yet to come within 30 seconds of the target time. At least I'm down to #3 and #8 now.

For those struggling, I absolutely love PS4 trophies, and I am so so grateful for your videos. USE THESE GUIDES. If you're going to do this method, this video is 100% the best one out there. HOWEVER, in my humble opinion, this is the only one where I think there is a better alt method. Personally, I wouldn't break his wrist guard. After struggling to get his head done in the time, I did this and he shakes FAR less. It's very noticeable It worked 4 times in a row, didn't die once. Method is below. - From launch, don't move and shoot arrows at him. Get him to come very close to you. - When he's by you, run away from him and go a bit to the left or right of the metal circle. He'll still do the long range attack where you can climb up the sowrd, but it won't break his guard. - Don't bother doing the sword jump. Instead, make sure you are grabbing the left or right side edge. When he brings the sword up, climn up. - Quickly jump to the closest leg. Then wait patiently, and get a full jump prepped. Eventually he'll bring his arm closer in. Simply jump over, and you're good to go. - The Head > Bicep > Waist order is still the best way. I just noticed the shaking was about 50% better, if not even more. Like I said, I did it countless time in a row to test it. Hope it helps someone and again, use his guides as they are phenomenal :)

You speed runners make this look SO easy. I've lost count on how many attempts I've tried on this. (Hard mode) . Some runs, I can get his head sigil done 8-9 hits) and it's fine...other attempts, he won't stop shaking his @#$&ing head. Then I'll try to get to his arm but he keeps shaking it and if I try risking letting go to land in the exact spot at his tricept, it misses most of the time and I fall to the ground OR, I'll make it...but stamina runs out SO fast and I can't get to a recharge spot in time and fall. And if I DO get to the recharge spot...he shakes his arm SO much and I fall off (stamina already low and I'm holding on for dear life). Frig, this guy is difficult!!

@PENUMBRAL_VI4II3 6 ай бұрын

Late to the party I know but I just started playing this game not long ago and after finally beating this poorly designed pile of trash I feel obligated to give an in depth recounting of how I did it for the sake of anyone that has yet to attempt this platinum. First off preform the wrist skip which you can learn how to do by watching a video by a guy with the username bayjax. Title of the video is very simple resist the wrist trophy guide. As soon as you’ve done that climb up his arm as fast as you can then stop and recoup your stamina on his right shoulder. Once you’ve done that position yourself on gaius’s head and grab on just before the week point and proceed to attack it with half charged stabs and jump onto his back if you need to once again regain some stamina. Once that weak points delt with go back to his right shoulder and grab on until he begins to raise his left arm then quickly rush over and jump as close to the weak point as possible. If you landed on the weak point immediately start half charging stabs if not position yourself then do so. If you landed on the weak point you will likely destroy the weak point without needing to refill your stamina but if you had to position yourself self first you may need to climb back on his back for a moment. Once that weak spots done for climb back on his back and carefully slide down to the platform on his waist then make your way around to the other side and latch on to your left of the weak points centre. Then half charge stabs until the weak point is no more. Once again you may or may not need to recover some lost stamina. If follow all these steps you’ll be able to beat this guy.
