missed that part interesting

What’s the secret?

The door and the sword is the secret. There are 79 small fragments of light you can find around the world of this game which allow you to find what's behind this door. Dedicated Players and fans were intrigued by the door as there is no way devs would add it in the game just for no reason.

Uhh no this is only in the crappy ps4 remake version of the game.

@Upside down pankake 2233 I guess it's alright if you never played the original or cant get a ps2 copy or emulate the original. The remake lost all its atmosphere and the new graphics are ugly, emulating the original ps2 version is far better visually because its the game directors intent its what the game is supposed to look like, you just really dont get the same experience playing the remake. The monster and most building textures look too clean for being ancient and they messed up wanders face terribly. The dark smoke/fog effect of the shadow figures in the temple look really bad in the remake and dont come across creepy like they do in the original. The games lighting in general is of a poorer quality or at very least not as well utilised within ingame scenes. The arbitrary decision to change certain visual effects the colossi use from a feint eery ethereal white to a disgusting bright orange puke color was also stupid and further ruins the aesthetics. Shoe horned in easter eggs further diminish the game.

there was no secret in the original game they added the lights ro the remake to make fanboys buy it nothing more than that

@Pearlescent Moon it wasnt found. It was added in the remake

@@rudrod95_41 it was only added because everyone was looking for something to find for so many years in the old version

@@jazzgames5013 no duh

Nameless Queen there was already an ICO reference on the beach, it could be hinting at something more to do with the story

@@machoman4247 you also do realize that there is a bunch of ico clues in the original game aswell including the beach thing. Such as the Queen's sword, the circles in the ground in phalanx's lair, among you know wander Turing into the horned boy in ico. Shadow of the Colossus is a prequel to ico

Nick Englehart I know that as I’m a huge fan of the series but that horn in the basement seems to add something more to the story, implying that wander wasn’t the first of the horned children

Nick Englehart or even a possible backstory to dormin

@@machoman4247 ico literally says that any horned children end up in that castle all those cauldron you see in the beginning are of horned children, now was domin one of them that is up for debate, though I doubt it as it is of his magic that which comes the horns that's why people are afraid of children with horns maybe as a child dormin had them and any future child with them will grow to have great power idk and no one will probably ever know unless ueda revisits the land, but again unlikely as he left that place with the last guardian as there were very little clues to be connected to the other games.

You forgot the colossus by the gysers shoots electricity, the gas from the lizard colossus, the electricity of the eel colossus, most grounded colossi deal damage with their movements if you're close enough, and actual attacks from colossi. But yeah, the sword is worth it if you have a lot of health.

Hey Dirge would like to know your location.

It especially feels bad after you feel how they feel with wonder shooting and stabbing them the way the knights do at the end of the game.

It probably points at the colossus nothing much

OMMGGGG

Thats actually epic Imagine a DLC with this bro

Let's just be happy we got the ending we did as opposed to your generic happy ending that doesn't fit the bleak somberness of the story the entire games been telling. Argo actually being dead instead of just limping is the only improvement

Stronger that the Queen's Sword, but reduces health regen.

same

That wasn't a sigil...

@@ziggyzaggs4949 technically it IS a sigil. Just a minor one though

I did the same, I just killed the colossi, that was it

Yea pretty much I thought the only upgrades you get are from colossus but now I know

Its only in the remastered

New game plus

You don't need the new game + for that. I had full life just by eating the fruits in trees on the first game....

Christopher Bocquillion you need new game plus for all that stamina though ;)

@@webby1450 stamina yes of course. You need to do the game 3 or 4 times but he was talking about life :-)

You can only access it after getting over 70 shining stones or something. It's widely considered the greatest search for secrets in the community, since it took a long while and a helluva lot of map exploration to find every single one.

Ita from the PS4 version (a REALLY SHOT OUT FOR THE DEVS) and correcting the guy above this comment: The 79** steps to enlightment

@Villansmasher 2 thats make the thing frustrating...because who doesn't know about it have to restart again the bosses fight. There are only 2 coins bosses that you can collect using a sort of "shortcut" in time attack mode. The dirge boss coim (inside rock sand) and the 14th boss in the broken city. For the others you have to use parachute which on time attack mode you cant

What do you mean

@@pumpkinboi2701 They added this secret room only in the Remake. The original doesn't have it.

I just beat gaius today on hard mode. I almost stopped playing the game. Hardest thing I've ever done in a video game and I've played all the soulsborne games. He shakes sooooo much

I can't even think about finding all the coins

Rudrod95 _ Sammeeee Im on Kuromori. But I also have to do the normal mode ones because stupid me forgot to do them when I played the first time.

@@hidden_animator522 which one is kuromori? I just started playing about 2 weeks ago. Oh yeah i thought hard mode would give everything but it doesnt which is weird. I just started a new game + on normal, then as soon as i beat all 16 in time trial, started a new game + in hard mode on that same file. So i didn't have to beat the game again. I don't know if everyone already knows that but in case it helps you haha I cant wait to get revenge on normal boss fight gaius with my freaking thunder harpoon. I won't have to get anything but his head with my sword. It'll feel so good

Rudrod95 _ He is the large lizard- the Wall Shadow. He spits fireballs

E d e n D e s t r o y e r I’m see this 480p looks good wtf

It was only in the remake

ps4

if you mean in one(first walkthrough) gameplay then no, coz you need to climb the shrine of worship to get one of the coin. you need to finish multiple walkthrough to get enough stamina to climb the shrine of worship and the others, i dont remember much.

There's one you need the parachute to get to it, and you get that from time attack runs I think

The answer is no.

You sadly can't because you need to climb the shrine of worship and multiple of the coins require you to use the parachute. Also 3 coins are unreachable without engaging in a reminiscence mode or regular fight with colossus 15.

TheSpiderPlayer yes

Radman Kurze dammit also I saw that I have to replay the game multiple times on each difficulty is that true

TheSpiderPlayer To be more specific you shalt need to find all 79 coins scattered across the game to get the blade.

Aside from all the extra items in the time trial mode, this was added in the remake as a reward for all those who kept trying to find secrets in the game. It's just an extra unlockable

@@PMZaphod The sword is actually more of a nod towards the youtuber Nomad because he was such a big influence in the SoTC community, the devs who remastered the game said so themselves.

@@gabrielebrodo3197 No it's just hard mode.

he’s a small dude cut him some slack

Just ps4

It's a new addition to this version

It is new to this version you must collect 79 enlightment coin scattered in not so easy places. It is a reference or homage to nomad Colossus a big contributer in the SOTC community who has found many of the games secrets and deleted content of the game including the 8 cut colossi having their possible names and location of them which they are: the devil, the pheonix, the worm, the spider, the monkey, the griffon, the reaper bird, and the bull. Bluepoint actually reached out to nomad to help with them I believe he said why 79 and why the locations of which he put them but I can't remember. But in the credits you can see in the special thanks it says thanks to nomad and his 79 steps to enlightment.

@@nickenglehart6469 i wonder how "nomad" got the deleted content in his hands? dev kit tool from a developer member laptop that was discharged or so?

@@KFPSplayer beta and demo disc's. As well as hacking to see certain areas. Also there have been a couple of development book detailing the process of the game which states the original idea for 48 colossi to which was cut in half, then cut to sixteen, but said that concept and program for some of them before the cut to 16 had already been made.

Nick Englehart 1. hm, then how he got the beta disc since it was only accessible for trusted circles ? 2. When they did a remastered for PS4, then why they didn’t use the colosses that didn’t made into the original ps2 game? I mean this would just have been more as fair for the community as just adding the little cave with sword. It’s really not that much since you said some concept and programm were already made? It’s really mind boggling me...

Bindass Gaming find all 79 shining coins around the map. Have fun.

I would just look up a KZfaq tutorial, it'll probably be much easier :)

Here's a basic walkthrough from where you're at: 1. Begin a new game plus on any difficulty that isn't easy mode. 2. If normal mode, press r2 at each of the statues in the spawn area. It will allow you to fight the colossus in time attack mode. If you beat the colossus within the goal time, you win the time attack round. Do this for each of the 16 statues and you will get some items. 3. If you began a game in hard mode, don't pray at the statues(it won't let you do time attack). Instead, play through all 16 colossi. After that, begin a new game+ and follow the directions of step 2. 4. You will notice that you now have a whole bunch more items. There are 2 that you will need(1 more than the other). The parachute and Queen's Sword. The parachute(Cloth of Desperation) is directly needed for multiple of these little coins that you have to find(in a later step). The Queen's Sword is a very damaging sword that will instakill a glyph with a good stab. Equip the Queen's Sword and go ham on the colossi until you've completed 3 and a half playthroughs at least. 5. You're now done preparing to get the Sword of Dormin. There are 79 relics that you need to get to acquire the sword. Look up a video guide on them. I recommend the one by PS5Trophies. It's very detailed. 6. Once you get all 79 of the relics or coins, go to the glyph panel on the outside of the spawn area that has a gold shimmer to it. Press r2 at it and it will open up. The Dormin Sword is now yours for the taking.

good luck.

I think in the lore it makes sense as it's Dormins power You want power u need to give up something In return Like the quest in order to revive the girl u need to kill 16 colossi Plus this is a nod to a PlayStation forum theorizing about the last secret of this game and the devs put the sword in here for that reason Secret Seekers

actually this sword meant a way lot more than what it just was in game, it meant everything because this is what the secret seekers were looking for, for a long ass time too. this was something sentimental for the people that searched for this and made so many theories and spent countless hours in the game to find this easter egg.

No, this is in PS4

What a stupid question mate

I think he was asking if the sword was in the original ps2 version, which it wasn't, so he didn't really ask a stupid question

@@markmiller330 after reading the comment again i realize you are right. My bad, and sorry liquid snake. And no, it is not in the original ps2 game. It was included in the remastered versión to honor the thousands of secret seekers that this game has.

Ohhh. Have you never played Shadow of the Colossus. In truth no one knows why. It's just an excuse to bring you back to the center of the map

@@aceragnarok9451 I played I Vu never beat it cuz my PS3 broke, but I've never seen that happen before.

Ace Ragnarok I don’t want to spoil the end of the game for anyone , but it should be easy for people to gather on their own as to why that happens. Hell somewhere in the middle you’ll notice he clearly doesn’t look the same but the darkness that he draws in has to do with the seal!

He gets possessed little by little by every Colossus he kills. All fragments of dormin are each colossus you kill, and every Colossus you kill means a fragment of the player goes into him so until the last colossus is killed dormin gets resurrected all at the cost of bringing a girl back to life (which the player is not aware of and does not care to know because his only priority is resurrecting the girl)

@@blacktalon1607 that's also why you see his appearance change each colossus you kill (if you pay attention)

Yes, but it's all about the ever changing challenge that each colossus has. Plus the game is nostalgic at this point being released 3 times in its lifespan so far.

not one but 16 colossus, and a lot hidden secrets, and a nice story with no words said.

16 colossi and a gigantic world filled with nothing more then visual storytelling, strangely well crafted areas nobody in their right mind would go to All on the PS2 Remake loses a lot of the atmosphere from the PS2 original sadly enough
