Kuromori is by far one of the game's most divisive colossi, in large part because the fight can drag on infuriatingly long if you're not exactly sure of what you're doing.

The solution isn't really an obvious one: you have to fire arrows at him to taunt him into scaling the arena's walls, then find safe refuge from his fiery mist, shoot arrows at his legs which causes him to fall, quickly leap down onto him and attack his weak points.

Kuromori tends to recover fairly quickly from his fall, so this will take multiple attempts, which can make it feel a little repetitive if you're not moving fast. But that moment of realisation when you finally crack his weakness is incredibly satisfying.
