Shadow Of The Colossus: Every Colossus Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Cenobia (Colossus #14)

Shadow Of The Colossus Cenobia
Bluepoint Games

Cenobia is probably the most ambitious and intimidating encounter in the entire game, as it sees the player taking on another small colossus, but this time the fight spills throughout a sparse land of ruins.

First off, Cenobia is a nasty creature and doesn't suffer fools lightly: let it, and it'll tackle you repeatedly until you're dead, so you need to keep on your toes and make judicious use of L2 to keep an eye on the colossus at all times.

Ultimately, though, it's not that tough, simply requiring the player to climb various platforms and provoke Cenobia into collapsing them in its rage. Eventually, it'll hit the wrong pillar and collapse some ruins onto its back, breaking its armour, and allowing you to attack the weakness.
