12. Barba (Colossus #6)

After the sheer bada**ery of the previous colossus Avion, pretty much any other battle would suffer, but it's a shame that such an unremarkable creature was placed after it.

Barba is at least memorable for a few reasons: it's a colossi you fight inside, and it's got an awesome, huge beard that's instrumental to winning the battle.

There's some cool destruction porn at the start of the fight as Barba wrecks the ruins behind you, but the solution is fairly obvious (hide under the pillars at the end of the room and climb his beard), and it just feels like a bit of a step back after the more complex colossus that came before it.,

It probably should've been the fifth colossus, but overall it's basically fine.
