Wander To Kyozou - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Wander To Kyozou - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

~~~THE SAND DRAGON~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: None
Weakspots: The bulbs under his belly
Vital Spots: Behind its wing flaps

Agro is required for this. The first part of his is mainly target practice. To
get its attention you have to shoot the bulbs under his belly with your arrows,
while riding Agro of course. Once you shoot a few of them, the colossus will
float close to the ground, giving you the chance to jump onto its back or its
wings. Near the second set of wings is a flap and an insignia. Stab it twice to
get rid of it. If you fall off, it will burrow underground, but come out later.
Get the other flaps on its mid back and on its tail and it will crash into the
desert.

---------------------------------------------
    xiv. Colossus 14: The Lion (C2)
---------------------------------------------
"Thy next foe is... A guardian set loose... A closed off city beyond the
channel... It lusts for destruction..."

The next fight is behind the temple over the corkscrew bridge (between that
rock). Head to the right when ya cross over and head for the rocky cliff in the
back. We're gonna head for where the tortoise was felled and go beyond the
geyser arena. There is a red bridge in the back on the left that you can cross.
From there, go to the left side and pass through the crevice to get up on the
rocky edge, then follow it to the right until you reach the canyon in the back.
Follow this path to the left until you come to a fork in the road. The right
leads to a save and a tree. The left goes to a cave. Enter it and you'll come
out in a sunny chamber with water in it. It's too deep for Agro so you'll be
going on alone. Cross the water and follow the path out to a cutscene of the
ruins.

You're going to have to navigate your way through this maze, but its not
incredibly difficult. First head to the left and down the rock ladder at the end
of the path. Head through the small doorway and down some stairs. Climb up the
block on the left and go left to face your foe.

~~~THE LION~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Ram
Weakspots: None
Vital Spots: On its back

You are at an advantage because you can climb, and he can't. The way you'll want
to start is by first climbing on the fallen stone pillar behind you. Use it to
reach an elevated pathway behind you. Then use that to reach another pathway.
Use that path way to get to a pillar. Jump to the top of it and wait for him to
hit it. If it doesn't fall, shoot an arrow at the lion to get him to hit it
again. With the pillar over, you can jump to the walkway in front of you. Use
that and head to the right, jumping the gap, over a wall, to another walkway on
the other side, where you can access another pillar. Have him hit it until it
falls. Before it hits the ground, jump to the next pillar, and repeat the
process for each pillar. If you do happen to fall off, you can just jump from
the fallen pillar to the lowest ring of the next one. From the third, jump to a
platform, then to the next pillar. From the last pillar, jump to a walkway, then
to the climbable wall about halfway. Shimmy around to the left or the right,
jump up to the highest ledge, then shimmy to the back side get up on the
platform. From here, jump to the pillar and then he'll smash it into a wall,
shattering it.

Part 2. From where the pillar fell, run straight to the back wall and climb the
rock ladder. Head up the stairs and stand on the pillar. Locate him and shoot
him with an arrow to provoke him into hitting a stone support. He'll smash it
and the whole platform will fall on top of him, breaking his armor. Stand on a
pillar of boxes and he'll ram it, knocking him out. Now you can grab its back
and stab away at him until it dies.

---------------------------------------------
    xv. Colossus 15: The Minotaur Sentry (G1, H1)
---------------------------------------------
"Thy next foe is... A giant has fallen into the valley... It acts as a sentry
to a destroyed city..."

Kinda running out of places to go. Head out the left side and go backwards.
Cross the bridge between the green pillars, then head for the white bridge.
Follow it through the desert until you reach the pit where you fought the boar
at. Go around in and head to the right where you can see the ruins in the
distance. You can stop by the save alter and get a lizard if you want, then be
on your way. The entrance is on the right side of the structure, hidden right
after the rock.

You can't take Agro with you because a huge pillar blocks the way. You can get
up on the right side by squeezing through, then head on through the large
doorway. You can go either left or right, then head up the huge stairs, moving
on the left side because the are broken at the top. There is a small square you
can climb up on, then continue on your way up more stairs. Follow this loooong
stretch to the end, where you are greeted by the colossus.

~~~THE MINOTAUR SENTRY~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Foot Stomp, Knife Smash
Weakspots: in his knife elbow
Vital Spots: On his head, In his knife hand

Get him to follow you over to where the stairs are on either side and get on the
brownish platform. When he is close enough, he'll try to step on you so move out
of the way. His weight on the platform will flip it up enough to let you get up
higher. Climb up and go up the stairs and follow the path until you see some
steps. Get on them and climb up to the next level. Follow this pathway to the
left and up more stairs. By the way, if he spots you, he'll use his knife to hit
the structure, which causes you to lose balance. Once you are up on the highest
level, move out to one of the bridges and get his attention with arrows. He'll
get pissed and break the bridge with his knife. When he does this, he'll move
sort of close to it, where you can jump onto his head. Stab away the insignia,
then move on down his right arm. Stab the green dot in his elbow to make him
drop his knife. Then drop onto his elbow armor, then drop to his hand armor,
and shimmy to the inside of his hand stab the insignia to kill it.

---------------------------------------------
    xvi. Colossus 16: The Titan (F8)
---------------------------------------------
"Finally, the last colossus... The ritual is nearly over... Thy wish is nearly
granted... But someone now stands in thy way... Make haste, for time is
short..."

Only one remains. From the temple travel straight out to where the first fight
was, but go to the left through the dark canyon. Follow the path and go to the
right, then follow that out to the open field again. Head straight across,
stopping by the save alter and the fruit trees along the way, to the canyon in
the distance. There is a doorway blocking your path, but you can reflect the
light back with your sword to open it. There is a save on your left with a
lizard. Head up the stairs when you are ready. Run up the stairs and across the
falling bridge. At the end, Agro slips and falls, but he was able to save you.
Despite the heavy loss of your friend, you must keep going. 

A long way to the top. First, climb the wall in front of you. Then, run around
to the right and climb some blocks up to a patch of grass. You can climb the
moss wall up to some more platforms. Hop the gap and keep going up to the left
until you reach a doorway. Head on through and climb up the stairs. The wind
starts to pick up so be careful. Climb up either pillar to to face the final
boss.

~~~THE TITAN~~~
Difficulty: 8
Attacks: Fire Balls
Weakspots: On his back, On his arm
Vital Spots: On its head

This is just one really big puzzle. Before you can even get near him, he starts
pelting you with fireballs, which really hurt. Use the pillars as shields
against his attacks. On the right is a hole, which leads to a path to get closer
to him. Climb up at the end and hide behind the walls. Make your way to the
right and into the hole. Follow this path out to the canyon. go to the right (of
your screen) and grab the pillar and shimmy to the other side. Go around the
corner and run straight for the hallway. Follow the path and climb the ladder at
the end. Climb up the stairs and hide behind the wall. Head to the right and
drop down another hole. Follow the path to come out right under his ass.

Now that you're  out of danger of his fireballs, the goal is to get up...
somehow. Start by grabbing the wall in front of you and pulling yourself
outside. Go to the right (if you are looking from outside inward) and jump/grab
the next platform. Go up another small ladder Then jump up the ladder on the
left. Climb up, go to the right, then climb his armor piece to the top and jump
to the platform on the left side. Jump up to the protruding platform and use it
to climb up to the next piece. Move around to his front side and climb up to 
his burning belly, but I wouldn't recommend grabbing it. from this piece of
armor, move around to his backside and you'll see a green dot so go ahead and
stab it. This will cause him to move his hand down to "scratch an itch" so now
you can grab onto his hand.

From his hand, you'll want to move up to his glowing arm piece. When his hand
stops moving, jump to his gauntlet and inch your way up. Stab the green dot to
get him to move his other hand around. Jump onto it and climb around to the
backhand. take your bow and arrow out, briefly shoot an arrow at his hand to
freeze it, then shoot an arrow at his left shoulder. He'll move his hand around
so jump onto his shoulder. Move to the back of his neck, get on his head, and
stab the insignia. Destroy it and he will crumble to pieces.

    xvii. Epilogue
---------------------------------------------

Here is the ending of the game. I won't ruin it but I will say that you get
control at some points so have fun with it and enjoy the ending. 

*********************************************
VI. The Next Chapter
*********************************************
Just when you thought it was over, you're prompted at the end saying you've
unlocked a bunch of cool stuff. That was nice of them. This section is for all
the stuff you can get/do after you've beaten the game at least once.

---------------------------------------------
    i. Hard Mode
---------------------------------------------
Unlocked after you've beaten the game at least once. In this mode, the colossi
weakpoints are moved, they do a lot more damage to you, they are harder to kill,
and more. I won't explain how to get there because the paths are the same, but
I'll explain how to kill them. I also suggest going out and finding fruits and
lizards, you'll need the boost. (specific locations later)

~~~THE MINOTAUR~~~
Difficulty: 2
Attacks: Foot Stomp, Club Smash
Weakspots: on its leg
Vital Spots: On its right arm, on its head

The strategy is pretty much the same; Chase it, grab its leg, stab it, climb to
the platforms on its back. The difference this time is that there is an insignia
on his arm. To get the one on his arm, just jump from the right platform over to
it. Once its gone, you can stab the one on its head and it will be gone.

~~~THE MAMMOTH~~~
Difficulty: 3
Attacks: Earthquake
Weakspots: In its feet
Vital Spots: On its left side, on its tail, on its head

The tactics are the same here. You'll want to shoot it in the foot to get it to
tip over for you. There is a marker on the left side of its stomach so I
recommend shooting it's left foot first, then going from there to its belly.
After you get rid of it, you'll probably wanna go back to its shoulder blade,
seeing that you're low on stamina at this point. Next go for its tail marker,
then up to its head to finish it. 

~~~THE KNIGHT~~~
Difficulty: 4
Attacks: Sword strike, sword smash, stomp
Weakspots: Its armor
Vital Spots: On his head, on his stomach, on his left elbow

Do not get his by his sword at ALL costs. One smack will kill you in an instant.
Other than that, tactics are the same, except you will want to take breaks
sooner. You can rest on his shoulders, on his sword and on his elbow armor.
After you finish the original two insignias, the third one is on his left arm.
From his head, crawl over to his arm and try to drop down rather than crawl
because you'll need the extra stamina. After you destroy it, it will fall.

~~~THE HORSE~~~
Difficulty: 4
Attacks: Foot stomp
Weakspots: On its neck
Vital Spots: On its head, on its shoulders

You pretty much do the same thing as in normal, but I think it doesn't buy the
hiding trick as much in this. To get him to duck, you'll want to pick a tunnel
(make sure he sees you) then just hide for a while, then come out quietly. He
should be picking away at the hole you went in. Once he ducks, you can grab his
tail. Getting the marker on his head is the same, stab his neck and grab his
head. Once the insignia is gone, crawl down to either shoulder and get rid of
both insignias and he will fall.

~~~THE VULTURE~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Swoop
Weakspots: None
Vital Spots: On its tail, on its wings

The strategy here is the same as in normal mode. The only difference is that he
tries to dump you off more often. Go for the tail first since it requires the
most effort, then go after the ones on its wings and it will fall.

~~~THE ANCIENT MINOTAUR~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Foot Stomp, Fist Pound
Weakspots: None
Vital Spots: On its head, on its back, on its left fist

Strategy for getting on is the same; jump the walls, hide under the stone
platforms, jump on his beard when he looks at you. Get the ones on his head and
back first, then work your way down its left side. Fall off his shoulder armor,
hold R1 while falling and try to grab his fist armor, then drop your way onto
his fist when he stops moving or else you will fall. Stab him and he dies.

~~~THE ELECTRIC EEL~~~
Difficulty: 7
Attacks: Electric shock
Weakspots: At the base of its horns
Vital Spots: On its head

Not much variation here, cept maybe that it likes to do twirls in the water.
Just stab the horns to turn them off then get on his head and stab the insignia.

~~~THE GECKO~~~
Difficulty: 8
Attacks: Poison breath
Weakspots: Its legs
Vital Spots: on its belly

He notices you a lot more and his poison breath kills you even faster. You'll
want to be up from the ground at least two levels. From level 3 I'll call it,
shoot him from a cracked opening to get his attention, avoid his blasts, and
wait for him to climb up. When he gets up to where you are, go down one level
and from a cracked opening shoot out his feet. Don't worry about his blasts,
shooting his feet interrupts his attack. Once he falls, just get on him and
stab away the insignias to kill it. One can be reached by climbing up his tail
end and one can be reached by jumping over his head. You'll only get a few
minutes before he flips over. If you don't get out from under him, his weight
will crush you.

~~~THE TORTOISE~~~
Difficulty: 7
Attacks: Lightning
Weakspots: In its feet
Vital Spots: On its head

I recommend not getting hit by its lightning. I didn't when I fought him but I
would assume that it can kill you in one hit. With that said, the strategy is
the same as in normal mode; provoke him over a geyser, shoot his feet when he
becomes unbalanced, climb his belly to his shell, then make your way to his
head. He only has the one insignia so stab it until he falls.

~~~THE DESERT SNAKE~~~
Difficulty: 7
Attacks: Tackle
Weakspots: Its eyes
Vital Spots: On it's lower back, near its head

The strategy is the same; have it follow you while you are on Agro, then use
your bow to shoot either eye out, causing it to crash into a wall, then climb on
it and stab out its insignias and it will die. Once again, try not to get eaten
by him or run into him, it may cause instant death.

~~~THE BOAR~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Ram, Claw swipe
Weakspots: Fire
Vital Spots: On its back

Strategy is the same; Get on an alter, he'll hit it, grab the stick, light it on
fire, push it back to the edge and it will fall. It only has one insignia on its
back and it's easy to get rid of. I only gave it a 5 because it does more damage
to you.

~~~THE HORN-EYED GORILLA~~~
Difficulty: 7
Attacks: Electrocution
Weakspots: Its teeth
Vital Spots: On its belly

His attack does more damage to you this time, but the strategy is pretty much
the same; lure it to one of the buildings, hide behind the circle thingy to
avoid being shocked, Grab its face, climb up to its teeth and direct it so you
can get to the top of the building, hide behind the pillar to avoid its attack
jump on its belly when it's out of the water. It may take a few times to do but
once you destroy the insignia it will sink into the lake again.

~~~THE SAND DRAGON~~~
Difficulty: 4
Attacks: None
Weakspots: The sacs under its belly
Vital Spots: Under the flaps on its back

They gave up at this point I swear. Same strategy, shoot out the bulbs to get it
close to the ground, jump on its front wings, stab out each insignia under each
flap on its back to fell the beast.

~~~THE LION~~~
Difficulty: 5
Attacks: Ram
Weakspots: None
Vital Spots: On its back

Same as before; get it to ram each of the pillars along the way until you reach
the second area, then get it to ram the platform, causing it to fall on its
armor and break it, then stab the insignia on its back until it dies. Because it
takes longer to kill, it may end up scrapping you off under one of the
overhanging walkways. If this happens, have it ram an object nearby to knock it
out so you can get a full hit in.

~~~THE MINOTAUR SENTRY~~~
Difficulty: 7
Attacks: Stomp, Knife Smash, Fist pound
Weakspots: On its right elbow
Vital Spots: On its head, on its right hand, on its chest

This is actually more difficult. There is a third marker near his left shoulder
on his chest. It's very difficult to get to because he shakes a lot and by the
time you get your footing, you're out of stamina. Anyway, getting up there is
the same; have him raise a platform so you can get up a level, get him to smash
the structure to looses some blocks so you can get even higher, climb up to one
of the bridges and have him break it so he's close enough to you, then jump over
to him. I found it easiest to go for the head, then the chest, then his arm but
you can take them down anyway you want to. Destroy all 3 and he will fall.

~~~THE TITAN~~~
Difficulty: 8
Attacks: Fireball
Weakspots: on its back, on its left arm
Vital Spots: On its head

Same strategy as before; use the walls as shields and follow the underground
tunnels until you reach under him, then climb up his armor, then stab the mark
on his back to bring his hand around, grab it, make your way up to his elbow,
stab it, grab his other hand, stab it, use your bow to shoot his shoulder, grab
it, climb up to his head and finish him off.

    ii. Time Attack Mode
Unlocked after you've beaten the game at least once. Haven't gotten this far
yet. In this mode you must kill the colossi before the timer runs out. You get
items for every 2 colossi defeated.

    iii. Items
These are the items that the creators threw in to give the gamers something fun
to do. You can earn a total of 16 items, 8 for the normal time attack, 8 for
the hard one. These can be used during the normal/hard game, but not during
time attack. They can be accessed from the start menu during gameplay. Here is
the list:

~~Normal Time Attack~~
1. Whistling Arrow - whistles through the air. Distracts a colossus.
2. Cloak of Force - Lets you cause more damage to a colossus. It becomes
stronger when combined with the Mask of Strength or Power.
3. Mask of Strength - The wearer of this mask is granted the power and strength
of the titans. Able to inflict deep wounds on a colossus.
4. Lizard Detection Stone - Displays the lizard locations on the map.
5. Fruit Tree Map - Displays the fruit trees on your map.
6. Mask of Power - Same as the Mask of Strength.
7. Cloak of Deception - Makes your presence invisible to the colossi.
8. Flash Arrow - Has an explosive tip that can damage a colossus.

~~Hard Time Attack~~
1. Harpoon of Thunder - A long spear with long range and enough power to damage
a colossus.
2. Sword of the Sun - Allows you to reflect sunlight even in the dark.
3. Fruit Tree Map - same as above.
4. Shaman's Cloak - Wearing this gives you more protection against attacks.
5. Lizard Detection Stone - same as above.
6. Shaman's Mask - Same as the Shaman's Cloak (btw, this is the mask they show
you at the beginning of the game).
7. Cloth of Desperation - Can be used as a parachute if you fall from a
colossus.
8. Queen's Sword - The sword from ICO (wow!). Inflicts a mortal blow in one
strike.

There ya have it, good luck earning them.

    iv. Extra Stuff
Besides a few modes and a couple of fancy items here and there, there are many
 other secrets that are stashed away. Here are some of them:

-Brown Agro: To get Brown Agro, beat all the colossi in normal time attack
mode, then press and hold Square when starting a new game or loading an old
one. 

-White Agro: To get White Agro, beat all the colossi in hard time attack mode,
then press and hold Circle when starting a new game or loading an old one.

-ICO symbol: This one is easy. Just use a memory chip with an ICO save file on
it and Agro will have the letter "I" on his forehead instead of the diamond.

-Grab some wings: The animals in the environment are more than just for show,
you can actually hitch a ride on them. Sneak up behind them and grab one with
R1. A good place to practice is on the doves that float in and out of the main
temple.

-Reminiscence mode: After beating a colossus, you can return to their remains
and pray using Circle. You will be prompted to enter Reminiscence Mode, where
you can fight the colossus again, but with that old film like screen, like they
use in flashbacks in other games.

-Secret Garden: Yes, it exists. Just haven't gotten around to climbing the
temple.
