Author's comments: This was my first speed run, and I played with Normal difficulty, no fruits or lizard's tails eaten. The only things I did were: Locate and defeat all 16 colossi. No special weapon(s) used. Sword and bow were the only weapons I used in this run. This run isn't the easiest one. I had many problems, some were smaller and some were bigger, but I didn't solve them all alone, I got a lot of help in the SDA's forum and from Gamefaqs and I can't thank enough the people who helped me out, but I really want to thank the following people: mikwuyma and the whole SDA's staff, VincentAC, conan2 and Enhasa and last but not least Sniper1263! All of them helped me alot. In the SDA forum I got much help, but Sniper1263 didn't help me directly, I watched his YouTube videos and I learned some tricks from his videos, so thank you again! But I've got to thank BGR44's staff for making the SotC Time Attack site where I got a lot of help, because most of the tricks I'm using in Colossus fights are taken from BGR's site so without that site this run wouldn't be here now! My first goal was to beat this game under two hours. Later my goal became under 1 hour 30 minutes, but I didn't make it. My completion time is: 1 hour 34 minutes 30 Seconds, but I'm not disappointed, I'm very proud of it, because no one has done a SotC speed run before as far as I know. When I started this run, I didn't know anything about those tricks the japanese players are using, because I hadn't heard anything about BGR's site, when I first saw their videos, I was really excited. So I decided that I'll learn those trick some day and I remember the day when I first time came to the SDA forum and started searching Shadow of the Colossus topic(s). When I finally found one, I read the whole topic and I was really disappointed, because there were few people who said they will do the SotC run, but none of them ever did, so I decided to take that job for myself and now here I am, writing this comment and proudly presenting my speed run! I hope you will enjoy it! There are 16 segments in all, each segment has the locating and defeating of a colossus. Now I'm going to put my total times on each segment: Segment 1: 0:02:48 Segment 2: 0:06:11 Segment 3: 0:11:08 Segment 4: 0:14:48 Segment 5: 0:19:22 Segment 6: 0:24:20 Segment 7: 0:30:08 Segment 8: 0:34:40 Segment 9: 0:38:57 Segment 10: 0:43:42 Segment 11: 0:47:38 Segment 12: 0:54:40 Segment 13: 0:59:26 Segment 14: 1:07:09 Segment 15: 1:13:24 Segment 16: 1:34:30 Segment 5: Just before the cut-scene starts where the 5th colossus is flying around, I rolled straight so when the cut-scene ends I'm already in the water and that way I saved some time. Just after I do my first stab on his wing, I wait so I can drop down and then grab his other wing and I was lucky enough to hit just above his weak-spot, so it was a perfect drop and I didn't have to try this segment so many times. (Total Time: 0:19:22)
