The hero must embark on a quest to slay the sixteen colossi, giant creatures that tower hundreds of feet above the Earth. He does say though, that if the man is willing to accept some heavy consequences, that there might be a way to revive her. The man pleas for his help in bringing back the woman's cursed soul, however the being says it is the law of mortals that a dead soul cannot be brought back. The Dormin is surprised that the man carries an ancient and magical sword, and speaks to the man. He seeks the Dormin, a strange and God-like being that resides there. He carries a young woman, who died from a terrible curse. In an ancient time long past, a young man travels to the ends of the Earth, a place that is said to be forbidden to enter.

Other Colossi require the player to actually climb aboard, and crawl, run, and leap across their massive forms to find the hidden vulnerability that can be used to bring them down.

Against some Colossi, the hero may ride his faithful steed alongside the monster, galloping at full speed just to keep up with its mile-long strides.

To do so, he'll need to defeat the 16 Colossi - landscape-sized enemies so enormous that they can only be conquered by exploring them, platform-game style, to discover their weaknesses. Players take the role of a young knight who sets out to rescue his sleeping-beauty princess from a magic-induced state of suspended animation. Developed by the studio that created the PS2's critically acclaimed Ico, Shadow of the Colossus is another fantasy-themed puzzle adventure that's light on dialog and heavy on beautifully expressive environments. End-level bosses are standard fare in video games, but the bosses are the levels in this unusual adventure.
