So, not too long ago, I borrowed a copy of SotC from my local library. The game was, obviously, amazing, and I became a rather large fan very quickly. So, earlier this morning, I did a google search for SotC, and stumbled upon
this. It's probably nothing, but I found it interesting all the same.
==================================================================
What We Know So Far:Somewhere, in Shadow of the Colossus, there may be a secret hidden that has yet to be found by anyone. In order to find it, the player must find a set of something that, when viewed from a certain perspective, would line up to form a multi-rayed figure. Unfortunately, this 'set' could be anything. It could be a formation of rocks somewhere in the desert; a pair of trees in the forest; or, it could even be the colossi themselves.
The answer, oddly enough, is right under the player's nose, so to speak, and has been since the beginning of the game. Every time the player slays a colossus, he or she is returned to the Shrine of Worship. The Shrine of Worship is highly decorated, there is no doubt. However, one set of "decorations" appears to be more than that. The
four-piece set of glyph blocks, found here, is actually a bird's-eye view of four very important locations within the Forbidden Lands. They are, in no particular order:
Argus (Colossus #15)'s CityHydrus (Colossus #07)'s Lake (?)
The Shrine of WorshipThe Entrance to the Forbidden LandsWhen these areas are viewed from the map screen, they form a
perfect cross. The center of this cross, or the Point of Intersection, happens to lie exactly over Celosia (Colossus #11, pictured above)'s Temple.
In the back of this temple lies a doorway that appears to have been bricked (or more accurately, 'stoned') over. There are steps leading up to the door, where they come to an abrupt halt. The door is set back into the wall, and is haloed by a round, Medallion-like embellishment. The entire temple is quasi-underground, and thus has no sunlight; consequently, the Sacred Sword will not reflect light; nor will the Queen's Sword. The Sun's Sword may be useful here, as it casts rays of light, even in total darkness, though none have tried using it for this purpose.
There may also be a connection between the temples of Celosia and Barba. There is a similar doorway in Barba's temple, and it is also one of the only temples (aside from Celosia's) to contain some amount of fire.
Celosia's temple also contains a stick, which can be picked up, lit and used as a weapon. It can also be removed from the temple and taken to almost any other location, including Barba's temple.
==================================================================
This may, of course, be complete nonsense, but they could actually be onto something here. I intend to find out.
