Correct, there are no moving shadows caused by the movement of the sun. Many S.O.T.C. theorists believe that time has stopped in the Forbidden Lands & that's why the sun remains in the same place.

LOL...actually I'm surprised no one has done that yet for real, watching up to the point of the first mandala & then stopping the video & complaining that the mandala isn't hidden. A lot of players probably never saw the first mandala anyway because they didn't bother to look around before going inside the tunnel. Once I find all the mandala's in the game I'll make a video showing all the locations. I have a feeling there are quite a few of them including more hidden ones.

Até agora só tem essa luz. Mas seria legal se houvesse uma maneira de obter a Life Sword sem ser com um código DLC que não é mais válido. Talvez no ano que vem, se tivermos uma edição de 20º aniversário do jogo. So far there is only this one light. But it would be nice if there was a way to get the Life Sword other than with a DLC code that's no longer valid. Maybe next year if we get a 20th anniversary edition of the game.

Thanks. It's amazing that almost 20 years later there are still new things to discover in this game. The search continues for more. :)

@@timmadone8930 you're welcome :)

The parachute (Cloth Of Desperation) is not an item you start the game with. You have to unlock it through the Time Attack trials. I've noticed that in many open world games (almost all of them actually) you are stopped by an invisible wall from going over the edge of an area where you could die. So this isn't something exclusive to S.O.T.C. In most cases though if you just mash the jump button, you'll still be able to make the jump.

@@timmadone8930 Oh, so you normally can’t jump from cliffs? I’ve played this game for so many years and I never realized it. :) Thanks.

That's my plan. :)

I have a feeling the dev's at Bluepoint Games intentionally allowed access to many "out of bounds" locations in the remake. They knew the Secret Seekers would be out in full force once the remake was released & it wouldn't take long for the secret of the 79 gold coins to be found. Since the extra colossi weren't added this time (hopefully that happens next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary) we've been given new locations we can now briefly explore while in the Forbidden Lands.

Yes sir. That waterfall is one of the highlights of the PS4 remake. I have yet to see a better looking waterfall in another console game. Even the waterfalls I've seen in very recent games don't look as good as this one which is now over 6 years old at this point. The ICO Beach & the Endor Forest (as I call it) are some of the other highlights from the PS4 remake. Just about anywhere you look though is postcard worthy.

Can you land with with no perehot

Thanks. Exploring in this game is never ending. As many have said concerning S.O.T.C...there's always that feeling that something new or undiscovered is just around the next big rock, or mountain, or tree. And every now & then it turns out to be correct.

@@kylemitchell7229 It's called the "Cloth Of Desperation" & no. If you were to jump without it you would die. It's just too high a jump. There are some areas where you can jump from a high place & land safely without the parachute, but those are usually over bodies of water. I'm still trying to find the location where I can survive a 1000m jump without the parachute. It is possible to pull off.

I have another video on here where I also go inside a waterfall. In total I've counted 22 waterfalls & some can only be seen with some very serious exploring or jumping into an out-of-bounds location. Once I'm able to properly edit I'm planning on making a video showing all of them. But the great waterfall briefly shown here is (probably) the best looking waterfall in a console video game. I have yet to see one that looks better even on a PS5 game.

If you look below Wander just a bit to the left you'll see the hawk flying away. What I did was unofficially known as "hawk humping". Using a turbo controller (or a turbo attachment for a normal controller) you grab the hawk like you normally would. Only with turbo you can force the hawk to keep going up higher & higher until you either run out of stamina or reach the limit of height that the hawk can climb. You then let go of the hawk & glide to your destination...hoping you can safely land once you get there.

@@timmadone8930 Thank you for explanation, sounds like an amazing technique I'm gonna have to try!

When the day comes (which it will) that I finally stop uploading content for this game, a compilation might actually be a good idea. The thing is I have no idea when that would be. I've got at least one boss battle planned (something I've never done in a video) & several more things to show for the remainder of this year, plus things for the 20th anniversary next year. So if a compilation happens it won't be anytime soon. XD

There are 3 ways to reach it but none of them are foolproof. Sometimes they will work & sometimes not. I'll let you try to figure it out. Funny thing about this video, you can hear the lizard walking around, but when I pulled out the Harpoon Of Thunder to impale it, the lizard went invisible. Then when I landed on the temple floor & was going to go up to Agro & pet the horse, Agro also went invisible. I think they both put on the Cloak Of Deception. XD

@@timmadone8930 Nice to know they sell them in all sizes! :D

The video didn't turn out how I wanted. I had 4,999 of each & it was supposed to show Wander getting the five thousandth of each. But I hit screen shot instead of video clip (thanks to controller drift) & couldn't reverse it. As for the zero distance, once you get a certain distance on foot or on Agro, it flips back to zero & starts all over again. If you get to 500 hours in gameplay, it starts to count backwards back to zero & starts over.

@@timmadone8930 oh, thanks for explaining. :)

Thanks. Nomad Colossus did a video showing all the hawks that land on the ground. Amazingly he didn't know about this one, so I pointed it out to him & he gave me credit calling it "Tim's Hawk". I felt so honored that I decided to make a video involving this particular hawk. Originally I was going to grab the hawk by jumping off the main bridge & gliding towards the hawk as it took off. But that's very hard to pull off. It is possible though.

Yes that's correct. And the same thing happens with the layout of the stairs leading to colossus 15 too. Not sure why the changes were made. But good of you to notice the difference. There are actually many differences between the PS4 remake & the original. But unless you've played the original many times, you might not notice many of the changes other than the look of the environment.

@@timmadone8930 I'm guessing because those minor obstacles were used to elongate the "transition corridor" into the colossi dungeon and was deemed unnecessary in the new build because they could just load the area faster with all the new techs, so they ironed it out. You may already know this, but adventure games in PS2 often have these long quiet corridors between lively/active areas not just for a breather or suspense, they were there to prevent the players from getting from Point A to Point B faster than the game could load.

@@hansalanson3497 I had some knowledge of that. I know the wormhole you go through after taking out a colossus was really a clever way to give you something to look at while the game reset. Whether or not that was it's original purpose is hard to say. It could have been planned as part of the game anyway & it just happened to coincidentally serve more than one purpose.

@@timmadone8930I knew something felt wrong about the those stairs. I've noticed so many minor environment details. I know it doesn't change the overall gameplay but it still gives me ocd lol

@@meep8279 Correct, it doesn't change the overall gameplay. All the fruit trees, shiny tailed lizards, colossi, & weak spots on the colossi are still in the same locations. However the PS4 remake does allow you to go places you couldn't go before. Plus it gives you more things to do other than just time attacks. Like unlocking all 154 gallery pics & collecting all 79 gold coins. Hopefully we get some new extras next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

Usually when you venture into an area that's "out of bounds", you'll need to restart the game once you're done looking around or exploring. There are some locations considered "out of bounds" that will allow you to return to the regular part of the map without re-starting. These areas are mostly located above the ground from where you would normally travel. You just have to watch where you step when in these areas. One wrong move & you'll either fall through the map or die instantly.

Anyone can jump off this cliff & glide down to the rocks below. But you will need to unlock the Cloth Of Desperation (parachute). The area down below the cliff is an area that's considered "out of bounds", but there are many "out of bounds" locations that you can visit & explore.

Thanks. It's getting more difficult all the time to come up with new things that haven't already been shown thousands of times in videos by other fans. Recently to bide some time I've been doing follow-ups to previous videos, but the search continues for new & (hopefully) interesting material. After 19 years you would think there isn't anything left that hasn't been seen or hasn't been tried. Luckily the map is quite large (for a 2005 game) & there's still room for new discoveries.

@@timmadone8930 well I agree with ya bro still these contribution of yours will make an etch in this historic game. Just chill haha we are grateful no matter what.

It goes a little farther than what you see here (in both directions) but at some point you will either hit an invisible wall or just be too low to the ground (water) to go any farther. As you can see there is no water physics so you can't interact with the water. This seems to be the case with many of the "out of bounds" locations that contain water. At least some of the rocks have collision so you can safely land on them.

@@timmadone8930 Oh damn, that's interesting

So far the answer is no. I've tried many times to land on the ledges but so far I either just fall right through them or die right after landing on them. It's quite possible there might be a few ledges that can be safely landed on, but as of now I haven't found them. For the moment the rocks in the water seem to be the only "out of bounds" areas in this location where you can safely land. I know the top of the cliffs above the arena have collision, but I haven't been able to get up there...yet.

It takes a lot of patience, years of experimenting, & dying thousands of times. I can say quite unequivocally that I've died more times playing this game than I did playing "Dark Souls". But that's because I've thrown myself all over the map into areas designated as "out of bounds" locations. In the original game many of these areas truly were out of bounds, but in the remake many of these locations are accessible now for those willing take the time to fully explore the Forbidden Lands.

You can go under the water as long as you stay on the rock. If you go off the edge of the rock you'll fall to your death. In most "out-of-bounds" areas around the map that involve water, if you go underneath the water there's no longer any water around you. It's like being surrounded by air but you can still see the surface of the water above you. The real trick is trying to find a safe space to land. It's trial & error.

Absolutely. Bluepoint Games & all involved with this remake did such a good job making the world look as realistic as possible. Even more than 6 years later, the PS4 remake holds up very well graphically. Not everyone was happy with the new look of the game & yes some of the other-worldly feel of the original is gone. But considering what we did get, it's hard to complain. Now might we get a Director's Cut in 2025 to celebrate the 20th anniversary? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I tried to show the hole prior to Wander jumping into it (see my first video on Dormin's Hole) but I just kept falling through the map. It's very difficult to land on solid ground when trying to get near the hole. There is collision there, but 9 out of 10 times you will just fall through the map. After about 6 or 7 tries & failing, I just decided to start the video with Wander already descending through the hole. Yeah it would have been nice if a gold coin would have been hidden on top of the idols.

Thanks, actually I started a new game so all the idols would be standing. Mono is there, but when you're standing on top of the idols she becomes invisible. That mouse sound is the shiny tailed lizard walking around on the ceiling. In my previous Dormin's Hole video you can hear the lizard walking all over the place, but it turned invisible so I wasn't able to shoot it down. Agro also turned invisible so I wasn't able to pet the horse.

Thanks. I wasn't planning on starting the video the way it starts. I wanted to be above the hole like in my first video & then jump into it. But it's not easy getting to that hole & mostly when you do, you just end up falling through the map. There is collision around the hole but it's very tricky landing up there. As it turns out it worked out better this way because I got to show the hole all lit up & actually it does look quite nice. :)

Yes that's true. My first time playing the game I was up all night mainly because I spent a lot of time exploring the map. As for the 79 gold coins, I found 74 of them on my own with no help. I already had a good idea where many of them would be as I had already explored the map extensively in the past. But some of them were hidden in places I didn't think to look. Even after 19 years new discoveries are still being made in this game. Simply amazing.

Yeah, actually I was intending to end the video with a nice shot using photo mode. But I forgot to enable it before recording & as it was it took probably close to an hour or more of trying just to grab that particular seagull. As for making a risky move, now that I think about it I've died more times playing this game than I did in "Dark Souls". But that's the price you pay when jumping & throwing yourself all over the map to see what will happen. Of course Nomad I know you don't need to be told that. :)

Thanks Nomad. All my S.O.T.C. videos are recorded live as I'm playing with no edits. That's actually more do to with the fact that at first I didn't have a way to edit. And then when the opportunity came along where I could edit, I decided the way I was already doing it seemed to work just fine. Of course doing it this way has only been possible from years of playing & experimenting. 19 years to be exact. :)

Yes & this was also true of the PS2/PS3 version. The main difference with the PS4 version is that you can now glide much further using the parachute (Cloth Of Desperation) than you could before. This makes access to those areas much easier. Doing the "hawk hump" while using turbo is the most common way to reach most of these locations. But even without turbo there are many areas you can still reach that weren't possible before. All you have to do is take the time to explore.

Just for the pleasure of doing it. Anyone who's played this game & extensively & explored the map & looked all around at the mountains & cliffs & various ledges sticking out, has more than likely thought to themselves..."I wonder what's up there?" or "I wish I could get to that ledge & explore". Since I found a ledge & also found a way to get up to it, I decided to make a video. Of course it would have been nice if something had been up there like a gold coin or a goat anaglyph.

@@timmadone8930 I feel like the developers of the game should have added a ton of new interactive ways to explore with the map/world but instead they only updated the graphics :/ pretty lame and a huge disappointed to all the fans including you I'm sure.

@@tashi_108 To be fair the dev's at Bluepoint Games didn't want to do anything against the will of Fumito Ueda & as I understand it, he didn't want to add any of the missing colossi. I do appreciate how much work went into making the remake look so good, but yes I was disappointed we got so little new content. There's always next year where we "might" get a special release to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

@@timmadone8930 That makes sense. I've only been playing the game for about 5 months now so I've still got a ways to go with exploration but I'm already learning all of my limitations and getting ahead of myself lol

Thanks. After 19 years it's getting harder & harder to try & come up with new things that haven't already been seen or tried by all the fans.

@@timmadone8930You’ve been playing this game for 19 years? That’s impressive.

@@vacantile Yes, it really is impressive & maybe just a bit insane when I think about just how many hours I've put into this game. Not sure of the exact amount, but if I combined PS2, PS3, PS4, it's well over 50,000 hours by now. That includes foreign versions too. The PS4 remake alone I've platinumed from all 6 regions. But that's how you discover new things. And amazingly after 19 years, there are still new things to discover & new glitches to experience.

@@timmadone8930 Wow, do you play this game every day? Do you like other games?

@@vacantile I play S.O.T.C. almost every day. I'm working on some special videos for the 20th anniversary next year & it will take the rest of this year to get done what I need so I'll be ready. Off the top of my head other games I like are... "PRAEY FOR THE GODS" "RESIDENT EVIL 4" "JOURNEY" "THE LAST GUARDIAN" "THE LAST OF US" "GHOST OF TSUSHIMA" "ICO" "ARCADE PARADISE" "LOST IN SHADOW" "D" "D2" "CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW" "TWISTED METAL" "FORTNITE".

Really? Back then I didn't know how to get to Dormin's Hole on the PS2 version. I still managed to do a lot of exploring on the PS2 version though. Things are much easier on the PS4 remake now that the Cloth Of Desperation also serves as a glider & there is so many places around the map where you can do super jumps. It makes getting to "out of bounds" locations much easier.

The game is on PS2, PS3, PS4, & possibly next year (2025) a PS5 version might also be available with new bonus features to celebrate the 20th anniversary. So there are many ways to play the game. If you don't own any of these consoles, you could play the game emulated on PC but I'm not even sure that's legal to do. As of now there is no professional release of the game on PC.

I'll assume that means good (or great) video & I'll agree. It takes a lot of time & patience to fully explore such a big map (big by 2005 standards anyway) & lots of trial & error to see what things you can & can't do that go beyond just taking out the colossi. But that's the job of a Secret Seeker & it always feels rewarding when you discover something new, & even more rewarding when you can share it. :)

This is actually the remake of the original from ps2

So true. While my videos for "Shadow Of The Colossus" are taken from the PS4 remake, the original version of the game had an other-worldly look & was visually amazing for what it achieved all the way back in 2005 on the PS2. Even though I miss the look of the original, it's hard to deny the visual feast we get from the PS4 remake. Bluepoint Games & all involved went above & beyond to make the game look the best it could possibly look in 2018. 6 years later it still holds up nicely.

That's a good question. Certainly all fans of S.O.T.C. would like that. For now the closets thing we have is "Praey For The Gods" which is a nice spiritual successor that definitely needs more love as well as a physical release. As for S.O.T.C., 2025 will be the 20th anniversary of the game. Too celebrate the occasion we "might" get a Definitive Edition of the game featuring some of the cut colossi, an expansion of the map, & hopefully full access to climb to the very top of the castle. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Praey for the gods is very janky , I wanted to like it but 😢

@@colinbatty3431 I'll admit "Praey For The Gods" could have used some extra polish prior to it's digital release, but it was still fully playable. There's actually a lot of hidden caves, many clever puzzles, & lots of extra items to find if you take the time to unlock the entire map & explore everywhere. 3 dev's spent around 6 years making this game & a lot of love went into it. Hopefully one day it will get the recognition it deserves along with a physical release.

Yes Wander is a male even if he does look a little feminine in the face. A lot of people seemed to be unhappy with the way Wander's face looks in the PS4 remake. I'm okay with it. It looks alright as long as you don't zoom in really close. The one thing I do have an issue with is the eyes. I think Wander's eyes looked better in the original version of the game. They had a wet glossy look like real eyes.
