Avion is the nickname given to the fifth colossus. Resembling a bird of prey, this agile colossus is found in a foggy lake in quadrant H4, perched atop one of several tall ruins jutting from the waters.

Avion is directly east of the shrine, as the sword indicates. Just head east as the cliffside path becomes narrow. When it widens again, the colossus' lair is close. If one gets lost, find a sunlit spot near the cliff's edge - the sword's light will direct the player to the lake. There is also a save shrine and a fruit tree. It is highly recommended to eat the fruit and save the game because this colossus can attack suddenly and take away some life. Wander will have to leave Agro behind. The way east into the lake proper seems blocked off, but diving underwater (the same button used to grab; R1 by default) will reveal an arch Wander can swim through. On the other side, there will be a pillar with ledges, so climb up to the top and walk towards the balcony overlooking the ruins.
Walkthrough

Initially, Avion will do nothing but watch Wander from its lofty perch. Shooting it with an arrow, however, will drastically change its disposition; a direct hit will cause the giant bird to take to the skies and eventually divebomb the player. The lake is dotted with several platforms in sets of three just barely sticking out of the water; be on the middle platform when Avion swoops down for Wander, and jump. Be sure to hold R1 to hang on - it's a long way down if he gets shaken off, and he may not be so fortunate as to hit water.

Hang tight as the colossus soars through the air. Let Wander's stamina recharge when possible, but keep pressing R1. The weakpoint on its tail is somewhat easy to take out, but its wings are very dangerous; a reasonably-charged stab will usually result in Avion doing an extended barrel roll in the air, leaving Wander hanging upside-down on the tip of its wing. If his stamina runs low, quickly retreat to safety once its wings spread out.

Tips and tricks

It's possible to land on top of one of the big buildings after falling off; the Cloth of Desperation can be a great help. If the colossus is provoked with an arrow from there, it will not swoop down to attack, but will get close to Wander and flap its wings violently, creating a strong gust of wind that will likely knock him back into the lake below.
After stabbing any sigil on Avion's wings, Avion will perform a barrel roll to try and get Wander off. If the player is careful, it is possible to let go of its wing and land right on Avion's back. This gives the player extra time to regain stamina before attacking the sigil again.

Music

Upon sighting Avion, "Silence" plays. It also plays if Wander falls from Avion.
Once Wander hitches onto Avion, "A Despair-filled Farewell" plays.

Trivia

The name "Avion" is the French and Spanish word for plane. This suits very well as Avion is a flying colossus.
Avion is one of only two colossi who has a visible, mobile mouth. Dirge also has a moving mouth located on its underside.
Avion is arguably the second-most peaceful of all the colossi; it only retaliates after being hit itself. Incidentally, the most peaceful colossus is also the only other one that flies: Phalanx.
Avion is the most eastern-situated of all the colossi. On the map, Avion's lair is in line with Dirge (Dirge is in B4 while Avion is in H4; there are no other colossi in-between them), although the two are at completely opposite sides of the map. Putting Avion and Dirge in such positions may have been intentional, as the two are quite different to each other in a number of ways. Avion flies, lives above a lake close to the Shrine of Worship, and is relatively peaceful until it is provoked. Dirge on the other hand lives underground in a cave within the sand far away from the Shrine of Worship and is probably one the most aggressive colossi in the game, as it is constantly trying to kill Wander.
Avion is one of the fastest of the colossi, potentially the fastest of all 16.
