★ Welcome in Wanderer!

Here we tackle the Hard Time Attack Challenges for the trophy "Speed King" in order to receive the Time Attack Items.

Welcome to the endgame, it's the Sixteenth and the Final Colossus, the Evis [MALUS] and the tactic here is to time your jumps and runs perfectly in order to cross the huge gap between you and Malus. Always try to run when Malus has shot one of its fireballs. If it doesn't, lure it to shoot one and it takes a microsecond to shoot the next one, giving you a good time to traverse this obstacle course.

You won't know where and how far Malus' fireballs can reach, to be honest. Even after playing multiple times, once Malus shot me right as I was getting up from one of the ledges from the underground level, next to a pillar, right before the 4 walls which you have to cross to reach another underground level which opens right under Malus. So be wary.

The next and most crucial tactic is to stab Malus' hand once you're on the dorsal side of it. Unless you do this, it keeps on turning its hand from the dorsal to the ventral surface. That's the only way for it to stop turning the hands and fixate it on the dorsal surface giving you enough time to hit the weak spot on the shoulder.

Lastly micro manage your stamina once you're on the head sigil. Malus can be VERY annoying in that it constantly moves its head like Barba at times. Rinse and Repeat and you'll have finished this amazing Hard Time Attack run. Enjoy!

Best of luck, Warriors of Dormin!

★ Personal Thoughts:

Possibly my second-most (if not THE MOST) favorite fight in terms of incredible Background Music. Malus' fight doesn't only sound incredible, it even feels like it's the end, and what a great job the entire fight does in portraying it. Though why is its Dev. Name Evis... Was it supposed to mean Elvis??

Coming to the design, the entire Colossi feels like one of the most unique boss designs I've seen in any medium. A Colossal Tower of a beast that cannot move but has one of the best sentient AI in any game boss fights. I remember trying to get up near the 4 walls from the underground passageway and it never shot me there before but did on this one playthrough. Literally gasped for air and paused the game. The fact it can squeeze in shots wherever you are is pretty awesome for a boss.

The aspects of the fights as well, that you have to stab its hand for it to keep it still on its dorsal surface, that was such a dumb and yet tricky thing to realize. And not only that, it made for an incredible thumbnail wallpaper. The main struggle itself was that he knew exactly when to shake his head which was hilarious.

I absolutely loved this Colossi fight to be very honest and it does a great job in culminating an incredible end-boss fight. What can I say, now I'm itching to play again! Hue Hue Hue
