Shadow of the Colossus π€π½ Barba Belua Maximus 6th Giant PS4 Pro Remastered Remake Gameplay Guide
56 Barba Giant Belua maximus is the nickname given to the sixth colossus. This bearded giant is found in a remote temple in quadrant D6 of the Forbidden Lands.
The path to this colossus is easily the most involved and complex one yet. There are several ways to get there, but the most direct path is through the Autumn Forest. Finding the forest is easy enough - the sword's light will direct the player there from the Shrine of Worship - but finding a way out of the woods can be tricky. The northwestern corner of the woods is where to head; there, there is a path leading out into the sunlight of the Blasted Lands. Refer to the video if having trouble locating the exit. The sword will direct the player south now. The temple where Barba resides is past the Blasted Lands' save shrine. Agro cannot follow Wander into the temple, as he must climb several obstacles in the ruined halls that she cannot get past. Proceed into the main hall of the temple and a cutscene will play. Find a safe way down to the floor now. Head straight forward to the edge of the floor and look at the wall below; Wander can climb down the ridges (the player can also survive jumping at this height, but there is a considerable health loss). Once he's reached the bottom, the ground shakes, and the wall disappears into the ground.
Barba will be right next to Wander as the battle begins (unless another way down was taken), but it is not likely aware of him yet. Take the advantage and get a head start. The goal is to reach the far end of the temple hall. Three walls stand in Wander's way, and he must climb them quickly; the colossus will follow him and smash them apart as it walks through them (a cutscene will play the first time it does this).

Once at the far end, seek cover in the small alcove built into the wall, and get out of sight behind a pillar. Get Barba's attention if necessary (whistling is recommended, as the player can remain hidden), and eventually Barba will look for Wander by putting its left hand down on the ground and lowering its beard. Jump out of hiding quickly and onto the beard (Hard Mode players will want to go for the hand as well). Barba has a weakspot on its lower left back as well as its head. It will try to throw Wander off plenty of times when going for the head, but the spot on its back is even more dangerous, as it's harder to get to a place where stamina can be recovered.

Tips and tricks
Barba has an attack where it will try to pound Wander with its fist if he gets too close. This gives very skilled or lucky players a brief window of opportunity to leap on its hand and use the momentum to propel themselves up to Barba's upper-body. Sadly, this generally doesn't help players on Hard Mode, since Barba will mostly try to smash Wander with its right arm, and the sigil is located on the back of its left hand.
If timed just right, while standing on one of the walls, the player can actually jump onto Barba's arms, allowing Hard Mode players to take out the major sigil on the back of its left hand. At this point, it is also possible to use the momentum of Barba's arm to propel Wander up to its upper-body.
When Wander is attacking Barba's head weakpoint, the colossus will often try to throw its head backwards in an attempt to buck him off. Before it does this, however, its head will lower slightly. Stabbing the sigil during this time, with whatever charge Wander has got built up in his stab, will often cancel the animation and leave him ready for another attempt.
Music
Upon entering the chamber in which Barba resides, "Sign of the Colossus" begins.
Once Barba emerges, "Grotesque Figures" starts to play.
After Wander has grabbed onto Barba and the colossus stands upright, "Revived Power" plays until the end of the battle.
Trivia
Barba is the first of only two colossi that are fought underground; the other is Dirge.
Barba is the only colossus to use their fists as their primary weapon; Argus does use its hands to attack, but only after it has been disarmed.
