  3. 17th colossus, did it ever exist?

I stopped playing this game a couple years ago. But I never did find out the verdict on whether a 17th colossus ever existed. Anybody wanna give me some info?

No, there are only 16 colossi in this game.

There are some people who are still hunting for the last BIG secret, but its likely that it doesn't even exist, seeing as how they've been searching for three years now and haven't found anything.

The secret garden was the big secret.

*sigh* I was here from the very start.

And the Secret Garden was... well Idk. I mean I found it the first day that I tried the demo. It wasn't that big of a secret.... If some considered it to be a big one, then others of us said it just wasn't big enough.

Of the three main secrets, the Top of the Tower, the 17th Colossus, and the East Coast, only one of them was actually proven to be invalid. Someone got to the top of the tower riding on a hawk using a macroing controller and the tower isn't actually tangible in the game. You can go right through it.

Though the presence of a 17th Colossus looks extremely unlikely, I wouldn't put it past the devs to just have kept it a secret after all of this time.

As far as big secrets in general, we never actually did get to the East Coast, did we? haha. We had a couple of reports of people seeing save shrines over out of bounds when they tried to 'Hawk Hump' over the mountains. I suppose we'll never actually know for sure.

You certainly have been gone a while, haven't you. Regarding the East coast:

JOKU!! Hi! =D How are you!?

Erm... Ahem.

I loved the dramatic tone on the first one xD

I loved the eerie tone on the second.

And I literally had tears in my eyes shortly after half way through the third one o_o That was amazing. It really makes me wish I was on the front lines of discovery for that. Not even discovering it, but I just wish I was here when Pikol's Dam was uncovered x]

I can't believe the theories about something... tangible in the East Coast were disproved, though. That's kind of unfortunate. I guess the only thing that's left is a 17th Colossus, but that was the most farfetched of them all.

I feel like I missed something major, though. What was Pikol using? Our methods of exploration, back in the day [haha], were just exploring. I mean, I remember the macroing controller guy who looked at the top of the tower, but we didn't have many Game Shark codes if I recall correctly, did we? Pikol can't possibly just have glided all the way there with his parachute, right? What did he use?

He used an emulator. As I recall, this lead to many additional glitches, one of which allowed him to launch himself high into the air. He used this for exploration.

Be sure to check out his other videos. In one of them he's able to actually walk around higher up in the temple.

That's astounding! I thought we found out that nothing was actually touchable up there a while back. Pikol sounds like quite the explorer.
