Easy Way to Kill the Last Colussus
Entry Location:
Alright when you're battling the last Colossus, and you climb up on his back to stab him, his hand appears for you to jump onto. Now, normally your supposed to climb up his arm after stabbing his hand, but instead he should flail his hand to give you just enough time to jump on his head (it's easier if you have the Mask of Strength) or try to do a jump stab!
