Shadow of the Colossus Hints
Secret Garden
Successfully complete all four modes and have a large amount of stamina. Then, climb the back of the temple you first started in. Climb up the ivy and follow the trail all the way up and around the ledge to the right. Jump across at the other end of the ledge to reach the next set of ivy. Continue on until you get to another ledge above that you must climb around. Once at the other side of this ledge, climb to the right then shimmy across another ledge that leads behind a column. Jump to the ivy-covered column, then continue climbing. The ivy will lead to a walkway. Climb the stairs and walkway to the left of the garden. A sequence will begin and the seventeenth Colossus will appear. Defeat the Colossus to open the path to the top of the temple. Note: Eating fruit from the trees in the garden causes damage.

End of the World
After you get to the secret garden specified above by others hints, go to the main door you see right when you get up there. Turn directly around and head down that huge bridge you came in on. It takes awile, but at the very end you will find a split between 2 rocks. If you try to walk into it, it will just blow you away.
