Colossus Thirteen - Traildrifter
The Traildrifter is located in square E6. To reach it, you'll have to travel from the shrine to the eastern boarder of E5, travel west through the forest there, then wrap around to the south to reach the desert. If you poke around in the desert for a bit, the colossus will pop up out of the sand.
Attacks
Are there any? We didn't happen to take any damage during our fight with the Traildrifter, as it serenely floated along in the air above our heads, without appearing to notice us. You can still get hurt if you fall off its back, or run into it when it hits the ground, but this is relatively easy to avoid.
Killing It
We hope you're ready to feel like Indiana Jones, because the "fight" with the Traildrifter will definitely get you in the right mood for it. If you're just looking for a hint, a pretty easy one to guess is that this fight will require a bit of work with your bow.
One of the difficulties here lies in actually following the Traildrifter; it moves so quickly that it can be difficult to get into a point where you can actually hit it with your arrows. As you might surmise from looking at the creature, you're going to be aiming at the white bulbs on its underside; you'll need to hit the bulbs in the midsection and the bulb all the way at the rear in order to wound the beast and cause it to drop down to the ground. Ride your horse and try to get in front of the colossus. When you notice that it's about to give you a flyby, whip out your bow and take aim.
After you've hit all three rows of bulbs, the Traildrifter will drop down to the sand and begin refilling them. So, apparently it's loading itself down with sand to enable it to fly...makes sense. Anyway, this is your chance to strike! In order to get onto the beast's back, you'll need to get onto your horse, speed up towards the front of the beast, ride alongside the wings that are dragging in the sand, and jump from your horse onto the wings and latch on. (We told you this would make you feel like Indiana Jones.) This is going to be a difficult jump to manage, especially if you get unlucky and the colossus starts to turn before you're ready; you might want to check the videos on this page for an example of a good jump.
The Traildrifter has three vital points, spaced out along its back. You'll probably have to jump onto it at least three times to get them all, as it will eventually plunge into the sand when you start to hurt it, but once you get the basics of jumping from the horse to the wings, you should be able to polish it off in short order.
