Colossus Fifteen - Fallen Sentry
The penultimate colossus is located in square G1, to the north of the Shrine. If you follow the elevated bridge to the north, then head east from where you fought the Flame Guardian, you'll see a pretty distinctive ruined castle. Head inside, climb the large stairs, then walk the length of the field beyond to meet the Fallen Sentry.
Attacks
As per the biped colossus mode, the Fallen Sentry will either try to smash you with its sword, or stomp you with its feet if you're especially close to it. Also as per usual, taking advantage of these attacks will let you defeat the beast.
Killing It
Like with the Destruction Luster, you're going to need to make use of the way the Fallen Sentry's interactions with the environment in order to wound it. First you'll need to use its stomp attack, then its sword attack.
If you want a more specific answer to the puzzle here, begin by standing near one of the staircases on either side of the middle area of the field. You can't jump up to the staircase from the platform beneath it; it's just too high for you to reach. Fortunately for you, the Sentry's foot stamping ability can actually bend the platform and raise one end of it into the air, enough for you to clear the jump. Just stand at the bottom of the stairs, wait for the colossus to try and stomp you, then dodge out of the way and quickly make it back to the platform to jump up.
When you reach the second level of the area, where there are a number of columns, you'll come to another dead end. In order to proceed on your ascent, you'll have to stand still for a bit until the Sentry takes a swing at you with his sword. This should knock out a bit of the ceiling area here, as well as knock a column over, allowing you to climb to the uppermost level of the cliff.
Now that you've completed your climb, walk out onto one of the suspended walkways, but take a good look at it; you should notice a very subtle shading difference in the surface of the walkway. This denotes where the walkway will fragment when the giant takes a swing at you, and swing he will; be sure you're on the part of the walkway that's not going to get broken!
After the walkway is busted, stand on the edge of it and wait for the giant to approach. If you equip your sword here, you should be able to spot the primary vital spot atop his head, so get stabby and start wearing down the beast's health.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to kill the Sentry just by stabbing its head; you'll need to find another vital spot in order to destroy it completely. To do so, crawl down its right arm (the one holding the sword), and find the weak spot on it, just above the elbow. Stabbing this weak spot will cause the beast to drop its sword, and reveal the vital spot in the palm of its hand.
To reach this final vital spot, you'll need to stand in front of the Sentry, causing it to attempt to smash you with its hand. If you dodge the hand smash, you'll be able to walk up to the palm and latch onto it as it's rising back up into the air. After a couple of stabs you should finish the colossus off. Congrats!
