Walkthrough
Shrine of Worship
The Shrine of Worship is where you begin the game. The nameless hero arrives on his trusty steed, with a seemingly dead girl in tow. After a bit of banter with the spirits that reside inside the Shrine, he'll learn what he needs to do in order to restore the girl to life: find and kill the 16 Colossi that roam the land. These colossi are incarnations of smaller icons within the Shrine itself, and killing them will destroy their icons, and give the hero the power required to restore his friend.
After the lengthy opening cutscene, you'll finally get the ability to run around with your character a bit, so you should definitely take the time to get used to the controls. There'll be a little jumping puzzle that you'll have to get through shortly, but for now, you can learn how to run around, jump, and so on and so forth.
When you're ready to go after your first prey, walk out onto the sunlit platform near the dias where your friend is lain and press the O button; this will raise your sword and let the sunlight focus on it. It'll light up a portion of the valley beyond, indicating where your first target is. To reach it, you'll need to use your horse, so climb aboard with the triangle key and start moving out, using the X button to speed the horse up.
When you reach the ruins far to the south, you'll get a cinematic view of your surroundings. There's no way to bring your horse up the cliff obviously, so you'll just have to climb up - this is the jumping puzzle we were talking about earlier. Almost all of your actions here can be performed with the triangle button (for jumping), the R1 button (for hanging on to vines and cliff edges), and the left analog stick, which will let you point yourself in the direction you need to jump.
To begin with, jump onto the vines near the bottom of the area, and use your R1 button to hang onto them. You can climb up with your left analog stick, or you can press and hold the triangle button to charge up another vertical jump. After that, it's pretty much cake; the only other difficult action involves jumping up to a ledge, using the stick to shift your position around the pillar the ledge is on, then jumping off in a different direction. To jump from one ledge to another, hold down R1 and the triangle button, tilt your stick in the direction you want to jump, then let go of the triangle button while still holding down the R1 button.
