Sixth Colossus - Temple Giant

The Temple is located to the southwest of the Shrine. You'll need to pass through a forested area, then a cave to reach it; you should come out to a wide-open plain, where the Temple will be built into a cliff face across the way. There's another save point to the northeast of the Temple, so feel free to take advantage of it before heading inside. You'll find the Temple in square D6 of your map.

When you enter the Temple, you'll find yourself in a large underground vault. Feel free to just jump from the top of the area down to the bottom below; you should survive, and meet the Temple Giant soon enough.

Attacks

As per the usual deal, this bipedal colossus will either smash you with its feet or attempt to whack you with his hand attack. Nothing you haven't seen before, but this guy is deceptively quick for his size, so be careful when you're caught out in the open.

If you're looking for a hint, we've got one word for you: facial hair. Well, that's really two words, but it's an emphatic two words.

As you might surmise, killing the Temple Giant isn't that hard - it's just a matter of finding out how to climb up onto his body. His legs are of no use to you, being covered in armor, and although there are fur patches on his wrists, it's difficult to get to them after he pounds his fist into the ground. You might be able to jump up onto his wrist from one of the many platforms in the area, but it's a difficult jump to make, and all of the platforms will eventually be destroyed as the Giant moves around, leaving you incapable of getting onto it...or is it?

In fact, if you look around the pit that you're in, you'll notice that there are some pillars on one end, with a small shadowed area underneath. What you have to do here is catch the colossus' attention, walk into the shadows, and wait for it to approach you. Like the Horse colossus earlier, it won't know where you are, but instead of attacking, it'll bend over for a good peek underneath the platforms, allowing you to jump onto its beard. From there, you need to climb up onto its head, where the first vital spot is located. After gaining back a bit of strength by standing on its back, pop the head spot, then crawl down its back and destroy the vital point there to finish the beast off.
