Shadow Of The Colossus Walkthrough Part 37: Malicious Maneuvers

Malus is by and large exactly the same as it was before. Just it has more health and it does more damage. But your main focus in time attack will be consistency. The run is long and you don't want too many mishaps as time will be tight due to it's tendency to shake around a lot. Actually doing damage to it consistently will likely involve you running to it's left shoulder, poking it with your sword, then jumping up to it's head for a big stab while it is licking it's shoulder wound. There is risk to this though as it's rather easy to fall off of it running back and forth.

But when you're going for speed, no risk matters because your only goal is to have a winning run, not necessarily a safe run because the safe run will likely lead to failure in itself. Heck, if I knew how to do the maneuvers to get to Malus without doing the duck and cover strategy to go straight to him, I would because it's a massive time saver and essentially guarantees a successful run if you pull it off. (people going for world records will absolutely have to do the most efficient strategies like that though)

Hard Mode Time Attack:
0:36 #16 Malus
3:41 #16 Malus, Winning Run (and what a winning run it was!)
