Conquering Shadow of the Colossus requires mastering the colossal lizards' weak points, including their vulnerable tails. However, effectively targeting these tails poses unique challenges. The lizards' quick reflexes and erratic movements make precise strikes difficult. Additionally, their massive size and protective scales can hinder the accuracy of ranged attacks. To overcome these obstacles, players must utilize strategic positioning and exploit specific openings during the lizards' animations.

To successfully sever the black lizards' tails, players should focus on predicting their movements and identifying moments of vulnerability. By observing the lizards' attack patterns and exploiting their recovery animations, players can create openings for precise tail strikes. Additionally, employing ranged weapons, such as the bow and arrow, can provide a safer approach, allowing players to maintain a distance while targeting the lizard’s tail. Mastering the timing and accuracy of these attacks is crucial for efficiently vanquishing the colossal lizards.
