Huge Data Mining Discoveries in Shadow of the Colossus! 

*"At the first public debut of Shadow of the Colossus, several Colossi were displayed in material distributed to the press. The bird-type Colossus (Phoenix) and spider-type Colossus were nearly completed."*

The spider is so late that its legs appear on Dormin's back at the end of the game.

It's not impossible to find one of these beta versions of SOTC that has some of the colossi excluded, last year they managed to find the prototype for the Shrek film

From what we know Monkey was the first cut, then Griffin, after that best guess would be Buddha getting changed into Malus while the others all survived into the RHB, the last two cut were probably Roc and Worm

Here is the order that I believe in which they were cut, earliest to newest; 10. Saru 9. Evis 8. Griffin 7. Yamori 6. Worm 5. Sirius 4. Devil 3. Phoenix 2. Spider 1. Roc

I think it's the second option somewhat, bluepoint likely received the source code of the game, and forgot to delete the unused sheets

@@teamstage0987 lets thanks bluepoint later hauahahaha

It was discovered January of this year (2021), yeah its has been recently discovered

@@labradorgemer4577 thats a lie, its been known about for awhile

They are, two separate projects are doing that; Beyond the Forbidden Lands, which’s stems for accuracy and Tribute, which stems for unique gameplay

Please help us

Those colossi are likely to be earlier versions of the final 16: Griffin B is Celosia, Tobiuo is Hydrus... etc

@@mrroblinx But what is kubonaga?

@@mrroblinx this makes sense but like knigth_b don't make sense because like it needed to knigth_a to exist,and saru_b is a variant of an alredy deleted colossi.

@@Daniel_Kaiba Gaius (3) is referred as knight by the developers. Anyway the fan made wiki has a lot of info, try this:(teamico.fandom.com/wiki/Colossi_Stages ) maybe it can help teamico.fandom.com/wiki/Unused_Colossi Here they even mention the ones you listed. The only ones without any evidence are Buffalo, Yeti and Kubonaga.

Tb Man.. Principalmente o monkey

@@PedroCage doente

@@Mr.Vanims doente é tu heuhe... O que mais fascina é o mistério fio

@@PedroCage cara a cagada do monkey pelo que o próprio vídeo mostra ele quase não tem linha de programação, praticamente não fizeram movimentação pra ele e nem programaram a inteligência artificial,ou seja,se os fãs forem refazer a luta dele vai ter que ser tudo inventado ou seja,o que veremos vai ser mais trabalho de fã do que algo que se aproxima do que realmente o monkey foi

It isn't actually the weakpoints that are missing, just the sigils. Early in development the colossi didn't have sigils to show the weak points meaning devil was cut before they were added to his model

Unused song from SOTC called "Anger"

That or the PS3 version was ported from a complete, but pre-release, version of the game?

No this codes Are just in PS3 version because bluepoint at the time have the access to all the original archives from the Development that was give it to them by Team ico to make the resmatered and they just forget to deleted that codes from the final version of PS3

No, yeti is only referenced as a “boss” and nothing else is known

The early Kuromori looks very different to the early Yamori_A.

It shows every texture used by the unused colossi and unused arenas, that helps a lot in figuring out in which quadrants they lived. It also brought us the chip data that gives us an idea of how a quadrant looked like. We also know the order in which the colossi were created thanks to the sheets. They also list a lot of unused objects and functions which don't exist anymore, and a lot of times they are essencial to figuring out how the unused colossi worked. For example, because of the sheet data we know that: Spider shot lasers like Basaran, Phoenix and Devil used to fly, H4 and F8 were not colossi quadrants originally, and much more. We'll be talking about a lot of these things in the future, so wait until then.

@@teamstage0987 holy shit that's huge!! Thanks for translating for me. I'm really into the unused collosi stuff but i am not very technical and understand coding and faces like that. That is truly amazing!! Was anything found on the yeti collosi or anything big on dionin worm? Everytime i look things up on Dionin all i hear is that he is the least known of the unused collosi and all his pics look like art more then actual game screenshots, ive also wondered who was the original end colosi? Was it always Malus? I know this will get covered and i cant wait for it then, I'm subbing. Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful discoveries! Those are truly huge!

@@nonnone7060 It seems like they didn't have a final boss before Buddha (Early Malus) was made into one (Evis/Final Malus). In old footage, the final boss statue has a placeholder Valus statue, so it does just seem like they didn't decide until very late. That's my take on it.

@@Jaikhay231 I always felt malus was out of place in terms of a final colossi. Espically looking at the unused collosi like Abeth and Dionin, they seemed wayy more crazy then any of the colossi we had. Like 3 minatours?? Malus always seemed to me like "wow its impressive that he's the biggest" but he wasn't that special enough to be the LAST one. Dionin would seem more fitting. Or even Abeth who was creepy. I always imaged that Abeth's body would be the size of a building and look like one, where you would enter inside and then realize you are IN the collosi. Then he would rise from the ground and you would have to get down from him instead of going up to actually fight him with agro as he moves around the map

@Xxero Chronicles Dionin as the final boss? Sorry but that wouldn't be good at all, it was just a worm, don't believe in the "worm was the largest and most powerful colossus" rumors, or any rumor related to it period lol. I think Evis is the perfect final boss, as even they couldn't come up with a better one

Saru_A is monkeys name in the code

@@KrateKarrot saru = monkey in japanese.
