In a closed valley, accessible only from a small crack in the montains, lies Phaedra, the fourth Colossus. This is the Colossus with the worst gameplay: the puzzle to get it on its knees is not natural to pull off, neither is well designed in my opinion. Nonetheless, the fact that it’s almost completely carved in stone makes of it one of the most beautiful and artsy. This set has been created via PCSX2 Emulator running at 1920×1080, Ps2 textures rendering x4, Hardware Antialiasing x1, OFFSET HACK enabled to remove some shading issues, ELIOTCOUGAR’S HACK enabled to remove the disturbing Team Ico’s signature-bloom. Last update: January 2012.
