So it opens itself up to more interpretation. For what it's worth, because ICO is considered the sequel, I find its ending more worthy of discussion because you don't have a game after it to give you a better idea as to how it ends like you do for Shadow of the Colossus. This also means that Mono and the boy had found a way out, along with some other theories that are potentially spoilers for ICO. However, around forty generations of horned boys have passed, and in this game, these children are considered cursed. Shadow of the Colossus is considered the spiritual successor (albeit more of a prequel) to another game by the same folks, ICO, which is about a boy with horns. While it could be Wander reincarnated, he has been inflicted with Dormin's essence or curse, so it's not so much a second chance for Wander as it is for Dormin. Agro being unafraid of Mono suggests that he knows her, not surprisingly, and at the well, she finds an infant with horns. Mono awakes, Dormin having fulfilled his end of the bargain, and finds an injured Agro meeting her. Yaddi yadda, sword gets thrown into well, and the only known entrance is destroyed. Yaddi yadda, Wander gets stabbed, Dormin, now fully unsealed, takes control of the boy's body and attacks the others. Lord Emon arrives just after the last colossus, Magus, is defeated, to witness Wander return successful in his quest. A deal is struck where Wander will defeat these colossi in order for Dormin to revive Mono.Īs each colossus falls, the released spirits of Dormin inhabits Wander's body, changing his features more and more drastically with each felled colossus. Wander enters through the one known entrance, and is greeted by the voice of Dormin, a powerful spirit who was split up and sealed into sixteen colossi. The Shrine of Worship is supposedly where Dormin reigned before committing an "unforgivable act" which led the people who lived there to not only seal him but also leave the entire area (leading to all the abandoned ruins). After him is Lord Emon and a group of men who wish to retrieve the sword, knowing what lies in the Forbidden Land. Wander, the boy, rides away to the Forbidden Land with the body of a dead girl, Mono, who was killed due to having a "cursed fate", and a very special sword that he stole. r/CoOpGaming - A community for co-op gaming r/xboxone - Xbox-specific subreddit for general Xbox news and discussion r/playstation, /r/PS4 & /r/PS5 - PlayStation-specific subreddits for general PlayStation news and discussion r/pcgaming - PC gaming-specific subreddit for general PC gaming news, discussion and gaming tech support r/nintendo - Nintendo-specific subreddit for general Nintendo news and discussion r/shouldibuythisgame - Find out what's worth getting. r/gamingsuggestions - Go here to help you find your next game to play r/gaming4gamers - Discussion, bar the Hivemind
