Shadow of the Colossus

- If you see any white lizards, run to them and pick them up (I forget how). You'll munch on them and increase your grab meter. Also, using your sword will reveal the bosses' weak points, and it can be pretty useful. Some of the collosi are a little tricky though, and take some extra work rather than just climbing to a point and stab stab stab.

- There are different kinds of drain on stamina depending where and how you are holding on. If you are grabbing on a level piece of giant and he is not moving around, your stamina will not move. If you are grabbing unto the wings of a bird and hanging upside down, your stamina will drain really fast.

- To regain stamina, stand up on the above mentioned leveled areas or a place it is really hard to fall off (Second Boss: Good example because the shell structure on his back forms as a sort of playpen. You can stay in there and be tossed around forever but you will still gain strength

- Jump and hit the same button to grab to quick mount the horse from the side.

- The horse is smart. If you come across a twisty bridge or complicated path that isn't too sharp, don't touch the controls and just keep holding down the run button. It will auto-navigate. This is a godsend since you will, half the time, have to run across that bridge near the temple for half of the gods.
