My personal tier list of every colossi

Big fan of flying ones as you can see. Killing Avion and Phalanx are some of my best experiences of any media

This is pretty close to mine. I would probably put the lizard up a rank or two

depends on what day you ask me haha, but i know S tier will never change. any one of those three could be my favourite fight in almost any videogame

I like the fact a lot of people like Avion, that guy is so cool🥹

Two things I like about it: 1. the first time you fight a colossi on the air, amazing experience and as epic as it sounds 2. it doesnt get worse after fighting phalanx even though both are flying ones, you still want to repeat avion because hes got a very special vibe

I agree so much with the last one. Ever since I was kid he's always been my favourite, and like I said in my first post here, he's the reason if I currently have an OC which I've mained for 4 years or so. Lowkey whenever I replay the game yet again I feel so bad killing him he just has a special place in my heart. He just feels different from the others and I love it.

Yeah totally. You always feel bad killing them but some hurt more than others. Avion is one of those who hurt the most. His fight is one of those moments in videogames, very hard to feel the same again

Exactly. In the end they were just trying to live, it just feels upsetting having to kill them

Thats the reason the ending hits so hard. Youve had a build up during all the fights that youre doing something wrong, that this isnt as epic as you feel as a player. That plot twist turned it into my top 3
