The Eleventh Colossus is the eleventh enemy fought by Wander in Shadow of the Colossus. Like the game's other Colossi, it is a large golem that appears to be at least partially constructed from stone. This Colossus resembles a lion or boar and is located in a ruin at the bottom of a deep gorge far to the north of the Shrine of Worship. It is the first of the game's two smallest Colossi; along with Cenobia, they each measure roughly three meters in height. What the Eleventh Colossus lacks in stature, however, is balanced by its extreme speed and aggression.
The battle begins after Wander jumps over a gap and onto a large stone platform overlooking the gorge. Here the heavily-armored Colossus will immediately attack, forcing the player to scramble up onto one of the four stone braziers at each corner of the platform. Eventually the creature will ram the lit brazier, causing a wooden stick to shake loose that Wander can retrieve and re-light. Taking advantage of the Eleventh Colossus' fear of fire allows Wander to force the creature to retreat over the platform's opposite edge, causing it to fall into the gorge below and shattering its armor. Wander can then jump onto the Colossus' unarmored back and strike its weak spot.
