ZOTAC NVIDIA: what are Colossal Ruins in Alice Madness returns?

what are Colossal Ruins in Alice Madness returns?
Those players who are an SOB to kill and then, when they start running after you, forget it especially when they start blasting fire. Has anyone figured out a way to bring them down? Basically I just throw everything I have got at them until they fall I concentrate on the baby head at some point but I don’t know what I have done yet to make it emerge.. so please let me know what is the colossal Ruins in this game.

A great way to beat them is to use the environment to obstruct them. In the 1st battle, you can't win it in the 2nd battle, it's much harder as their is open space between you and it. The 3rd appearance Vale of Doom, you can you the smaller gaping hole in the area to circle around it and Pepper Grind it, also, when it uses it's fire it's Main Head is exposed, if you obstructed it correctly, you can shoot it to end it's sequence early.

In the fourth appearance the area is obviously small. But there are stairs you can jump onto at the right, and another set to jump higher for extra protection. And then there's a fallen column to the left that is followed by a keyhole accessible to by shrinking that leads to the cliff that overshadows the area. Which you can use weapons because throughout most of this encounter, the Colossal will use the Grab sequence when it finishes, just jump down and Pepper Grind/Teapot Cannon it. When it's "Grab" begins again, jump onto the broken stairs or dodge toward the keyhole to restart the process.

You can kill it. It never ran away in a scene for me. You've got to kill it to break the barrier there. In the beginning it's a pain in the ass and takes forever to do, but once you playthrough the game once and beat some Radula Rooms and bump your health. They're easier. A fully upgraded Teapot and Pepper Grinder can take them out pretty quick. I hope that you are getting my point here and also must have solved your confusion.

What's been said is a good way to kill them so follow that until you've upgraded weapons more, after that you're going to be tough enough to take them on head-on and the battles won't last long at all. You can do a lot of different things but grinding it's heads and then using the teapot with a fully charged attack when it's coming at you with fire will cause it to 'stop' and give you a free chance to use either the Hobby Horse or Vorpal Blade on it's head. It can be tedious when they use their attacks like grabbing or shooting doll heads at you or raining down blasts that do some major damage.

When the colossal ruin charges at you use shrink and run. Then listen for the gurgle because it starts gurgling when it stops running. Then use your umbrella and block the bombs. Good Luck!
