Fruit trees

The fruit tree map.

Fruit trees are trees found in the Forbidden Lands, the primary setting of the game Shadow of the Colossus.

Use

These trees, found primarily in the southern half of the Forbidden Lands, are climbable and bear several fruits that Wander may shoot down and eat. The fruit slightly increases his maximum health, extending his health meter (which can grow until it spans the bottom of the screen). Eating fruit will also replenish lost health, should the need arise.

There are 33 total fruit trees scattered across the lands (not counting those in the Secret Garden). The map showing their locations can be obtained in Time Attack on both difficulties.

Of eight varieties of fruit, the first seven will increase Wander's maximum health while the eighth, a variety only found in the Shrine of Worship, will decrease both his health and stamina capacities dramatically.

Notes

• With the exception of the smaller ones, all fruit trees can be scaled by way of moss on one side. However, not all climbable trees are fruit trees.
• In the 2018 remake of Shadow of the Colossus, Wander's head-tracking may be used to locate fruit hidden in a tree's foliage. If fruit remains in a tree, he will look toward the fruit as long as he is facing the tree. As soon as all fruit has been shot and eaten within the vicinity, he will resume looking straight ahead.

There are eight varieties of fruit in the Forbidden Lands. The first seven are fruit from normal fruit trees and will increase Wander's maximum health; the eighth variety is found in the garden and will dramatically decrease both Wander's maximum health and stamina.

Two fruits can be clearly seen.
