The Green Cape is a location and one of 24 save shrines in Shadow of the Colossus.

Description

It is a moderately small area in the eastern side of the Southern Plain. The lands here are mostly flat, but there are a lot of fruit trees and white-tailed geckos to be found along the cliffside.

This area contains the stonehenge-like monument that was meant to be used in the fight against Sirius, one of the unused colossi.

Location

Located in the southeastern part of the Forbidden Lands bordering quadrants G7 and G8, though it is listed as being in the former.

Significant nearby areas

• Travel northeast along the cliffside to reach the Eastern Bluff.
• The Southern Plain is just west of here, as is the sealed door guarding the way to the 16th colossus' lair (much of which can be seen from the Green Cape's save shrine).
• A cave that leads to a cliffside exists in the south, it only houses to a white-tailed gecko.

Trivia

• The stonehenge monument wasn't always placed in this location, as it was used in the fight against Sirius and in early screenshots of G7 found in the Nico bonus DVD, it is nowhere to be seen.
• The PS3 stage segment sheets list a unused layer model for G7 with a single chip where the current stonehenge monument resides. This could mean that it was placed there in this layer before being integrated into the main seamless models.
  • Interestingly, the chip name is "g7_d5_...". Suggesting that perhaps the stonehenge monument was placed at D5 at some point prior to G7.
• In the E3 Demo, there exists a narrow cave leading to a dead-end near the cliff edge. There exists what seems to be a path below and a submerged beach, but they can't be accessed.
