H2 is a unused location and quadrant that can't be found in any current versions of the game.

Description

It's impossible to know how H2 looked like besides being a path along the mountains. Its texture segment was nulled, but it's possible that it included textures similar to that of I2 and / or Parthenon.

Location

Located at quadrant H2, it used to connect to the 15th colossus' arena when it used to be located at H1; as well as I2.

History

• The location was only known at first by looking at the pause menu map from the Preview version, where a line coming from I2 and connecting to the ravine of the 15th colossus' arena can be seen. It is likely that the H2 shown in the pause menu map does not represent its actual contents, however.
• In an interview from the CG World magazine, a rough top view of H2 can be seen in an image detailing how the world changed over time.

Trivia

• Despite seemingly connecting to I2, the H2 shown in the CG world magazine and the I2 cliffside in-game don't match with each other.
  • I2, however, matches with the height map below the edit from the CG World magazine. Suggesting that the in-game I2 is from much earlier than this H2.
