The Misty Falls is a location and one of 24 save shrines in Shadow of the Colossus.

Description

It is an area distinguished by a wide river flowing south through a canyon with the aid of several gigantic waterfalls. The source of the river is a large, elevated lake where the 12th colossus dwells and ends in a larger lake in quadrant G4.

There exists a small forest that the player must enter through before getting to the save shrine and the 12th colossus. There isn't much to it, besides being a place that makes some players confused while going through it for the first time. The path outside, however, is just east of the entrance. A few doves make their home in this forest, flying around one of the rocks at the center of it.

The shrine is unique in that it is just a small portion of a regular shrine tucked away into the cliffside. The usual white-tailed gecko can still be found nearby. There are no fruit trees.

Location

Located in the northeastern part of the Forbidden Lands in quadrant G2. Its shrine is located in the center part of the region, just before Wander must make his way around the pillar that separates him from Agro.

Significant nearby areas

• As mentioned before, the 12th colossus' lair is the lake at the top of the falls.
• The canyon that the water flows through is the Half-moon Canyon; its shrine is located on the cliffside near the canyon center.
• The Cliff Path is the southeastern edge of the canyon; Wander travels along this path to reach the 5th colossus' lair.

Trivia

• The forest in this area was added fairly late into development. According to early ambient textures, super low resolution textures, and an early path data for the horse, the path to the shrine was only around the mountain, with no forest to enter.
• In the Preview and earlier versions of the game, the waterfall wasn't capable of pulling Wander.
• In the PS4 remake, there exists a broken piece of a save shrine hidden within the forest.
