Phaedra is the fourth colossus. This large horse-like giant makes its home in a vibrant alcove dotted with a few ruins in quadrant G5 of the map.

Tips and tricks
- It is possible, though difficult, to jump off of Agro and onto a "ledge" on one of Phaedra's back legs. When the leg moves down, quickly make a few well-timed jumps without losing your balance to get up onto its back. Phaedra is considered to be one of the most difficult colossi to defeat in Time Attack; this is a huge time saver if one can pull it off.
- One can also get Phaedra's attention while standing on the hills, wait until it's as close as possible, and then jump towards the dangling columns on its head. In order to do that, the player should be standing on the highest point of the hill.
Origin of given and Latin name
Phaedra
- In Greek mythology, Phaedra is the daughter of Minos, wife of Theseus and the mother of Demophalon and Acamas. According to mythology, she told Theseus that Hippolytus, Theseus' son with another woman, had raped her. Theseus then cursed Hippolytus' horses, causing them to drag their rider into the sea to his death.
Equus Bellator Apex
- Equus simply means "horse" in Latin.
- Bellator means "war" in Latin, while Apex means "summit" or "highest honor".
- Equus Bellator Apex can be more directly translated as "elite war horse".
Music
- Upon entering Phaedra's alcove, the short track Green hills plays.
- Once Phaedra rises and begins following Wander, Creeping Shadow plays.
- The Opened Way plays once Wander begins to climb Phaedra, and continues to play until the colossus is defeated.
Trivia
- Phaedra is the joint second tallest of all the colossi, standing at a rough height of 98ft/30m; this is roughly the same height at which Quadratus stands. The only colossus that stands taller is Malus, who is almost twice as tall as Phaedra's highest point.
- Phaedra's total length is around 89ft/27m.
- Like Pelagia, Phaedra possesses a set of skeletal ribs protuding from its underbelly.
- Phaedra makes very unusual sounds; when stabbed by Wander, it makes a very high-pitched, almost deer-like whining/whelping sound. The noise is somewhat similar to that made by Phalanx when it dies.
- The fight against Phaedra is similar to the fight against Barba; in both instances, Wander must lead the colossus to the entrance of some ruins which he must then hide within. He then has to wait for the colossus to bend/kneel down and peer into the entrance of the ruins in an attempt to find him. By leaning down to search for Wander, Phaedra lowers its head making the two rock columns dangling from either side of its head accessible, (in the fight against Barba, Barba's beard acts as the same point of access) allowing Wander to climb up them and onto the colossus.
