E3 Demo Version

1.

In the E3 Demo, this track is set up to play for the introduction cutscene of the 5th colossus' arena (Eel, the 7th colossus in the final game). The cutscene can't be activated by normal means, but by adding the trigger back to the collision, it can be played.

2.

This track is also set up to play for the introduction cutscene of the 9th colossus' arena (Bird, the 5th colossus in the final game). The cutscene can't be activated by normal means, but by adding the trigger back to the collision, it can be played. It only has 1 frame of animation, and lasts only a couple seconds.

3.

Finally, this track is set up to play for the introduction cutscene of the 13th colossus' arena (Poseidon, the 12th colossus in the final game). The cutscene can't be activated by normal means, but by adding the trigger back to the collision, it can be played.

Trivia

• This song is named after the arena of the 16th colossus.
• In the ADPCM sheet list found within the files, this track is known as "cave". This indicates that it most likely was not meant to be related to the 16th colossus' arena originally.
• In the E3 Demo, this track was curiously set up to play for the introduction cutscene of three arenas that feature a lake, instead of the more appropriately named "Lakeside" track. The arenas were: Lakeside, Canyon, and Poseidon's Lake.
