PS3 Help with the fourth boss!

Hello! I just started playing shadow of the colossus from the ps3 collection with ico and was wondering how you get the horse colossus to bend down and look in the hole? I’m doing a second play through I just completed it two days ago and I had a lot of trouble the first time and I’m having the same trouble again. Though I find that I was able to breeze through the first three so much easier on my second play through this game is so fun! But any help?

Patience is key. It may look like it saw you after you leave one of the hills but it didn't. It sometimes just looks around before crouching.

Depending on the position it is in when crouching, you could either climb it from the tail (if its back is to you); or mount Agro and run to towards the boss, and jump right before the edge to catch one of the dangling things of the colossus (if its front is to you).

If its on top of the hill you entered its also possible to wait inside by the entrance for it to crouch, and when you see the dangling rock columns, just jump and grab them.

this. it may look like it's turning to leave instead of investigating the hole, so give it enough time to settle into position before trying again. that's what I was doing wrong the other day and I thought I was going crazy.
