When told that killing sixteen colossi is the only way for Mono to regain her life and that it will exact upon Wander a deathly price, he simply states that “it doesn’t matter.” It’s these narrative beats that lend credence to the implementation of ma. When Wander places Mono on a stone slab within the mammoth structural improbability known as the Shrine of Worship, he bargains with the entity Dormin for the girl’s life. It’s also never explained why her fate was considered cursed.
The player is not told why the lands they enter are forbidden, nor why Wander is willing to go to such great lengths to reclaim the life of the woman he carries. And, as its name suggests, Lord Emon concludes his brief monologue by stating that entering the Forbidden Lands is strictly prohibited. He quickly explains that the Forbidden Lands are an archaic place not fully understood by human beings, where legend suggests that the dead can be brought back to life. There is nothing spoken as the game’s main character Wander makes his great journey to the Forbidden Lands to resurrect a girl by the name of Mono, who had previously been sacrificed because of her “cursed fate.” After showing Wander travel beyond treacherous cliffside passages, lavish forests and other murky terrains, we hear the voice of Lord Emon, a spiritual leader from Wander’s home. From the game’s opening, “ Colossus” refuses to bombard the player with exposition, and continuously withholds itself from convoluting the narrative with unnecessary dialogue.
