Colosse de Bronze GOW III

The Bronze Talos is an enemy in God of War III. It is similar to the Stone Talos, only larger and stronger.

They are made from the same metal as the Colossus of Rhodes and wield a massive club. In the game, Kratos must fight them head-on. If the Bronze Talos receives any damage, it begins to heat up. The more damage it receives, the more it heats up, changing its metallic body from yellow to orange, red, and white-hot; further damage causes parts of its body to explode, revealing blue energy coursing beneath its shell. When it loses six pieces of its body, a quick time event can be initiated; if successful, Kratos smashes the Bronze Talos to pieces with its own club.

Kratos encounters these statues twice in the game; during the Poseidon's chamber when escorting the Poseidon Princess to her death and during the first Trial of the Labyrinth, where Kratos could ride on the Cerberus Mongrel to help him defeat the Bronze Talos.
