Hero Siege Garden Colossus - Where to Find Them
Garden Colossus are the big crabs in Misty Swamp, found in the first rooms left and right of the entrance. Part of a quest chain starting at Shujo Retreat.
If you are hunting Garden Colossus and cannot find them, the answer is almost certainly that you walked past them: they are the big crabs in the first rooms of Misty Swamp, immediately left and right of the entrance.
Where are the Garden Colossus?
5-2 Misty Swamp, in the first rooms left and right from the entrance. You do not need to clear the zone — they are at the start.
The quest requires slaying 2.
What is the full quest chain?
Garden Colossus is one step in a chain that starts a zone earlier:
| Step | Where | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5-0 Shujo Retreat | Talk to Um |
| 2 | 5-1 Mt. Fuji | Destroy 15 Corrupted Statues from the Misty Swamp |
| 3 | 5-2 Misty Swamp | Slay 2 Garden Colossus |
| 4 | 5-2 Misty Swamp | Report back to Um |
Note the wording on step 2: the statues are from the Misty Swamp but destroyed at Mt. Fuji (5-1). That phrasing is the source’s, and it is the step most likely to send you to the wrong zone.
Why are they hard to find?
Two reasons. The name suggests something large and central to the zone, while they are ordinary-looking crabs placed near the entrance. And because they are at the start rather than deep in, players clearing methodically often kill them without noticing and then look for them further in.
If your objective counter has already moved, you found them.
This hunt fits into the wider Hero Siege quest overview and uses the same procedural-world assumptions explained in the zone and map guide. If you are clearing early Act 1 objectives, the Pest Control route is the other documented quest path to plan alongside it.
Next step
Enter Misty Swamp and check the first rooms on both sides before going any deeper — two kills completes the step.
