He seeks the Dormin, a strange and God-like being that resides there.
The Dormin is surprised that the man carries an ancient and magical sword, and speaks to the man.
The man pleas for his help in bringing back the woman's cursed soul, however the being says it is the law of mortals that a dead soul cannot be brought back.

The hero must embark on a quest to slay the sixteen colossi, giant creatures that tower hundreds of feet above the Earth.

About PlayStation 4

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Shadow of the Colossus (2018), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 4 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
