Oh man number 12
I killed him in the stupidest way possible, nobody I've ever asked has ever heard of anyone killing it like I killed it.
But I kind of did the same thing with Number 4.
I was stupid, sure, but I looked awesome doing it....

Go on, how did you do it? Shot arrows at him until he died?
Number 4 was a pain, too, until I figured out what to do.

Speed runners often wait until Number 12 is about to attack in order to jump onto his face and skip the whole "climb up the back of him" thing.
That is not what I did.
I got him near the first level of those two-tiered platforms and stood on the highest rock, and leaped for his face when it was at the lowest point of the natural movement of his head outside of the attack phase. The timing is not just tricky, it is absurd. If I hadn't managed to grab onto his face doing it that way, I would have thought it was impossible.
I did that because I didn't think you could swim around him to get behind him. *cough* I did this three times. Each one took about thirty minutes.
Number 4 was even worse, in a way, but considerably more awesome.
What I would do is whistle at a spot way past the holes in the hill - so instead of just having him look in the holes when I ran inside of them to escape his line of sight, he would walk past them, looking around for me. Whenever he did that, I would come out the other side, hop on Agro, and charge head long for him. I would have Agro come to the top of the hill that the colossus had walkd past, and just before Agro would stop or jump (I forget which) I would leap off of Agro's back, sailing thirty or forty feet through empty air to make a grab at the monster's tail.
It took over a dozen tries, but I've neever done anything that epic in a video game before or since. I did it wrong, but it was way, way too awesome.
