Shadow of the Colossus Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Shrine of Worship — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims 'Ancient carvings suggest the shrine was the site of the sealing ritual, not built to house fragments after banishment.' This is not supported by established canon; the game does not confirm the shrine as the site of the seali
