The Colossus of Cliffside was captured by cultists resembling humans at some point in the early history of Tyria. Nothing is known about this being or the cultists that captured it, only that their leader, called the Archdiviner, wielded a dangerous hammer resembling Entropy. Bakkin claims that the Colossus once strode over Dociu Excavation ages ago, suggesting that its existence is known to the Durmand Priory.
