Final Step: The Crater - Abyss of the Flame (Arena of the 11th Colossus) - THE RETURN
There are three images of different scrolls that repeat themselves on the wall, in which, they are not very clear images to be seen. So we have the illustrative images to the right of the three scrolls that were most visually detailed through Nomad Colossus on his blog. Each parchment (in the images above the right and below) shows a procedure to be done in relation to the alleged Last Big Secret:
The wall-door that all players thought would be revealed the "Last Big Secret," may actually be a game hint that a certain door should be opened as a device to release the Secret Ending, in which, it may be referring the mysterious door of the Arena of 15th Colossus.
The Two Crosses
In the image above, the two concrete floors showing the two crosses formed on the map through the 8 stone blocks indicate that the center of the two crosses can reveal the Last Big Secret.
What is the relation between the Southern Mountain (Arena of the 1st colossus) and the Abyss of the Flame (Arena of the 11th colossus)?
As the "Message Hidden through the Sky" reveals the sketch of a bird drawn on the map, we can see that the group of birds flying over the head of the 1st colossus are the same as the group of birds that fly inside the crater in the 11th colossus, in aspect of how it was programmed the function of these birds in the game.
Finally, was the Last Big Secret of Shadow of the Colossus is discovered?
Are the birds that fly inside the crater in Arena of the 11th Colossus the device that releases the Secret Ending? These birds, also scattered around the game with a brownish tone on their bodies were nicknamed by some players of "loki", however some think that these birds are hawks others say they are eagles. As there is no consensus, let's call them "birds."
As the procedure must be done in the intervals of the 14th colossus and 15th colossus, the birds flying over the head of the 1st colossus are no longer there at this point in the game, so we must begin the procedure in the Arena of the 11th colossus and finish it in the Arena of the 15th colossus (mentioned in the symbols of the two currencies of the columns, near the enormous gate, in the Arena of the 16th colossus).
However, what looks easy is terribly cruel! Be prepared for those who believe in the existence of the Last Big Secret, for if to elaborate all these theories involving the Last Big Secret was a "huge nightmare," then to try to enable a possible Secret Ending, it could be a "real hell"!
The first parchment shows the image of a man jumping from a parachute as he plunges off a cliff and tries to catch a bird's tail.
- The second scroll shows the image of this same man hanging on a bird that takes him to a mysterious place.
- The third parchment shows the image of a certain door being opened.

The Symbol concerning the Message Hidden through the Sky
Illustrative image taken from the Nomad blog
One of the best-known Shadow of the Colossus fans, Nomad Colossus, analyzed in his blog that the "Message Hidden through the Sky" picture is represented as the map of the 11th Colossus Arena. The link for your review: http://nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.br/search?updated-min=2013-01-01T00:00:00%2B11:00&updated-max=2014-01-01T00:00:00%2B11:00&max-results=4
In his analysis, in the image above the map of the Arena of the 11th colossus, it shows the marked earthy steps of yellow color, the two lakes marked blue, the Temple of Fire marked red and the corridor of the three hidden messages marked green color.
Your observation may have been fundamental, for the "Message Hidden through the Sky" symbol may reveal that the Last Big Secret is actually located within the 11th Colossus Arena (the center of the first cross formed on the map with the 4 stone blocks marked on huge bridge). Does this mean that the Theory of Intersecting Points formulated by Ascadia-PSU is correct? Does the Last Big Secret really exist to the point where hackers can not discover the existence of secret content behind the game disc?
The Map Arrow
In the fourth step of the mystery, in the Broken Seal where the map arrow indicated the broken part of the egg, in the images above, the egg drawn on the map can represent the "crater" of the Arena of the 11th colossus and the broken part of the egg can represent the Last Big Secret inside the huge crater. The "Message Hidden through the Sky" reveals that the sketch of the bird's drawing on the map is the Last Big Secret, and the procedure to be done is related to this bird drawn on the map. But this bird is not the colossus Roc, since the legendary Black Bird can be a "dragon", much less the phoenix.
