To clear the Abyss Colossus in 23 seconds in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, you must bypass the entrance corridors using the retry spawn skip and eliminate the boss with a high-crit Derieri burst rotation before it triggers its defensive phase.

Executing this speedrun requires pre-buffing your squad, shredding the boss's defenses during its wake-up animation, and chaining Derieri's combo skills directly into her Ultimate to prevent the Colossus from landing knockdown attacks.

How to Execute the Arena Corridor Skip

Normal Abyss Colossus attempts require players to sprint through dungeon corridors for 15 to 20 seconds before reaching the boss chamber. You can bypass this walk entirely by manipulating squad respawn coordinates through the challenge retry feature:

  1. Enter the instance and approach the boundary threshold of the boss chamber.
  2. Open the challenge menu and trigger a challenge retry or reload.
  3. Upon reloading, the game spawns your squad directly at the inner arena boundary rather than the dungeon entrance arch.
  4. Dash forward across the threshold to trigger the encounter immediately.

If the reload places your squad back at the front entrance rather than the inner gate, abandon the attempt and re-enter. Running through the hallway wastes too much time to achieve a fast clear.

Team Composition Requirements

This strategy relies on Derieri as the primary damage dealer. Her damage scales compounding multipliers as long as she maintains an uninterrupted chain of physical hits. Because the Colossus does not resist neutral or Dark-aspected burst, Derieri can bypass standard elemental resistance penalties.

Before initiating the fight, consume attack-boosting food and cast all team-wide attack and critical buffs. Your support units must apply their effects before you step across the boss detection line.

23-Second Rotation Sequence

Once combat begins, complete the following steps without hesitation. Allowing the Colossus to act uninterrupted results in heavy ground slams that knock units down and reset combo counters.

  1. 0:00–0:04 (Engagement and Defense Shred): Step across the arena line to trigger the Colossus's rising animation. Instantly cast your debuffer's defense shred skill while the boss is locked in its wake-up movement.
  2. 0:05–0:10 (Derieri Combo Stacking): Quick-swap to Derieri and immediately start her multi-hit normal attack string against the Colossus's lower hitbox. Do not dash-cancel early; let all hits connect to stack her passive multiplier.
  3. 0:11–0:16 (Intermediate Stagger Burst): Activate Derieri's secondary offensive skill as soon as combo stacks are established. Dealing heavy critical damage here forces the boss past its first health breakpoint, triggering a momentary stagger that interrupts its ground-slam attack.
  4. 0:17–0:23 (Ultimate Detonation): Cast Derieri's Ultimate while full buff uptime and maximum combo stacks remain active. The Ultimate's damage must finish off the remaining health bar before the Colossus recovers from stagger and activates its stone-skin armor.

Reset Conditions

Restart the run immediately if any of the following failure points occur:

  • Corridor Spawn Failure: The retry spawn places your squad at the entrance arch instead of the boss room gate.
  • Non-Critical Burst: Derieri's secondary skill fails to critically strike between seconds 11 and 16, missing the stagger breakpoint.
  • Boss Knockdown: The Colossus completes its jumping earthquake attack. If your squad is knocked down, Derieri loses all combo stacks, rendering a sub-30-second clear impossible.
