Wander's Sword is the best way to damage it but Colossi can be damaged by other things such as arrows and gravity. Phalanx's biggest weakness is its gas bladders. If all 3 of them are damaged, its speed and the height it flies at will be reduced, allowing others to catch up to it. After being damaged, it'll be forced to burrow underground to regenerate.
