Destroying The Smoke Creatures Easily
If you enter a room, and it is a clear run to the
portal on the other side, take Yorda by the hand
and run her to the portal with the black Smoke
Creatures chasing you. As you approach the
portal, Yorda's activation of the portal will
create lightning which will destroy the creatures
anywhere near you.
Finding Yorda
When in the last level with Ico's horns cut off
on the beach, go towards the left following the
shore of the beach to find Yorda.
Avoid Losing Yorda
To avoid losing Yorda, as soon as you set her
free press R1 and hold her hand, then run to the
door . You should also pick up the stick that
falls so you can defeat the Shadow Creatures
easily.
Share A Watermelon With Yorda
Ico can share a watermelon with Yorda at the very
end of the game. Note: This was done on the
second time through the PAL version of the game.
Take Yorda one of the watermelons sitting in the
sand dunes. They are also very satisfying to
smash.
Turning Wheels
When turning big wheels, as when shutting off the
water, turn from the farthest point to go faster.
Lightsaber Weapon
Successfully complete the game once, then start
another game. Follow the steps to where you got
the Mace in the first time, and this time you
will get a lightsaber that kills Smoke Creatures
in one hit .You must be holding Yorda's hand to
activate it.
Extra Puzzle (PAL Version)
An extra puzzle has been added in the room that
leads to the top of the waterfall garden in the
PAL version of the game. Whereas before you could
shimmy around the room on bars, now you can only
reach a switch. Pull this to start a giant wooden
piston in the room. To get to the window, stand
on the piston and press Jump just as it begins to
sink to the lowest point. You should be
catapulted up to a ledge. Just climb up to the
window.
Two-player Mode (PAL And Japanese NTSC Versions)
Successfully complete the game and wait for the
credits to end. Once you regain control of Ico,
look for Yorda near the seashore. A save prompt
will appear after the final ending. Save the game
and restart to have Yorda playable using
controller two and new music.
