Ico Cheats (PlayStation 2)

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.

After reaching the top of the waterfall area, to the left of the switch you pulled is a
tall tree. Swipe at it with your sword until you make contact. A ball will fall from its
branches. Take the ball up the stairs, into the opened room, and drop it. You will notice
tree arches between the two stairs going to the upper level of the room. Go to the middle
arch and push on one side of it to make it revolve and reveal a secret room. Go back and
take the ball (and Yorda) and enter the secret room . Hop into the idol pedestal with
Yorda and a basket will appear. Take the ball and shoot it into the basket. A mace will
fly through the window. It is more powerful then the sword and the 2x4. You can take out a
standard Ghout in three swings. To get the Mace, you do not need to do the "get the ball
in the basket" routine. Before getting on the idol pedestal, actually place the ball in
the square on the ground, where the basket will appear. When you step on the idol
pedestal, the ball will fly up and land back in the basket.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Upon completion of the game, not only do you get to control Yorda and have different
music, but her subtitles are now in English rather than in hieroglyphics.

Note: Pause the game and press L2 to save anywhere. When you load the game, you
must sit on the couch once so the save menu appears. After that you can save anywhere,
even without Yorda.

When turning big wheels, as when shutting off the water, turn from the farthest point to
go faster.

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.
