Cheats for Ico for PS2

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.

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

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.

After you beat the queen, wait until after the credits roll. Another cut scene will play, then you will take control of Ico on the beach. Move far down the coast to the left and you will find a surprise!

The mace is not necessary to complete the game, but defeats shadow spectres with 3 hits, making it the weapon of choice! When you reach the "Upper Courtyard", you'll have to make your way through the building along the pipes, out the window and push the box to the edge of the water so that you can jump over. Once you do what you have to do (no spoilers) and return to the area, you will have to pull a switch near the staircase to open the door. Right near the switch is a tree. Swipe at the tree a few times with your weapon. A ball will fall out. Take the ball up the stairs, and look to your left. Located between the two stairways you will see the middle is slightly a different shade of brick. Drop the ball and push on this middle area. The wall will revolve and you will enter a secret room. Have Yorda and Ico stand on the raised pedestal. A stone basket will pop up. Take the ball to the left or right of the basket and try to throw it in the basket. Standing near the wall helps. Once you get the ball into the basket, a mace will fly through the window.
