ICO - Alternate ending myth

This video is about the so called 'alternate ending' in Ico - just like the alternate ending myth in Shadow of the Colossus. In essence, the idea is you have to play the game eight times, saving at the last save point on each save file (at the main gate).
After doing this, the game will start with Ico holding the 'Queen's sword' - that is, Ico will start a new game with a powerful weapon that we only get at the very end of the game - this is total 'bullshit'!
This should raise alarm bells! It's asking us to do the most amount of work possible for an 'unseen' ending. Note: There has never been any video or image evidence of this 'so called' alternate ending in Ico since the game was released in 2001.
Also, it makes no sense that the game would end at the 2nd main gate cutscene - where Yorda opens the gates. There is still the third act to play, where Ico makes his way through the underground water levels to return and fight the Queen.
If this ending is real, then the entire third act is superfluous!
Note: I made a narrated (test) video of this video...

I don't think you'll ever read this ...but you're my childhood hero
Thanks ; ) That's a nice thought.
Nomad Colossus my life is complete now that my fav RUclipsr of all time has replied to my comment..
; )
I could say the exact same thing to Joseph Garrett (hopefully this is respectful to him).
Dayum….It’s been 5 years!
Just realised that Ico 'does' drop the Queen's sword! I was mistaken saying he drops the mace or the regular sword when he topples off the bridge and holds on to the edge, it's only when he jumps back to Yorda that he drops the item he is carrying.
So I tested it and he does drop the Queen's sword, but the animation still shows the regular sword falling down into the ocean (not the Queen's sword).
LOL....I was about to correct you on that. But you corrected yourself. :)
I was just thinking about something...I know you can drop weapons you are carrying, but are you able to drop a weapon while on the bridge just before you jump to Yorda? I've never tried that but it would be interesting to see if you can do it, & then see if you still get an animation showing the sword dropping even though you don't have it in your hand when you make the jump. Now I'm curious.
Typical convoluted fake secret, you have to have already done something that takes an incredible amount of time, a huge amount of skill/luck to perform (double perfect on every enemy Etc) or an extremely rare/obscure edition of the game to be able to enact said secret.
These sites need to refuse submissions unless there's video evidence to back them up.
Yo but seriously I heard that you can totally get Quiet back in MGSV! All you gotta do is have a save file from after beating the game and go back to the mission where you fought her and complete it 7 times and I swear she'll be back in your party after that. Its sick man.
I kinda like seeing videos like this personally, there's just something about those playground myths that really add to the mystery of things, which is perfect for games like team icos, really drives my inner explorer nuts, I wonder if it's possible to hide something even from the close scrutiny of people like nomad
*ALL HAIL THE SWORD-MACE*
holy hell I remember this...back when myths in gaming were awesome and made us discuss and search anywhere.
the early days of internet were indeed great.
Those idol statues are not idol statues, they're a single wall textured to look like idol statues so they look the same but don't have the "Open with Mystic Power" coding. It's a literal trick.
I wouldn't trust IGN that far...
I, G, and N are the first three words for IGNorant. A triangle also has three sides. Conclusion? IGN is JOHN CENA!!!
>plays John Cena theme
He probably meant *letters, not words.
He literally just made a mistake and you're calling him an "ignorant" because of that.
Wow.
No one would.
I don't think I could ever forget a game like ico or SOTC these are the definition of brilliant games there is no other game for me that can compete for these
I have to agree. Fumito Ueda seems to make games that stick with you in a way no other games do. For me this especially true with "Shadow Of The Colossus" where I've spent an insane amount of time (& still am) playing the game, trying new things, & continuing to explore the Forbidden Lands for new discoveries. Can't wait to see what Fumito Ueda has in store for us next & hopefully he'll reveal a little about his new game before year's end.
@@timmadone8930Your love for the Team Ico series is admirable because I too share a deep love and admiration for their 3 games. I see you on almost every video I look at related to one of the three ganes
When I played the game for the first time (PAL btw) I honestly felt that there was a secong ending there. After I finished the game I went back to that save and stayed on the other side (without the Queen's Sword of course) and the outcome was the same as yours. I felt that was a wasted opportunity by Team Ico to give the game some extra spice but then again, running away would go against Ico's character so jumping was always the right option. What really makes em wonder is, if jumping is the right option why give you a choice instead of a cutcene of Ico jumping regardless? Either they want you to have the chance to fail the jump which I have seen happening and is very anti-climatic, or there was some sort of secret ending planned but eventually scrapped.
I played ICO on the Sony Playstation 2, NSTS American version. Of course I tried to find hidden options in the game. But without the queen's sword, the early escape is impossible. With it apparently, according to this video, it is still impossible. It was an sad unfortunately dead-end choice, to try to flee the evil fortress leaving Yorda to whatever would be her doom. I would have loved to find some cheat to get to the other side of the idol gate statues, however, had there been a way, perhaps there wouldn't really be much there to explore. Video games make a very impressive showing of how immense the place that you are is, but it is largely an illusion, as if it is somehow possible to find a way to escape from one's confines, you would find that much of the scenery is a fake facade, with not much behind it. For example, in the PS2 version of Half-Life, by using the Immortality cheat I think it was, I jumped off the scaffolding at the beginning of the game (the fall was not fatal due to the cheat), at the point where Gordon Freeman the scientist, that is the role character that I am playing, gets off of the intro tram, and then walked along the bottom of the tunnel. Around the curve it was a dead end, nowhere to go. How could that be?, when the tram had just come through it, and there was stuff there, and it was not a dead end. Well that is due to the level load change, that the scenery that was there, was gone. Now if only I could escape from the tram before it reaches its destination, how much wonderful scenery could I then explore? Maybe sometime, I should play around and see if I can escape from the tram, just before the door closes and locks, and ride atop the tram? I don't think I ever tried that. I wonder if it could work? Perhaps the tunnels would knock me off the tram. But then, I don't think that works, because the game started me out at the beginning of the game, already in the tram? It has been years since I played it.
But I thought I would be clever and try to cheat the waterfalls in the cave level. So when I jumped off the edge into the water far below, it was impossible to reach a critical switch, making it impossible to activate the necessary things in the below level. The game provides a pipe from which I could climb back up to where I was apparently supposed to be. Okay, so I tried again from the later path through the same cave, to go to the upper part of the cave. The developers thought of that, for when I climbed that same pipe, it broke, and I fell back into the water. What a clever game.
However, on the level on the side of the cliff, if you enter it again after having previously completing it, oops, the elevator is already in the lowered position with no way to call it up to where you are.
There was a level with dizzying heights, and so I wanted to explore the immense level way below, but there was no way I could find to get to it. Every possible path meant falling to ICO's death. It is the level in which the player has to find a way to collapse the tower by throwing a bomb at it.
I did find out how to get the mace, however, that was due to help from the internet. However, do most people actually do it the hard way? Rather than throwing the ball into the big box, it is much easier to place the ball where the box will rise. Since then the ball is already in the box when it rises from the floor, the mace comes flying through the window immediately. None of that throwing and missing many times until finally getting it. I saw that tip in a YT video.
According to an interview with Ueda it was very intentional letting the player jump on their own. I don't remember if he gave a specific reason, but I'm guessing it was interesting seeing if players trust Yorda to pull Ico up the same way he's done before, or if they would assume that Yorda would be helpless and that there was some other solution (like a lever to reverse the bridge or something). Apparently, most players went for the jump right away.
The jump wasn’t a scripted event because the developers wanted the player to instinctively make that jump to feel connection between you and Yorda.
@@sliceofzura That does make a lot of sense
@@sliceofzuraYeah, it is so smart that it has to be your choice as it underlines the bond the game has forged between Ico (you) and Yorda. There was no question when I played that I’d try and save her.
Anyone else notice Yorda's hair turned white in the gate opening cutscenes in the North American version, but was grey in the gameplay and bridge cutscene? That was weird. And it wasn't like that in the PAL one either.
I wonder if something different was originally planned? It's weird how the camera zooms over to those statues when the gate opens, even though you aren't meant to go over to them. I was really hoping this rumor was true since I still have my North American PS2 version. LOL
Tim Madone same here. Probably just to mess with us
I think it is called misdirection. That escape attempt just is not going to work yet. You have to play more levels, before actually escaping from the evil fortress.
I hated how the tried to boost the difficulty of the ICO game, using tacked-on difficult gimmicks, in the released for PS3 version. (According to YT videos that I have watched. I only have a PS2. I have never had a PS3 nor a PS4.) The PS2 version was done better. The changes were really stupid. The PS3 version replaced a believable crumbling collapsed and thus useless bridge, with a useless going back shortcut lowering drawbridge, that was still useless. Unlocking shortcuts upon completing tasks, is for other video games other than ICO, such as Project Eden, but out of place for ICO.
But there are a few things I would have liked to make the game slightly more difficult. Too many of the paths to take, were just too obvious. The train car track should have been longer, going actually past the destination. A few of the elevators should have been removed. They seem out of place for such an old decaying fortress. Why did we need that "Water Tower" elevator, in which ICO has to go around and around to crank it? ICO is a strong boy. Let him walk up stairs or climb the cliff somehow. The elevators in the arenas, do not appear to be possible. Where are the call or control buttons? Where are the electrical supply cables? Couldn't they find some other way to get down? Perhaps an incomplete ladder, so that going down is only possible, but not up. The crane had an access pipe to climb along, that just seemed too impossibly obvious path. Maybe they should have used some chain, which only ICO can climb and Yorda can not, and then let him walk along the top of the wall. And what was with the horizontal sliding door? That doesn't even look realistic. They should have made that to be some more complicated crane set up or something. And the room below, where ICO has to fight the shadows, without Yorda being in danger that time, that room doesn't even make sense. He entered through a window, but the room has no doors at all. No doors? Who designs a room with no doors? They should have added at least a locked door that never opens. Also, where ICO has to climb on the sheer walls outside to find a way around, so as to get to the upper level to push down a box for Yorda to climb up on, it is way too obvious which direction to go, for in the other direction, there is an unclimbable pile of rubble. The rubble should have been lessened, ICO allowed to go back there, to soon find that it is a useless dead end.
But anyway, ICO was one of my favorite games, and I loved the story line, and I loved the scenery, and the visual and sound effects were so realistic and believable.
I swear THERES is somthing big hidden in these games that we are not finding
People have dug through the files at this point, there's nothing left hidden in either game. Just whatever cut content that's still floating around on the game disc that people have already discussed. The wild ride has to end sometime.

The four of you sure seem to be in agreement 😆
Splendid job as always.
thank you so much for doing this theory nomad, I really appreciate it
I had questions about this subject and now understand it. Well done Nomad! :)
I think there might be a possibility for this myth to be true, but in order to do so, you must have all 8 save files with the game beaten. I don't think it's just to get the Queen's Sword from the beginning, it probably acts like a trigger to something else too. Like, it only enabled you to use the Queen's Sword because something else has been enabled and thus, only now the game allows you to acquire it early. Because now there's something you can do with it.
I dunno, this is just me speculating. Worth reminding that the myth states it only works with the North American version of the game, not any other. (although those small differences in the PAL version are pretty cool, but I think the camera panning out is just for the dramatic effect of "you failed to jump back in time, now you're gonna die" that they forgot to add on the North American version)
I could be WAY to optimistic here, considering it's IGN of all people, but hey! *A man can dream, can't he?* ;)
This game has been out since 2001. Don't you think if it was true, someone would have proved it by now? By the way, do you know how to unlock the 8th & 9th bonus videos in the BONUS CONTENT for the ICO/Shadow Of The Colossus HD Collection?
Tim Madone Sadly, I don't have the HD Collection. ;__; GOD F***ING DAMMIT!! DX
There are some secrets in games that took over 10 years to be found so it is not impossible.
maybe such a secret ending was only planned, like the rumors about the fact that portal 2's actuall ending used to be a secret ending during beta testing.
Hopefully the Last Guardian got some good secrets
I'm convinced it will. I believe ( & hope ) that you will be able to change the ending of "The Last Guardian" with multiple play through's. Of course we have no idea if Trico actually dies or just fly's away by the end of the game. All we know right now is that the boy survives. Even if you can't change the ending of the game, I'm very sure that you will have to play more than once in order to give Trico abilities he won't have the first time around. Like possibly the ability to fly or perhaps use other parts of his body as weapons other than his tail. Perhaps we will hear the boy ( as an old man ) say that how he wished he could have flown on Trico's back but Trico didn't have enough strength. Something along those lines might be a clue to play again & make Trico stronger. That's assuming of course that you can save your progress like in "Shadow Of The Colossus". With as long as it's taken to get this game out, I'm sure Fumito Ueda will reward fans with something more than just a single play through with no replay value other than possibly trophy collecting. I believe some truly special & unexpected things will be discovered for those who will play a 2nd or 3rd time. I know I'll be falling to my death many times in the pursuit of trying to discover new things. LOL
Ye i hope so! And if not the Community will make some myths anyways :D
Fuck you for spoiling the end of The Last Guardian. Fuck you. Fuck you.
Danny Michaux ???
apologies, that was for Tim.
If Ico was able to open the gate with Queen's Sword and simply left Yorda alone ,it wouldn't make sense.Ico wouldn't abandon her like this!
Yeah, that's why it's a secret ending, which can be only accessible after 8 playtroughs.
Do you mean the ending in which Ico and Yorda are eating watermelons or another secret ending?
Paulo Bessa I mean, that's why this ending (where ICO would abandon Yorda) is considered to be a secret ending, and is only accessible (if it actually exists) after completing the game 8 times. Because it doesn't make any sense, it's just an easter egg.
+Radical Ed ,now I see the point.But how do you know that this secret ending is acessible after 8 playthroughs?
If it really exists. ..
Even Ico automatically climbs back up to the bridge in the NTSC version of this game as well
good work. Keep it up bro ; - )
Weirdest castle ever
Pros: miles away
Cant get in from above unless both bridges are out
Impossible to get in
Cons:
Can come from the water to get in
The queens room is oddly hidden
Part of the castle is strangely damaged and still being worked on
No workers
The gate rooms are on thier own rock of a island
But most importantly...
Pros:
Borderline impossible to conquer
Even if an entire army came they would most likely get lost or fall to their deaths
Cons:
Extremely unsafe
Haunted
Barren
Only furnitures are couches here and there
its not haunted @@marcohueber5130
will u do a lets play thing for last guardian?
I think that's not even a question.
That's like asking if babies cry.
oh boi you better believe he's gonna debunk the last guardian
ten years to make the game, he will pass ten year searching secrets too xd
did they try contacting you for the did you know gaming shadow of the colosus video?
Yeah he was the best man for the job no idea why somebody else would get to do it
this is a small channel. DYKG may not even know that Nomad exists.
Erick Capitanio It's a small channel but Nomad Collosus is well known, especially in the SotC community. It's unlikely they didn't know about him.
They didn't contact me, but I noticed they used a couple of my videos briefly in the video ; )
Ross the Boss welp I was wrong. I even watched that video and somehow didn't notice Nomad's footage in it
Note that the Queen's Sword is empty of power.
7:36 That's how fusion system in Tears of the Kingdom was born!
it is my childhood dream..
I can't watch the narrated version if I'm on mobile right? :c
Have you checked if you actually get queen's sword after all that 8 save files thingy?
If not, the whole affair is a myth. BUT! Not losing it at the bridge scene, and camera pan at the statues/gate is quite significant. I don't remember if it does it normally. I only played an PS3 version a long time ago.
Wich makes the idea, that at some point in making the game, there was a possibility, to open the gate.
But... if you had a queen's sword from the beginning of the game, it would be usless to drag Yorda around. But also, then the main gate wouldnt open.... weird myth, weird myth indeed.
If there was some ending there, I believe he could've triggered from the debug menu the same ways he got the Queen's Sword. In case he couldn't, I think he has some sort of tool to inspect he game's code either way and would've told us by now.
Really? Who is going to play the game through eight times in the hopes that something 'might' happen. This is what the troll who first wrote this cheat is hoping players will fall for! Think about it, they are asking you to do the most amount of work possible (days of playing) so that you will receive something never before seen - the fabled 'alternate ending', which since 2001 there is not a scrap of evidence.
The only way this would actually work is if a special value is saved to the memory after each game is played - the program could tell one game from another. Then after 8 (or 10 games - as there are actually 10 save slots), a new value would be generated from the previous 8/10 saves. This would load a previously never before seen cutscene where the gate at the other side of the bridge would miraculously open, and Ico could escape!
Note: In previous videos I've taken Ico past that gate but there is no collision detection out there and after a short distance the trees disappear revealing nothing but an empty void. That being said, there's no way to actually disprove this until someone tries it. Maybe there's a hidden cutscene in the code that no one has ever found. I've never really been able to hack Ico and I've been trying for years, all I can do is use Codebreaker codes. So who knows?
Nomad Colossus I know, I know. Gaming sites/magazines liked too troll a lot back in the day. And yes, those requirement are very ridiculus, and no one would really play it so many times, without getting bored, or annoyed.
BTW. I think you made a bit of mistake. I was playing ICO recently, trying to beat it in 2h, but what I noticed - at the exit bridge, ICO looses sword when he's catched by Yorda, not when he has fallen on the other side. I know that is not much, but in the video, u were suprised queen's sword wasn't dropped here, i just want to point out, that any weapon wasn't in the first place.
Yes, I updated my video when I realised my mistake! I've added an annotation apologising for my mistake. He does drop the Queen's sword, but you only see the animation of the regular sword falling down into the ocean. Which shows that the Queen's sword was never meant to be used at the bridge ; )
ok but that whole scene is present in the game and results in nothing?
Hey Nomad, I know this question's kind of irrelevant to this video, but I'm really curious. What exactly is the Shadow of the Colossus preview version? By preview version, I mean the one that has all 16 Colossi but still has a lot of features left from development (like the debug menu that lets you teleport to whatever colossus you want). Is it a disc? Is it playable on console? Do you know where it came from? I've had these questions for a while and figured if anyone can answer then it would be you. Update: I read your blog post about it, does that mean that the original disk was lost and the only way to play it is with an emulator?
It's all in my blog post:
nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/pre-release-preview-version.html
In the "stage select" (PAL version)
i see a stage named like "E3_BADEND" the game crashes but "why do you think significate that?"
There are lots of stages that don't work sadly. Would love to be able to play them!
Greeting
Is there a code like in GTA that you type something in and immediately get that sword that opens all doors?
No, sorry
What if you noclip through the gate?
So, if you save at the gate on all save files & start a new game on the first save file, do you get the Queen's Sword when the cage Yorda is in drops to the ground? Or does the sword just appear in your hand once you break free of your tomb? I wouldn't mind playing the entire game using the Queens Sword even if it won't open those statues at the far side of the bridge. But I would hate to play through 9 games & not even get the sword.
It's just a myth. The Queen's Sword doesn't appear once you played through teh game nine times. He had to use the debug mode to teleport to its location to pick it up. You can't get the sword at the beginning of the game (I tried it, it doesn't work).
C Hamann Are you familiar with the 9 boxes in the BONUS CONTENT in the PS3 HD collection? If so, do you know how to unlock the 8th & 9th box?
Are you saying that you tested this myth by playing the game all the way through eight times? If so why didn't you record the result of this epic amount of work? At least take a screen capture when you started a new game after 8 playthroughs.
+Nomad Colossus My pc isn't strong enough to record it. I used the debug mode and warped to the last couch in the game in the US version (I wasn't patient enough to play through the NTSC version), but I also played the PAL version on my ps2 and ps3 (even more than 8 times. Probably about 30 times on both consoles) and nothing ever happened. I'll try to play through the NTSC version 8 times again and get my pc to record it this time, and this time I won't use the debug mode to do it. (I never played the NTSC version and it's really hard to get used to it, but I started working on it yesterday because I realized that I had to prove it) Maybe I'll get a different result next time, but I don't think anything will change...)
I agree, I wouldn't waste your time. I doubt anything will be different. I once got sucked into the idea that there was an alternate ending in Shadow of the Colossus- and I actually knew who posted the cheat! So I was in contact with this person as I played the game over and over, hoping for the amazing alternate ending he had described.
But, of course, there was no alternate ending... he was just lying - which was really disappointing as we had become friends via our emails - which made the outcome all that more depressing. Sadly, there are people out there that post this kind of stuff in the hopes that they will convince players to waste their time - all I can say is don't fall for it like I did.
I think I have shown that there is no way to pass that gate at the other side of the bridge. There is no collision detection beyond the bridge - it's total bullsit!
Are you gonna do the last guardian?
Are you going to play The Last Guardian
hey nomad when you're playing ICO you gotta fill all 8 save slots with completed games to start off with the queen's sword, do you think the outcome would be different because you already had the sword or do you think it'd end up the same?
Looks like there is only one way to prove this myth & that's to actually do what IGN said you need to do & see what happens. The games been out since 2001, I'm surprised no one has tried doing it by now to see the outcome. By the way, do you know how to unlock the 8th & 9th bonus videos in the BONUS CONTENT for the ICO/Shadow Of The Colossus HD Collection?
You can't get the Queen's Sword that way. I tried it and it didn't work. There is no different ending.
C Hamann I'm still not sure what IGN is saying you need to do. Are you supposed to save at the main gate on all the saves, then erase over the first save when you start your 11th new game?
I think you might be referring to the Dynamic themes (?) There's one for Shadow and one for Ico and can be used as a background for your PS3 menu screen. Do you have these?
Nomad Colossus Yes. I have the first 7 boxes unlocked. Box 6 & box 7 contain the XMB Dynamic Themes. I don't know if you ever spent some time watching those. But about 1 hour & 7 minutes into the dynamic theme for Shadow Of The Colossus, an adult deer with antlers will walk across the screen. There might be some other surprises too if you just happen to be looking at the screen at the right moment. But back to the boxes, If you put the cursor over the 8th & 9th box, there will be movement, just the same as if you put the cursor over the other 7 boxes. That's why I'm convinced that there is something to unlock in both of those boxes. If you don't see 9 boxes in the BONUS CONTENT for the PAL version, then it's quite possible that only the North American release has the extra two boxes. In either case, I have searched high & low for any information concerning this matter, but no luck. If I'm ever lucky enough to obtain 100% of all the trophies from both games, maybe then I will find out if that is the secret to unlocking those last two boxes in the BONUS CONTENT. It just really surprises me that I can't find any comments or videos about this. Especially considering the fact that the HD collection has been out for 5 years already.
maybe u have to do like it says and play the game 8 times b4 it will work
Entonces todo fue falso al final... que lastima, no puedo dormir tranquilo hasta que ICO tenga un final feliz.
Hey nomad can you send me that link again please?
Which link?
fumito ueda troll
hey nomad what's exactly the means with which you hack the game?
There's a version of Ico with a debug menu included which you can use to do weird things.
mega.nz/#!089DxQTa!Jy2Ujfm-jhTK919MwmI9JWYuIUXV5aMyIJzcIDfqT7s
thanks ;)
But nomad, did you had the 8 save slots with a finished game? That could be the trigger. Since you can hack the game, just go to every save file, jump to the end of the game, then save, and test it again, please.
I just checked and there's actually 10 save slots, not eight. At least there is on my emulated NTSC (US) version... so this is another problem with the IGN cheat. But I had the same idea, I've saved at the Main Gate (2nd) in every save slot, now I have to play the game to the end then see what happens - which will be nothing I guarantee you.
I just don't see how Ico can start the game with the Queen's sword - the soldiers take it to open the idol doors, but they put it back during the opening cutscene. Does this mean they would just leave it on the floor in the Sacrifice Hall for Ico to pick up?
Nomad Colossus
IF he starts with the sword, he would probably just start with it without reason (in my opinion).
But yeah, i agree with you. Nothing will probably happen. But thoes things you showed, like the way how ico doesnt let go of the sword, and how the cut scene shows the other end of the bridge with the statues, makes me believe that, even thou there is not an alternative ending, there probably was suposed to be an alternative ending. It just didnt ended up in the final release :/
You are probably correct. But you won't know for sure until you try it. I believe there are still a few secrets left to discover in both of these games. I can only imagine what surprises "The Last Guardian" will have in store. Two months to go!!!
spoky
scary skeletons
+ultimasuper send shivers down my spine
ign did say that you have to finish the game 8 times and do blah blah blah then start a new game and then do this. not use hacks to go. maybe you can only open the gates when you finish it with the instructions. i mean its pretty weird that it didnt drop the sword or maybe it worked but maybe you were hitting the wrong place. there are 7ish sigils on the door i think. maybe you have to hit each one of them? anyway thanks for letting us know about it and hope you keep trying more and do the other supposed secret ending.
I just checked the original version, the scene still shows the doors. Nomad just paused it, that's why the door part is longer in the cutscene.
+Radical Ed (edited) Really? i dont feel like its paused.
You can even see the exac time where he paused it because of the blur, at 5:02.
Yes, I paused it to add that comment about how this appears significant... you only see it in the game for a second or so.
I tried hitting all the idols on the gate as you suggested but nothing happens. There are nine sections to the gate, seven of which you can hit, the other two are off the bridge at each side.
Second and hi nomad I have been having weird dreams about this game
Well about shadow of the colossus not ico
+Kailen Dufour bruh same here I have dreams about ico too
+Kaneki The ultimate ghoul I had a dream the other day about the windmill and I saw ico climbing up it and jumping over the fence. So after the graveyard I got to that bit and copied what I did in the dream and got me past the puzzle. Strange right
It was pretty obvious that it was bs because they said it might not work for every version lol that would a have saved you hours.
Espero que TLG tenha segredos para descobrir.
espero a mesma coisa
+Inavoig Oriecul nossa, no vídeo do Magic Box? É coincidência até demais hahaha
Espero que tanto quanto Ico e SotC!
João Brasil Sim!
SotC eu sou doente! Acompanho toda essa paranóia desde que conheci a internet haha. Perdi a conta de quantas vezes zerei. Mas ICO eu nunca me aprofundei, nunca joguei e nem se quer vi a campanha, só os secrets... Mas gosto demais, por fazer parte da cronologia. Agora TLG eu to ancioso demais! Tomara que venham revelações bombásticas da Forbiden Land e que não seja apenas umgameplay de sobrevivência e puzzles guiando um fucking cachorro gigante! Kkk
There is no Alternate ending its just wrong path :)
