Ico - Secret item is a bomb!

I uploaded this to show the difference to the NTSC version when getting the secret item. Some may not have seen the PAL version at this area (I think the walkthroughs on Youtube are of the US version). You can see it's a little more involved than the US version, especially at the water wheel (which doesn't exist in the US version).

But if you take the metal ball out of the area it explodes - which doesn't seem to harm Ico even though he was holding it... must have been a dud xD. But you can go back and hit the tree again to get another ball as many times as you like ; )

I am sure people have pointed out the use for this item in your comments, so I guess I don't have to

@stillstandin4you Yes, I know it's used to gain the mace, or the lightsaber in the 2nd playthrough.

Did this surprise you and make you jump the first time it happened? xD

[Nomad0168]

@XmetaI4everX Yeah! When I first played there I missed that switch near the tree (next to the stairs), so I didn't get how to take the ball back into that room - so I tried to go the long way 'round - and BOOM!

I spent 2 frickin' days trying to figure out the piston "puzzle". Eventually someone on a forum I regularly frequent told me to jump right before the piston rises.

@mcrazza Yeah, I remember I had trouble with that when I first played it and for a while thought I was in the wrong place, so I was climbing along those pipes for ages trying to find another way xD.

You have to take that rock ball to the previous room, open a secret rotating panel, and put it into a square on the floor. Then step into the circle on the floor and the square will become a giant box, and a Mace (or a lightsaber if it's the second time you play) will fly across the window.
