Ico Hints
Where can I get the ball to throw here?
1 of 7: It's in the same area as the cup.
2 of 7: More specifically, look around the base of the stairs leading up into the building, or down to the source of the waterfall, depending on your perspective.
3 of 7: Look to the left of the stairs as you're facing them.
4 of 7: That tree is the key.
5 of 7: Try hitting it.
6 of 7: With your sword.
7 of 7: If you hit the tree, a stone ball of some kind should fall out of the tree. If it doesn't, swing at the tree again until it does.
