Ico Hints
But the Queen turned me to stone!
1 of 8: Yes, the waves she sends across the room can do that to you.
2 of 8: Take a careful look around at those waves, though.
3 of 8: They don't seem to hit everything.
4 of 8: There will be a few visibly safe spots every time.
5 of 8: Your sword will glow blue to indicate that it's shielding you from the waves.
6 of 8: Something else will glow, too.
7 of 8: The two statues in front of the Queen on either side will also glow blue.
8 of 8: If you have your sword or are standing behind either statue, you will be safe.
