It was a win win situation, wander keeps his life mono is revived and Agro lives.. they live in the secret garden and thanks to ICO we know they eventually xxscape... why is it sad?

Yorda is not Mono

but the connection between ICO and SOTC is still unexplained, a lot of fans think that the queen in ICO is actually mono

So yorda is her daughter that she keep prisoner so that she can possess her body and stop her aging 

(there is a lot of theories , I haven't the heart to write them all)

This post made me laugh. Not the picture, just the first line.

Reminded me of a Silent Hill 3 discussion where I said that the ending made absolutely no sense and that the game isn't all that great, but rather quite meh. I got told that I just didn't understand it and when I asked for clarification the answer was that nobody really knows what it was all about.

SH3 is pretty straight forward. What didn't you get?

How Heather could throw up a baby, followed by another woman swallowing it in one bit to keep breeding it.

True, lolol; How she could possibly be incubating a baby in her stomache is unexplained.

Nothing much just one of the saddest ending to a video game Ever!!!


I cannot stand this answer because it shows that whoever uses it didnt get the ending at all

I will xxplain in simple and short:

Wander enters the forbiddin land with the goal of asking  Dormin to ressurect Mono who was sacrificed for reasons not mentioned. A deal happens: you destroy 16 collossi each holding  a piece of my soul/body/essence whatever you want to call it and I will bring her back for a price..

wander defeats the 16 colossiand  he returns morphed by containing all the essence  of dormin. Wander did not know that the price was for mono's ressurection he would give his own body as a vessal for dormin( its hinted by dormin it was only temporary though). at the end the tribe of people that wander also belongs too reach the temple after figuring out wander took the sword and mono's body to the temple with intention of completing the ritual to free dormin. They come see him all shadow like and attemp to kill him but Dormin takes control and tries to return tthe favor but his injury slows him down( when wander was hit in the leg with a arrow) before the emon escapes he cast a banishing  spell that destroys/reseals dormin. Now  by accident or choice dormin decides to let wander keeps his body but degraded to an infant but with his essence  in his bloodline. he also keeps his promise to revive mono.

It was a win win situation, wander keeps his life mono is revived and Agro lives.. they live in the secret garden and thanks to ICO we know they eventually xxscape... why is it sad?


They don't escape the forbidden land, they are still in it in ICO. It's a pretty tragic ending, quite frankly. Why? Well, for one, we get it confirmed that Wander was going around slaughtering basically peaceful creatures, and for this he loses his body and is reborn with a curse (in shape of the horns). Which means that Mono, now revived, has to raise a baby in a desolate place, completely alone. Considering that there's a fair amount of people living there during ICO times, they obviously had to repopulate together. Mono had to raise a kid and then carry the child of the kid. Wander's curse also leads to a ton of horny boys starving to death in the castello. It's a pretty grim ending if you actually think about things.

did you enjoy it? if so then that's all that matters.

when i paly'd SoTc, i enjoyed it so much, i forgot there was a story. it took me 16-18 hr.'s to beat it, but as evident it can be done in less then half that time.

Yeah, it was a great game! It took me 10 hours to beat. I loved all the bosses and how long it took to figure them out. I think that's the reason why the play time is high.

yea telling others how too play after you've already beaten it, shows how fast it can be done. i showed user warrior96 how to get pass the first 2. his end time was around 12 hr.'s.

then my brother (who wasn't much for story at the time) was set to beat it in 6 hr.'s. i can't wait to buy this game again, with ico.
