The Stick is an item that is used in both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.

ICO

Ico holding a lit stick.

The stick is a common item found in the Queen's castle. It is the first weapon available to Ico, but also the weakest. The stick can be used as a tool for lighting bombs and solving puzzles as well. To light the stick, simply bring it to a lit torch or candle and press . The flame on the stick will go out automatically if Ico swings the stick, so using fire against the Shadows is not possible. The swords found later in the game are much stronger and have the ability to cut ropes, but they, obviously, can't be lit on fire.

Shadow of the Colossus

Wander using the stick as a torch, scaring the 11th colossus.

The stick can also be found by Wander, although it is not truly an item. The stick is only found in the 11th colossus' area and is retrieved by having it ram into one of the various torch platforms lining the walls, or in a more obscure way, shooting a Flash Arrow at one of the platforms. The stick can be lit in a similar fashion to ICO, but it cannot be lit anywhere else and has no purpose other than helping to defeat the 11th colossus.
