How can I get Yorda through that gate?
  • 1 of 4: Look nearby for a way to open it.
  • 2 of 4: There are two pressure plates on the far side of this area, where the water is.
  • 3 of 4: The one on the right opens the gate.
  • 4 of 4: Just stand on it and call Yorda with R1.  She'll then run through the gate.
