Ico Hints
But how do I get over to the chain?
1 of 7: Basically, the same way you've gotten around this part of the level already.
2 of 7: By climbing ledges.
3 of 7: First, use the box to get back up to the raised platform where you first found the box.
4 of 7: Just push the box to near the platform, climb on it, and jump up. You should find a couch here, which you can use to save if you pull Yorda up with you.
5 of 7: Then, take the ledges on the wall, and walk all the way over to the other side.
6 of 7: You'll need to climb to the second ledge to get around the pillar where it's worn down, but that's the only trick.
7 of 7: When you're above solid ground, just drop down and walk over to the platform that's holding the chain.
