Save Point: Stone Pillar
  • 1 of 4: The "Stone Pillar" comes just after a brief elevator ride, two sections just after the windmill.
  • 2 of 4: You'll pass this couch on your way to reaching a switch that's high up on one wall.
  • 3 of 4: Specifically, it's in the raised section where you'll find the box you need to reach the switch.
  • 4 of 4: You'll need to move the box back to the wall below the raised section to help Yorda climb up to the couch.
