Ico Hints
Where do I go at the start of this stage?
1 of 4: Several paths will be dead-ends for now -- just concentrate on the paths that are already open to you.
2 of 4: As you're leaving the "Stone Pillar" area in the previous stage, walk past a raised drawbridge and through another set of idol doors.
3 of 4: For now, the very tall ladder just on the other side of those idol doors leads nowhere, so ignore it too.
4 of 4: Head all the way down the path across the walls of the castle. Yorda will automatically run through an idol door when you reach the end of the path -- the East Arena is what's on the other side.
