Ico Hints
Just how do I open those doors?
1 of 8: Look at what's around the doors.
2 of 8: For one, there's a switch to one side of the doors, at the top of the stairs.
3 of 8: Try pulling on it.
4 of 8: When you do, the two spheres below the doors on the wall will open.
5 of 8: Maybe you need to put something in those spheres.
6 of 8: The spheres kind of look like torches now that they're open.
7 of 8: So light them.
8 of 8: Use your stick on one of the lit torches just next to the spheres, and then use your lit stick on the two spheres to light them. When both spheres are lit, the door will open, and you can go through to the East Reflector.
