Ico Hints
But I'm nowhere near the iris!
1 of 8: Well, look above the iris.
2 of 8: Notice there are two idol doors on a platform there?
3 of 8: There wouldn't be idol doors for Yorda to open if there were no way to get there.
4 of 8: Notice there's a gap in the railing on this side of the room -- too bad there's no bridge between that gap and the doors.
5 of 8: Have a little faith.
6 of 8: Both of you.
7 of 8: If you have Yorda with you when you approach the gap, a stone bridge will start to form between the drawbridge side of the room and the idol door side.
8 of 8: Just keep walking across -- the stones should move into place before you're in any danger of falling down below.
