Ico Hints
How do I get across the canal?
1 of 9: Jumping across might help.
2 of 9: Under normal conditions, though, you won't jump all the way over to the other side, and the current will start to sweep you down the fall.
3 of 9: You can try swimming to the other side and use the TRIANGLE button to climb out.
4 of 9: If you're fast enough and start far enough upstream, you should be able to climb out on the other side where the bricks are a little worn.
5 of 9: Or you can look for a way to jump farther.
6 of 9: By staying in the air longer.
7 of 9: Perhaps by jumping from a higher place.
8 of 9: You can push the box that's near the canal to the very edge, then climb on it and run and jump while you're still on top. You should then be able to climb out of the water immediately on the other side.
9 of 9: If for some reason you pushed the box into the water accidentally, don't worry -- you can still swim across to the other side and climb out where the bricks are worn.
