Ico Hints
But the doors are too high up for us to reach them!
1 of 11: This looks like another place for a box.
2 of 11: It's too bad there isn't one nearby.
3 of 11: But there doesn't need to be -- you can bring one in from a distance.
4 of 11: Remember that water used to fall into the area near the doors.
5 of 11: Maybe a box could fall that way too.
6 of 11: There was a box up by the canal where you shut off the water.
7 of 11: You can push the box all the way down to the area by the doors.
8 of 11: Push it into the canal, if it isn't already there. Then, push it over the edge at the end of the canal, and it will go on through to the waterfall screen.
9 of 11: There, it will land on a ramp that's off to one side of the rope bridge.
10 of 11: You'll need to climb over a railing at one end of the bridge (not the end with the couch), but from there, just climb the ramp and push the box over the edge one more time.
11 of 11: It will now be down at ground level. Move it into place and help Yorda up after climbing the box yourself.
