Ico Hints
How do I get up to that switch?
1 of 6: You might guess by now that this is a good place for a box.
2 of 6: You probably passed one on the way to the idol doors.
3 of 6: Climb back up the ladder that brought you down here, and look carefully.
4 of 6: Halfway between the ladder and the chain is another, perpendicular part of the walkway.
5 of 6: Go down that part and you'll see a box to your left.
6 of 6: Push the box over the side and against the wall below the switch. You can stand on the box and pull up to the platform with the switch.
