Ico Hints
I'm having trouble with the jump. Any advice?
1 of 3: The only thing I can suggest is that you step up slowly to the edge and pay attention to the camera angle.
2 of 3: The camera will eventually turn so that the chain is straight ahead. If you line yourself up with the chain and then use the D-pad instead of the left analog stick, you can run straight and get the jump right most times.
3 of 3: But do be careful to let the camera angle settle down before you try running. Otherwise, you stand a good shot at missing and falling to your death below. (This is why I recommend making sure you have a recent save before you attempt the jump in the first place.)
