Ico Hints
How do I lower that drawbridge?
1 of 4: Basically, you need to do the same thing you did after you finished the other half of the symmetry.
2 of 4: Remember that a door at the top of a very tall ladder opened after you the eastern symmetry section.
3 of 4: And a similar door did this time.
4 of 4: Take the path all the way along the walls until you find that ladder, climb it, and pull the switch in the section at the top. This should lower the last bit of drawbridge in the courtyard.
