Ico Hints
Where should I go after I'm on top of the wheel?
1 of 8: From the first wheel, it's pretty much a matter of navigating the same kinds of obstacles you've seen before. If you need further instructions, read ahead below, although I'm not going to try as hard to be subtle with the hints.
2 of 8: Look above you once you're on the first platform.
3 of 8: There's a pipe running over to the next machine.
4 of 8: Jump onto the ledge below the pipe, then onto the pipe, and cross over until you're on the other side. (Don't worry about the gap where the pipe seems broken -- you can fall from one part of the pipe to the other.)
5 of 8: Then, be careful when you're walking on top of a thicker pipe (i.e., something you step on, not hang from) after that -- you'll have to start over if you fall off.
6 of 8: You now need to find a way around that big column in your way.
7 of 8: You can go up or down.
8 of 8: There's a thin pipe above you that you can jump on and slide across, or you can similarly step down to the ledge below and hang off of that and continue around. It might be a little easier to use the pipe above, but either way works.
