Ico Hints
I'm now standing on some metal grating with a gap in the middle. What's next?
1 of 11: You could jump from one section of the "floor" to another, but you won't find much on the other side of that floor.
2 of 11: Notice the two chains hanging above you.
3 of 11: You need a way to reach up to one of those.
4 of 11: Look on the thick cylindrical column that you just had to go around.
5 of 11: There's a pipe going up one side of it.
6 of 11: You can climb that pipe to get high enough to reach the chain.
7 of 11: Go as high as you can and then jump off. Ico will flip in time to catch the chain.
8 of 11: Swing from one chain to the next.
9 of 11: You may need to hold CIRCLE a bit to get enough momentum, but after a few swings, it should be safe to jump off.
10 of 11: Repeat to get from the second chain to a wooden platform above the metal floor.
11 of 11: Follow the path until you find another wheel with bars on it.
