Ico Hints
How do I cross the gap in the staircase?
1 of 7: Look to the wall.
2 of 7: There's an open window above you.
3 of 7: It's high, but you can reach it.
4 of 7: Jump/pull up once to the ledge beneath the window and then jump/pull up again to climb through the window and onto the next screen.
5 of 7: You'll now be outside the circular room, on the roof. Look for another entrance back into that circular room.
6 of 7: Head toward Ico's left as you're coming out of the window, and another open window will be at that end of this section.
7 of 7: Two more jumps/pull-ups take you up to that window. Climb through and cross back over to the other side. You'll now be on the other side of the gap in the staircase.
