Ico Hints
How do we get across the old bridge?
1 of 8: There's really not much to it.
2 of 8: Just walk across.
3 of 8: You'll need Yorda to open the pair of idol doors at the far end, though.
4 of 8: The bridge will start to fall apart as Yorda crosses the halfway point, but she should be able to climb her way back up when that happens. If she doesn't, use the R1 button while standing next to her to give her a helping hand back up.
5 of 8: If you forgot to save for some reason, you can still get back to the couch.
6 of 8: Just jump across the gap.
7 of 8: The jump's not too far for Yorda, either.
8 of 8: You'll need to stand near the edge and use R1 call her and catch her as she jumps, but you can pull her up safely after that.
