Ico Hints

How do I get Yorda out of this room once I've opened that door?

  • 1 of 12: First, you need to get her through the closed door that's keeping her from getting off the ledge where you first entered.
  • 2 of 12: You may be able to see the way for Ico to get out.
  • 3 of 12: Notice that chain hanging on the right side of the room (as the camera's facing)?
  • 4 of 12: Ico can climb it and then swing and jump onto the ledge closest to the chain, but Yorda can't follow him on the chain.
  • 5 of 12: There is another way for Yorda to get up there.
  • 6 of 12: Look around the ledge.
  • 7 of 12: There's a box conveniently sitting next to the ledge.
  • 8 of 12: You can use that to help Yorda get up to the ledge.
  • 9 of 12: Push it off, and then head back down to the bottom of the room to push it against the wall.
  • 10 of 12: That should then give Yorda enough of a boost to get her up to the ledge.
  • 11 of 12: At least, it will with your help.
  • 12 of 12: Stand just above the box and call Yorda.  If you're above the box (and not off to one side of it), Ico will stretch his hand out to Yorda.  Keep holding R1 until she gets on the box and jumps up, and then pull her up to you.
