There's a gap in the walkway just after the trolley. How do we get across?
  • 1 of 5: It's really not that large of a gap.
  • 2 of 5: Just run and jump across.
  • 3 of 5: It's not even that large of a gap for Yorda.
  • 4 of 5: She can make it with your help.
  • 5 of 5: Jump over the gap first yourself and then stand near the edge and call Yorda with the R1 button.  She'll walk to her edge of the gap and jump as far as she can.  Keep holding R1 and Ico will automatically catch her.  Then, move the left analog stick to pull her up.
