Ico Hints
Where do we go once we get across that gap?
1 of 17: Well, you should notice a pipe at the end of the walkway.
2 of 17: At least Ico will be able to jump onto that pipe and slide across.
3 of 17: Yorda can't cross pipes like you can, though. You're going to have to explore a bit on your own until you can find another way to get Yorda to the next part of the level.
4 of 17: First, press TRIANGLE to grab onto the pipe, and then move right until you're at the far end. Press X to release at the other end.
5 of 17: Notice anything in the section at the far end of the pipe that might help you?
6 of 17: There's a lever you can pull just next to the end of the pipe.
7 of 17: Pull it, and a crane will move a box across the screen.
8 of 17: The box should be fairly close to Yorda now.
9 of 17: All she needs is a little encouragement to get there.
10 of 17: You're going to have to get on the box first and then call Yorda to you. Just slide back across to the left end of the pipe and take a short jump onto the box before pressing R1.
11 of 17: That crane will allow both Ico and Yorda to proceed.
12 of 17: You need to put it back where it came from.
13 of 17: Go back across the pipe to the lever and use the lever to move the crane again.
14 of 17: Now, Yorda's ready to move on, but you need to join her.
