How do we get out of the graveyard?
  • 1 of 6: Your exit is at the bottom of the graveyard, down several sets of stairs.
  • 2 of 6: Notice a locked door at the far end of the graveyard from where you entered.
  • 3 of 6: Also look to either side of that door.
  • 4 of 6: There are pressure plates on both sides of the door, near the corners of this area.
  • 5 of 6: A little weight might help you out.
  • 6 of 6: Both Ico and Yorda could stand on those plates.  The door would be open, but then again, neither of you would be able to move.
