Ico Hints
How can Ico get to the door from here?
1 of 4: The floor's too high for him to just climb up.
2 of 4: But the chain that opened the doors can still be of some use.
3 of 4: Just press CIRCLE to get the chain swinging, and then jump off to make it to the platform with the doors.
4 of 4: You may need to swing several times, or else climb higher before swinging, to jump far enough to land in the right spot. If you miss, climb back on the chain (it's now within reach of the bottom of the floor here) and try again.
