Walkthrough

After Chandelier

After leaving the large Chandelier room, you'll enter a courtyard with drawbridges above, where a considerable number of shadows will attack. Black portals appear scattered in four locations, and more than ten shadows appear. Once Yorda is taken, the situation becomes very complicated, so run to the stone statues near the exit leading to the Main Gate. If you can get Yorda close to the statues, you can destroy the shadows in one fell swoop. When running through, never let go of Yorda's hand.

After Main Gate

Near the doorway connecting the drawbridge and the large chandelier room, there is a bomb. Pick up the bomb and take it to the wooden barricade at the far right. Place the bomb there and transfer the fire from the torch to the wooden stick, which will ignite the fuse. This will destroy the barricade and allow you to proceed to the Graveyard.

After the East Arena stages

After descending to the first floor of the Drawbridge, climb up the hanging rope to the window above. Move the box in the back of the room to where Yorda is waiting for you and call Yorda, then you can use the box as a platform to get her up to the room where Ico is. Once in the room, break the seal on the stone statues and proceed to the Waterfall stage.
