Walkthrough

When you get out to the open area, there is a bench, so take a breather. After descending the stairs, four black portals will appear and shadows will attack. There are no stone statues here, so the only way is to steadily defeat them one by one. The entrance to the Dark Room at the bottom of the stairs in the graveyard can only be opened by pressing both of the square switches on either side of it. Put the box on one side and Yorda on the other to open the door. Then, only Ico goes to the door first.

Once you enter the dark room, climb the ladder right next to it and jump over to the chains to get to the upper floor. If you don't hurry, a shadow will appear and take Yorda, who is waiting outside, so you don't have time to explore the room slowly. When you go out from the upper floor of the dark room to the balcony outside, there will be a box in front of you. Drop it down, and go to the bottom and place the box on the hollow switch instead of Yorda. This will allow both Ico and Yorda to enter the dark room together. Note, however, that the shadows will reappear.
