Walkthrough

• PAL
• NTSC-U

PAL

When you arrive at the building, climb the ladder to the ceiling. Hold on to the pipes and keep moving forward. Pull the lever at the platform at the end to activate the gears in the corner of the building, and the piston will activate, going up and down. Then, go down the ladder, get on the piston, and press the jump when the piston completely sinks down. If you are successful, you will be launched high enough to grab onto the ledge. From there, ascend the ledges, and leave out of the window.

Once outside, go down the ladder and pull the lever by the stairs to open the door to the bulding. When you meet up with Yorda, first push the box in the corner of the yard and drop it into the channel. After this, you must jump from the wooden supports of the waterwheel and onto its rotating paddles. Your goal is to jump from the waterwheel to the metal ledge along the sluice wall, but the timing is quite difficult. When you land on the paddle, you will be gripping on by the chest, so you should first press the button repeatedly to climb up. Then flick your Left Stick to turn swiftly, and without moving forward, so you face the direction of the ledge. Press and push forward on the Left Stick simultaneously. If done correctly, you should leap forward without a running start. You'll need to perform these steps in quick succession.

When you arrive at the building, climb the ladder to the ceiling. Hold on to the pipes and keep moving forward until you reach the corner of the building. From there, leave out of the window.

Once outside, go down the ladder and pull the lever by the stairs to open the door to the bulding. When you meet up with Yorda, first push the box in the corner of the yard and drop it into the channel. After this, you must go to the other side of the sluice channel, and climb up the ladder at the back.

Once on the ledge, climb up and rotate the turn-switch counter-clockwise until it stops. After the sluice closes and the water stops, return with Yorda to the Waterfall room at the end of the tunnel from the channel where the water was flowing.
