The Water Tower is a location in ICO.
Walkthrough[]
Ascending by gondola, you will come to a water tower with a number of narrow board platforms. Jump over the first hole here with Yorda, and you will find a drawbridge that is going up again. To lower it, let Ico descend the platform alone and continue along the pipe at the lower level. After climbing back up the wall and returning to the upper platform, climb up the railing from which the chain hangs, climb down the chain, and jump toward the bridge. Then, the bridge will come down and you will be able to cross it with the momentum of your body.
After crossing the bridge with Yorda, go to the end of the platform. At the end of the it, there is a small room with a bomb and a wooden stick. Take both of them and bring them to a slightly wider platform where there is a groom's stand. After you light the wooden stick from the platform and confirm that the bomb has ignited from the stick, take the bomb and hurl it at the tower on the left. If the sequence of actions is successful, the tower will collapse to create a new platform.
At the end of the new platform, there is a chain at the edge of the wall. The box there is dropped directly onto the platform below, and Ico also has to descend and push the dropped box to the step on the right side. Next, use the box as a platform to climb up the step, activate the lever to release the chain, and return to the upper platform via the ladder on the opposite wall. After that, use the chain to cross over to the pulley and turn the pulley. Then you will see a platform to the exit. When you try to cross to this platform, shadows will appear, so either quickly pull Yorda away or fight off the shadows.
