Ico

Destroying the Smoke Creatures easily
If you enter a room, and it is a clear run to the portal on the other
side, take Yorda by the hand and run her to the portal with the black
Smoke Creatures chasing you. As you approach the portal,
Yorda's activation of the portal will create lightning which will destroy
the creatures anywhere near you.

Finding Yorda
When in the last level with Ico's horns cut off on the beach, go towards the
left following the shore of the beach to find Yorda.

Avoid losing Yorda
To avoid losing Yorda, as soon as you set her free press R1 and hold her
hand, then run to the door . You should also pick up the stick that falls
so you can defeat the Shadow Creatures easily.
