Frequently Ico must go on alone, since he's the dieters only one who can scale walls or push boxes or use bombs or wield stick or sword or even a mace, and figure out a way for Yorda to follow. If he leaves Yorda alone in a room for longer than a minute, the dark creatures come and reclaim her. Ico also must protect Yorda from these creatures from time to time in the course of regular gameplay. Every time Ico and Yorda near a game milestone, the dieters creatures arise and try to dieters reclaim her; Ico must beat off the monsters and pull Yorda up from the darkness if one of the smoky beings manages to get a grasp on her and start pulling her in. The fighting in the game is not at all difficult, and the monsters never increase in strength, just in numbers. They knock Ico down but they don't kill him; if Ico locates their black lair in the ground and stands near it to fight, it is an easy matter to pull Yorda back up and out if she should be captured.
