These doors seem to go to some strange, glowing place, and if the boy is taken inside, the player has failed and must restart from the nearest checkpoint. These enemies, which appear throughout the game, are animated suits of armor that try to grab the boy and drag him into a nearby, magical door. The boy, however, jumps down from a ledge and lands beside it, and a number of enemies are waiting. Shielded by a gate, it visibly makes Trico uneasy. The duo later comes across a strange room housing a blue, glowing contraption.

This one is still wearing its full face and body armor, and seems notably hostile. We learn that this place is Trico’s “nest,” and while your new friend rolls around in some water outside, we catch a glimpse of another Trico creature. Trico slowly becomes more skilled and trusting as well, learning bolder ways to traverse the environment alongside its companion, gaining the confidence to overcome fears, jump larger distances, or dive underwater. We learn that Trico fears the stained glass constructs found among the buildings, and the boy must clear their colorful, eye-like depictions before Trico can move forward.
The puzzles begin simply, as the boy learns to call, climb, and direct Trico. The boy and Trico then begin their journey, or as we’d say, a ten-hour platforming puzzle, to escape these strange ruins. Trico refuses to separate however, and bursts through the wall in an attempt to stay with its new friend. Soon, the boy crawls out of a hole to the outside, and bids Trico farewell, saying he must return to his village. They use this to break open a wall, and continue out of the cave. It’s not long until the player comes upon a special mirror, which when shined onto an area, will prompt a lightning strike from the tip of Trico’s tail. Once he unlatches Trico from its chain, the two begin to search for a way out of the dungeon. He awakens again, but this time to the nudging of Trico, who has now developed a fondness for the boy. Again, he is bucked off and goes unconscious. Once fed, Trico trusts the boy enough to allow him close, and the boy removes another spear from its shoulder. This species particularly enjoys the strange, semi-glowing barrels strewn around, and the boy delivers a few to the cautious Trico. A still antisocial Trico lies there, now hungry, and the boy searches around for something to feed it. After this, Trico kicks in the boy’s direction and sends him flying into a wall. The boy cannot approach Trico directly, as it’s quite defensive, but he can remove a spear stuck in its leg. Its face is covered by half a broken metal plate, its once-majestic wings are clipped, and the creature is chained unwillingly to the ground. Just a bit away lies Trico, a large beast resembling a bird-dog-dragon hybrid. The narrator, an older version of the boy, explains that he has no idea how he got here, or why his body is covered in strange markings. The scene opens to a dark dungeon, where a young boy has just awoken. Players must press buttons along the DualShock controller to clear these images and begin.
Our next view is of a black screen filled with strange symbols. The last entry shown is of a species named Trico. They begin with simple creatures - birds and giraffes - but then the images become more fantastic - strange lizards and dragons. The camera then pans over multiple pages of some sort of nature diary, depicting and naming various species.
We see by their shadow a human approaching the object, and then the title screen overtakes the scene. The Last Guardian begins with a simple menu screen: a metal disc buried in dirt, and a simple prompt to begin.
