The World

The World is where the bulk of the story in The Last Guardian takes place.

Summary
The World of The Last Guardian is a mysterious one. Like Ico, it seems to take place in some sort of gigantic stone ruin (although in Ico, this was a castle), though it is unclear whether or not the two games are connected. The Boy ventures into this stone ruin, and discovers Trico, a chained up half-bird, half-cat creature. The Boy sets Trico free, and they begin to work together to escape the ruins. The ruins are punctuated by tall buildings, giant cliffs, underwater passages, broken gantries, elevated walkways, and the constant attacks of the Armored Knights.
