The video also shows various puzzles that the player needs to do in order to befriend Trico and help him escape from his confinements. Players can accomplish this feat by feeding him barrels that are scattered in the game world.

Trico also attacks the guards that attempt to capture the player. 

The animation used for "The Last Guardian" are realistic and intricate.
