The Timed Crystal Return

Step-by-step walkthrough

1. Collect the lower blues and release Fireboy

   Watergirl collects the blue diamond near her starting shelf, drops to the bottom blue diamond, and uses the purple pair to collect the lower-left blue. Return through purple, land on the ledge to its right, and drop onto the green timed plate. Then cross the bottom floor to the far-right yellow plate and hold it to open Fireboy’s starting gate.

2. Bring Fireboy to the green passage

   Fireboy leaves his starting shelf and collects the red diamond beneath it. Cross the bottom floor for the lower-left red and use the purple pair to reach the small left ledge and its red diamond. Jump right over the purple crystal onto the next ledge, then climb onto the higher middle shelf. Wait to the left of the green gate.

3. Reopen green and board the low lift

   Once Fireboy is out of his starting enclosure, Watergirl can leave yellow. Return along the bottom, use purple again, and hold the green timed plate. Fireboy crosses the open green passage and follows the descending middle ledges to his safe red pool. Collect its red diamond and jump onto the orange lift at the far-right wall while it is still low.

4. Raise Fireboy to the upper passages

   Watergirl leaves green, climbs from the ledge beside the purple crystal onto the higher middle shelf, and crosses the gate before its timer expires. Follow the descending ledges to the orange plate and stand on it. Fireboy rides the lift upward, jumps left for the upper-right red diamond, then jumps onto the blue plate above. Keep him on blue.

5. Send Watergirl through blue and hold the fan

   Watergirl leaves orange and collects the blue diamond over her safe right-hand pool. Jump into the lower blue crystal at the right wall. After appearing above, steer left away from the red pool, collect the high blue diamond, and descend onto the pale-blue timed fan plate in the upper middle. Keep it held.

6. Lift Fireboy to the exit roof

   Fireboy leaves blue and drops around the right end of its shelf. Follow the upper-middle passage left, then jump across the blue pool to collect its red diamond and land on the dry bank beyond it. Continue left across his safe red pool and enter the powered fan. Ride upward and move right onto the roof containing the two exits. He can wait between the doors or enter his red door.

7. Use the delayed fan for Watergirl’s last diamond

   With Fireboy safely on the exit roof, Watergirl leaves the pale-blue plate and runs left across her blue pool. Jump left from the dry bank over the red pool, collecting the final blue diamond and continuing into the fan without pausing. Its source timer keeps it powered for 3.2 seconds after release, long enough to begin the return ascent. Steer right onto the exit roof.

8. Finish at the original upper-left doors

   Walk Watergirl to the blue door and Fireboy to the red door. Either may finish first once Fireboy has reached the roof. Both heroes return with every original diamond; the green and fan timers reset normally when their plates are pressed again.

This route was verified in the game simulation using player controls, required diamonds, and both matching exits. It describes this version’s independently reconstructed room, not an official walkthrough.
