Step-by-step walkthrough
Open the upper-left passage
Watergirl drops into the left shaft for her lower blue diamond, falls through the purple crystal, and uses its upward return to reach the upper-left shelf and the blue diamond there. Walk through the green lever and leave it ON. Fireboy follows the purple route for the lower red diamond and jumps from the sloping shelf to the red diamond above the upper passage. Reopen the green lever if that crossing turns it OFF.
Send Fireboy to the far-right lever
From the upper passage, Fireboy walks right into the long white-crystal shaft. Keep the fall clear of the small middle shelves so the white pair launches him high in the far-right shaft. Collect both red diamonds on the way. Steer left onto the upper-right roof, physically turn the pale-blue lever ON, and wait beside it.
Bring Watergirl to the left sliding platform
Watergirl returns to the starting shelf, uses the purple pair again, and makes the running jump from the left slope onto the upper passage. Leave the green lever ON. Follow the upper passage right and collect the blue diamond above the pale-blue platform in the left white-crystal shaft. Wait on that platform.
Release Watergirl through the white pair
Fireboy steps away from his pale-blue handle and walks back through it to turn it OFF. The upper platform moves right and lets Watergirl descend into the white crystal. Use the white pair to collect the far-right lower blue diamond, then return to the middle shaft. Keep Fireboy by his lever.
Open the middle crossings again
Fireboy steps away and back through the pale-blue handle to restore it to ON. Watergirl can now cross the middle openings, collect the blue diamond in the orange-crystal chamber, and reach the lower yellow crystal. Enter yellow to reach its upper chamber and collect the blue diamond there.
Restore the yellow return for Fireboy
Watergirl climbs to the yellow lever shelf. Her first pass turns the initially active yellow circuit OFF; step clear of the handle and walk back into it to restore ON. Wait safely on that shelf. Fireboy still needs the yellow pair to leave the lower shaft.
Finish Fireboy’s lower tour
Fireboy leaves the upper-right roof, uses the orange pair, and collects the red diamond in its left chamber. Cross back to the left lower shaft for the last red diamond, then use yellow to reach the upper-left chamber. Climb past Watergirl’s shelf and descend along the left side to the bottom exit corridor. His passage may now switch yellow OFF; both heroes have finished using it.
Reach both original doors
Watergirl descends from the yellow lever shelf through the left chamber to the bottom corridor. Walk Fireboy to the red door and Watergirl to the blue door. Once Fireboy has returned from his last yellow transfer, either hero may enter their door first. Finish with all twelve diamonds.
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.

If you get stuck
Check the unfinished objective
The diamonds in this room are optional. If you only want to finish, bring both heroes fully inside their own matching doors.
You missed a moving platform
Return to safe ground and use the connected switch to bring it back. Board before your partner releases the plate or changes the lever. Avoid jumping into its underside; line up with the open shaft first.
You cannot recover safely
Pause and choose Restart level to reset both heroes, diamonds, weights, and switches. Previously completed levels stay saved. Follow the step order before moving a box or releasing a weight.
