Step-by-step walkthrough
Collect the middle diamonds
Fireboy walks right along the starting shelf for its red diamond. Watergirl jumps right from her lower starting ledge onto that shelf and walks right for its blue diamond. She returns to the shelf’s left end.
Visit the blue above cyan
Watergirl jumps left across the gap onto the cyan plate shelf, collecting its blue diamond. Fireboy returns to the left end of the middle shelf, follows the same jump, and stands on cyan.
Collect Watergirl’s lower blue
Watergirl steps off the right edge of cyan’s shelf, lands on her starting ledge and walks left to fall onto the shelf with the blue diamond. Step off its right edge again and return left onto the lowest shelf, beside the upper orange crystal.
Hold orange for the first descent
Fireboy leaves cyan, drops around the right edge of its shelf to the starting ledge, and walks left down to the next shelf. Jump right onto the starting ledge, then jump left onto the orange plate. Hold it while Watergirl walks left into the upper orange crystal. She emerges in the bottom corridor and walks right for the low blue diamond. Continue almost to the far-right purple crystal and wait.
Position cyan beneath the ceiling crystal
Fireboy leaves orange, walks right onto the starting ledge and jumps onto the middle shelf. Return to its left end, jump left to cyan and hold it until the upper cyan platform finishes moving right beneath the ceiling crystal.
Reach the required white diamond
Watergirl enters the purple crystal at the far-right end of the bottom corridor. She falls from its ceiling partner onto the cyan platform. Move to the platform’s right end and jump right across the shadow pool onto the safe central island, collecting the white diamond. Fireboy keeps holding cyan throughout.
Return through purple
Watergirl moves to the island’s left edge, then jumps left onto the cyan platform. Stand directly below the ceiling crystal and jump straight up into it. She returns to the far-right bottom corridor. Stop and wait there.
Reopen orange for Watergirl
Fireboy repeats the descent from cyan’s shelf to the lower-left shelves. Jump right onto the starting ledge and left onto orange. Watergirl walks left across the bottom corridor into the lower orange crystal and emerges beside the lowest left shelf.
Exchange the orange holder
Watergirl walks right up the lowest shelf’s slope, then jumps left onto the shelf above. Jump right onto the starting ledge and left onto the orange plate beside Fireboy. She now holds orange.
Collect Fireboy’s lowest diamonds
Fireboy leaves orange to the right, falls past the lower shelves and walks left onto the lowest shelf for its red diamond. Walk left through the upper orange crystal, then right along the bottom corridor for the far-right red diamond. Watergirl stays on orange.
Bring Fireboy back upstairs
Fireboy returns left through the lower orange crystal. Walk up the lowest shelf’s right slope, jump left onto the next shelf, jump right onto the starting ledge, and jump right again onto the middle shelf.
Collect the final red
Fireboy jumps right from the middle shelf’s left end onto the exit shelf. Continue past the red door for the high red diamond, then wait on the shelf to the right of his door. His brief earlier visit to the door does not finish the room while Watergirl is still downstairs. All nine diamonds are collected.
Bring Watergirl to the exit shelf
Watergirl leaves orange to the right and reaches the starting ledge. Jump right to the middle shelf, then jump right onto the exit shelf. Wait to the left of the blue door.
Finish at the matching doors
Watergirl walks right to the blue door. Fireboy walks left to the red door. Either character can arrive first.
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
Count the ring-marked diamonds still visible. All 1 are required before both matching doors can finish this room; each hero collects their own color.
A gate or platform moved back
A pressure plate releases when its rider or weight leaves. Keep your partner on it until you are safely across. Levers stay set after you leave; check their ON or OFF state before crossing.
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.
