Step-by-step walkthrough
Lower the red bridge
Fireboy leaves the right starting shelf, jumps onto the red plate in the middle and stays there. Watergirl walks to the end of her starting shelf, jumps onto the lowered bridge and continues right to collect the first blue diamond.
Collect the outer diamonds
Fireboy takes the red diamond on the upper-left lava shelf, jumps up to the left bank and then onto the shelf with the left green plate. Drop left for the outer red diamond. Watergirl jumps onto the right green shelf and drops right for the outer blue diamond.
Release the stored crate
Both heroes jump back onto their green plates at the same time. The two panels slide apart and release the upper crate onto the one beneath it. Watergirl then leaves her plate and waits on the outer-right shelf.
Send one crate to each side
Fireboy drops around the left shelves to reach the stacked crates from the left. Push the bottom crate across the lava and off the right end of this floor. Return to the middle, move to the right of the remaining crate and push it off the left end.
Build the lower crossings
Fireboy drops beside the left crate, jumps over it and pushes it right into the left lava pool. Jump onto the middle bank and collect both red diamonds on this floor. Go right, jump over the second crate and push it left into the right lava pool.
Bring Watergirl down
Watergirl leaves the left edge of the outer-right shelf and steers back right as she falls, landing on the dry shelf below. Collect the blue diamond there. Jump from the right bank onto the crate, then from the crate onto the middle dry bank.
Hold the cyan passage
Fireboy stands on the cyan plate in the middle. Watergirl collects the middle blue diamond, jumps across the left lava pool using its crate, and drops through the open passage at the far left. Fireboy follows without stopping; the passage stays open for three seconds after he leaves the plate.
Prepare the last crate
Fireboy jumps for the bottom red diamond, moves to the right of the bottom crate and pushes it left into the first bottom lava pool. Watergirl waits on the left dry bank, then jumps onto the crate.
Ferry Watergirl across
Fireboy jumps over the crate to its left side and pushes it right through both bottom lava pools. Watergirl keeps moving to stay over its centre. She collects the last blue diamond from the moving crate, then jumps onto the dry bank at the far right.
Enter the matching exits
Check that all ten diamonds are collected. Fireboy returns to the red exit at the bottom left and Watergirl enters the blue exit at the bottom right. Either hero can enter 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.

Controls Moving platform 4.
Moving platform 1
upper center
At least one of these inputs must be active: Switch 1.
When powered, it moves down; when power is released, it returns.
Moving platform 2
middle center
At least one of these inputs must be active: Switch 2.
When powered, it moves right; when power is released, it returns.
Moving platform 3

Stone box 1
middle center
Walk against its side to push it along its supporting surface.
A box can provide a step, load a counterweighted lift, or hold a pressure plate where the room’s layout allows. Follow the room route before moving it.
Stone box 2
middle center
Walk against its side to push it along its supporting surface.
A box can provide a step, load a counterweighted lift, or hold a pressure plate where the room’s layout allows. Follow the room route before moving it.

A box can provide a step, load a counterweighted lift, or hold a pressure plate where the room’s layout allows. Follow the room route before moving it.
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.
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.
