Step-by-step walkthrough
Prepare the first lift
Move the white fairy into the lower-left green lamp and let its lift descend. Watergirl jumps onto the low left end of the bottom seesaw and walks towards its right side. Fireboy then jumps onto the seesaw from the right.
Lift Watergirl
Move Watergirl back towards the left end, then jump left onto the lowered lift, collecting the blue diamond. Move the fairy into the lower-right green lamp. The left lift rises while the right lift descends. Watergirl walks right through her matching pool to collect the next blue diamond.
Lift Fireboy
Fireboy walks to the left end of the seesaw and waits for its right end to rise. Move right across the beam and jump onto the lowered right lift, collecting the red diamond. Move the fairy into the open middle passage to raise Fireboy, then collect his red diamond beside the lava.
Change sides above the pools
Jump each hero onto the small central island from the outside edge of their pool. Start with a straight jump before steering towards the island. Fireboy jumps left onto the lava shelf; Watergirl jumps right onto the water shelf.
Use the blue lifts
Place the fairy in the central blue lamp. Both outer lifts descend. Jump each hero onto their lift, then move the fairy upwards through the open passage. The lifts rise. Walk Fireboy right and Watergirl left onto the inner stone ledges, collecting their diamonds.
Cross the hanging bridge
Fireboy jumps from the right end of his ledge onto the hanging bridge, moves towards its centre and jumps right onto the lava shelf. Watergirl follows from her left edge, moves towards the bridge centre and jumps left onto the water shelf. Collect both diamonds on these shelves.
Raise the yellow lifts
Put the fairy in the left yellow lamp to lower Watergirl’s lift. She jumps aboard. Move the fairy to the right yellow lamp to raise Watergirl and lower Fireboy’s lift. Fireboy jumps aboard, then the fairy leaves the lamp to raise him.
Collect the outer diamonds
Watergirl jumps onto the upper seesaw from the left, crosses to the right and drops through the blue diamond before jumping back onto its right side. Fireboy jumps onto the seesaw from the right, crosses left and drops through the red diamond.
Balance the upper seesaw
Watergirl moves to the left side of the beam so Fireboy can jump back onto it. Fireboy stays near its left tip while Watergirl crosses to the right. Wait for the right tip to rise. Watergirl runs towards its end and jumps right onto the upper water ledge. Keep moving right after landing on its slope.
Bring Fireboy up
Fireboy moves across to the right side and lets it sink. Jump left onto the beam near the centre, jump again towards its raised left tip, then jump left onto the lava ledge. Keep moving left after landing on the slope. The upper red and blue diamonds are collected during these jumps.
Reach the pink ferry
Jump Fireboy right and Watergirl left onto the stone banks above their pools. The pink lever hangs down from the middle of this floor. Move the fairy through it as needed to bring the ferry to the right, then jump Watergirl aboard.
Carry Watergirl left
Move the fairy away from the ceiling lever and back through it. Wait for the ferry to reach its left end, collecting Watergirl’s blue diamond along the way. Move the fairy into the top yellow lamp and wait for both side gates to rise. Watergirl jumps left and walks into the upper water pool.
Carry Fireboy right
Fireboy jumps onto the ferry at its left end. Move the fairy through the ceiling lever to send him right, collecting the red diamond. Wait for the ferry to stop, then return the fairy to the top yellow lamp. Fireboy jumps right and walks into the upper lava pool.
Reach the top galleries
Watergirl jumps right and Fireboy jumps left towards the high stone galleries. Each lands beside a raised yellow gate. Move the fairy out of its lamp so both gates lower, then walk the heroes into the galleries.
Collect the final red diamond
Fireboy jumps left from the right gallery and lands near the blue exit. Walk him across the central floor, passing his own exit, then jump left onto the top-left gallery. Collect its red diamond and wait there.
Collect the final blue diamond
Watergirl jumps right from the left gallery, walks across the central floor and jumps onto the top-right gallery. Collect the blue diamond. Both heroes now have all sixteen diamonds.
Finish together
Return Fireboy from the left gallery to the red exit and Watergirl from the right gallery to the blue exit. Either hero may enter first.

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.
A fairy will not reach its lamp
Guide it through the open corridor instead of dragging through stone. Clear the barrier first and match the lamp color; a white fairy can light any lamp. Keep the fairy in the cup while its connected platform is needed.
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.
