Step-by-step walkthrough
Open Green, then Purple
Watergirl jumps right over the short upper pillar to the Green lever. Jump back over the pillar and walk left through the opened Green gate. Drop onto the small square below the gap, then step off its right side to the middle floor. Jump right over the short pillar and walk to the Purple lever. Its platform slides aside above the central fairy vault.
Let Fireboy leave the upper-left ledge
Guide the yellow fairy up through the vault opening, left above the short middle pillar, then down and left below the small square to the upper-left yellow lamp. Fireboy steps left onto the fixed edge while the yellow platform retracts, then steps into its opening and drops to the middle floor.
Enter the central vault
Place the cyan fairy on the magenta plate at the bottom of the vault. Fireboy walks right along the middle floor, jumps over its short pillar and drops through the Purple opening onto that same plate.
Pass the magenta plate to the yellow fairy
Bring the yellow fairy back out of its lamp, retracing the open upper passage into the vault, and place it on the magenta plate. Guide the cyan fairy left through the opened magenta gate. Turn down below the hanging wall, then left and up into the left cyan lamp. This opens the lower-left cyan platform.
Send Fireboy to the bottom blue plate
Fireboy jumps left through the magenta opening and walks left across the next floor. Step into the narrow left shaft, using the little square ledges to descend past both floor openings. On the bottom floor, Fireboy crosses his red pool, jumps over the short wall and stands on the blue plate. Keep him there.
Put Watergirl on the central magenta plate
Watergirl walks left from Purple onto the shifted platform, then farther left into the central opening. She lands on the magenta plate and holds the gate open for the yellow fairy.
Move Yellow to the lower-right lamp
Guide the yellow fairy left through magenta, down below the left hanging wall and into the left shaft. Descend below the small square beside the lower passage, then turn right beneath the hanging wall. Pass through the Blue opening held by Fireboy. Rise just above the tall central wall and move right into the lower-right yellow lamp. The central Yellow gate lowers.
Bring Fireboy back up the left steps
Fireboy jumps left over the bottom wall and crosses his red pool again. Use the small left squares and the fixed floor edges as alternating steps to climb two floors. Walk right beneath the small square and jump through the magenta opening, which Watergirl is still holding. Fireboy can now stand on the central plate.
Send Watergirl through the right passage
Watergirl jumps right through the open Yellow gate and continues beneath the small square to the next hanging wall. Jump straight upward briefly, then steer right through the gap above the lower wall. She drops onto the small square in the far-right shaft.
Transfer Cyan to the upper-right lamp
Guide the cyan fairy away from the left lamp. Go down beneath the left hanging wall, right through magenta and into the central vault. Turn right through the open Yellow gate, staying below its upper stone. Pass beneath the next small square, rise into the gap between the far-right walls, then go right and up the shaft into the upper-right cyan lamp. The bottom-right cyan platform retracts.
Bring Fireboy into the far-right shaft
Fireboy follows Watergirl through Yellow. Walk beneath the small square, jump straight upward briefly beside the next wall, then steer right through its opening. Land on the far-right square with Watergirl.
Prepare the bottom exit floor
Watergirl steps right off the square onto the fixed lip of the floor below. Step a little left through the opened cyan gap to reach the bottom floor. She can wait on its right side without entering her blue door. Fireboy can remain on the square above.
Enter both matching doors
Fireboy descends through the same cyan opening, then moves a little left to the centre of the red door. Watergirl walks left along the bottom floor to the blue door. 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.

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.
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.
