Step-by-step walkthrough
Start the fans
Move Fireboy left from the middle shelf, collecting the red diamond as he drops into the left shaft. Walk to the green lever on the bottom-left floor to turn on all five fans.
Open the first fairy gate
Ride the left fan near its left edge so the pointed shelf does not catch your head. Steer right onto the yellow pressure button. While Fireboy holds it, drag the white fairy right through the open yellow gate into the middle pocket under the large stone island. Leave it before the purple gate.
Reach the purple button
Jump Fireboy right into the central fan, cross above the pointed divider, and keep moving right beneath the sloping roof. Drop to the purple button on the bottom-right floor. The purple gates open. Drag the fairy out of its middle pocket through the lower purple gate and around the right side of the island.
Bring Watergirl across the first gate
While Fireboy holds the purple button, walk Watergirl right through the upper purple gate. Stop before the yellow gate.
Open the yellow gate again
Move Fireboy left into the right-middle fan. Steer left through the central chamber, taking its red diamond, then cross the pointed divider and land on the yellow button. Watergirl can now cross the upper yellow gate.
Switch the fans off for Watergirl
Drag the fairy around the outside of the large central island to the green lever on the bottom-left floor. Pass through the lever once to switch the fans off. Keep Fireboy on the yellow button.
Collect the upper-right blue diamond
Walk Watergirl down the first small slope beyond the upper yellow gate. Jump right onto the separate high island and cross it to collect the blue diamond. Walk off its right end onto the ledge below, then walk left off that ledge onto the lower-right shelf.
Open the right white passage
After Watergirl lands on the lower-right shelf, put the fairy in the white lamp underneath it. The white gate rises. Walk Watergirl right through the opening and drop onto the outer fan platform, collecting the blue diamond on the way.
Collect the bottom blue diamond
Walk Watergirl left off the fan platform to the bottom-right floor. Jump left onto the low mound to collect the blue diamond above the right-middle fan.
Return through the middle
Move the fairy away from the green lever and back through it to restart the fans. Ride Watergirl up the right-middle fan and steer left across the pointed divider into the left central fan. Switch the fans off again and let her fall through the remaining central blue diamond onto the broad middle shelf.
Bring Watergirl to her exit shelf
Switch the fans on once more, then place the fairy in the white lamp underneath the left exit shelf. Move Watergirl left into the left fan. Steer left above the exit shelf and land beside her door. She can wait here while Fireboy collects his remaining diamonds.
Take Fireboy to the right shelf
Jump Fireboy right from the yellow button, cross the central fan chamber and drop to the bottom-right floor. Jump onto the outer-right fan platform and ride up. Move the fairy into the right white lamp, then steer Fireboy left through its opened passage to collect the red diamond on the lower-right shelf.
Climb back to the top
Walk Fireboy left up the short slope toward the one-cell step. Jump straight up first, then steer left over the step onto the icy slope. Continue holding left to climb; releasing movement lets him slide back.
Collect the last red diamond
Place the fairy on the yellow pressure button. Walk Fireboy left through the upper yellow gate and collect the red diamond before the purple gate.
Open the last gate and finish
Drag the fairy around the open passages to the bottom-right purple button. Fireboy can pass the upper purple gate and enter the red door. Move Watergirl into the blue door below. Either hero may enter first.

How this room’s mechanisms work
Switch 1
lower left
Walk past the handle, or use it nearby: Enter for Fireboy, E for Watergirl, or the touch Use button. Each use toggles it; it stays set after you leave. A free fairy can also activate it by touching it.
Controls Fan 1, Fan 2, Fan 3, Fan 4, and Fan 5.
Switch 2
middle left
Keep a hero or movable weight on this plate to keep its signal active. Stepping off releases it. A free fairy can also activate it by touching it.
Controls Moving platform 2 and Moving platform 3.
Switch 3

Fairy 1

Drag the fairy with a mouse or finger. Release to stop moving it.
Guide it through open passages into a matching-color lamp. White fairies can use any lamp. Stone and moving barriers block its path; open the physical passage before moving a fairy through it.
Fairy lamp 1

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 jump does not start on ice
Move completely onto a dry stone edge, let the hero settle, release Jump, and press it again. Fireboy keeps sliding, so start braking before the edge.
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.
