Step-by-step walkthrough
Collect the central red diamond
Fireboy drops through the central portal from the starting floor. Let him descend through the middle red diamond, then steer left to land back on the starting floor.
Share the lower fan
Fireboy jumps right across the portal gap and stands on the far-right bottom plate. Watergirl jumps across after him, enters the lower fan and steers right onto the middle plate. Watergirl holds that plate while Fireboy rides the same fan and joins her on the middle ledge. Each hero collects the matching diamond beside the fan.
Reach the upper fan control
Watergirl jumps left onto the sloping ledge above the fan, then jumps right onto the top pressure plate. Keep her there while Fireboy jumps onto the sloping ledge and enters the upper fan.
Release the green fairy
Fireboy rides the upper fan and steers right onto the top walkway for the red diamond. Return through the fan and steer left onto the long top walkway. Walk through the orange lever to open the green fairy’s chamber.
Let the fairy hold the upper plate
Drag the green fairy out along the top corridor, down through the central opening and right onto the top pressure plate. Watergirl can now leave that plate, ride the fan and cross the top walkway for her blue diamond.
Light the central platform
Guide the green fairy off the plate and around the right edges of the upper and middle shelves. Bring it below the central dividing wall, then around the left edge of the green platform and up into the green lamp. The platform slides left beneath the portal. Leave the fairy in the lamp.
Bring Fireboy to the left red diamond
Fireboy descends around the right shelves to the starting floor and enters the lower portal. He lands on the central green platform. Move near its left edge and make the long jump to the purple platform on the left. Move to that platform’s right edge, briefly step and jump right to clear the overhang, then steer left in the air onto the small ledge for the red diamond.
Release the purple fairy
Fireboy jumps right onto the higher left shelf. Walk right into the upper portal to emerge in the bottom corridor, collect the bottom red diamond and cross the orange lever. Drag the freed purple fairy left into the bottom portal. Release the drag after transport, then guide it left above the middle shelf, around the small left ledge and down into the purple lamp.
Collect Watergirl’s middle diamonds
Watergirl returns around the right shelves to the starting floor and enters the lower portal. She collects the central blue diamond while landing on the green platform. Jump left onto the relocated purple platform, then left onto the small ledge and right onto the higher shelf. Jump across the portal gap and walk along the right middle shelf for the remaining high blue diamond.
Return to the bottom corridor
Watergirl walks left into the upper portal and emerges below. Walk left for the bottom blue diamond. Fireboy and Watergirl wait to the right of the doors while confirming all ten diamonds are collected.
Finish in either order
Fireboy walks left to the red door and Watergirl continues left to the blue door. Either hero can enter first. Keep both fairies parked in their lamps.

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.
