Step-by-step walkthrough
Open the two bottom gates
Fireboy stands on the first orange plate, left of the first gate. Guide the fairy right through that gate. Watergirl follows and stands on the second orange plate, opening the gate farther right. Guide the fairy through it into the yellow lamp in the bottom-right corner.
Ride the bottom-left lift together
Keep Fireboy on his plate while Watergirl returns left through the first gate. She jumps onto the lowered lift at the far left; Fireboy follows. Move the fairy away from the bottom-right lamp and wait for the lift to carry both heroes to the next floor.
Open the first raised passage
Both heroes move right past the orange lever on this floor. Each entry toggles it, so have Fireboy step back through once more and leave it on. Wait for the gate to lower onto the raised stone, then jump both heroes over it. Fireboy stops on the orange plate beyond it.
Hand off the middle gate
While Fireboy holds that plate, Watergirl jumps over the next lowered gate and continues right across the cyan lever. She stops on the orange plate near the right end. Fireboy follows through the gate and waits just left of the cyan lever.
Bring the fairy to the left lamp
The cyan lever has moved the lower-right bridge out of the way. Guide the fairy up through that opening, then left through the gaps above the lowered gates into the yellow lamp against the left wall. This lowers the lift at the right end of the floor.
Ride the right lift to the middle floor
Watergirl jumps onto the lowered right lift. Fireboy walks right across cyan and joins her on it. Move the fairy away from the left lamp; the lift rises. Watergirl steps left onto the orange plate near the right end of the new floor, opening both middle gates.
Bring the fairy into the middle corridor
Fireboy crosses left through both open gates and activates the orange lever near the left end. It lowers the platform blocking the fairy’s route upwards. Guide the fairy right into that opening, up to the middle corridor, then right to the orange plate beside Watergirl. Fireboy returns right through the open gates.
Ride the upper-right lift
With both heroes on the right side, guide the fairy into the yellow lamp against the right wall above them. Wait for the upper-right lift to lower, then jump both heroes onto it. Move the fairy down away from the lamp and wait for the lift to carry them to the top floor.
Bring the fairy above the last gates
Watergirl stands on the top orange plate near the right end, lowering the gate farther left. Fireboy waits beside her. Return the fairy to the right-wall lamp to lower the empty lift, then guide it left into the shaft and upward. Fly left above the lowered gate, then down into the last yellow lamp beside the leftmost raised stone.
Share the top plate and reach the doors
Fireboy jumps left over the middle lowered gate and holds the orange plate on its other side. Watergirl follows; both continue left towards the final gate. Keep the fairy in the last lamp so that gate stays lowered. Jump over it to the door corridor. Fireboy walks left to the red door; Watergirl stops at the blue door. Either hero can 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.
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.
