Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. Collect the two starting diamonds

    Move each hero left along the starting platform through their matching diamond. Keep Fireboy above while Watergirl steps off the left end to the walkway below.

  2. Send Watergirl to the wind switch

    Watergirl follows the walkway left across the water, up the slope and through her high blue diamond. Step left off the small high shelf and descend to the little stone step below. Walk right into the Pink lever’s chamber to turn the crosswind off.

  3. Collect the wind-corridor diamonds

    Fireboy steps off the starting platform’s left end and walks right through his red diamond beneath it. Watergirl leaves the Pink chamber from its left side: jump straight up before steering left onto the little step, then jump straight up before steering right onto the high shelf. Return across the water and follow Fireboy through the blue diamond in the stopped wind corridor.

  4. Descend the right-hand chute

    Take each hero right beyond the walkway’s end onto the next shelf, then step off its right tip. Let the sloping ledges guide them down. Fireboy collects the higher red diamond. Move Watergirl beneath it through the lower blue diamond and wait on the broad right-hand ledge.

  5. Cross onto the hanging platform

    Fireboy walks to the left tip of the broad right-hand ledge and jumps left onto the chain platform. Walk towards its left end. The platform moves and tilts under his weight, so keep the landing surface in view.

  6. Collect the high red diamond

    As the left end rises, jump up-left to the red diamond beneath the switch chamber, then steer back right to land on the hanging platform. Take a short run left and jump across the purple goo to the low stone bank on the far left. Jump while the platform still supports Fireboy.

  7. Climb the left-hand shelves

    From the low bank, move to its left edge. Jump straight up before steering left onto the sloping shelf, then jump farther left onto the broad bank. From the clear right-hand side of that bank, jump up-right to the shelf with the red diamond.

  8. Hold the high Green plate

    Fireboy jumps back left onto the middle ledge. Jump straight up before steering right onto the higher red-diamond shelf. Jump up-left to the highest platform and stand on the Green plate. Keep Fireboy there to raise the lower-right gate.

  9. Open the lower exit passage

    Watergirl steps left off the broad right-hand ledge to the dry bottom bank. Walk right through the raised Green gate and across the Purple lever. This moves the lower-left bridge right, opening the drop to the doors. Return left through the gate to the dry bank.

  10. Bring Watergirl across the hanging bridge

    Watergirl jumps straight up before steering right onto the broad ledge again, then jumps left onto the hanging platform. Walk towards its left end and jump across to the low left bank, collecting the high blue diamond along the way. Climb the bank’s right-hand point if needed after landing.

  11. Collect the last blue diamond

    Watergirl moves to the low bank’s left edge, jumps straight up before steering left onto the sloping shelf, then jumps left onto the broad bank for the remaining blue diamond. Fireboy can now leave Green: descend right from the top platform, left from the next shelf and right from the middle ledge to rejoin her on the broad bank.

  12. Drop into the matching doors

    With all diamonds collected, take one hero at a time off the broad bank’s right edge to the low stone bank, then step left into the opening made by the Purple bridge. Fireboy walks left into the red door; Watergirl lands in the blue doorway. Either 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.

How this room’s mechanisms work

    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.

    Controls Moving platform 1.

  • Switch 3

    upper left

    Keep a hero or movable weight on this plate to keep its signal active. Stepping off releases it.

    Controls Moving platform 2.

  • Moving platform 1

    lower left

    At least one of these inputs must be active: Switch 2.

    When powered, it moves right; when power is released, it returns.

    At least one of these inputs must be active: Switch 3.

    When powered, it moves up; when power is released, it returns.

  • Fan 1

    upper right

    At least one of these inputs must be active: Switch 1.

    The air current pushes left. Stay in the stream until you can move onto a dry landing.

  • Hanging plank 1

    lower center

    Its position responds to the weight and position of riders.

    Balance on the hanging plank, then jump to the next dry ledge.

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.

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.

For touch controls, jumping, audio, or online connection problems, see player troubleshooting.
