Step-by-step walkthrough
Split across your matching pools
Watergirl goes LEFT across the blue pool at the top; Fireboy goes RIGHT across the lava. Collect the two diamonds along each top walkway. One hero can wait safely at the starting platform while the other finishes.
Descend the outside wall
Continue toward the outside wall and step off the top walkway. Stay in the outer shaft as you fall, collecting the diamonds down that side. Near the bottom, steer slightly inward and land on the lower stone steps.
Use the lower fan and side current
Walk inward across the bottom floor to collect its low diamond, then enter the nearby upward fan for the diamond above it. Let the fan lift you against the underside of the sloping shelf, then steer back outward. You land in the horizontal airway and collect its diamond.
Jump up the stepped shelves
From the horizontal airway, jump outward, then inward toward the first raised step. Jump inward again onto the flat shelf above the airway. These are separate jumps: let your hero land before pressing Jump again. Walk up the shallow steps toward the central fan, collecting the shelf diamonds.
Rise through the central updraft
Enter the upward current in the middle and release horizontal movement while it lifts you. Collect your diamond in this shaft. Near the underside of the top starting platform, steer across the middle: Watergirl goes RIGHT and Fireboy goes LEFT. Collect the diamond just beyond the current.
Circle below the exit
Keep moving toward the far side beneath your matching door. Drop onto the broad walkway below the exit to collect the last diamond. Continue outward along its rising slope, stopping before the tall outer wall.
Jump inward to your door
From the raised end of that slope, jump back inward onto the short ledge holding your door. Watergirl jumps LEFT to the blue exit; Fireboy jumps RIGHT to the orange exit. Walk into the doorway and wait. Repeat the mirrored route with the other hero to finish with all 26 diamonds.
