Step-by-step walkthrough
Collect Fireboy’s two upper-left diamonds
Jump right from the starting shelf onto the sloping roof, then jump for the red diamond above it. Return left off that roof onto the next shelf to collect its red diamond.
Collect the middle reds and reach Purple
Walk right off the shelf into the middle chamber. Jump onto its raised right side and collect the red diamond there. Return left, jumping the two water patches via the dry island between them. The second jump collects the red above the wider pool. Continue left through the Purple lever.
Climb back through the pointed ledge
Retrace the water jumps to the dry right bank. Jump to the raised middle floor. From its left edge, jump upward before steering left onto the pointed end of the shelf above. Walk left across the lava to the low stone step, then jump up and right onto the sloping roof.
Take Fireboy around the top to the centre
Follow the roof right and jump to the top of the tall central divider. Continue right off it for the last upper red diamond, then descend left along the diagonal passage. Wait on the central sloping shelf above Yellow.
Collect Watergirl’s first two blue diamonds
Leave the starting shelf to the right. From the right ledge, jump left to the long upper shelf and collect its blue diamond. Walk right off that shelf into the water pool, then follow the dry slope left to the blue diamond above the lower pointed ledge.
Collect the central blue
Return to the upper water pool. Jump straight upward before steering left onto the long shelf. Move left and jump across the short upright wall to the central diagonal passage. Descend left for its blue diamond.
Open Yellow from the right-hand side
Climb back up the diagonal passage and jump over the short wall to the right shelf. Drop through the upper water pool again and follow the slope left off its pointed end. Step right down onto the middle floor, then jump right across the small lava patch. Continue right, drop onto the small stone shelf and walk left off it to the Yellow lever. Move fully clear of the lever to its left and jump for the blue diamond there.
Send Fireboy down for the lower red
Yellow has moved its bridge right. Fireboy walks right off the central shelf into the opened passage, then walks left beneath the sloping divider. Jump left across the lower water pool and continue into the lava for its red diamond.
Return Watergirl to the central passage
Jump right from beside Yellow onto the tip of the small shelf above, walk to its middle and jump up-left to the next ledge. Head left and jump over the lava. Jump onto the low wall on the left, then jump back right onto the pointed upper ledge. Follow it to the upper water pool, jump up-left onto the long shelf and repeat the left jump across the upright wall. Descend left along the central diagonal, then move right into the open Yellow passage for its blue diamond.
Collect the lower blue
From the central passage, Watergirl walks left beneath the sloping divider and into the lower water pool to collect its blue diamond.
Collect the two bottom diamonds
Fireboy leaves the lower lava shelf at its far-left end and drops to the bottom corridor. Walk right to the first shadow pool, jump over it and collect the red diamond on the dry middle island. Watergirl jumps left over the lower lava pool, follows the same far-left descent, then jumps the first shadow pool and walks across the middle island for its blue diamond. All fourteen diamonds are now collected.
Pass the Green plate from Fireboy to Watergirl
From the right side of the middle island, each hero jumps over the second shadow pool. Fireboy stands on the left Green plate and waits for the gate to rotate fully open. Watergirl walks beneath it, stops just before her blue door and jumps across the doorway to reach the far-right Green plate. Keep her on that plate.
Cross together and enter either door first
With Watergirl holding the far-right plate, Fireboy walks beneath the open gate and stops just before his red door. Watergirl can now leave her plate and wait just to the right of her blue door. Fireboy walks right into the red door and Watergirl walks left into the blue door; either 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.
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.
