Step-by-step walkthrough
Set off in opposite directions
Fireboy starts at the top right and runs LEFT. Watergirl starts on the lower left and runs RIGHT. These are separate mirrored routes: there is no lever or pressure plate to wait for, and either hero can finish first.
Jump the three pools
Each hero meets three pools of the dangerous opposite element. Make three separate running jumps, landing on a dry ridge between pools before jumping again. Fireboy jumps over blue water; Watergirl jumps over orange lava. The diamonds above the pools mark the jumps.
Collect the high diamond before turning
After the third pool, climb the large crest. Jump at its top for the high diamond, then follow the downward slope for the next one. Continue to the outer edge: Fireboy reaches the far left, Watergirl the far right. Drop around the end of the shelf.
Follow the return path
Now Fireboy travels RIGHT and Watergirl travels LEFT. Collect the first diamond, then jump across the single smaller pool from its dry bank. Continue over the hills, collecting the remaining diamond between them. Let each landing settle before the next jump.
Drop around the last outer crest
Climb the final crest and move around its outside edge. Fireboy drops at the far right into the upper door passage; Watergirl drops at the far left onto the bottom floor. Each route has eight diamonds if you are aiming for a perfect clear.
Enter both matching doors
Fireboy moves left and jumps onto the small threshold of the red-door alcove. Watergirl follows the bottom floor right into the blue door. The first hero can wait safely at their door until the teammate arrives.
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.
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.
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.
