Step-by-step walkthrough
Reach the lower stone first
Fireboy jumps across the gap after the starting ledge and follows the top path right. Walk through orange lava and jump over blue water. Near the right end, step DOWN the two short ledges and push the LOWER stone RIGHT into its chute.
Wait for the bridge, then roll the upper stone
Fireboy returns left up the two short steps. Wait for the first stone to hold the purple plate and shift the bridge left. Jump right across the upper gap, then push the UPPER stone RIGHT into the outside shaft. It reaches the white plate and opens the white passage. Jump onto the far upper-right step for its orange diamond.
Collect the upper diamonds and descend on the left
Fireboy returns left across the top route. Watergirl follows that route right for its two blue diamonds, jumping over orange lava, then returns left too. Both heroes drop below the starting ledge and follow the outer-left steps downward. Collect the blue diamond by the wall and the orange diamond beside the steps.
Cross the middle and drop down on the right
Both heroes climb the central crest and cross the now-open white passage to the blue diamond on the right. Drop around the RIGHT end of this middle ledge onto the short stairs below. Jump LEFT from the lower step onto the broad central ledge, collecting the floating orange diamond.
Watergirl opens the green gate
Watergirl goes LEFT through her blue pool, collecting its diamond, then drops around the far LEFT end to the bottom green lever. Walk past it to open the green exit gate. Return via the small left-wall step: jump RIGHT back onto the blue-pool ledge and walk right to the central ledge.
Fireboy opens the red gate
Fireboy goes RIGHT through his orange basin and drops around its RIGHT end to the bottom lava. Collect the deep orange diamond, then walk LEFT to the red lever. Walk past it to open the red exit gate. Return right, jump onto the small right-wall step, then jump LEFT onto the orange basin above.
Meet again on the lower central ledge
Fireboy walks to the left edge of the orange basin, below the overhead shelf, then jumps LEFT onto the broad central ledge. Check for all ten diamonds if you want a perfect clear. Both heroes now use the short steps on the RIGHT to climb back toward the middle.
Climb beside the upper shelf
From the broad central ledge, each hero jumps RIGHT onto the lower step and RIGHT again onto the higher step. Stand beside the upper shelf and jump straight UP. Near the top of the jump, steer LEFT onto the shelf. Jumping left too early hits its underside.
Return to the two exit alcoves
Both heroes walk LEFT along the middle shelf to the central crest. Fireboy jumps LEFT through the open green passage into the red-door alcove. Watergirl jumps RIGHT through the open red passage into the blue-door alcove. The first hero waits 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.
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.
