Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. Reach the upper diamonds

    Fireboy holds the white button while the heavy friend walks into the opening above and drops down. Watergirl jumps onto the friend’s head, then up through the opening to her blue diamond. She drops back through the opening and takes over the white button so Fireboy can climb up and collect both red diamonds along the roof.

  2. Open the green passage

    Fireboy walks off the right end of the roof into his lava and returns left to the green lever. He then holds white again while Watergirl uses the heavy friend to climb to the roof. Watergirl crosses the small floating island to the high blue diamond on the right. Fireboy crosses his lava and drops to the passage below.

  3. Lower the yellow lift

    Watergirl drops into the middle passage and holds the blue button. Fireboy walks left through the blue gate, turns the yellow lever and returns right. Watergirl climbs back to the dry lip beside the lava, hops onto the right-hand slope, then jumps left to the floating island and roof.

  4. Bring everyone downstairs

    Fireboy jumps back onto the lava ledge, opens green and holds white. Watergirl drops through white and walks onto the lowered yellow lift. The heavy friend follows her down and moves right out of the lift shaft. Fireboy then walks left and drops onto yellow.

  5. Collect the lower diamonds

    Watergirl follows the lower-left shelves through her diamonds; Fireboy collects the reds on those shelves and the bottom-left floor. Move the heavy friend to the blue diamond hanging below the middle-right passage. Watergirl jumps onto his head and jumps again to collect it, then steps off.

  6. Climb to the wind tower

    Move the heavy friend just left of the tower’s lower ledge. Both heroes jump onto his head and then onto the ledge. The friend holds the pale blue floor button to start the fan. Guide each hero up the wind to collect the tower diamonds, then move left onto the small upper ledge.

  7. Collect the upper-right diamonds

    Watergirl drops onto the middle terrace for its blue diamond. Fireboy jumps from the terrace’s right edge onto the upper water bank and then onto the crate to collect the high red diamond. Return to the middle terrace and cross the lava to collect the red diamond below its left edge. Stand clear of the tall left wall before jumping back onto the lava terrace.

  8. Lower the crate to the lava terrace

    Watergirl climbs onto the upper water bank, jumps to the crate’s left side and pushes it right off the shelf. Return via the upper ledge and wind tower. Fireboy moves far enough right to clear the upper shelf before jumping over the crate to its right side. Push it left across the lava with short, controlled pushes, stopping on dry stone before it drops into the water below.

  9. Deliver the crate to the bottom floor

    Move the heavy friend beside the right end of the lower water terrace. Watergirl uses his head to reach that terrace, hops around the crate to its left side, and waits while the friend moves to the far-right floor. Push the crate right down the sloping bank and off the terrace.

  10. Weight the pink button

    Watergirl jumps over the crate to its right side and pushes it left across the bottom floor. Slow down well before the pink button and use small pushes to leave the crate resting on it. Fireboy returns from the wind tower to the bottom floor.

  11. Position the friend for Watergirl

    Move Watergirl away from the crate. Fireboy jumps to its left side and pushes it off the pink button so the exit gates rise. The heavy friend can now walk underneath them to a position just left of Watergirl’s exit. Fireboy jumps around the crate and gently pushes it back onto pink. Watergirl jumps onto the friend’s head, then into the blue exit alcove. She can wait at its right edge without entering the door.

  12. Position the friend for Fireboy

    Fireboy releases pink with the crate again. Move the heavy friend to the right side of the red exit, then gently put the crate back on pink. Fireboy jumps onto the friend’s head and across into the red exit alcove.

  13. Finish together

    Walk into the matching doors. All fifteen diamonds are collected, and either hero can enter first. Leave the crate on pink so both exit passages remain open.

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.

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