The Hanging Passage
Use the two hanging platforms to open the return lift. Rescue the small friend, use the crate as a step across lava, and guide the friend through the narrow zigzag and roof passages. The pink gate needs to change position while the friend leaves the far-right alcove. Finally, hold the yellow button to lower the heroes towards their exits.

Step-by-step walkthrough
Cross the hanging platforms
Fireboy jumps from the left bank onto the first hanging platform and then the central island, collecting the red diamond. He crosses his lava and jumps onto the green button above the white lever. Watergirl follows across both hanging platforms, collects the blue diamond and walks through the raised green gate to turn white on.
Return to the left-hand lift
Watergirl returns across the second hanging platform to the island. Fireboy drops into his lava before jumping onto that platform from nearby. Both heroes cross the first hanging platform back to the left bank, then jump onto the lowered white lift and up to the middle passage.
Reach the upper pool
Fireboy collects the middle red diamond. Watergirl jumps across the middle lava for her blue diamond. From the dry ground just left of the small rising slope, jump onto the platform above, then left onto the upper water bank.
Collect the high red diamond
Fireboy jumps from the upper pool’s right bank onto the crate and jumps again for the high red diamond. Jump left onto dry stone. Watergirl pushes the crate towards the left bank, stopping before it traps Fireboy against the wall. Fireboy jumps onto it and up to the yellow button.
Free the small friend
Watergirl uses the crate to jump for the high blue diamond and joins Fireboy at the yellow button. Select the small friend, walk right into the newly opened floor gap, then left off the short shelf and right onto the middle passage. Stop on dry stone before the lava.
Move the crate back across the upper pool
Watergirl drops onto the yellow panel beside the crate. Fireboy leaves the button, allowing the panel to return and Watergirl to drop to the crate’s left side. She pushes it back towards the middle of the pool. Fireboy uses the crate to cross to the right bank and jumps onto the middle platform, leaving the delivery path clear.
Deliver the crate to the lava
Watergirl uses short, controlled pushes to send the crate off the upper bank onto the middle platform. Fireboy pushes it left off that platform onto the passage below. Watergirl jumps over the crate and waits safely on the right before Fireboy pushes it into the middle lava. Leave it near the lava’s left side as a stepping stone.
Guide the friend across
The small friend jumps from the left bank onto the crate and then onto the dry right bank. Follow the passage underneath the blue gate. At the right-hand slope, jump near the stone corner and continue up onto the platform.
Climb the narrow zigzag
Jump left across the gap and walk up the slope to the zigzag. Alternate between its left and right steps, waiting briefly before steering sideways so the rounded feet can catch each corner. At the top, drop left onto the blue button and stay there.
Bring the heroes through blue
Fireboy crosses the raised blue gate along the lower passage. Watergirl first drops off the left edge of the middle platform, then follows him through. Both climb the right platforms to the pink lever. Watergirl jumps for the high blue diamond here. Turn pink on and then back off before leaving; its lower passage must be open for the heroes.
Reach the right lift
Jump across to the stone before the purple goo, then jump across the goo to the right bank. Fireboy jumps for the high red diamond. Walk right past the end of the bank and drop onto the yellow lift. Watergirl follows and waits there.
Take the friend across the roof
The small friend leaves blue by dropping off its left edge and returning along the lower passage. Climb the zigzag again, but this time jump right at the top and walk through the low roof passage. Continue to the far-right alcove and stop before the closed pink gate.
Open the alcove, then the lower passage
Fireboy jumps from the right lift back to the bank, crosses the goo and returns to the pink lever. Turn pink on so the friend can walk left out of the upper alcove and drop onto the bank. Turn pink off again so the friend can walk right through the lower passage and drop onto the lift.
Lower the yellow lift
The small friend walks left off the right-hand platform, drops into the narrow passage beneath it and walks right onto the yellow button. Keep the friend there. Fireboy returns across the goo and joins Watergirl on the lowered lift.
Collect the last two diamonds
Drop left from the lowered lift onto the bottom floor. Fireboy jumps for the far-right red diamond. Both heroes jump left across the bottom goo. Watergirl jumps for the blue diamond beside her exit ledge, then jumps up onto that ledge.
Finish together
Fireboy walks left into the lower red door. Watergirl walks left into the upper blue door. Either hero can enter first; all ten diamonds should be collected before finishing.

A box can provide a step, load a counterweighted lift, or hold a pressure plate where the room’s layout allows. Follow the room route before moving it.
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.
