Step-by-step walkthrough
Head toward the center
Watergirl starts on the upper-left ledge and moves RIGHT. Fireboy starts on the upper-right ledge and moves LEFT. Both can move together, or one can wait on the starting ledge while the other finishes.
Keep steering during the descent
Continue inward as each hero steps off the starting ledge. The small stone shelves may briefly catch a hero; keep moving toward the center to leave their inner edges. You do not need to jump or use a switch on this exit route.
Land on the exit island
Aim for the broad bottom-center island as you descend. Stay on this island: the lower blue and orange pools lie outside its banks.
Stop at your matching door
Watergirl passes the red door and stops at the blue door on the right half of the island. Fireboy passes the blue door and stops at the red door on its left half. Release movement when your matching door opens.
Finish together
The first hero can wait safely at the matching door while the other descends. The level ends when both have arrived. Its eight diamonds are optional; this verified exit route does not claim an all-diamond clear.
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 jump does not start on ice
Move completely onto a dry stone edge, let the hero settle, release Jump, and press it again. Fireboy keeps sliding, so start braking before the edge.
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.

Which hazards are in The Ice Crossing?
1 orange lava pool (lower right) and 1 blue water pool (lower left). Fireboy can enter orange lava; Watergirl must avoid it. Watergirl can enter blue water; Fireboy must avoid it. If either hero falls into a dangerous pool, both players restart the level.
Does The Ice Crossing need a partner to hold a switch?
There are no levers or pressure plates in this room. Each hero can follow their own route, but both matching exits are still needed to finish.
Why can’t I jump from the ice in The Ice Crossing?
This level has 27 ice strips. Neither hero can jump while standing on ice. Move onto the dry stone edge first; Fireboy slides farther, while Watergirl moves more slowly on ice.
