Step-by-step walkthrough
Change the fans at the bottom
Fireboy drops off the left edge of his starting walkway, then steers right before reaching the goo. Walk right across the paired yellow levers on the bottom floor. The horizontal fan switches off and the upper downward fan switches on.
Ride the left fan and collect the low blue
Watergirl moves to the right edge of the vertical fan, just left of the goo. Let it carry her upward alongside the block above. Steer right once her feet pass the middle of the fan, then back left onto the block’s small right-hand lip. Jump left onto the block top, then jump toward the orange lever on the left shelf. Jump left again for the low blue diamond and land on the bottom-left floor.
Bring Fireboy over for the left red
Fireboy walks left along the bottom floor and jumps across the goo into the fan. Repeat Watergirl’s climb and leftward jumps for the red diamond above her starting area. Both heroes can safely wait on the bottom-left floor.
Collect the floating middle red
Fireboy rides the fan and climbs the block again. Take a running jump from its right edge to the middle walkway. From that walkway’s left edge, jump back left through the floating red diamond, then steer left onto the block’s small lip. Climb to its top, visit the orange lever again so the orange right-hand panel remains open, then return to the block and jump right to the middle walkway.
Climb the right-hand steps
Fireboy crosses the lava and drops onto the lower right-hand ledge. From its right edge, jump straight up before steering right onto the narrow step. Repeat upward jumps before steering left onto the next two steps. Collect the red diamond above the highest step, then jump left to the dry right bank of the water basin and wait.
Collect Watergirl’s low middle diamond
Watergirl rides the left fan, climbs the block and makes the running jump to the middle walkway. Jump over the lava and continue right to the lower ledge. Move toward its left edge and jump left onto the small platform below the lava for the blue diamond. Jump right back to the ledge, climb the same steps as Fireboy, then walk left through the water basin.
Switch off the downward fan
Fireboy drops back down the right-hand steps and jumps left onto the lava walkway. Walk left across the lava, drop off the walkway’s left edge and steer right before reaching the goo. Cross the bottom yellow levers once more. The downward fan must now be off before Watergirl crosses the upper gap.
Take Watergirl to the green plate
From the left bank of the basin, Watergirl jumps left through the high blue diamond onto the upper-left walkway. Walk to its far-left edge. Jump upward before steering right onto the sloping shelf above, then jump right again for the last blue diamond. Stand on the green plate and wait: the upper-right panel moves clear of the light ray, powering its receiver and lowering the gate to Fireboy’s next room.
Get the last red and open the blue passage
Fireboy walks to the right end of the bottom floor. Jump upward before steering right through the lowered light gate. Cross the blue lever, move toward the right wall and jump for the final red diamond. Make sure the blue lever remains on, then walk left out of the chamber without jumping across it again. Watergirl continues holding the green plate.
Return Fireboy to the upper route
On the bottom floor, walk left past the yellow levers, back right onto them, then left again so the downward fan stays off. Jump across the goo, ride the left fan and climb to the block top. Run and jump right to the middle walkway, cross the lava and climb the right-hand steps again.
Reach the exit walkway
From the highest small step, take a running jump off its right edge to the sloping ledge on the right. Walk along that ledge, then jump upward before steering left onto the small upper shelf. Jump left across the blue passage and wait on the walkway just right of Watergirl’s door.
Bring Watergirl across
Watergirl can leave the green plate once Fireboy is clear of the lower light gate. Walk off its left side and wait to land on the walkway below. Run from that walkway’s right edge and jump across the upper gap. Walk through the water basin, drop to the highest small step and repeat Fireboy’s running jump and two upper jumps. Wait beside him, to the right of the blue door.
Enter the two doors
All eight diamonds are collected. Fireboy walks left up the sloping walkway to the red door; Watergirl walks left to the blue door. Either hero can enter first.

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.
