Step-by-step walkthrough
Switch on the lower-left lever
Fireboy jumps left from his starting ledge, drops through the left-hand passages and reaches the orange lever on the bottom floor. Leave it on. Return right, jump back across the lava and climb onto the long middle-left walkway.
Hold the upper green plate
Watergirl walks right along her starting walkway. Jump upward before steering left onto Fireboy’s starting ledge, then jump left onto the central block. From a little left of its right edge, jump upward before steering right onto the sloping shelf. Jump left onto the small ledge above, then right onto the green plate. Keep holding it.
Bring Fireboy to the yellow plate
Fireboy jumps left through the lowered green passage, crosses the lava, and climbs the two left-hand steps. Jump upward before steering left onto the yellow plate.
Send Watergirl across the yellow passage
Fireboy briefly steps right off the yellow plate. Watergirl leaves the green plate to the left and drops onto the central block. Fireboy jumps back onto the yellow plate and waits until its platform moves all the way right. Watergirl jumps upward before steering left across the cleared passage.
Open the purple passage
Watergirl walks left through the upper water basin, jumps right onto the roof above it and crosses the purple lever. Leave that lever on. Drop left off the roof, return through the basin and jump back right to the central block.
Bring Fireboy back through green
Fireboy leaves the yellow plate to the right, then drops off the left side of the next shelf and walks right to the lava passage. Watergirl repeats her climb to the green plate. Once it has fully lowered the green panel, Fireboy walks right through that opening and jumps back onto the central block.
Collect the white diamond and raise cyan
Watergirl leaves the green plate to the left, dropping clear of its edge. Descend the central and right-hand ledges to her starting walkway. Walk left down the ramp and beneath the retracted purple panel into the lower chamber. Walk right into the water basin and jump straight up through the white diamond. Then walk right to the cyan lever. Leave it on and wait there.
Open the upper-right passage
Fireboy drops onto the right end of his starting ledge, then jumps right onto the ledge beside the orange panel. Continue right to the shelf beside the raised cyan platform. Drop right onto the lower step and walk left to the pink lever. Leave it on.
Lower cyan at the right moment
Fireboy walks toward the right wall and jumps onto the lower step. Jump upward before steering left onto the shelf beside cyan. Wait on the left part of that shelf, clear of the platform. Watergirl uses Interact at the cyan lever to switch it off, then waits until the platform has fully lowered.
Climb the outer staircase
Fireboy walks across the lowered cyan bridge to the rightmost pillar. Move fully against the right wall. Jump straight upward before steering left onto the upper stone ledge. Jump left once more onto the flat top of the next step and wait there.
Bring Watergirl out of the lower chamber
Watergirl walks left along the bottom floor to the left side of the white-chamber ramp. Jump straight upward before steering right onto the ramp’s low tip. Walk right up the ramp, jump upward before steering left onto the central ledge, then repeat Fireboy’s route across the right-hand ledges. Cross the lowered cyan bridge and climb the outer staircase.
Enter both doors
Both heroes can wait on the flat upper-right step. Each walks left up the sloping ledge, jumps upward, then steers right onto the exit walkway. Fireboy enters the red door and Watergirl the blue door. Either hero can go first.
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
Count the ring-marked diamonds still visible. All 1 are required before both matching doors can finish this room; each hero collects their own color.
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.
