Fireboy and Watergirl’s Powers and Weaknesses
Fireboy can collect only the red gems. The fiery pools of lava won’t hurt him, but the water will kill him instantly. Watergirl is his opposite. She can only collect the blue diamonds, and while the pools of water will not do her any harm, touching the lava is deadly to her. Be careful: the pools of toxic green goo are lethal to both characters.
Fireboy and Watergirl: Both Must Survive!
Each level of the temple maze is filled with elevators, switches, trap doors, buttons, and other puzzle elements. Flick the switches and make one character hold the buttons for the other. Only good teamwork will see them through – they won’t be able to make it alone. And we mean that quite literally: if one character dies, so will the other. So be sure to bring them both to the exit safely!
