Fireboy And Watergirl 2 Light Temple
About Fireboy and Watergirl 2: The Light Temple
Fireboy and Watergirl 2: The Light Temple is the sequel to the hit cooperative puzzle-platformer by Oslo Albet and Inca Games, introducing an entirely new mechanic: light beam manipulation. After conquering the Forest Temple, Fireboy and Watergirl venture into a temple filled with mirrors, prisms, and coloured lasers. To open the doors and collect the gems, players must push boxes and activate switches to redirect light beams along the correct paths.
Like the original, the game is designed for two players sharing one keyboard, with one controlling Fireboy (arrow keys) and the other controlling Watergirl (WASD). Solo players can switch between characters as needed. The core rule remains: Fireboy can safely walk through fire and red beams but must avoid water; Watergirl can safely pass through water and blue beams but must avoid fire. Both characters must stay away from the toxic green pools.
How to Play
Guide both Fireboy and Watergirl through each level to collect all the gems and reach their respective exit doors — the red door for Fireboy, the blue door for Watergirl. Each character must only touch gems and surfaces matching their element. Coloured light beams from lasers must be redirected using moveable box platforms and mirrors to hit coloured targets, powering the doors and switches that unlock progress.
Many puzzles require careful coordination: one character holds a pressure plate open while the other crosses a gap, or one activates a mirror while the other positions beneath a newly redirected beam. Take your time to read each room before moving — some lasers will damage the wrong character if you rush through.
Controls
- Fireboy — Arrow Keys: Left/Right to move, Up to jump
- Watergirl — WASD: A/D to move, W to jump
- Both can push boxes by walking into them

- Elemental Hazards: Fire pools, water pools, and green toxic slime each affect only specific characters or both
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a second player to complete the game?
No — you can play solo by switching between Fireboy and Watergirl. Some puzzles are designed with two players in mind, but all are solvable alone with careful positioning.
What is the difference between this and the original Fireboy and Watergirl?
The Light Temple adds light beam redirection as its central puzzle mechanic. The Forest Temple (FBW 1) relied purely on levers and platforms, while the Light Temple introduces mirrors, prisms, and coloured beams that must be aimed at matching targets.
Can Fireboy stand in blue light beams or Watergirl in red beams?
No — each character is only safe in beams matching their element. Walking into the wrong coloured beam is fatal, just like touching the wrong pool.
Tips & Strategies
Before moving either character, study the light beam path from the laser source and trace where it currently hits. Identify which target needs to be lit and which mirror or box you need to move to redirect the beam. Acting without a plan often puts a character in the path of a beam they shouldn't touch.
In co-op, communicate clearly about which character will move which object. Many rooms have a "hold and go" puzzle where one player stays on a pressure plate while the other crosses — don't both move at once until you've agreed on who does what. For solo play, complete as much progress as possible with one character before switching to avoid losing track of the state of each switch and mirror.
