In Dragon Quest 7 (DQVII) Reimagined, you will eventually reach a point in the story where you'll visit the Ballymolloy region and get sent to the Rainbow Mines to retrieve a green gem for a little boy who's trying to heal his sick father. Going through the dungeon won't take most players that long, but there is one rather tricky puzzle that might trip people up.
This guide will show you how to clear the ball puzzle in the Underground Level 4 area of the Rainbow Mines in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.
TL;DR: If you want the answer to the puzzle right away without any fluff, go ahead and push the third red ball (counting them from left to right) to smash the ball on the wooden platform. Next, push the second red ball. And finally, push the last red ball to clear the little puzzle to continue the dungeon.

Rainbow Mines Underground Level 4 Puzzle Solution (DQ7 Reimagined)
You can check out the video below to get a clear understanding of how to solve the puzzle, but for a rundown of the steps, here's what you need to do:
- There are three red balls to push. Counting them from left to right, you want to start by pushing the third red ball to break the other red ball on the wooden platform. This will cause the rock to fall into the lower gap, creating a path to the red ball beneath the platform.
- Next, push the second red ball onto the wooden platform to smash the other red ball --this will make the blue ball fall to the lower level and smash into the other blue ball on the lower path.
- And last but not least, push the final red ball on the left, and it will roll down the cleared path to smash the ball at the end.
- Doing this will turn the wooden platform near the staircase into a bridge for you and the party to walk across.
- Huzzah! You've completed the Rainbow Mines Level 4 ball puzzle in DQ7 Reimagined --pat yourself on the back.
