How to solve the heavy ball puzzle

Fact-checked Aug 11, 2026Captured two-player route + community completion report

Quick answer: The player holding the heavy ball cannot walk. Stand close, pass it to another player, move ahead, and repeat the hand-off until the ball reaches the goal.

Find the relay platform

The captured two-player Red route places this puzzle near 3740, 1620, on a dark blue-purple platform in the forest southeast of the Red Tower. Use the heavy ball mounted at the start as the visual match; the coordinates describe that recorded world, while House House notes that some world details change with party-size selection.

Pass; do not try to walk with it

The player holding the ball cannot move. The free player should stand in front of the carrier, take the ball, and become the new stationary carrier. The first player then walks ahead and takes it back. Repeat the exchange as a relay.

Gain height with every hand-off

Keep the next receiver a short distance uphill so each transfer advances toward the goal platform. A two-player run is slow but works without throwing the ball. With a larger group, form a short chain and make sure only the next receiver reaches for it.

  • Receiver moves into reach
  • Receiver takes the ball and stops
  • Former carrier moves uphill
  • Repeat until the ball reaches the goal

If the group loses the route

The captured guide used a lantern to mark the destination as the light changed. A later community completion discussion reports that their group carried this same heavy ball across the map because they did not find a closer substitute, so do not abandon it on the assumption that another ball must be nearby.
