Heavy ball relay
Also searched as: Heavy Ball
The short answer
Unlock the door on the left of the map room and walk straight in to find the heavy ball. You cannot move while holding it, so pass it to a teammate, run ahead yourself, have them pass it back, and repeat until the ball reaches its plinth.

The same mechanic as the red tower heavy ball relay, in a different place. The player who goes first handles route and positioning; the one holding the ball waits.

Run the relay
The holder cannot move. The receiver walks up in front of the holder, takes the ball, runs a stretch, stops, and waits for the next player. Repeat until the ball is on its plinth.
Faster: The receiver takes their position first and only then does the holder let go - never leave the ball in a state where nobody is catching it.
Schematic: the shared timing of relay and throw puzzles. Whoever holds the ball, or the timer, cannot move - it is always "catcher in position first, then hand off".
Where it goes wrong
These are the places players actually get stuck most often. Working through them in order usually finds the cause.

Where this solution came from
games.gg's Chinese guide gives the sequence: open the door left of the map room, find the heavy ball, cannot move while holding, pass to a teammate, run ahead, pass it back. No verified walkthrough clip for this specific puzzle exists yet - to compare against footage, use the full game walkthrough and jump to the blue tower section, or check the tower-tagged clips on the videos page.
Puzzles in this game are not assigned in a fixed order: each tower needs a set number of gourds and has more challenges around it than that, so you choose which ones to clear, in any order. That is why two guides list different puzzle line-ups for the same tower — neither is wrong. Unless a coordinate is credited to a named source it is a community measurement, and later versions can shift it; once you are in the area, trust the landmark over the number.
