Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined Animal Statue Puzzle Solution Guide

by

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined has a lot of puzzles, and some players might find them confusing or frustrating. While the answers are usually obvious, a few are trickier to solve. A good example of this is the Animal Statue Puzzle in the Likeness of the Great Evil.

When players arrive at the temple in the Al-Balad region, they’ll find a large door blocking their path, and it requires a special solution to open. This guide will show you how to solve the puzzle, allowing you to continue the story in DQ7R and help save Al-Balad from the Demon King’s army.

How to Solve The Animal Puzzle Statue in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined

To complete the Animal Statue Puzzle in the Likeness of the Great Evil, players must first read the inscription in the center of the room. This inscription is surrounded by four statues of animals: a turtle, an eagle, a lion, and a snake.

In the middle of the four statues, you’ll find a pedestal with a slot for the ‘Seal of The Sands’ – the one you get after completing Hadad and the Elder’s quest. Use the seal on the pedestal to begin the puzzle. Then, activate the tiles in this order:

  1. Bottom Left
  2. Top Right
  3. Bottom Right
  4. Top Left

If you solve this correctly, you’ll be able to continue exploring the temple. But watch out – dangerous enemies are hiding in the shadows!

Beyond the peak of the Great Evil, a formidable opponent awaits: Setesh the Punisher, a general in the Demon King Army.

This tough enemy weakens your team’s defenses before hitting twice each turn, dealing significant physical damage. Make sure your party has increased Defense and equip them with the Ruby of Protection (won by winning the L’Arca animal contest) and other items that boost their protection.
