GameDescription
Can it cure Hank?[1]
Could this be just the thing to get Hanlon back on his feet?[2]

When the party first arrives at the village of Ballymolloy, they meet a young boy named Patrick, whose father Hanlon has been badly hurt while defending the village and is bedridden. Apparently, he can make a complete recovery with one of the rocks mined from the Rainbow Mines located in the southeast part of the island. Patrick asks the adventurers if they can venture into the mines and find it for him. After entering the mines, the group runs into the warrior Maeve and they tell her about Patrick's request. She lets them know that a fragment of a green rainbow rock will be able to cure Hanlon. They ask her for help locating it, but she coldly replies that she's busy and can't assist them before heading out on her way.

The green gem in the Nintendo 3DS version.

The party journeys deeper into the mine and finds the green gem that they're looking for, but realise that it's too massive for them to carry out on their own. Suddenly, Maeve appears once again and apologises to the group for leaving them behind. She places her hands on the gem and breaks off a piece of it that they can take back to Patrick. The warrior also gives them a wooden doll, a gift from her older brother Molloy, before leaving as quickly as she arrived. Back at the village, Patrick is elated to get the gem from the party and uses its light to begin curing Hanlon, who will be completely cured in no time.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]

While visiting the Altar of the Forgotten Past in the Echo Chamber, the party ends up at the Roamer Encampment, where they meet Rom Baro, the leader of the Roamers. He explains that the dancer Lala has fallen ill with a mysterious illness that cannot be cured with any herbal remedy, prayer, or ritual dance. Her husband Kiefer has set off to the Rainbow Mines in search of the green gem, said to have the power to cure all ailments. The party journeys to the depths of the mines and finds Kiefer. Before he can gets his hands on the green gem, they are attacked by a powerful monster. The group is able to defeat it, earning the admiration of Kiefer, who then heads back to the Roamers to bring the shard of the green gem to Lala.
