Sonic Frontiers: M-009 puzzle solution guide

Just run up the column

One of my biggest holdups with some of the puzzles in Sonic Frontiers came from absolutely overthinking things. In the case of puzzle M-009, all you need to do is remember that the Cyloop ability exist.

Locating the Sonic Frontiers M-009 puzzle

You can find this one on Kronos Island, near the center of the map, at the exact location in the image above.

It’s located on a little ridge: you can run up it to the west, where the ground looks shimmery.

Solving the Sonic Frontiers M-009 puzzle

So this one is odd, as it doesn’t even properly trigger as a puzzle, per se: it just expects you to solve it on your own. Fair game!

To do that, you’ll just Cyloop (triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox): then run around the little column in the ground. That’ll cause it to raise up, and will grant you access to the puzzle solution: and more of the map. Just wall-run (R2/RT) and you’ll make your way up the column quickly.

There’s a number of these puzzles out there, and getting this one done early will help you spot them.
