The pond in front of Sonic has some sort of plug. Above it, a chain is connected to a huge stopper stone. Maybe it'll move if something hits it with enough force.

— In-Game Description, Sonic Frontiers

Drain the water to move on is an Island Mystery in Sonic Frontiers. It is the first Island Mystery on Ares Island, as well the third one overall. Its goal consists in draining the water in order to continue.

Description

“Drain the water to move on” takes place in between the middle and north-west regions, close to 2-4. The area is mostly covered by a pond, with a chain connecting it with a giant stopper stone, located above it. A cannon is also placed in the area.

As Sonic Frontiers has a day-night cycle, some background elements might differ from player to player.

Story

Some time after Knuckles stopped Sage's attempt to attack Sonic, the two would find themselves stuck because of a nearby pond. Trying to figure out a way to drain the water, Knuckles observes the giant stopper stone above the pond, thinking that something will happen if they interact with it. Sonic offers himself to try and jostle it, thus starting this Island Mystery.

Gameplay

In order to start this Island Mystery, the player will have to Cyloop a missile located near the pond, which will make Sonic carry it. Once the missile has been Cylooped, the player will have to take it towards the cannon, load it using /, and fire it into the middle of the pattern on the giant stone stopper, changing the color from red to cyan and draining the pond.

During this Island Mystery, after Cylooping the missile, the player will only have 30 seconds to hit the stone stopper before the missile explodes, which will require them to restart the Island Mystery.
