Misty Lake (ミスティ・レイク, Misuti reiku^?) is the first area of Sonic and the Black Knight and where most of the tutorials take place. The placid waterway is filled with grind rail-like vines and no small number of townspeople. Ancient palaces sit abandoned inside the chill waters of the lake.

Misty Lake is also the long-time resting place of the sacred sword Caliburn.

Story

After his impromptu summoning to the Arthurian world by Merlina the Wizard, Sonic is teleported away from a preemptive battle with King Arthur to the shores of Misty Lake. The first mission is a tutorial, allowing the player to get the hang of the controls as Merlina instructs Sonic in basic sword-craft. Sonic goes on to retrieve Caliburn from his resting place overlooking the lake—although the sentient weapon takes an instant dislike to Sonic's "knave-ly" attitude.

After the hedgehog practices wielding Caliburn, King Arthur finally tracks them down. True to Merlina's predictions, Sonic is unable to injure the King as long as he holds the scabbard of Excalibur. Arthur withdraws, mocking Sonic as "A fool of a knight, not even worth slaying."

Merlina and Caliburn conclude that Sonic must consult with Nimue in order to learn how to defeat the King; but first he must take Caliburn to Camelot Castle in order to repair the sword's dulled blade.

Gameplay

Throughout Misty Lake, there will be rows of boars trying to run over Sonic the Hedgehog. They are mostly used as obstacles to teach the player how to use Guard. As such, should the player take them down with sword slashes, they will marked for dishonorable behavior on the result screen.
