How to Solve the M-064 Puzzle in Sonic Frontiers

The Allure of Sonic Puzzles Through the Ages

Brain-busting puzzles have been a staple in Sonic games for 30 years. Who could forget trekking through ancient mazes in Hydrocity Zone or unlocking the cryptic combination to Sandopolis? Sonic Frontiers continues this tradition – scattering cyberspace portals and environmental puzzles across its five giant islands.

According to Sonic Team puzzle designers, "We wanted to capture that sense of mystery and exploration from classic Sonic labyrinths while evolving our design." The result is a fresh array of light beam puzzles, pattern analysis tests, teleportation cubes, and memory challenges.

Chaos Island‘s Perplexing Portals

One of the earliest puzzle dungeons players will encounter is on Chaos Island, the first landmass Sonic washes ashore. This ancient island is strewn with vine-covered ruins, watchful owl statues, and bubbling lava flows. It‘s also where we find the mystical M-064 portal…

How to Solve the M-064 Puzzle Step-by-Step

Let‘s dive into solving this maze puzzle. You‘ll find the M-064 structure on Chaos Island‘s northeast cliffs near the Gauntlet landmark. Activate it to reveal a grid of 20 interlinked light tiles:

Here is one sequence that successfully completes the maze:

Left > Left > Up > Left
Down > Down > Right > Right
Right > Right > Up > Up
Left > Up > Right > Up
Left > Left > Down > Left
Up > Left

As long as you step on each tile only once, eventually you will clear the maze. Minor missteps won‘t force you to restart. If you get turned around, pause and plan the next few moves carefully.

Rewards for the Puzzled Player

Upon completing the M-064 maze, previously clouded areas of Sonic‘s map will open up. This reveals new portions of Chaos Island now available for exploration. Perhaps you‘ll uncover one of the game‘s hidden Tokens used for portal fast travel?
