Chaos Island is a volcanic archipelago that you'll visit halfway through Sonic Frontiers. It has slightly fewer Challenges than the other islands, but many of them are hard to reach. Finding and solving as many Challenges as possible should be an early priority when you first arrive at Chaos Island, since it's harder to navigate than Kronos or Ares.
Unlocking the map will make it easier to find Tails, as well as the Portal Stages and Chaos Emerald Vaults. Use this guide to find all the locations and solutions to the island's Challenges!
M-055
- Location: Southwest of the Stage 3-1 Portal.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Stand on the triangular pedestal on the raised platform near the Challenge Marker. Parry the incoming shot from the cannon to complete the challenge.
M-056
- Location: East of the Stage 3-1 Portal.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Look for stones nearby that look like Tetris pieces. There will be a stack of them, and three identical pieces scattered on the ground. Use Cyloop on the scattered pieces to stack them on the nearby pedestal. Activate the pieces in the same order shown on the completed pedestal, from bottom to top.
If you stack pieces in the wrong order, you’ll need to activate the rest of them to complete the incorrect input, then start over.
M-057
- Location: East of the large caldera on the southern half of the island.
- Reward: Red Seed. There are also some Kocos to collect near the Challenge site!
Stand between the two hoops and jump over the laser as it descends. Continue jumping over the laser until the timer runs out; if you’re hit or leave the platform, you’ll have to start over.
M-058
- Location: South of the White Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Stand on the green tile to begin the Challenge, then dodge left and right to hit the tiles as they light up. You’ll complete the challenge after ten correct entries.
M-059
- Location: North of the Stage 3-1 Portal
- Reward: Red Seed.
Hit the red punching bag to begin the challenge. Deal 150 damage to the target before time runs out. Just keep making combo attacks with a Stomp at the end, and you’ll deal more than enough damage.
M-060
- Location: West of the lava flows on the southern half of the island.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Hit the hourglass with Homing Attack to start the timer. When the blue targets appear, don’t jump through them right away. Instead, look at the bottom of the nearest column for a pile of black sand.
Use Cyloop around the pile to reveal a flower, which will boost Sonic into the air. This will tag the first set of targets and let you get the other set on the way down.
M-061
- Location: Southwest of the Stage 3-2 Portal.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Use Cyloop to activate the nearby pedestal. When the ball and hoops appear, use Homing Attack to knock the ball through each of the hoops, in any order. The easiest way to do it is to remain on the ground and line up the ball with your target hoop before attacking.
M-062
- Location: On the mountaintop south of the Stage 3-4 Portal. It’s midway between the Portal and the White Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Step onto the floating platforms near the Challenge Marker and carefully use Cyloop to activate the glowing orbs there. Each orb will open the path to the next one; just don’t fall off!
M-063
- Location: Southeast of the Squid patrolling near the Blue Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Use Cyloop to activate the pedestal on the raised platform near the Challenge Marker. Knock the ball through all three hoops within the time limit. For the higher hoops, stand close to the ball and hit it from ground level to get the best angle.
M-064
- Location: South of the Squid’s patrol area near the Blue Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Blue Seed
Follow the diagram above to step on each lit tile exactly once within the time limit.
M-065
- Location: West of the Squid’s patrol area near the destroyed Death Egg.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Stand between the two circular devices. A laser will appear. Jump over the laser as it lowers – you’re essentially playing jump-rope until the timer runs out. If you leave the platform you’ll have to start again.
M-066
- Location: On the small island in the southeast corner of the map, north of the Purple Portal. You can talk to Tails nearby, if you’ve opened his Cyber Cage.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Extinguish the torches on the ground level using Cyloop. There are two inside the ruined structure, and two around the perimeter. Once all four are extinguished, use the spring behind the ruins to reach the platforms they’ve created. Extinguish the final torch that you find there to complete the Challenge.
M-067
- Location: Northeast of Stage 3-3.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Use Cyloop on the triangular pedestal near the Challenge Marker to activate it. A tower will grow from the ground that you can run up. Hit the switch on the ground at the base of the tower, then run up and hit the switch on the platform near the top. Finally, hit the switch sticking out of the cliff face. When all three switches are hit, the Challenge is completed.
M-068
- Location: On the small island off the eastern coast. The only way to reach it is via a rail at the top of the icy mountain.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Use Cyloop on the bricks on the ground that look like Tetris pieces. You need to activate them in the order that will cause them to copy the cube on the pedestal. The correct order is Blue, Black, Purple.
M-069
- Location: On a hilltop southeast of the Stage 3-5 Portal. Watch out for the Squid patrolling the skies over the valley below!
- Reward: Red Seed.
Step on each of the lit tiles exactly once, without touching any dark tiles or leaving the Challenge grid. Follow the diagram above for the correct path.
M-070
- Location: Immediately after the exit of the subterranean ruins. Only accessible after helping Tails activate the Death Egg as part of his story quest.
- Reward: Blue Seed, plus some Kocos at the top of the tall spire.
Hit the hourglass to start the Challenge, then race to the top of the tower. You need to hit the goals on top of both spires to complete the Challenge! The route is fairly straightforward; run to the tower and use the spring at the base to get started.
There are some pitfalls and traps throughout the climb, but even if you take a few hits there is plenty of extra time to allow for this.
M-071
- Location: On the island in the northeastern corner of the map. Only accessible at night, after lowering the drawbridge as part of Tails’ quest chain.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Use Cyloop to activate the points of light that appear. Each one activated causes the next to spawn, so you have to do them in order. You can usually see the next light from the previous one’s position, though you may need to jump or look over hilltops and ledges to spot them. Once you’ve activated all the lights, the Challenge will complete.
M-072
- Location: On the northeastern corner of the island with the Yellow Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Blue Seed.
Attack the punching bag to begin the challenge. You need to deal two hundred damage to it within the time limit. Just keep hammering the attack button, and you should be able to handle it with little trouble.
M-073
- Location: Southeast of the Stage 3-1 Portal.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Stand on the triangular pedestal and parry three of the incoming bullets. Remember that you’ll need to release the buttons and set up a new parry between hits!
M-074
- Location: On top of the ruins near the tide pools, west of the first Fortress’s patrol route.
- Reward: Blue Seed
Follow the diagram above to step on each lit tile exactly once, within the time limit.
M-075
- Location: On top of the mountain southeast of the Stage 3-4 Portal.
- Reward: Red Seed.
Stand on the green tile to begin the Challenge. Dodge left and right to hit the tiles as they light up; when you’ve made fifteen correct inputs, you’ll receive your reward.
When you land on the left- or rightmost tile, immediately dodge back toward the center to save time getting to the next lit tile!
M-076
- Location: South of the Stage 3-6 Portal.
- Reward: Blue Seed, plus some Purple Coins near the goal.
Hit the hourglass with Homing Attack to star the timer, then follow the targets up the nearby tower. Halfway up, you’ll need to use a spring to a nearby ruin to continue the course, which eventually leads to the top of the main tower.
M-077
- Location: On the southeast corner of the small island with the Blue Emerald Vault.
- Reward: Red Seed
Look around for a glowing orb that circles the Challenge Marker. Run up to it and hold the attack button, staying near it as it moves. Once the meter fills, the Challenge will complete.
M-078
Location: On the northwestern shore of the main island. You'll be able to see the watchtower on the Red Emerald Vault's island in the distance.
Reward: Blue Seed
Climb into the wheel and run inside it until it’s fully charged to earn your reward.
