In Coral Island, there is a Music Puzzle that can be found in the ocean by diving. Diving is introduced early in the game, just a few days in. After cleaning up a few ocean sections, Ling will explain how you’re cleaning up the ocean and give you free rein to explore. In the first major section, there is a large clam statue with five buttons in front of it that play music when you step on them. There isn’t a hint near the music claw and playing different melodies doesn’t have any effect. While this might seem like a puzzle you need to solve, the answer is disappointing.
There Isn’t a Solution to the Music Puzzle in Coral Island
At the moment, the Coral Island music puzzle isn’t a puzzle at all. This landmark, which isn’t labeled on the map, appears to just be a statue that plays music. There currently isn’t a solution to it and it doesn’t need to be interacted with to advance the ocean clean-up story. Fans have speculated that it could be for a puzzle that is coming in a later update.
As it stands, Stairway Games hasn’t said if this is planned for a future update, so there are two possible answers here. One is that fans are right and this puzzle just hasn’t been implemented yet. It could be added in a future update, but considering that Coral Island just hit version 1.0, the other possibility seems more likely.
That possibility is that this isn’t tied to a puzzle at all, current or future. Instead, its just there to tease the Merfolk that you discover after finishing the first major clean-up area. That’s not the most exciting answer, but it seems likely given that it wasn’t updated in version 1.0.
Coral Island is available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
