Return with the crystal back to the sink. There are no hydrogranums nearby, so you will have to act differently. If you used the game tutorial, you should know that the giant shells can open if you hit them. Perform several blows and then break the stone inside the sink. It will rain, the crystals will activate, and a precious chest and several small slimes will appear nearby.
