Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints

What am I supposed to do with the birdhouses?

  • 1 of 13: The puzzles in Argannas can be divided into basically two categories.  The first would be the several puzzles that you will encounter, which consist of a grid of golden buttons that need to be pressed in a certain order, to continually open up new areas of Argannas.
  • 2 of 13: The second has to do with the various parts of a major puzzle in the center of town, near where you first arrived.
  • 3 of 13: The birdhouses play a significant role in the latter.
  • 4 of 13: Do you remember Sanselard, and how the tower puzzles were sound related?
  • 5 of 13: Argannas, also, has sound-related puzzles -- and some of the sound clues are related to the birdhouses.
  • 6 of 13: Some -- but not all -- of the birdhouses have a kind of pushbutton located low on the pole.
  • 7 of 13: Pressing that button generates a bird call.
  • 8 of 13: Some -- but not all -- of the birdhouses have a kind of plaque on them, showing four differently shaped symbols.
  • 9 of 13: Make careful note of the size and shape of each of the birdhouses...
  • 10 of 13: ... as well as the pedestals on which they stand...
  • 11 of 13: ... along with any that make sounds (and what kind of sound that they make)...
  • 12 of 13: ... and any that contain plaques with shapes (and which shapes are on each plaque).
  • 13 of 13: All of this information will be needed to solve the primary puzzle in Argannas, and retrieve the Argannas crystal.
