Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints
How do I solve the puzzle with the bells?
1 of 17: After solving the puzzle with the cranks in the church, the puzzle of the bells should be a "piece of cake".
2 of 17: Use the same logic as in the earlier puzzle -- locate similar sounds, and try to find the glyphs, and their order, to be used on the next "golden puzzle grid".
3 of 17: This puzzle is randomly generated each time you play a new game, so there is no single solution. The following hints provide information on the process of solving the puzzle, regardless of the final solution.
4 of 17: How many bells are there?
5 of 17: There are seven -- three down the left side of the street (facing the way you would normally enter the street), and four on the right side. Experiment with the bells.
6 of 17: As you did with the cranks, see if you can tell how many different features are related to each bell.
7 of 17: Each one makes a distinct sound when clicked on, so again be sure that your sound is turned up enough to solve this puzzle. (You may also wish to turn off the music background, if you feel that it is interfering with your detection of each bell's sound.)
8 of 17: Also, each one clearly has a glyph on it, similar to the glyphs on the golden puzzles, and on the posts in the church.
9 of 17: If you check out each of the seven bells, you should be able to quickly identify which ones are similar.
10 of 17: But what about the ordering -- even knowing the correct bells (and glyphs) to use, which order would they come in?
11 of 17: With the cranks, the unique feature was the number of sides on each post. What unique feature can you find about each bell?
12 of 17: How are they hanging?
13 of 17: Each bell hangs from a rope...
14 of 17: ... but all ropes are not created equal, just as all posts are not created equal.
15 of 17: In this case, each rope has a number of knots in it.
16 of 17: And each rope has a different number of knots.
17 of 17: Use the knots as an indicator (in increasing order) of the order of the bells -- and, hence, the order of the glyphs to enter on the next golden puzzle grid.
