Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints
What do I do at all of the machinery towers?
1 of 25: What CAN you do?
2 of 25: The circular spring-pad at the center of each machinery tower's base is active.
3 of 25: What happens when you click on it?
4 of 25: Be sure and have your sound turned up when you click on it.
5 of 25: A sound -- or, rather, several sounds -- are heard.
6 of 25: Explore all of the machinery towers.
7 of 25: Make careful notes regarding the sounds that you hear.
8 of 25: The machinery towers are obviously involved in some kind of sound-related puzzle. (If you are tone deaf, or don't have working speakers, you will not be able to solve the puzzles in Sanselard. You'll either need to just go through these hints, or find some way to enable the audio on your system.)
9 of 25: For starters, try to find a way to define the sounds that each machinery tower makes.
10 of 25: It is very difficult to refer to individual machinery towers. It may be helpful to draw a map of Sanselard as you go.
11 of 25: There are a limited number of sounds that the eight machinery towers make.
12 of 25: How many sounds do you hear at each machinery tower?
13 of 25: Each tower generates two distinct sounds.
14 of 25: There are a total of four different sounds made by all of the machinery towers.
15 of 25: Since it is impossible to identify a sound in a text file, we will try to describe the four sounds.
16 of 25: One sound is very like the wind blowing on a cold, gusty day.
17 of 25: Another sounds like a strange Morse code of some kind.
18 of 25: A third sound is almost like electric static.
19 of 25: And the fourth sound is reminiscent of sleigh bells being struck twice.
20 of 25: As you explore the eight machinery towers, make note of which two of the four sounds is emitted by each, and in which order.
21 of 25: The machinery towers are obviously not puzzles unto themselves. They must be part of something larger.
22 of 25: You'll need to explore ALL of the towers in Sanselard -- the machinery towers, the light towers, and the "stands" -- before you will be able to make some intuitive correlations.
23 of 25: One of the things you should have noticed is that, while each of the machinery towers emits a two-sound pair, so do each of the "stands".
24 of 25: If you can keep track of all of the stands, and all of the machinery towers, you should be able to make a correlation between them.
25 of 25: In a similar vein, there is something else you can use to correlate the machinery towers with the light towers.
