Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints
Is there any hint for making this any shorter?
1 of 9: About the only thing you can do to make it shorter is to reduce the number of trips back and forth to the elevator.
2 of 9: And about the only way to do that is to take a gamble on the elevator handles, and try to do more than one at a time.
3 of 9: For example, each time you go to a different level in the elevator, push TWO handles down. That will give you a 50% chance that the grate you need to lower to get onto that platform will be down.
4 of 9: (And if it isn't, it's still only one trip back to the elevator -- raise those two handles, and lower the other two.)
5 of 9: But you'll still run into a problem once you're onto a new, lower platform.
6 of 9: Because now, you lowered TWO handles to get ONE grate to go down. And that may -- or may not -- have lowered the other grate that will lead you OFF of this new platform, and down another level.
7 of 9: If you were really fortunate -- and the two handles you chose were exactly the two you needed (to get onto, and then leave from, the new platform) -- you've accomplished the entire level in one trip to the elevator.
8 of 9: In the worst case, you should be able to lower the "entry" grate (the one that allows you access to the full platform at the new level) in two trips to the elevator. Then it could take as much as two more trips to determine the second handle to lower. Still, this is no worse than doing the handles one at a time.
9 of 9: One other thing to do, to maximize this shortcut even further -- once you go back to the elevator, don't just go down to level '4' (or level '3', or wherever you are at the moment) and reset the handles there. Stay in the elevator, and go down one floor at a time, and randomly lower two handles AT EACH LEVEL. This will eliminate that first trip back to the elevator from each new level, thereby reducing the "back-and-forth" between the top level and the new level.
