Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints

What do I do with the apparatus at the top of each of the four sets of stairs?

  • 1 of 15: Did you notice the apparatus at the top of each set of stairs?  Each button, when pressed, makes a horn-like sound. 
  • 2 of 15: You need to play some horn-sounds on each apparatus.  The trick is in knowing which horn-sounds, in which order.  All the clues to figuring out the order are here, in Maru.
  • 3 of 15: You will need to explore a little to gather clues from nearby areas.  Be sure to use the elevators and explore the other levels as well.
  • 4 of 15: You should have found six posts, each with a colored light on top.
  • 5 of 15: Each of the posts has a different colored light and each makes a different sound when you move the lever.
  • 6 of 15: Listen carefully.  Keep notes on the individual colors and a description of each matching sound.
  • 7 of 15: Okay, now that you have a list of colors and matching sounds, look around some more for a hint as to how to decide which horns you should use (and their order) for the apparatus at the top of each set of stairs.
  • 8 of 15: Look at the top of the post for each apparatus.  Notice the direction each loud-speaker is pointing?
  • 9 of 15: Did you notice the telescopes under the platforms near each apparatus?
  • 10 of 15: Each of the four telescopes is can be pointed towards a floating structure in the distance.  By studying each of the four structures through the telescopes, you should be able to put together the remaining clues.
  • 11 of 15: Each structure has a light near the bottom of it, which flashes a pattern of different colors.  Make note of each group of colors and their order.  There will be a slightly larger pause between colors to mark when the set of colors begins.
  • 12 of 15: You should now have gathered enough information to solve the puzzle.  Once you have obtained a set of colors by looking through a telescope, go to the apparatus up the stairs closest to that telescope. 
  • 13 of 15: Next, using the list of colors and matching sounds, convert the set of colors into a set of sounds, keeping the same order.
  • 14 of 15: Finally, enter the sounds (in the same order) onto the apparatus at the top of the stairs.
  • 15 of 15: Make sure to do the same for each apparatus (there are four of them).
