How to align star sensors by damaging them in the correct order explained

It can feel a little random at first when starting this stage of the challenge, but there's actually a picture system in place to help you align the sensors in the correct order.

Each of the five star sensors around this circular cosmic monitor in the middle has their own symbol printed on it. The white exclamation mark on your map isn't showing you where to hit first, it's actually displaying the correct symbol you need to damage next.

So to damage the star sensors in the correct order, look at what symbol is displayed on the monitor in the middle, then go and hit the sensor with the same symbol on it.

Keep in mind that you have to use your pickaxe to damage each sensor, so you can't just stay in the same place and shoot at them.

Now that you know how to align the star sensors in the correct order, you might want to complete the challenge yourself. However, if you're in a rush, we've got the exact solution detailed below.
