The whole encounter with turrets was quite disappointing to me, because there does not seem to be any logical or intellectual way of dealing with the defenses. You either:

  • Abuse their line of sight by hiding behind an object and shooting them because their projectiles have big hitboxes and cannot hit you
  • Use Invisibility on one companion to bypass all of them
  • Use meta knowledge from previous playthroughs to go around them by jumping on mushrooms to the bottom of the tower to disable them

As a final experiment I thought that wearing Myrna's collar would make them friendly, but even that is not the case, which was incredibly disappointing. So far I don't think the encounter is properly finished and I feel that the dog collar should play a bigger role in going through the defenses.
