It will move up, move back down. It will fire. Move center to avoid and line up your shot and start firing. The Sentinal *always* comes down at the same place, so note that point and line it up there. You'll have a short time to fire shots into it's maw, at which point the pattern repeats. Sometimes it can take 10-20 repititions before you do enough damage to destroy it. The second sentinel has a pattern too, but I haven't beaten it yet. Then hurray hurrah howdy doodie do, you made it through stage ONE. I doubt I'll ever finish the game.
