How to find out correct switch pattern of Endless Archive puzzle?

There're similar puzzle game like the Graven-Deep group dungeon in the EA.
I...don't like that. Couldn't find out solution.
Please anybody who know the mech of it explain here. (-_-)

When solo I usually just look for the switch that gets rid of the first tentacles, and then I just hit the rest in any order. Sometimes work, I honestly don't find these games to be fun but at least it's doable this way

I don't find the games to be particularly fun but I do find them to be easy.

I walk up and down the line of switches, without hitting any yet, and just see which glowing areas light up. It seems like most of the time there's a switch you can skip.

So then I walk back to the beginning, remembering which switch I can skip, and just hit them all as fast as I can. Go in the order of closest to furthest-- meaning the areas that uncover. Then I just press a skill that gives me major expedition and sprint through. That's literally all there is to it.

One final tip... So the toon I'm on (just farming the first 3 arcs solo, not scorepushing yet,) is an Oakensoul Warden using dual wield. My skill bar, though I occasionally change it up depending on visions/verses, is basically Spin to Win, Resolving Vigor, Arctic Blast, Sub Assault, and Rending Slashes with Dawnbreaker as an ultimate.

When I play this mini-game, before I even look at the switches, I take 5 seconds to replace Vigor with Deceptive Predator. For non-wardens I'm sure Race Against Time would work the same. Then when you're done you switch right back -shrug-

When you stand close to a button, a section of the area in front of you will be outlined in white. The outline indicates that hitting that button will lower the tentacles and allow you to cross that area.

You need to hit the buttons in the right order to make a path across, with the first button lowering the tentacles closest to you, the next button lowering the tentacles adjacent to the ones you just lowered, and so on.

Once you've figured out the correct sequence, hit the buttons quickly in the right order and sprint across. The tentacles will come back after a short time after you've hit a button--that's why you need to hit them in the correct order.

There are multiple patterns, so I can't just give you the order to hit the buttons in.

I find it easiest to mentally label the buttons 1 through 6 from left to right and make notes to myself in /zone or /say. Sorcerers can use Bolt Escape to skip the last bit of the path.
