SPOILER Outer Wilds - Echoes of the Eye - How to easy Starlit Cove with least amount of information
ATTENTION:
The devs released several updates since I uploaded this video.
At 7:32 you'll see a different courtyard in your game. When there, just go straight ahead and take the stairs to enter the dining hall. Nothing changes for the overall route.
Later in the Starlight Cove some of the doors are locked, to open them just blow the candles next to them out.

SPOILER - Explanation:
The dam breaks, its water floods the graves in the first section immediately, deleting the guardians there in their corresponding dream world section, and the tower (the real one) in the second section falls into the water shortly before the loop ends, deleting the guardians there. You would be kicked out of the simulation too, if you dont enter in the third section, Hidden Gorge. After the guardians are gone, you get enough time to watch the error reel, giving you further information you need.
