Shelve the Potions! Beginner Guide
Quick answer
Start by reading the room, restoring missing clue pieces, then sorting only after the clue gives a rule.
Quick Answer
Read the room before moving bottles: inspect notes, restore missing objects, use the clue station, then place potions only when the order can be explained. There is no timer, so rechecking is better than guessing.
First Run Checklist
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Active room, shelf, and nearby clue station |
| Requirement | Restore the clue object before sorting bottles |
| Next action | Place bottles only after the station explains the order |
- Walk the whole room and identify the shelf you are solving.
- Pick up missing clue pieces such as books, flowers, clock parts, powders, or chess pieces.
- Return those pieces to their matching display.
- Translate the display into an order, then sort the bottles.
- Use cat hints when a shelf still has no visible rule after a full scan.
Beginner Mistakes
Do not sort every shelf by color. Many puzzles use numbers, symbols, directions, petals, cards, weather clues, or object size.
