Quick Answer

3:00 -> 6:00 -> 10:00 -> 1:00 -> 7:00 -> 12:00 -> 2:00 -> 9:00

Restore the clock before entering the shelf order. If a clock hand is missing, especially the second long clock hand, the visible time clue can be incomplete or misleading.

Clock Hand Locations Checklist

Exact clock hand spawn points can vary by what you have already picked up, and current public material does not verify a permanent location for every hand. Use this route to find missing clock hands without inventing a false location list.

Check areaWhat to inspect
Near the clockThe clock face, table edge, floor edge, and nearby props
Shelf surfacesThin dark or metallic pieces that look like decoration
Corners and low areasLong clock hands can blend into shadows or trim
Recently visited stationA hand may be close to the clue it unlocks
Held item / inventoryConfirm you are not already carrying the missing hand

Second Long Clock Hand

If you are missing the second long clock hand, treat it as a restoration blocker, not an alternate answer. Do another slow sweep around the clock station and nearby furniture before changing the time order.

Signs the second long clock hand is still missing:

  • The clock display does not look complete.
  • The shelf rejects the time order even when you entered the known sequence.
  • The clue station still responds as if an object is missing.
  • A cat hint points back toward the clock or a nearby surface.

How To Solve It

  1. Restore any missing clock hands or clock pieces.
  2. Confirm the clock clue station looks complete.
  3. Read the completed time sequence in order.
  4. Place the potions as: 3:00, 6:00, 10:00, 1:00, 7:00, 12:00, 2:00, 9:00.
  5. If the shelf rejects the answer, recheck whether the clock itself is still missing a hand.

Common Mistake

Do not sort by bottle color or by the physical angle of one visible hand. The shelf answer is the completed time sequence. Missing clock hands must be restored before the clue can be trusted.

FAQ

Where are the clock hand locations?

Use the clock as the anchor and sweep nearby furniture, shelves, corners, and low surfaces. Current verified notes support the missing-hand requirement, but not a fixed exact list for every hand.

Where is the second long clock hand?

There is not enough verified evidence to publish one exact spot. Recheck the clock area, adjacent furniture, low shelves, and any held item before changing the answer order.

What is the clock puzzle order?

The final order is 3:00 -> 6:00 -> 10:00 -> 1:00 -> 7:00 -> 12:00 -> 2:00 -> 9:00.
