Best Order To Use This Page
- Identify the shelf by its nearby clue station.
- Restore missing objects first, because several answers only become readable after the station is complete.
- Copy the quick answer exactly.
- If the shelf rejects, use the detailed guide linked from the puzzle page and recheck the clue object.
How To View Solved Sequences
Use the in-game sequence view when you need to recheck an order you already solved. Press ESC to review solved sequences, or hold a potion and press TAB to show the solved sequence for that potion set.
Treat this as a quick replay aid, not a replacement for missing clue objects. If the set-specific view does not explain the shelf, return the nearby clue item first, then compare the sequence again.
Moon Phase Shelf Error Checks
If the moon shelf rejects an order, do not publish or guess a fixed moon sequence. Treat it as a clue-station problem first:
- Check the orange moon / phase clue display for a missing moon clue object.
- Complete the moon or phase clue station before reading the sequence.
- Copy the displayed sequence only after the station looks complete.
- If the shelf still rejects the order, recheck whether the station is incomplete before changing the answer.
