How To Solve It

Watch the compass sequence and copy the directions exactly; avoid rotating it into normal clockwise order.

Location And Requirement

RequirementRestore the missing clue objects before placing the bottles
RewardThe shelf accepts and the room progress can continue
  1. Restore any missing clue objects before sorting the shelf.
  2. Read the completed clue display from left to right or in the sequence it shows.
  3. Match each potion to that sequence and place the bottles in the same order.
  4. If the shelf rejects the answer, recheck whether one potion belongs to a different clue set.

Common Mistake

The puzzle is not asking for a generic color, size, or shape sort unless the clue explicitly says so. Finish the room clue first, then use the answer order above.
