Shelve the Potions Solitaire Puzzle Solution and Card Order
Quick answer
Solitaire order: Red King -> Black Jack -> Black King -> Black Ace -> Red Queen -> Black Queen -> Red Jack -> Red Ace. Keep color and rank paired exactly as shown.
Quick Answer
Red King -> Black Jack -> Black King -> Black Ace -> Red Queen -> Black Queen -> Red Jack -> Red Ace
Use the solitaire card clue as a sequence. Do not group all red cards together, all black cards together, or sort by normal card rank.
Solitaire Card Order
| Position | Card |
|---|---|
| 1 | Red King |
| 2 | Black Jack |
| 3 | Black King |
| 4 | Black Ace |
| 5 | Red Queen |
| 6 | Black Queen |
| 7 | Red Jack |
| 8 | Red Ace |
The important part is preserving the exact pair: color plus card rank. A Black Jack bottle is not interchangeable with Red Jack, and Red King does not mean all red cards should come first.
How To Solve It
- Restore the solitaire or card clue station if it is missing any visible object.
- Read the card clue in the shown sequence.
- Match each potion label to the card color and rank.
- Place the bottles in the exact order from the table above.
- If the shelf rejects, recheck the color/rank pairing before changing the sequence.
If The Solitaire Puzzle Rejects
Run these checks before assuming the answer changed:
- Confirm you are on the solitaire shelf, not another card-like clue.
- Check Black Jack versus Red Jack.
- Check Black King versus Red King.
- Check Black Ace versus Red Ace.
- Re-read the clue direction; do not reverse the order.
- Make sure the station is restored before entering the bottle order.
Location And Requirement
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Solitaire/card clue station and matching shelf |
| Requirement | Use the completed card clue sequence |
| Reward | The shelf accepts and the room progress can continue |
Common Mistake
The solitaire puzzle is not asking for poker strength, blackjack value, suit grouping, or red-before-black sorting. It is a copied clue sequence.
