What to look at first
This is a clue-reading puzzle, not a speed challenge. The official store confirms that shelves can depend on hidden clues, special items, or information learned elsewhere in the workshop, so inspect the surrounding space before committing to an order.
Spoiler level 1
Hint
Do not sort the visible bottles immediately. First look around the workshop for pieces that belong to the clock setup, return them, and then read the completed times.
Spoiler level 2
The sorting rule
Treat each restored time as part of the shelf sequence. The available evidence does not support ordinary numerical or clockwise sorting, so record the displayed times before moving bottles.
Step by step
Work through the clue
- 01
Find the missing pieces
Search nearby shelves and clue areas before changing the clock shelf.
- 02
Restore the clock
Put the displaced clock pieces back so every required time can be read.
- 03
Write down the times
Capture the complete sequence before moving potions; guessing while sorting makes errors harder to spot.
- 04
Check the proposed order
Reveal the sequence below only after you have tried to derive the rule yourself.

3:00 → 6:00 → 10:00 → 1:00 → 7:00 → 12:00 → 2:00 → 9:00
Community-guide lead only. We have not reproduced this eight-time order in the release build, so use it as a check rather than a guaranteed answer.
Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
- Assuming the bottles simply run from the earliest time to the latest.
- Trying to finish the shelf before every missing clock piece is restored.
- Treating the provisional community sequence as release-build verified.
In-game fallback
When to use the cat hint
If the missing object or clue still is not clear, pet a magical cat and ask for help. The game can point to missing potions, highlight clue objects, or reveal part of a solution without adding a timer or penalty.
