Guide details
Before you begin
Use the bird station to expose the hidden numbers on the five matching bottles, then shelve them from 1 to 5 instead of guessing by shape or color.
The five-bottle bird or crow-labelled puzzle, the reveal interaction, ascending order, and the checks to repeat when a number did not reveal or the shelf did not register.

- Check note
- The Steam Community guide and two launch-week guides agree that the bird reveals numbers and the accepted order is lowest to highest, 1 through 5.
Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Collect the five bottles carrying the matching bird or crow mark.
- Locate the bird clue station before committing to a shelf order.
- Keep unrelated numbered and plain color bottles out of this five-bottle set.
Visual reference
The crow bottles use a revealed 1-to-5 order#
Route 02
Reveal and sort every crow bottle#
Separate the matching bird labels#
Gather the five bottles carrying the matching bird label so the documented 1-through-5 row stays separate from other clue sets.
Take each matching bottle to the bird#
Use the clue station on every bottle so its hidden number becomes readable. Repeat the interaction if one label still has no number.
Build the ascending row#
Place the revealed bottles from left to right in the order 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5.
Compare the finished row#
After the fifth bottle, compare the visible numbers with the documented 1-through-5 order. Recheck any label whose value is still hidden.
Margin corrections
Keep the documented numeric method clear#
Sorting by bottle size
Bottle size is not needed for this documented route. Sort the bird set by the number revealed at the clue station.
Reading the bird silhouette as a direction
Use the bird mark to identify the matching clue station. The sourced solve itself is the revealed numeric order.
Leaving one value unrevealed
Reveal all five numbers before arranging the row so every placement follows a visible value rather than a guess.
Field questions
Crow bottle puzzle questions#
- Is the crow order random?
- The documented solution is numeric: reveal the labels and place the five bottles from 1 through 5.
- Do bottle color and liquid level matter?
- They are not needed for the documented solution. Use the numbers revealed by the bird clue station.
- Why did 1 through 5 not register?
- Confirm every bottle belongs to the matching bird set and that every hidden number was actually revealed.
