The Bathing Tiles

The Servant of the Lake bathing tiles: which targets to select, why sources split on four picks or five, and why to write the set down before you move on.

Last updated 2026-08-18

Light spoilers. This page names rooms, items and characters you meet, but keeps the story beats out of it.

Select Alexandra, the bathroom, the bathtub, the suitcase and the hand.

Sources disagree on whether this is four picks or five: one lists the bathroom and the bathtub separately, the others merge them. Work from what your grid actually offers — the set is otherwise identical.

Write that set down before you move on. The same set is re-entered during the post-credits secret, and getting it wrong there means walking all three days again to find them.

The bathing tiles: one source lists four tiles and another lists five, differing on whether bathroom and bathtub are separate

The tile selection

You are shown a grid and asked to pick from it. The targets are:

  • Alexandra
  • the bathroom
  • the bathtub
  • the suitcase
  • the severed hand

Whether that counts as five picks or four is exactly where the two sources part company — one treats the bathroom and the bathtub as separate targets, the other as one. Nothing else differs, so the practical instruction is the same: select what the grid in front of you offers, and record what you selected.

There is no order requirement reported for this one — it is a set, not a sequence.

The window panes are a different puzzle

Careful here, because the two get conflated in search results.

After Alexandra is in the bath there is a second interaction at the window, where you click glass panes in an order drawn from notes you picked up earlier in the house. That is not the tile grid above.

We do not have the pane order from a source we can verify, so it is not published here. What we can tell you is that the clue is in your notebook, not in the room.

The window is also where the Cleaning the Windows achievement lives — wipe it once Alexandra is in the bath. Official clue: "Something else needs to be cleaned. The windows are a little foggy."

Before the bath: the keyhole

Close Inspection is a hidden achievement in this same block and it is easy to walk past. Before you go in, look through the keyhole of the second-floor bathroom door.

"You don't need a key to see inside. Who is in the bathroom?"

Why the tiles come back

The post-credits achievement "You've found him!" replays a specific answer from each day, and the Day 2 entry is this exact tile set. The other values it wants — the clock at 4:05, the alchemy sequence, the attic stars — are collected on the all codes page, and the full route is on its own page.

Where this sits

Day 2 Evening. Full day on the Day 2 walkthrough; the night block that follows ends at the mouse in the cellar wall.

Still to be confirmed

We could not verify the following against more than one source, so we have left it out rather than guess. This page is updated as confirmations come in.

  • The window-pane order. One source describes six panes clicked in an order taken from earlier notes, but does not give the order itself.
  • Whether the selection is four picks or five. One source separates the bathroom from the bathtub; another merges them. The set is otherwise identical, so work from the grid in front of you.
