Achievements

Achievements, One Page Each

A page per hidden Servant of the Lake achievement with the official clue, the exact trigger, and why a competent playthrough walks straight past most of them.

Last updated 2026-08-18

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

Steam lists 49 achievements. Roughly half unlock on their own as each block of the day ends. The rest are hidden, tied to optional interactions, and vanish along with the block they belong to.

The ones below get their own page because they are the ones people search for by name — usually after finishing a day and realising something did not fire.

Day 1

Day 2

Also on Day 2, with their own puzzle pages: A Perfect Hunt, Pest Control and the coffee.

The three shapes

Once you see these, the rest of the list stops being surprising.

Deliberate failure. Botch the exercises until Aldous is stuck. Let the goat eat the bouquet. Give the champagne to the baby. Scrub the portrait instead of the floor. A clean, competent run misses all of them, which is why most players finish at about half the achievement count.

Wrong target. The obvious interaction works and advances the scene — it is simply not the graded one. The feather on the feet, the green beans on the stove, the key from the hole without the hammer.

Persistence. Same click, ten or twenty times, no feedback until it fires. Petting the horse, chasing the crow, dusting past the third painting, the Day 3 chandelier rope.

Everything in order

The complete list, including the story achievements that cannot be missed, is on the triggers page in the order you reach them. For a single-run plan see 100% completion, and for the last achievement of all, the post-credits route.

About six of the 49 are still undocumented anywhere, leaving roughly 43 accounted for — the remainder sit in Day 3's later blocks. That figure moved on 16 August when a third round of community guides filled in most of Day 3; it is an estimate, not a count we can verify. If you have the missing ones, send them over.

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.

  • How many of the 49 achievements are still undocumented. About six, leaving roughly 43 accounted for — the figure was thirteen until a third round of community guides on 16 August filled in most of Day 3. It is an estimate from counting what the guides cover, not a number anyone has published.

In this section

Soothing the Baby

Soothing the Baby wants the champagne given to the infant James before William gets it. Where the bottle is, and why a polite playthrough misses it.

Deep Cleaning

Deep Cleaning is not about the floors. Scrub the family portrait in the kitchen — the clue points at the drawing, not the job you were given.

Close Inspection

Close Inspection is the bathroom keyhole on the second floor. Look through it before you help with the bath — once the scene moves on, the chance is gone.

The coachman waiting outside the Vanderboom estate with the horse and carriage

Petting the Horse

Petting the Horse needs many clicks, including on its glasses, and all of them before the carrot. One click does nothing, which is why it looks broken.

The estate entrance hall with the staircase, the maid and Rustie the cat on a pink armchair

Feeding the Cat

Feeding the Cat is an order problem, not a discovery one. Rustie takes the milk first and the dead mouse second — reverse it and the achievement is gone.

The attic at night with a crow at the window and a brass box marked with alchemical symbols

Chasing the Crow

The crow is not at the attic window when you arrive. Move in and out of the containers until it appears, then click it — the clue skips that step.

Small Repairs

Small Repairs is a counting problem. The clue says there are more than three paintings — keep dusting past the obvious ones until you find the one that matters.

Tickling Mr. William

The feather goes on William's face, not his feet. Tickle until he tells you to stop — the obvious target is the one that does not count at all.

Serving Match Latte

The green powder from the basket goes into Alexandra's tea. The clue points at the cat rather than at her, which is why it reads as a non-sequitur.
