Servant of the Lake Day 1 Friday Walkthrough

Servant of the Lake Day 1 is Friday at the Vanderboom estate: you arrive as the new servant, cook for Aldous, welcome Alexandra and baby James, serve the reunion, walk a night watch, and steal an attic scroll for William. This page is the verified premium route. The free Demo walkthrough still matches the opening morning; everything after the first guest carriage is full-game only.

Use the weekend checklist to tick chapters. Isolated numbers live on full-game codes. Optional trophies sit on achievements.

The Arrival

Open the coach curtains. Pull a carrot from the right flower bed and feed the horse. Take tin cups from the coach door and the left window, then open the right window. Arrange five cups by stripe count 1–5 left to right; the lidded cup yields a coin. Click the horse head a few times after feeding it for Petting the Horse.

Pay the driver, take the iron bar, pry the outlined plank, take the key, and enter. Speak with maid Kate, dip the quill, and sign the contract.

Servant of the Lake morning and estate playthrough

Preparing Breakfast

Left door: logs, oats, stove note. Load logs. Through the far rooms, take milk from the crate. Feed milk to the armchair cat before you pick up the dead mouse for Feeding the Cat. Take the upstairs pot, slide the cupboard, take the mouse, feed the cat, collect matches. Light the stove, cook milk and oats, take the pot. Kate then opens Aldous’s door.

Waking Up Aldous

Take the bowl, note, both slippers, and the middle-drawer spoon. Solve the silver box by rotating coloured blocks onto matching patterns; take the razor. Fit the soldier’s clock hand and set 7:00. Open curtains, shave, collect the earlobe, clean blood. Feed the earlobe to the window crow for a key, unlock berries, pour porridge and berries, block insect holes until you can squash the bug, then spoon-feed Aldous. Mirror the soldier: Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Down. Dress him, then click the arriving carriage. Click him wrongly until he sticks, then unstick him, for Exercising with Mr. Aldous. Details: Aldous morning.

Preparing the Reception

Clean dirt in the hall, servant room, and far corridor. Speak with Kate for the duster. Dust portraits: Alexandra 2, William 3, Aldous 4. Enter 243 on the cupboard box for a candle. Dust the servant-room frame until it breaks, then rebuild it for Small Repairs. Place remaining candles on the chandelier and light in arrow order: third from left, far left, third from right, second from left, far right, second from right.

Welcoming the Guests

Take the jug. Rearrange the bouquet so white flowers climb the left, pink balls climb the right, and green stems sit centre by leaf count. Feed the bouquet to the goat before milking for Ruining the Bouquet. Milk the goat, take the hoof-hole key, open the letter box, take letter and tablet. Herd cockroaches into the hole with the token (reset arrow if stuck). Place tablets House–Cupboard–Vial–Droplet over Tree–Nest–Egg–Bird, raise the flag, help Alexandra out. Suitcase code 374 is under the baby basket. Pack clothes without overlap, pay the driver, feed the horse the bill.

Serving Tea

Do not click the cat first if you want Serving Matcha Latte. Take Kate’s tea, kettle, and cupboard cup. Feed tea leaves to the cat, make it vomit, take the sticky goo and the crate’s green substance. Give Alexandra cup, optional green goo, sugar, hot water, tea, milk. She drops it. Rebuild the cup with goo. Serve again: milk, sugar twice, tea.

Opening the Reunion

Light the fireplace. Wine box date 1753. Give Aldous wine; optionally wine the baby for Soothing the Baby. William arrives; rebuild the broken bottle for the nine-button cigar path (top-left, top-middle, centre, right-middle, bottom-middle, bottom-right). Light the cigar, push it in, steer the saliva drop with his teeth, take the spoon. Fish painting order: timepiece, book, elixir, fish; cook the fish. Bloom the protein plant with the fly-arrow routes, collect eggs, make fish toast, feed all three siblings, tap Aldous’s glass. Follow Alexandra’s lullaby clicks, then wake William by clicking hat, ear, and shirt as he looks.

Night Watch and Attic

Kate sends you on patrols. Ring the bell for strangeness (bloody crate cat, stair silhouette, smeared Alexandra, slipped William, closing door). Blow a candle only on a clean run. Check the garden door each loop for Checking for Intruders. William gives a walking stick for the ceiling hatch.

Attic: take a rung and statue. Sort the collection box by type. Scare the window crow for Chase away the Crow. Light the lantern, solve the poem statue order, unlock the purse statue, set window-box constellations from cloud positions (house down twice, moon down three, water up once), then seat golden-case animals butterfly, bird, monkey, fish, ibex. Take scroll and rung, finish the ladder, slide the door. Continue on Day 2.
