Servant of the Lake alchemy recipe guide
Make oil, acid, blood, juice, and the final elixir in the correct order.
Last verified 29 Oct 2026Source-backed
Quick answer
The official elixir recipe is one egg, one juice, one acid, one oil, then three blood. Grind the fruit with four lever pulls to make juice; that is separate from the one-juice recipe quantity.
Focused walkthrough
5 steps for this task
- 01Make oil before acid.At the strange device, use two left pulls and three middle pulls for oil. Fill a clean flask, then use four right pulls and one left pull for acid. Starting with oil keeps the material order clear; add both new symbols to the board.
- 02Make blood.Update to 1.6.3 and target Aldous's glass itself when pouring acid; the official hotfix increased that glass hitbox. Then put the meat into the grinder with an empty flask below. The official walkthrough says to pull the lever four times to obtain blood.
- 03Make juice.Add four drops of water and one drop of blood to the flower pot, collect the strange fruit, then grind it. The official walkthrough says to pull the grinder lever four times; that count is separate from the amount used in the recipe.
- 04Brew the elixir.Missable orderThe official recipe is one egg, one juice, one acid, one oil, and three blood, in that order. One third-party guide instead reports four drops of juice; this conflict has not been replay-tested.
- 05Test and deliver it.Optional achievementPut one drop of finished elixir in the parrot's water bowl for the optional Animal Testing achievement, then give the completed elixir to Aldous.
