Wand & Order Archives Guide
Quick answer
Zone 1 route for tarot sorting, Major Arcana, cleaning, and missing cards.
The Archives are Zone 1 and contain roughly 470 items according to Steam. The fastest reliable approach is to reduce the room into card families before worrying about exact shelf order.
Archives route
- Separate Major Arcana from Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles.
- Inside each family, separate visually different deck treatments before placing cards.
- Build one confirmed row and use it as the reference for the rest of that deck.
- Work one suit or treatment to completion instead of switching whenever you find a nearby card.
- Use Vision to locate remaining members of a known set and Magnetic Vacuum after holding a matching card.
- Finish the room's cleaning tasks and run a final shelf-gap check.
Important Hotfix 1.1 warning
Hotfix 1.1 changed Major Arcana grouping, colors, item names, and Zone 1 guidance. If a video or screenshot predates Sep 24, 2026, use its search route cautiously and verify its color/group rule in the current build.
Archives checklist
Final sweep
Check the second room, the floor beside cabinets, shelf ends, furniture edges, and any space hidden by an open door or pile. Then inspect the progress display: a remaining cleaning task can look like a missing-card problem.
