[rec.games.misc] Shadowgate for the Mac

caron@topaz.rutgers.edu (Lizard) (11/18/87)

I have been playing Shadowgate(TM) and have gotten to the point
where I have the 2 keys, the arrow, the spear, the sword, the hammer, the
sling, the torch that burns green, the gold, the sceptor, the
helmet, and the shield.  I am presently in the room with the
mirrors and have broken the middle one.  And this is where I have
been for about 2 days.  What can I do now?  Has anyone gotten beyond
this point?  Is there a way to get to the staircase in the room
beyond the lake?  In the room where you get the arrow, how can you
climb into the window?  In the room before the dragon is there anyway
to climb into the trap door without dying?  This game is very, very
frustrating.  Is there anything I should try?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanxs in advance,
Ray Caron

In response to your questions:

>Has anyone gotten beyond
this point?
Yes, it is possible; I have the hand of the king's daughter to prove it. (Makes
my wife a bit jealous though. :-)

>Is there a way to get to the staircase in the room
beyond the lake?
Yes, but it's quite complex, and you don't need to. However, you do need to get
into the room behind the waterfall.

> In the room where you get the arrow, how can you
climb into the window?

You can't.


>In the room before the dragon is there anyway
et climb into the trap door without dying?
I don't think so; I never did.

Re: opening the middle door, you say you have two keys and presumably you've
tried them both. Did you get the key from the skeleton in the lake? And have
you been into the room behind the waterfall?

Chin up; it is a great game as long as you can keep making bits of progress.
Ask questions and I'll see if I can answer; I wasn't able to solve it without
the help of people on GENie.
