It's me again. With a little help from people on the net, and a lot of
collaborative thinking with a friend, I've gotten to the point where I think
I need to open the door next to the well (in the room past the gargoyles).
Where is the key to unlock this door?

Thanks for everyone who responded. Maybe I should be more clear next time.
I've already made it to the warlord, and get fried by him. I figured that I
might not have everything I need which is why I asked about the door near the
well. A better question would have been, I've got the orb and spike/staff
combo, I'm attacking the warlock and he fries me, what gives? The shield and
cloak don't seem to help either.
I'd send out more direct inquires, but I'm sick and have been sick for days,
so this is easier. Hints would be more appreciated than anything else.
Thanks in advance.

A while ago someone posted here about how to get into the
secret room beyong the avalanche, up those stairs, in Shadowgate.
The methid suggested was complicated... I've forgotten it now.
I tried it at the time, and couldn't get it to work.
Whoever posted the hint also offered to mail a Save file of the
game all set up to go up there to anyone who asked.
Now I have mailed that address and have had no reply.
My question: Have I been duped? Is there really no such secret room?
Or has there been a mail stuff up and whoever it was
never received my request? They both seem likely.
I have lost the address, so if someone could mail me about it at:
malryan@runxtsa.runx.oz
Thanx in advance. Malcolm Ryanmike@simon.sa.co.umist.ac.uk (Mike Reddy) (03/01/91)

No you haven't, yes there is! >I have lost the address, so if someone could mail me about it at: >malryan@runxtsa.runx.oz I received a binhexed version of the saved game from the person concerned quite quickly! I'd have to go away to find the relevant email address though. Perhaps if the person concerned is watching, a copy could be posted to comp.binaries.mac? So long as you fiddle around with the bottle enough (it has to be on the second step visible in the crack) and follow the instructions to the letter, you cannot go wrong: 1) Position bottle with lid closed (it comes open initially I think) 2)load sling with stone (there are loads here) unless already loaded, 3) OPERATE lit torch on bottle (you should get a message saying the bottle does not burn) 4) OPERATE sling on bottle. If you have positioned the bottle correctly, there will be a bang and you can enter a room with some objects in it As an aside, do these help with the game at all? Secondly, there was a rumour of another secret room somewhere. Can anyone confirm this, and tell me how to get access. -- Mike Reddy, inventor of the famous recursive footnote[1] mike@umist.computation.suna / m.reddy@umist [1] Famous Recursive Footnote (See Footnote [1]).

Is it the bottle found in the globe? I tried it to no avail. If it is that bottle, then I merely must not be putting it the precise spot. Anyway, I don't think any extra items are crucial to solving the game, since most people solved the game without them. -Tony Chen adchen@phoenix.princeton.edu
