I am stuck in ShadowGate in that I have all the elements to make the staff and get to the warlord, howvever, cannot figure out how to clear the landslide, get to the archway above the silver arrow resting place, get past the bridge troll the second time (if you need to go that way to get back to the castle) , nor can I figure any use for the hobgoblin room, nor the potion you get out of the globe (or any of the potions in the lab, for that matter..) If anyone can help, or knows where I can find the spoiler file (which I saw once before, but my friend deleted it...) Please email me.... Many thanks in advance...

I've got some questions for those out there who've plaved Shadowgate...
There's this room with an exit in the ceiling (not the room with the rope,
but a room close to it) and I can't seem to get to it. The hole in the
ceiling is not readily visible. Also, how do you get across the rotted
bridge in the room with 2 bridges? Also, is there another way across the
troll's bridge, I know of 2 ways to do it, but I waste an item in each of
them.

None of the lab potions are of any use to the game. The potion in the glo
be is an antidote to the wraith's curse. You don't have to clear the landslide
to win. I have heard that it is possible to do it, but I have never figured ou
t how. The hole in the ceiling of the basement(I am not talking about the rope
room) goes up to the trap door on the main floor(In the room leading to the dr
agon). The goblin room is not important. When crossing the troll bridge the f
irst time, you MUST use the spear. If you use the scroll he will become angry
and you will not be able to cross later with the spear.

Funny, I don't remember having this problem. I think if you activate the
scroll before you attempt to cross the bridge, the troll will not show
his ugly mug, and will therefore give no problems.
I am fairly sure I have gotten across both ways.
