Hello all. I've come to a couple of dead ends (what a supprise) in Shadowgate, and would like some help. Subtle hints are preferred, but blatent solutions will also be accepted :) Sir Doogan: After placing the ring in the hole and returning the cover, nothing happens. What else should I do here? Room with platnium horn: I think I must put out the fires in order to get the horn? Is this correct, and how is it done? Lookout: What goes in the flagpole holder? All help is appreciated, and please hurry, before I do something drastic.... (I'd hate to smash the computer over this :) Thanks, Ginger

Help! I've progressed fairly far into Shadowgate, but now I'm stuck. Can anyone out there help me out (but don't tell me TOO much)? I have the Staff of Ages, the Platinum Horn, and the Bladed Sun. I think I am supposed to do one of the following things next, but I don't know which and/or how: a) Get through the opening where the stone block falls down b) Solve the 3-lever combination c) Get through the landslide next to the waterfall d) Get through the opening above the concrete ledge which breaks e) Get through the door next to the well (the well with the mechanism) What about the cage which has the loose bars? Any assistance would be MUCH appreciated. | Steve Chell | steve@fivegl.co.nz | 5GL International Ltd | PH: +64.9.3021621 | Auckland, New Zealand | FAX: +64.9.3021617 -- | Steve Chell | steve@fivegl.co.nz | 5GL International Ltd | PH: +64.9.3021621 | Auckland, New Zealand | FAX: +64.9.3021617

(In the Nintendo version there is a "programmers' room" behind the rocks. You have to do a certain number of things to get there, though. Don't ask me what it is-- I DON'T KNOW; if you're really curious post a message in rec.games.video for the answer.) >d) Get through the opening above the concrete ledge which breaks Another dead end.

I haven't played this, but my friend was playing on a mac, and was showing me the various rooms. And in one of the rooms, I pointed to something and said "Wait, isn't that the combo", and sure enough... Don't know about the Amiga version, but I don't think they'd pull out the clue. -- Darin Johnson djohnson@ucsd.edu - Political correctness is Turing undecidable.
