Folks, I've been stuck in Shadowgate for the last year (shows how much I play it). Recently I went back to it, and I'm still stuck, and too cheap to send for the clue book. (Shadowgate is a graphics-based adventure - I forget who released it). Anyone have hints? Here's where I am so far: - the only thing I could do in the main entrance with the carpet is to burn it - I have the sceptre, sword, spear, sling, stones, silver arrow, spellbook, helm, shield, various torches including an odd one, and a little treasure. - in the hidden room with the silver arrow: how do I get to the upper exit??? - in the dragon lair, is there any point in getting the chest? - just outside the dragon lair, there is a square hole in the door. What's it for? How can I get down the trap door? Does the pedestal have any significance? - in the lake room, how can I get the key from the skeleton (there's a shark cruising by...) - in the waterfall room, can you get past the rubble blocking the stairs? I've found the room behind the falls. - in the mirror room, there is a trap door in the floor, and a locked door behind the middle mirror, as well as a flying broom. How can I control the broom? Do I use it to descend through the trap door or other exits? I am assuming that the key the skeleton holds in the lake room will open this locked door... That's as far as I can get, and I'm stuck. Lots of exits, but I can't get through them without dying! HELP!!! (and thanks) Rob
