You will need it later. * The silver arrow points the way to a secret passage. * The Wraith is allergic to green flame. * Put the sphere on the lake to freeze it. After you obtain the key, melt the ice with the torch. * Gather a pebble from in front of the waterfall. Also, look behind the waterfall for useful gems. Save them to use later. * In the mirror room use the hammer on the middle mirror. * Load your slingshot with a stoneand fire at the cyclops. The well contains a surprise. * In the library, read the Magic Arts Volume One: First Steps to learn magic. Use the scroll in the seak to open the globe in the study. If you have been cursed by the Wraith the potion will cure you. * In the observatory use the shooting star to operate the painting. * In the tower the silver arrow, the holy water and the shooting star will kill the maiden, the hellhound and the wyvern, respectively. * In the lava room open the magic book and then use it on the statue. * In the well room make a wish with the appropriately engraved coin. * In the throne room return your heritage to Sir Doogan. * Ring the gong to attract the ferryman's attention and give him one of the coins with a skull on it. * Use Ulterior Humana on yourself to pass the troll. * Use Instantum Illuminaris on the gargoyles to stun them. ____________________________________________________ ShadowGate **************************************************** * * * Clues provided by Douglas Campbell * * as published in * * QUESTBUSTERS The Adventures Journal * * September, 1987 Vol.IV,# 9 * * * **************************************************** ....Always carry one spare torch.
