2317.0. "Help with SHADOWGATE?" by MVSUPP::RYMER (Stealthy is Healthy) Fri Mar 03 1989 04:56

    
    
    I have a friend (honest) who is stuck in a game called SHADOWGATE
    (sp?). He wants to know how to get past the dog that is looking
    after the platinum horn.
    
    Can anyone help ???????

2317.1hint disk availableSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterFri Mar 03 1989 07:103
    I don't remember this particular puzzle, but there is a disk of
    "shadowgate hints" that you can buy.  It's a pretty good program.

2317.2I'll checkWJG::GUINEAUFri Mar 03 1989 07:335
I have the clue book at home, I'll look it up tonight.

BTW - That's the only way I can finish games like that (with a clue book)!

>>BTW - That's the only way I can finish games like that (with a clue book)!

Lets hope the game companies don't start using the Poloroid camera marketing
technique. Can you imaging buying games for say $10 that require purchase 
of $30 hint books and hint disks...  :^}

   It is a beast of flame so try the HOLY WATER.  Hint: If your friend
does not already have the HOLY WATER, it is located in the room with all
those little bottles and the kettle (next to the outside garden), but it 
is hidden...look down.

    Thanks all,
    
    
    My friend told me the tip worked. He has now finished SHADOWGATE.

2317.6Jumping the lava poolSALEM::CAPRICCIOSat Aug 11 1990 12:429
    I'm entering this on behalf of a friend...
    
    How does one get beyond the lava pool in SHADOWGATE?  If anyone
    can help me I'll be glad to save the multiverse for us all at no
    charge!
    
    Thanks,

2317.7It's been a long time but...SHARE::DOYLESat Aug 11 1990 12:577
     Your friend needs the "Globe" to cross the lava pool.
       Check the "Nintendo" notes file.

2317.8Lots of info availableGOBAMA::WILSONTLTony, the HOSS TRUMPETMon Aug 13 1990 11:123
    Do a "DIR/TITLE=SHAD" in here, as well.  There are several other notes
    on SHADOWGATE.  There is available a complete walk-through of the game,
    if you want.

    Re: .7

    Thanks Ed, I'll pass on the message.

    Re: .8

    I did do a directory first (that's how I found this note!) and came up
    with only two for SHADOWGATE; 1354 and 2317. A contract worker here
    (sans VAX account) has the game on his Amiga at home. He had got to the
    end (?) and wanted to complete it. His brother had finished the game a
    few years back but couldn't remember the "key" to get past that point.
    He asked me if I knew, and since I've never played myself, I turned to
    the ultimate source of Amiga knowledge in the universe. I "replied" to
    the base note, typed the intro, let him type the question and then
    signed off myself. Am I banished forever?

�   on SHADOWGATE.  There is available a complete walk-through of the game,

    Is this via a hints book? I thought I saw one a System Eyes, but I
    can't remember if it was SHADOWGATE specific or what.

    Thanks,

    Pete
2317.10The walkthrough is a text file.GOBAMA::WILSONTLTony, the HOSS TRUMPETMon Aug 13 1990 15:034
    The walkthrough is available on one of the AMIGA source systems (WJG,
    TAPE, etc).  I'll see if I can find it and post its location here.
