I - Introduction/Contact Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shadowgate is a 2014 game available on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. It is
published by Zojoi, a company made up of many of those responsible for the
original Shadowgate MacVenture and NES game. The game is very faithful in
gameplay and style to the original Shadowgate game. It is not a remake, but
there are many puzzles and rooms that players of the original game will
recognize.
I personally have been a big fan of the MacVenture games Shadowgate, Uninvited
and Deja Vu ever since I played them on the NES as a kid back in the 1980s and
1990s. Shadowgate was the first of the games I played and my favorite of the
group so the release of a new Shadowgate game excited me quite a bit!
The main version of this walkthrough will always appear on GameFAQs.com. If
you would like to use it on your site, please keep it in the text format.
Send any comments, corrections or questions to either my email address at
shadowgatehelp@gmail.com or message me on GameFAQs.com under my username,
Emperor Cain.
Presently this Walkthrough only covers the Apprentice and Journeyman modes.
Future updates will include coverage of Master mode as well as Frequently
Asked Questions, a guide for each specific room, tips on meeting Achievements
and a list of possible deaths.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II - Walkthoughs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The walkthroughs are designed to give you just the bare details that you need
to beat the game. These walkthroughs will not reveal any story information,
only when cutscenes appear. With rare exception, these walkthroughs will only
focus on the items you need to beat the game, and will not cover any items that
are optional.
A. General Gameplay
Challenge Levels
----------------
Shadowgate provides you with three different difficulty options:
Apprentice - For first-time adventurers. Contains the easiest puzzles and most
forgiving gameplay.
Journeyman - For casual adventurers. Contains harder puzzles and less forgiving
gameplay.
Master - For experienced adventurers and closest to the classic version.
Contains the hardest puzzles and least forgiving gameplay.
Despite what is said in the game, I would consider the Journeyman level more
attune to the original Shadowgate challenge level. The higher the difficulty
level, the more items and spells that are available, and the more complicated
puzzles are. In addition there are areas where items will be removed and
you will need to find another solution. There are less torches available in
higher difficulty levels and the torches last for a shorter period of time.
Also, while keys are discarded once used in Apprentice and Master, you
retain them in Master.
General Gameplay
----------------
There are 9 possible actions that you can take:
Look: Use to look at things in closer detail. This can be done on objects
within the room, objects within your inventory as well as rooms themself.
Using the look option will not count as a move.
Take: Use to take items and add them to your inventory.
Open: Use to open doors, hatches, sacks, books, scrolls, etc... You can also
open and go through the clothes of corpses/mummies, etc...
Close: Use to close doors, hatches, books, scrolls, etc... Typically sacks
vanish upon opening and cannot be closed. Scrolls and books that teach you
spells also vanish once they are read.
Go: Use to go through doors, tunnels, etc... In certain rooms you can also
use the go feature to move closer to a specific part of the room.
Use: Use objects in your inventory or the room. You will need to choose to
use an object on another object or yourself.
Hit: Use to hit things, such as walls, creatures, etc...
Eat: Use to eat objects.
Speak: Use to speak to creatures that you find in the castle. You can also
use speak to cast spells.
In addition the following options also appear on the screen at all times:
Save (top left): Use to save your game.
Yorick (top left): Once you have picked up Yorick, you may speak to him for
hints. Yorick will also assist if you have the tutorial feature turned on.
Self (top right): Use when you are trying to use objects on yourself, or
vice versa.
Options (top right): Additional menu options.
Inventory (bottom left): All the items you take are added to your inventory,
you may use them or look at them at any time afterwards. Your inventory is
split into four tabs, a general items tab, an archive tab which contains your
books and scrolls, an outfit tab which contains objects you can wear and a
spells tab.
Map (bottom left): Use to look at your map. The game automatically will update
as you go through castle Shadowgate.
Torch (bottom right): Shows your torch. As your torch is starting to go out,
the flame will shrink and the room will grow darker. You can use the torch to
light other torches, as well as to set things on fire.
Torches
-------
You must have a torch lit at all times or you will die. There are numerous
torches available throughout the game, all of which I have listed in the
inventory. When your torch is starting to go out, you will see the flame
shrink. Yorick will also give you hints when it is going out. Finally, there
is a new music theme which plays when your torch is about to go out. To light
a new torch, use your lit torch on one of the torches in your inventory. This
will discard the current torch and you will start using the new torch. Torches
will go out based on how many moves you have done, not based on how much time
passes.

V - Deaths
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the fun of playing Shadowgate is all the various ways that you can die,
many of them which can be done via suicide. What follows is a list of the
various deaths you can experience.
This section is still a work in progress.
A. Regular Deaths
Set yourself on fire
-Use a lit torch on yourself 3 times.
Stab yourself in the belly
-Use the dirk on yourself 2 times.
Cut yourself in the neck
-Use the sword on yourself 2 times.
Cleave yourself in half
-Use the black axe on yourself 2 times.
Smash your head in with a hammer
-Use the hammer on yourself 2 times.
Plunge spear through yourself
-Use the spear on yourself 3 times.
Stumble in dark
-Let the torch go out and try to go somewhere while it is dark. You will
trip and fall on your head.
Fall into pit in floor
-Take the book or candles in the Alcove. The floor will give way beneath you.
Get roasted by dragon
-Perform an action or try to go into the dragon tunnel while not having any
shield equipped.
Get roasted by dragon with wooden shield

while the wooden shield is equipped.

-Go onto the wooden bridge on the right in the Footbridge. The bridge will
collapse underneath you.
Jump into chasm at Footbridges.
-Go into the chasm at the Footbridges.
Fall into well
-Go into the well in the Courtyard. You will fall to your death, your head
exploding like a pumpkin.
Jump out of window
-In the Drawbridge room there will be 2 windows, one of which should have a
grappling hook attached to it and the other which does not. Go out the
window that doesn't have the grappling hook attached to jump to your death.
Jump over Fire Pit in Study
-If the fire pit is not at a level such that the Fire Elemental appears in
the Study, use a log on it.
-Go into the fire pit. You'll attempt to jump over it and get turned into a
charred hunk.
Get shot with arrow by goblin
-Go to the Grotto while not wearing a shield and the goblin firing at you
will hit you with an arrow when you enter. Typically you dodge the arrow the
first time, so you may need to enter the location multiple times to get this
death to occur.
Get killed in goblin hole
-Go into the cave entrance where goblins are firing arrows at you from in the
Grotto before killing them.
Get clubbed by goblin
-When the goblin appears in the Grand Hallway, try to go or do an action other
than hitting it. It will smash you with its cudgel.
Get clubbed by helmed goblin
-When the helmed goblin appears in the Small Corridor try to go or do an
action other than hitting it with a gauntlet equipped and it will bash your
head in until your skull explodes.
Get killed by 2 goblins
-Hit the goblins or do other actions on them in the Guardroom and 2 of
them will kill you.
Get killed by 2 goblins (2)
-Hit the goblins before casting the Flumoris spell, try to go, or take other
actions on them and they will kill you, exploding your head like a melon.
Killed by banshee curse
-Fail to cure the banshee curse and it will eventually kill you.
Killed by Yorick shrapnel
-Probably the most complicated regular death in the game to achieve, you
need to turn Yorick blue by using the blue vapor on it in the Laboratory. You
then must hit it with a twice enchanted hammer (by casting Magj'ryk on it
and placing it in the lava in the Lava Flow) in the Guardroom. Yorick will
explode and his shrapnel will kill both you and the three goblins in the room.
Pounced on by wolf woman
-When Malor Kahu turns into a werewolf in the Strong Room, hit it, or use
another weapon on it other than the bow and arrows. She will pounce on you
and eat your face.
Electrocuted by Lightning Elemental
-Fill an empty bottle with water by using an empty bottle on a body of water
such as the water in the Sewer or the moat in the Courtyard.

(Apprentice, Journeyman) or using the Lightning Elemental on you (Master) and
they will swat you across the room.

Jump into well headfirst in Ruins
-Go into the well in Ruins.
Jump into chasm

Blasted by Warlock Lord
-Do an action on the Warlock Lord in Subterrane and he'll blast you.
Blasted by Skull Door

horn. Fire will blast out of the eyes of the skull, killing you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI - Frequently Asked Questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Can I play the game without Yorick?
A. No. You cannot take the key in the Entrance without taking Yorick first.
There is a way to destroy Yorick (see later question regarding how to kill
the goblins in the Guardroom), but by doing so you will die as well so he
cannot be permanently destroyed.
Q. Is there a way to avoid the banshee curse?
A. No. You are required to open at least one coffin in order to obtain items
to beat the game and the banshee will appear the first time you open a
coffin.
Q. How do I cure the banshee curse?
A. In Apprentice, you can find a bottle with a purple liquid in it in the
Library. Drink it to cure the curse. In Journeyman, you will need to create
a purple mist in the Laboratory and eat it. To create the purple mist, use
a mushroom found in the Wizard's Den, a plant found in the Well and a
snowdrop flower found in the Inner Keep on the opening in the machine and
cast the Myyxx spell to create the mist. You can do the same in Master.
You can also obtain a bottle with the antidote by solving the third Djinn
riddle. If the machine in the Laboratory is not working, make sure you
have put the glyph skulls in the slots at the Entrance to power the
machine.
Q. Is there a way to open the door in the Landing (North Tower 3rd Floor)
or the left door on the Landing (West Tower 4th Floor)?
A. No. These doors cannot be opened.
Q. Is there a way to open the door in the Ruins?
A. Yes. Instead of killing the goblin in the Grand Hallway, simply hit it.
It will eventually come back randomly. The fifth time you hit it, open
it to obtain the key to this door. Note that you will be killed if you
open this door (a hidden death).
Q. How do I cross the wooden bridge in the Footbridges?
A. You will need to capture the air elemental using the Orb and release it
on the bridge. The air elemental can be found on the Keep tower. In order
to shrink its size and capture it you will need to use the knife on the
flute such that it has 3 holes.
Q. How do I use the mirror warps?
A. The second rune skull must be in place at the Entrance in order for the
warps, which are located in the fourth and fifth mirrors, to work.
Q. Where do I use the frozen key from the Cellar?
A. This key is not usable.
Q. Is there a way to get rid of the goblin that fires an arrow at me each
time I enter the Grotto?
A. On Apprentice and Journeyman, no. On Master you can kill them by firing
2 crossbow bolts into the cave entrance that they fire from. The
crossbow and bolts can be found in the Guardroom (see seperate question on
how to take items from that room).
Q. Is there a way to permanently get rid of the goblins?
A. If you simply hit the goblins and knock them out, they will eventually
return. You can permanently kill them by using your dirk or sword on them
while they are knocked out.
Q. Is there a way to kill the goblins in the Guardroom?
A. Yes, but if you do so, you will die. You will need to collect the ice
(use a hammer in the Cellar on an icicle), animal skull, sugar kane and
dead flowers. Use these on the machine in the Laboratory along with the
Myyxx spell for a blue vapor to appear. You will then need to double
enchant your hammer, which can be done by going to the Lava Flow, using
the Magj'ryk spell on it, and using the hammer on the lava. Then return
to the Laboratory and use the blue vapor on Yorick to turn him blue. Then
go to the Guardroom and use the double enchanted hammer on Yorick to kill
him, you, and all three goblins.
Q. Is there a way to permanently get rid of the Wraith in the passage?
A. Unfortunately not. To get rid of him use a lit torch on him. In Master,
you will need to use a green lit torch which is done by using the candle
in the Alcove on your lit torch. Do the same when he reappears.
Q. How can I take items from the Guardroom?
A. In order to take items from the Guardroom you need to make the goblins
believe that you are a goblin. You can do this by wearing the goblin
helmet (hit the goblin in the Small Corridor), goblin clothes (hit the
goblin in the Grand Hallway) and goblin armor (hit the goblins in the
Landing (West Tower 1st Floor). Note that there are certain items in
this room that you can't take.
Q. The Djinn automatically sends me to the Entrance each time I enter the
prison. What do I do to enter this room?
A. You are only able to enter the Prison in Master. If you try to enter in a
lower difficulty, he will send you to the Entrance every time you enter
the room.
Q. What are the solutions to the Djinn riddles?
A. The solution to the first riddle is to use a red hot poker. In order to
do this, you must use a lit torch on the poker first. The solution to the
second riddle is the parchment you find from the Strong Room with a map
traced on it. To do this you must use the parchment on the globe in the
Study. The solution to the third riddle is the root from the Entrance.
The solution to the fourth riddle is the bucket from the Well. The
solution to the fifth riddle is the key from Hollow 2. If you answer the
fifth riddle, the Djinn will kill you, which is a special death (with a
cut scene).
