How can I get past the first shadow door?
  • 1 of 5: Well, you have to find some way to pass all of these "shadow doors."
  • 2 of 5: If you free Mazzy, she will tell you about the sunstones that can open the doors.
  • 3 of 5: There is a sunstone in the room to the south.
  • 4 of 5: Unfortunately, as soon as you get it, you are swamped by shadows until you leave the room.
  • 5 of 5: To get it with minimal pain, send a hidden-in-shadows thief in and use the pedestal.  Then, immediately exit through the north door of the chamber -- the summoned shadows will follow you, so draw them back to your party and kill them.
