Shadowgate Hints
Why do I keep falling in this trap?
1 of 4: Have you noticed anything that always seems to come along with you when you fall down the trapdoor?
2 of 4: The trapdoor opens whenever you take the book.
3 of 4: So just don't take the book.
4 of 4: This is one of those weird things in the game; if you perform certain actions on the book other than taking it, the trapdoor will open.
