Shadowgate Hints
Why do I die when I smash the left mirror?
1 of 8: Well, let's see.
2 of 8: If you smash the left mirror, the shards of glass cut you and kill you.
3 of 8: I'm actually rather surprised at that, because you're wearing armor.
4 of 8: And a shield won't stop them.
5 of 8: The cloak isn't made to resist this, if you got it.
6 of 8: You can't wear the helmet.
7 of 8: So, there's really no way to stop the glass.
