Shadowgate Hints
How do I get my sphere back?
1 of 8: Well, the lake is just frozen, right?
2 of 8: And everybody knows at least one way of penetrating ice.
3 of 8: Unfortunately, only one will work.
4 of 8: You need to liquidate.
5 of 8: Don't you have something that can melt the ice?
6 of 8: How do you get light?
7 of 8: Try torching the ice. (Note: don't torch the sphere, even though you're melting the ice above it. If you try to use the torch on the sphere ... fizzle.)
