Shadowgate Hints
I have protection, but the dragon kills me anyway!
1 of 7: Pay attention to the death scene.
2 of 7: Your shield melted.
3 of 7: It says it's extremely hot in there.
4 of 7: And there's dragon fire beating against the shield.
5 of 7: You can't fireproof it any more.
6 of 7: Just go out into the cold room and let your shield cool down.
7 of 7: The shield melts if you're in the dragon room for three (or maybe four or five; it seems to fluctuate) turns with it.
