Shadowgate Hints
How can I pass the trollgate?
1 of 11: Well, if you try to just walk by, he'll throw you in the chasm.
2 of 11: And you can't bribe him with fake money.
3 of 11: You can't sneak by, either, even if you know the right spell.
4 of 11: You've got to incapacitate the troll.
5 of 11: But you can't get close to him, or he'll pull the floor out from under you.
6 of 11: You must have something long-distance.
7 of 11: Not the arrow, no.
8 of 11: And don't try to stone him. You'll probably miss.
9 of 11: Spear that sucker!
10 of 11: Didn't find it? It was in the dragon room.
