Shadowgate ~ Master Level ~ Walkthrough.

Shadowgate Walkthrough at Master Level.
What else is there to Say, But: Have Fun !!

Introduction.

Shadowgate is a 2014 game available on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. It is published by Zojoi, a company made up of many of those responsible for the original Shadowgate MacVenture and NES game. The game is very faithful in gameplay and style to the original Shadowgate game. It is not a remake, but there are many puzzles and rooms that players of the original game will recognize.

***

This walkthrough is designed to give you just the bare details that you need to beat the game, and will not reveal any story information, only when cutscenes appear.
With rare exception, the walkthrough will only focus on the items you need to beat the game, and will not cover any items that are optional.

Game Speed.

This walkthrough is not structured to do things in the least moves possible. The player at times may be able to do things in slightly different order than as specified here and still beat the game.

I did not write this Walkthrough, I Copied and Pasted it from Cheatcc ~ Shadowgate [www.cheatcc.com]

You'll never see this but I can't get anything to happen when trying to look at the floor in the banquet hall. I've tried every part of the floor and it simply describes the room rather than taking me to the floor area.

[sjdswanlund]

I had to restart so I could get the bucket from the well, for the death achievment, but every time I try to release the ice elemental on the braizer, no matter where I click, it just flies away and does nothing.

[sjdswanlund]

In the Banquet Hall, I've clicked everywhere to try looking at the floor, but it always says look at banquet hall

Master Ironman mode even with the help of this guide was intensly satisfying. Ive tried countless times to do it on my own but its a hell of a feat to do on Ironman. The ending music sends chills down my spine every time, thanks to the original author of this guide and to you, PennDragon.Inc for uploading it here. Upvoted.
