Shadowgate Walkthrough at Journeyman 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.

The End.

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

[chpineda93]

Good guide, just a small correction to be more clear in the Circle Chamber:

Circle Chamber
- Use Acensur spell (when you get it) over the circle.
- Go onto circle for another cutscene.
- You can now take the runes and complete the puzzle in the small room

[Killer Kitten]

Your instructions are as clear as mud. Do you not know how to write? You know, subject, verb, direct object, indirect object?

[vSully]

@Ed Oscuro THANKS!!

[Dave]

Hi, thanks for the walkthrough. A couple of things I noticed so far is that the rune sequence for me seemed to be different to your description and also a YouTube I found. I went to the Observatory, wrote down the sequence, and it worked for me. Also the order of the plant ingredients which go into the tree was different for me - the sequence above gave me a black smoke not purple. Perhaps some puzzles are randomised per New Game?

[LastSide]

For the record...
I didnt get a like 95% of the puzzle's solutions...
Weird I had to wait much time to complete the game and still dont get how people got the solution to them....

This is like Myst and La-Mulana all over again.

[LastSide]

Do Follow Ed Oscuro picture.
Thats the correct placement.

[PARKER!!!]

During he Castle Part 1, I'm unable to find the location where I'm supposed to look at the Banquet Hall floor. I've "looked" all over. The damn banshee clock is near it's end and I need that skull to power the machine to make the cure.

[Ed Oscuro]

This was the correct rune placement for me:
http://i.imgur.com/vMvHV1W.jpg
Found it on the Forums.

[Melusca]

In the Small Chamber puzzle, positions for Eagle + Eye and Water + Tree got reversed (Eagle should be 2,2, Eye 2,3, Water 4,1 and Tree 4,2). Great guide nonetheless.

[PennDragon.Inc]

There is no way to remove it, except to remove the second skull.
