Gil --

I'm going to answer your ShadowGate questions in varying levels
of "revelation".  If you want the complete story, keep hitting
"return".....



To get past the Gargoyles, you need to use a different scroll.

The sword is useless after offing the Cyclops.

"Bridge over flaming death"?  -- the Demon shall sinketh.  You  
obviously have the glasses on and know how to read the book; it's
just like a scroll.  I'll tell you where to use it later.

You need holy water to defeat the hell hound.

You don't need to open the door in the well room.



You need more help?  Are you sure?



O.K.

Use the "instantum illuminatus" scroll to get by the gargoyles, and
the invisiblity scroll to get by the troll.

Use the book in the room with the statue of the demon holding the
coals and the doorway on the far side (the room to the right of the
gargoyles).

The holy water is in the alchemy lab.  Look at the stone with the 
handle on it (to the left of the cage and the cauldron) and operate
it.  It will rise and give you the holy water.

Need still more help?  I've got a couple more hints:



Remember to take the cap off the holy water (it took me a couple
tries to realize it was closed).

In the room past the "bridge of flaming death", cross that bridge
BEFORE passing the gargoyles.  You'll need something from over there.

One last hint for the room past the "bridge over flaming death":



Remember the markings on the stairway in the sphinx room.

Hope I didn't spoil it for you!
