You can't find the combination, you just have to try (it's 2-3-2).
You can get past the gargoils by blinding them. (invoke a scroll!).

This is a blind alley, but remember, before you go into the well, you 
have to get back to the bridge with the skull on the side (that's 
near the place were you pulled the torch to open a secret passage).
You can only cross the bridge if you are very light!!! (but don't
forget the wand, you need it there), then the staff must be assembled
and you're ready to combat with the wizard, use the invisibility scroll
to get past the bridgetroll and the cyclope. Read a scroll to see
where the blazing star has to be put in.

The rest you don't need, throw it away.

Have you played Uninvited, if so, do you know how to cage the bird in
the cage?

I hope I didn't give away to much, but you don't have to read all the 
clues (but I've finished Shadowgate, so if you need anymore help, just
write to me.),

See ya,
