Deaths
What would a Shadowgate game be without a myriad of fun creative deaths? Well, it'd be Shadowgate 2. But this game is not that, and it leans into the creative side of deaths for the most part. Granted, most of them are "get killed by enemy," but the animations are at least different and with varying levels of gruesome for each creature. Here is a list of what I've found:
- When escaping your cell, take too long to attack the Guard and he'll bludgeon you with his bucket. This doesn't actually kill you, but the guillotine you're sent to does.
- Get killed by the Guard in the Commissary.
- Get killed by the Torturer.
- Get killed by either of the Guards in Cell Block 2.
- In the Skeleton Cell of the Dungeon, jump into the pit without releasing the skeleton. You'll land right into the open maw of the killer plant below.
- Get killed by the Minotaur.
- After defeating the Minotaur, have Erik open the trap door. Stand on top of it before the door opens (might have to walk back and forth on it a bit).
- Get killed by the Cave Dweller.
- Get killed by the Mulnear.
- Get eaten by the giant blue mushroom in the Caves.
- Walk into the stream of lava in the Caves.
- Try to sneak past the Troll and he'll hit you a few times with his club.
- Punch out at least one of the baby wyverns, then head to the Wyvern Nest and attempt to pick up the Blue Serpent Idol.
- Get shot by the Marauder with the arrows.
- Get shot by the Marauder with the flame thrower.
- Get killed by the Twin Mushrooms in the Druid Wood.
- Get killed by the Goblin King.
- Attack the guard standing by the City gate on High Street A, then get killed by her.
- Get killed by the Manticore guarding Castle Gwynenthel. You'll have to provoke him first.
- After saving the fallen old lady, pick up the Thick Book sitting on the foot of the bed. She takes entirely too long to read it to you.
- After you enter the City, a Lion will spawn on the North Woods Access road. Allow it to maul you.
- Travel across the Swamp area without having purchased a Dog.
- Get killed by the Rhino Bully.
- Attempt to take the Sword without first equipping the Gauntlet.
- Get killed by the Slugs in the Dwarf Mine area.
- Get killed by the Skeleton Canon.
- Use the Sharp Metal Piece and Orb on the statue on the right in the Tomb.
- Enter Lakmir's Hut without first equipping the Ancient Pendant.
- Punch Lakmir after saving him.
- Get crushed by any of the boulders that fall onto the Plateau.
- Get killed by the Guardian of the Mountain.
- Get killed by the Undead Harpy.
- Get killed by the Undead Creature.
- Use the Red Scroll on the Organ.
- Use the Yellow Scroll on the organ.
- Approach the door in the Organ Room.
- Walk right into the trap door in the Clock Tower.
