Deaths

Wouldn't be a Shadowgate game without a ton of unique ways to die! I think I have everything in here, including all of the Special/Hidden deaths. A few notes: not all of these deaths are available on all modes. In fact, the vast majority of them cannot be gotten in Normal mode. In some of the lower difficulties, you won't be allowed to Go into things like pits and lakes, but if you Use said pit or lake multiple times you can sometimes trigger the death that way.

Use Golden Thorn on Thyself two or three times
