Dark Shadow pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
In Dark Shadow, build the BUCHLER and SIGFRID lights, clear the drop targets, and send the ball into Barbarian's Land. Barbarian's Land advances Bonus Value and can open the gate and raise the multiplier when the lit value matches. Complete a lit group or hit the flashing right red target for Extra Ball or points, depending on settings.
The goal
Work whichever complete light group is safest, then use Barbarian's Land to advance Bonus Value and the multiplier. Read the current award lamps before finishing BUCHLER, SIGFRID, or the drop targets because the same completion can pay Extra Ball, Special, or points.
Send the ball into Barbarian's Land to score and advance Bonus Value.
When the lit Bonus Value matches, return to Barbarian's Land to open the gate and advance the multiplier.
Build the BUCHLER and SIGFRID light groups, and clear the four drop targets.
Finish a group while its Extra Ball or Special award is lit, or hit the flashing right red target for its active award.
