- Ultima V has to be the most challenging game I have ever played, or will
- probably play for quite some time. My compliments go out to Richard Garret for
- this excellent game. There are a few dead giveaways in the game though. For
- example, I took notes of >EVERYTHING< everyone said (word for word). I could
- tell when someone was withholding information because I would only get about
- 2-4 lines out of them. Now, If a person told me 1/2 to a page of text, I knew
- I was done with him. Ideas for the next one, right?
-
- Well, in order to solve U5, you must do the following:
- -Obtain all 3 shards from the underworld
- -Use the shards to destroy the Shadowlords
- -Retrieve the Scepter, Crown, Amulet, and Sandlewood Box
- -Become 8th level
- -Completed all of the shrines quests
- -Be 'Ordained' by Brittish when you sleep
- -Then enter the 'hole' to the center of the world, wind your way around
- (up and down levels, of course) and free Lord Brittish
-
- Got it? Didn't think so... Here is a more in depth description of the above:
-
- 1) Obtain all 3 shards:
- These are found in 'obvious' places in the underworld. I remembered to
- write down only two of the coordinates, sorry I can't tell you the Third.
- (C0,50) and (B0,B8) are the only two I know. To obtain your coordinate hit
- <ctrl>-2 (on a //gs) or <ctrl>-<shift>-2 (on a //e). This will spit out a long
- number. The last 4 digits are your current coordinates. Note: 0,0 is to your
- upper-left (as if you were in the 4th quadrant of a plane).
-
- 2) Use the Shards:
- Go into each of the castles (Empath Abbey, Serpents Hold, and Lyceum) and
- find the flames of Truth/Courage/Love. You then must position yourself
- directly below it. Next summon the Shadowlord who is opposite that flame
- (Truth summons Falsehood, Love summons Hatred, and Courage summons Cowardice).
- To do this shout out their names (Falsehood: Faulinei, Hatred: Astaroth,
- Cowardice: Nosfentor). THe shadowlord should appear directly above the flame,
- pass a turn so that it walks onto the flame, then use the correct shard. It
- will give you this little song and dance then say ...doom has been wrought!
- And the shadowlord is gone forever!
-
- 3) Retrieve Lord Brittish's articles:
- The scepter is in Stonegate (94,4A) or is the reverse? well it is either
- (94,4A or 4A,94 I'm looking off of my maps and forgot which way is which).
- Well, you go in there and grab it. NOTE: you MUST have the flying carpet by
- now to get over the traps or you will instantly die upon touching the traps
- (nice, huh?). The Crown is on the top level of Blackthorns castle (behind the
- magically locked door). THe Amulet is in the underworld (lower left part of
- the world approximately 70,D0 give or take a dozen) and finally the sandlewood
- box is on the top level of Lord Brittish's castle (again behind magically
- locked doors). To get it you must play the following tune on the harpsichord
- (678-987-8767653) and that will cause a section of the wall to disappear so you
- can grab the box.
-
- 4) Level 8
- Well, this is quite obvious. You need at least 6,400 experience to do
- this...Takes quite some time.
-
- 5) Quests
- You must go to each shrine, it will give you a quest to go to the codex
- (E9,E9) where it will tell you some pretty important info. The last time you
- go there (the eigth time) you will get some other info. This is the
- translation:
-
- Beyond shades egress in the centre of the underworld there is a place of
- darkness. Beyond this darkness lies the gate to the core of the world. When
- thou art ready thou must call forth Veramocor to unlock the gate and venture
- past ethereal words and stealers of souls. That which the world hath, dost
- awaits thy coming!
-
- 6) Once you have completed steps 1-5 (not necessarily in that order) Lord
- Brittish will come to you while you sleep and say something like: Thou art now
- armed and thy must now complete thy destiny! You are then off to #7!
-
- 7) Enter the hole (80,80 in the underworld) and get down to 8th level.
- Somewhere on the 8th level is a room which looks like a room in a town. You
- must go stand before the mirror. It will suck you in and your done!
-
- Here is some other important info:
-
- Virture/Mantra/Word of Power chart:(probably the most important chart there is)
-
- Virtue Mantra Word of Power Dungeons
- Honesty Ahm Fallax Deceit
- Compassion Mu Vilis Despise
- Valor Ra Inopia Destard
- Justice Beh Malum Wrong
- Sacrifice Cah Avidus (unknown)
- Honor Summ Infama Shame
- Spirituality Om Ignavus (unknown)
- Humility Lumm Veramocor (unknown)
-
- Mystical weapons/armor are at (e9,e9) in the underworld
-
- The runes can be found in any ordinary encylopedia (to help you translate the
- encrypted text).
