- Ultima V Solve
-
-
-
-
- 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).
-
- I can't wait for U6! That ought to be REALLY challenging!
