U L T I M A I V (The Quest Of The Avatar) (Information compiled by John R. Barnsley) CHARACTER CREATION. There is a way to determine your character's class. When the Gypsy asks you to choose one of the virtues - Honesty, Compassion, Valour, Justice, Sacrifice, Honour, Spirituality or Humility over another, the higher virtue appears on the LEFT as choice 'A'. The eight classes - Mage, Bard, Fighter, Druid, Tinker, Paladin, Ranger or Shepherd correspond to the virtues in this manner: If you choose all 'A' answers, you'll be a Mage; Seven 'A' answers and then a 'B' will make you a Bard, and so on. The Bard, with his sling, and the Mage, with spell-casting ability, begin with distinct advantages. The size of monster parties on the surface is based on the size of your group, so unless you enjoy lots of large-scale battles, don't enlist any party members (except maybe a Mage) until you've become an Avatar. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Half the game is devoted to developing the virtues. (see the DUNGEON section for the secret to building strength and other traits). Hawkwind, in Lord British's Castle, will inform you of your progress. The numbers match the order of the virtues previously listed and 99 means you're ready for elevation. Talk to everyone you meet. Actions are also important, and improper actions will cost you points. To earn Honesty points, never steal, pay less than a shop's quoted price or lie. The trick question is: "Have you never lied?", whose correct answer is "No". For Compassion, give one piece of gold to beggars. Valour is attained by victorious combat, but don't attack non-evil creatures or you'll lose Justice and Honour points. And if you attack them while they're fleeing you'll lose Honour! It's O.K. to fight them if they attack. Never flee from combat unless in mortal danger, or you'll lose Valour. Honour is attained by not cheating in shops and by finding the runes, stone, bell, book and candle. Give blood when a Healer asks for donations to earn Sacrifice points. You gain a few Spirituality points each time you talk to Hawkwind. For Humility, always say "No" when asked if you're proud of something or best at anything - unless asked if you are the MOST HUMBLE. THE MOON GATES Each gate has THREE phases, which can be determined by the three-part cycle of the moons. The first number below refers to the gate as you enter it, the last three to your destination.

Prepare lots of spells and carry some extra reagents. Missile weapons like slings are especially valuable. If you step back instead of advancing towards monsters in the combat arena, they will often move into the firing line. You can outrun them on a horse. One effective combat tactic is to line your crew into two columns. See the Virtues section on Valour, Justice and Honour for other combat tips. Some spells aren't revealed in the manual: Gate Travel (a f h), Undead (a c), Resurrect (a b c d e h). THE QUEST BEGINS. The first stage of this solution is from the viewpoint of a Mage. To follow it with another class, use the Moon Gates to reach Moonglow. Search the chest next to Mariah for the Rune of Honesty. Don't buy any magic herbs if just starting out. Instead, visit the Lycaeum on the Northwest coast. Ask the Baron about the word and he'll say: "VER" which is part of the Word Of Passage. Enter the Moon Gate, West of Moonglow during a New moon and search for the Stone of Humility. Enter during the next New moon and go to Britannia. SECRETS OF LORD BRITISH'S CASTLE. Go East in the Castle, open the door and find the WHITE DOT on the North wall. These mark secret doors. Go North to the dot leading East; outside you'll find Joshua and a riddle. Re-enter the passage and go North into the Northeast Castle Rampart. Go West to meet Shawn for tips on Humility. A ladder in this rampart leads to the second level and the Prison; a secret door leads West to behind the Castle and a ladder to the Dungeon Hythloth. A Healer is due South of the first secret door. On the West side of the Castle you'll find Hawkwind through the first door AFTER moving South. Go North and East through the door just South of the ladder. Search in the LOWER RIGHT CORNER for the Rune of Spirituality. Head upstairs to meet Lord British, who will heal you if asked about Health and you say "No". He'll also promote you to higher levels when you've earned it. BRITAIN AND PAWS. Buy a Sling. At the end of the long hall North of the Inn, search for the Rune of Compassion. Enter the secret door in the Healer's and Julio about nature for Honesty points. Keep the sea in sight while moving South. Cross the two bridges going East and enter Paws. Buy a horse. South of the Stables, just below the Stablehand, search for the Rune of Humility. The Herb Shoppe is behind a secret door in the Armoury. BLOODY PLAINS AND MANDRAKE ROOT. You need 900 gold for your next major purchase, so kill lots of monsters on the way to Lord British's Castle. Get healed and head East from Moon Gate 2, crossing the bridge and moving East until you see mountains to the North. Go North, passing the eastern bridge, and circle Lock Lake. Southeast of the lake you'll spy a pass through the foothills that leads East and exits into the Bloody Plains to the Northeast. To find Mandrake Root, stand on the SINGLE SQUARE OF SWAMP and search during a New Moon. Go due East through a small mountain pass that leads North and you'll find Vesperon the South coast. VESPER. Don't enter without 900 gold. Then visit the Guild and ask about ITEM D. Use it to get your bearings; most of the sites listed in the charts used, employ these co-ordinates. You can also pick up Humility points in Vesper, whose walls are lined with secret doors. ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Head back to Lord British, yelling at the horse to hurry if you're seriously wounded. After checking with him and Hawkwind you're ready to travel the land and build up your character by earning 99 points in each virtue and acquiring the runes and mantras needed to enter the shrines. Complete this for all virtues and you'll have attained Partial Avatarhood. First go to Paws and stock up on ginseng and garlic, then use the Moon Gates and the sextant to reach the following locations for the necessary items or information. Later you can raise lots of gold by finding the Mystic Armour and weapons; sell them and return for more, and repeat until rich. Ships won't appear until later in the game, and Jhelom or Skara Brae are good places to find one. VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CASTLES Name Lat. Long.

Enter the Hythloth Dungeon behind Britannia, exit immediately and enter the Balloon. Climb and descend to fly it, and use wind spells to steer. Fly West and North to the Serpent's Spine mountain range and land at the Avatar Symbol for the White Stone. You can also fly to Cove on the East shore of Lock Lake, otherwise accessed by entering a whirlpool while on a ship. ELEVATION AND EQUIPMENT. When you have all eight runes and mantras and are ready for elevation, meditate at each shrine for three minutes. After acquiring the items listed previously and talking to everyone for clues, buy the best weapons: three Magic Wands, three Magic Bows, one Crossbow, one Sling, and Armour for each character. Stock up on Reagents and food, then say "Join" to everyone in the eight major towns to recruit your party. The only tricky ones are the Shepherd (enter Magincia, exit the gate and go South along the wall) and Geoffrey, the Fighter in Jhelom who won't join until your party reaches a high enough level. Now head for the Dungeons. INTO THE DUNGEONS. Two goals await: Finding the Stones at the Altars and using them in the Altar Rooms to get the 3-part Key. The Dungeons are connected by the Altar Rooms, but all three Altars can be found in Hythloth - so you can save time by visiting it after acquiring all eight stones instead of going to the Altar Rooms in the other Dungeons. The Stones are also necessary for getting through the Stygian Abyss. You can raise your Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity by touching Magical Balls in the Dungeons. This will cost the character some hit points, which can be restored with a Heal Spell. The sections on each Dungeon tell how to find these balls, the Stones and the Altars. Peer at a gem when you first enter a Maze, then check it again and compare with the directions if you get disorientated. You can do them in any order; this path leads through the ones whose Magical Balls do the LEAST damage, to avoid depleting hit points too quickly. You'll have to decide which characters should touch a Ball, since they only work once. When told to go UP or DOWN, in these sections, this refers to using ladders, NOT casting those spells. The Dungeons are connected by the Altar Rooms, so always leave by the door you entered - especially in Dungeons accessible only by boat. Otherwise you'll emerge outside a faraway Dungeon when you cast an X-it Spell. THE DUNGEONS Name Lat. Long.
