ULTIMA IV DOCS. written by: Night Fisher! greetings to: Double Density, The guide, The D-Coder, Moon Knight (rad), The Animal, Adipodicus Intl..(???), Sunstar Warrior, and all others on Dial a Guru (great bbs!)...as well as the great folks on 68000 bbs, and Venture bbs! Thanks to Peter Wong (Major Major?) my buddy for giving me the spells for the game! Ya man! Let's get to it! Scenario!: ญญญญญญญญญญ You are on a quest! A quest of the Avatar! After the evil Exodus of Sosario was destroyed (Ultima III) Lord British Settled in his kindom of Britannia. Britannia is in a time where GREAT evil has been destroyed. However, Britannia lacks a leader of purity...one who acts upon all 8 virtues and who posseses the wisdom of The Chamber of the codex. You are the chosen one (as by Lord British). Your quest deals with gathering 7 other members of your party, and setting out on a journey to the chamber of the codex to attain this GREAT wisdom. Only an avatar (one who's great in all 8 virtues) may enter this chamber. There are many obstacles in your way! AVATARHOOD & SHRINES IN GENERAL: ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ To be an avatar, you must prove that you attain all 8 virtues! Then you meditate in the shrines of each virtue! To meditate in a shrine...you must bear the RUNE of that virtue! This Rune may be found in many places... among which may even be a room full of chests! (hint! hint!) When you are in a shrine, you must chant the mantra of that virtue (eg: boh). ABYSS: ญญญญญญ To enter the Abyss (which leads to the chamber of the codex) you must: 1. Be an Avatar 2. Have the Bell, The Book, and The Candle... 3. Have mystics (or magic weapons) to battle the vermins of the great styngian abyss! (not necessary to enter...but important to survive your trip to the codex) Chamber of the Codex: ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ The Chamber is at the bottom of the Abyss. The abyss itself is about 8 levels down. To enter the chamber, you must: 1. Be an Avatar 2. Have the Key to enter 3. Know FULLY about all 8 virtues...and where they were derived (truth, love, and courage). 4. Have 8 party members!!! 5. KNOW OF THE PURE AXIOM! The Key of entry to the Codex: ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ You must collect 8 stones and use them in the altar rooms at the bottom of the dungeons to make this key. The Stones (most of them) will be found at the bottom two levels of most of the dungeons...one per dungeon! Two stones are not at the bottom levels...one is near the top of one dungeon, and the other hidden somewhere on Britannia (the land itself). Dungeons: ญญญญญญญญ All the Dungeons are connected to 3 altar rooms! Therefore, you can travel from one dungeon to another by means of these rooms! Each dungeons have a range of monsters. Most of them are deadly! Let me warn you that when you go around a corner in a dungeon, it may not be 3D view! You will be in battle phase, and have to fight some monsters before you may pass! Sometimes you will have to look for secret doors (or even step on a secret spot on the ground) to trigger an opening so you can get through in these special rooms! Dungeons have various things in them. There are fountains (some cure poison, some poison you...some heal you, some hurt you!); there are Magic stones (some give you strength, some dexterity, some wisdom, etc.); there are traps; there are even some secret walls that lead somewhere! Cities and Castles: ญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญญ There are 8 cities based on each of the 8 virtues, and there are small towns that have VITAL information in them. You must speak to every person in each city. **(Speaking to city people!!!)** To speak to city people, you may ask: Name, health, and job...if they say anything, say the NOUN OR VERB (in other words, the subject) that they are talking about...example, if he says: I sing for the children...you either enter SING or CHILDREN for the person to continue telling you information. Sometimes they won't tell you much (this usually means that they are hiding something from you). For example, if Zorin says: Ask Minoc of Skull...then you must go to minoc and then say SKULL...understand? Minoc will not tell you anything unless you say that word! WHEN SPEAKING TO LORD BRITISH...SAY HEALTH IF SOMEONE IS EITHER DEAD, OR IF YOU WANT TO BE HEALED...HE WILL REPLY, AND ASK YOU IF YOU'RE OK...SAY NO IF YOU NEED TO BE HEALED! VISIT LORD BRITISH OFTEN TO RAISE YOUR LEVELS! (the higher level you are...the more Hitpoints you are allowed!) To raise levels, you need experience points...which is attained by killing a monster!
