::::::>> WALKTHROUGH <<::::::
Ok, since I've been getting TONS of netmail asking me to, I decided to write
this to help all you stuck Ultima fans out there. I've seen a couple solves
floating around already, but they were shaky at best, so here it goes...
: Note : There are essentially two ways to go about this game. You can either
follow Elizabeth and Abraham's trails and work on solving the murders, or you
can cut to the chase and do the important stuff. I decided to tell you how to
chase E&A, which takes a little longer, but gives you more enjoyment of the plot
development.
::: TRINSIC ::: You appear in Trinsic. Search the stables and get the key. Use
it on the chest in the dead guy's house (west side of town). The scroll is your
first clue that the Fellowship is not what they claim to be. Talk to the
victim's son, Spark, and Gilberto in the healer's. Talk to the mayor and get
permission to investigate outside of Trinsic. If any of you have "lost" your
documentation, drop me some email and I'll send you a patch that will
bypass the protection scheme in Trinsic.
::: BRITAIN ::: Skip Paws and go to Britain. Talk to Lord British, get the Orb
of the Moons (VERY useful). He'll tell you to find Rudyom in Cove. Talk to
Batlin at the Fellowship, and tell him you want to join the Fellowship. Take
the package to give to Elynor in Minoc. Also talk to the mayor, Millie, Gordon,
and Clint, the shipwright. You will learn the Elizabeth and Abraham have gone
to Minoc. Following this little goose chase is a good way to follow through on
what you need to do to finish the game. Also visit the museum and acquire the
moonstones (I like Iolo's little comments on this... :) I would also get the
Mark and Recall spells as soon as you are able.
::: COVE ::: Talk to Rudyom, get the wand and 4 pieces of blackrock. Read his
notebook. If you're a softie, talk to the girl at the shrine, she's a sure
thing. :)
::: MINOC ::: Surprise, surprise, another murder... Go to the sawmill ASAP.
Talk to everyone outside. Get the dagger from the murder scene. If you really
wanna learn about the Fellowship, open the package before giving it to Elynor.
You can still give it to her and Batlin will be a little miffed, but he'll still
let you join. Talk to Margareta, learn your fortune. Most of what follows will
help you fulfill your destiny. You will also learn in Minoc that Elizabeth and
Abraham have gone to Paws.
NOTE : Solving all of the little town mysteries is not necessary to finish the
game (a couple are, but most are just for kicks). If you're into maximum game
enjoyment, then I recommend you take the time to solve them.
:: PAWS :: Talk to Feridwyn. He'll say E&A (Eliz. and Abraham) have gone to
Jhelom. You can stay and solve the little "missing venom" mystery if you like.
It will give you practice on how to deal with people and get information from
them. Head to Jhelom. If you can't afford a ship by now, go to the western
entrance to the dungeon Despise (next the Lost Lake surrounded by mountains NW
of Britain) and get the flying carpet. Follow north shore of the river that
feeds the lake and it will be sitting there. Very useful item (and it's free!).
While you're in Paws, buy the hourglass from Beverlea and keep it in a safe
place.
:: JHELOM :: Talk to Joseph the mayor. He says E&A have left for Britain (of
course). While you are here, talk to DeSnel about the serpentine dagger you
found in Minoc. You can solve the mystery with Sprellic and the banner of
Honor, but it's not necessary. Keep in mind that killing townsfolk is ok ONLY
if they attack you first.
:: BRITAIN (again) :: Go to Britain again and talk to Batlin. He'll tell you
to go to Destard and find some Fellowship gold. Destard is located to the SW of
paws on the west side of the mountains. You don't have to go in, just go near
it. It's PACKED with treasure and gems and dragons, so be careful.
(Invisibility is almost a MUST here). There are also some glass swords in there
(save at least one for later...). Go back to Britain, and join the Fellowship
at 9pm that night (don't listen to your friends). There is another
documentation scheme here. Batlin will ask you 2 of 3 random questions I've
seen. Ginseng must be boiled 40 times and Mandrake can be found in 2 places in
Britannia. I think the answer to the picture question is 6. Trial and error
will help if that's the wrong answer. Make sure you wear your Fellowship
amulet, it will effect the way some characters treat you. Looks like E&A have
headed towards Vesper.
:: VESPER :: Find Auston the mayor. He's not a Fellowship branch leader, but
he has talked to E&A. He will refer you to Cador, who tells you they went to
Moonglow. This is an interesting town. Be careful what you say if you go into
the gargoyle tavern...
:: MOONGLOW :: Very important city... Talking to Rankin, the Fellowship branch
leader, will reveal that E&A have moved on (surprise surprise) to Terfin, the
island home of the Gargoyles. While you are here you need to awaken Penumbra
who has been asleep since your last visit to Britannia. Next to the door of her
house is a plaque. By reading it repeatedly, you will learn how to open the
door (by placing a hammer, gold ring, lockpick, spindle of thread, and some
other form of gold next to the plaque). This will open the door. Once in side,
awaken Penumbra with your Awaken cantrip or by using a potion. She will say she
needs some blackrock to shield her room before she can continue to help you.
Well, what do you know? If you've followed along closely, you should have 4
chunks of it with you. Put them on the pedestals in her room and talk to her
again. She will tell you to find the Ethereal Ring. This would be a good place
to cast a Mark spell so you can return when you've found the Ring. Terfin would
be a good place to start.
:: TERFIN :: Talk to everyone, especially Draxinusom and Quan. E&A have headed
to the Meditation Retreat. You can solve the altar conspiracy here if you like,
but it's not necessary. You will also learn that the Ethereal Ring is on the
isle of Spektran (NW of Terfin). You will get the ring later.
:: MEDITATION RETREAT :: If you go to the Retreat (NOT necessary at this point,
you will return later...) you will learn that Ian will only permit entrance to
Fellowship members (which you are, I hope...). You will learn that E&A have
gone to Buccaneer's Den. Before you pursue them any further you must find the
omniscient Time Lord. The first step is to go to Empath Abbey west of Yew.
:: EMPATH ABBEY :: Talk to Taylor the monk. He will tell you about the Emps
that live in the woods. If you've seen them, you'll know they won't speak to
you (unless you have some honey). Go to the Bee Cave and get two or three
clumps of honey. The Bee Cave is no big deal. I found that you could basically
run right through the bees and they won't really give a shit. Use the smoke
bomb if you get in trouble.
:: EMPS & WOODS :: With the honey, you are able to talk to Trellek the Emp
about finding the Wisps. If you're having troubles finding the Emps, look for
the giant white Silverleaf trees in the woods. Trellek will need permission
from Saralek who needs permission from Solomon, the Emp leader. Solomon will
give you a written agreement to have Ben the woodsman sign to stop the
destruction of the Silverleaf trees. Ben's cabin is on the very western edge of
the forest near the shore. When you've gotten the treaty signed, Solomon will
grant you permission to take Trellek to the Wisps, but Saralek changes her mind.
Instead of going with you, Trellek will give you a whistle to call the Wisps
with (that was easy, huh? :) Head to Spiritwood to find the Wisps (near
Destard). They can also be found in the abandoned fortress they've inhabited
somewhere near Yew woods.
:: THE WISPS :: Blow the whistle when you're near a Wisp and it will talk to
you. They will offer you information if you bring them Alagner's notebook.
They will also give you valuable information on the Guardian. Off to New
Magincia!
:: NEW MAGINCIA :: Alagner will agree to give you his notebook if you answer
the questions of Life and Death. This must be done by asking the Tortured One
in Skara Brae.
It might save time if you Mark Alagner's house so you can return his notebook
quickly later. If you haven't acquired a Seance spell yet, go get one and head
towards Skara Brae on foot.
:: SKARA BRAE :: Use the Seance spell and hitch a ride from the Ferryman.
Destroyed by an accidental fire, Skara Brae is home of the Dead. Talk to
everyone (especially Mordra). Make sure you pick up the Mandrake Essence (the
glowing potion), an empty vial, a curing potion, and potion of Invisibility at
Mordra's pad. Go to the Smithy and talk to Trent. Take the music box and go to
the Dark Tower in the NW edge of the isle. Use the music box near Rowena and
take her ring to Trent. Take the finished cage and go to the Alchemist's.
Caine won't answer the questions until you destroy the Liche. Plug the three
potions and the empty vial into the thingamajig and turn the burner on. If you
did it right, a sparkling blue potion should fill up the vial. Take that and
the cage to the Dark Tower. Go to the back of the Tower (through the fake wall
by the stairs) and use the cage on the Well. Go to the throne room and wait for
midnight. When Horance lies down, plop the cage over him and use the potion.
Horance says you need to find someone to sacrifice. Talk to Forsythe the mayor.
Now you get to find and talk to EVERYONE in the town, including those who you've
talked to already. After everyone refuses to sacrifice themselves, Forsythe
will agree. Take him to the Well and destroy it. Go to Caine and learn that
there are NO answers to Life and Death (you MUST still do this).
:: TIME LORD :: Go to New Magincia, and tell him there are no Answers. Get the
key, find the notebook in his storeroom and take it to the Wisps. Use your Orb
to beam to the Time Lord. He will direct you to the dungeon Despise to destroy
the ether-screwing generator. Before you can follow up on this, you need to
destroy the generator found in Deceit. In order to do this, you need the
aforementioned Ethereal Ring (ie Spektran!). If you go to Alagner's to return
his notebook, you'll find him dead (very dead, actually). Use his crystal ball
and you'll get your first glimpse at the much sought Elizabeth, Abraham, Hook,
and Forskis...
:: SPEKTRAN :: The door to the Sultan's place should open when you approach it.
As you will see, the Sultan is somewhat of a loony. You need to kill his harpy
and take its key. The harpy can be easily killed using invisibility or a glass
sword (make sure you still have at least one glass sword when you leave here.
It's ok if you don't, but it will save you much heartache later...). To reach
the room with the ring you need to stack the crates on the table (three high I
think...). Now head to Moonglow and have Penumbra enchant the ring.
:: DECEIT :: This dungeon isn't too tough, but what's inside the generator IS.
Follow all the hallways and find the false walls (try walking into the dark
areas and you'll see what I mean). You can talk to the Cyclops if you want, but
it's not necessary. Before you approach the generator, drop all your party
members and put on the Ring. Inside the generator is the ugliest, toughest
fucker in the whole game (he's the one you've been saving the glass sword for).
I didn't have any more glass swords by the time I got here and still killed him,
so don't fret. By cornering him and using LOTS of healing and protection
potions, you can do it with any magical weapon. Click on the box in the middle
of the room and watch as the generator collapses. There should be a miniature
tetrahedron sitting on the ground. GET IT and get out of Deceit. Now Nicodemus
(in the "chessboard house" in Yew) is able to enchant your hourglass, which is
needed to approach the next generator in Despise.
:: DESPISE :: DON'T enter the northeastern entrance to Despise. It's good for
experience, but not necessary. Use the entrance on the Lake (the one where you
found the flying carpet). I won't get into the details of Despise, but you need
to get around the teleporters and follow the tunnels east of the entrance. The
tunnels will burrow around to the SW side of the lake and you'll find the
Spherical Generator.
You'll find a moongate puzzle inside. The correct sequence is RED, BLUE, BLUE,
RED. Pick up the small Sphere and leave (via Recall if possible :) One more
generator to go!
:: MEDITATION RETREAT AGAIN :: This place is pretty much a bore, except for the
cave that you're not allowed to enter (ooo! are you shaking??). By this point
in the game you should have gotten a feel for what the Fellowship is about
(nothing good, that's for sure...). In the cave is the Cube generator. You
won't be able to approach it, but you should Mark it so you can beam back later.
After reaching the Cube, contact the Time Lord by using the hourglass. He will
tell you to find a mineral called Caddellite. This is found on the Isle of
Ambrosia.
:: AMBROSIA :: This island is kinda hidden. It's located in the NE sea of
Britannia. If you've been using the map from the game package or the one found
in the game itself, you won't be able to see Ambrosia because it's under the
little compass icon in the upper right corner. It's a large island and
shouldn't be too hard to find. Inside a cave on this island is where the
Caddellite is found. It's guarded by a three headed Hydra. Surprisingly the
Hydra is huge wimp and croaks quickly in combat. You'll need one chunk of
Caddellite per party member (or just one if you plan on approaching the Cube
alone. You can't take your party members inside anyway...). Take the
Caddellite to Zorn in Minoc and he will fashion helmets for you.
:: MEDITATION RETREAT again ::: Beam back to the Cube and go inside wearing
your special helmet. The puzzle inside involves walking on certain spots of the
walkway that trigger the bridges to other parts. Trouble is, some spots remove
other bridges as well. I could go on for a page or two on how to solve it, but
it would be easier just to tell you to save the game a lot and do it yourself.
It's hard, but not impossible. Just look out for the fire fields and fireballs.
Another hint: you'll cover almost 100% of the walkways before you're able to get
to the center. After the Cube crumbles, take the little cube and head to
Buccaneer's Den.
:: BUCCANEER'S DEN :: Now you're after the ever elusive E&A and the killer
Hook. Possession of the little Cube forces the truth out of people who would
normally lie to you (ie most people in Bucc. Den...). Talking to Danag at the
Fellowship Branch will reveal much about Hook, Elizabeth, Abraham, and the
fucked up Fellowship. Talk to Sintag at the House of Games and get the key from
him. The door in the Games leads into the mountain passages where Hook's
hideout is. In his hideout, you'll find the navigational plans for the ever
elusive Crown Jewel, and the Black Gate key used to get past the barrier on the
Isle of the Avatar. Also in his hideout is a list of people the Fellowship has
eliminated (with you and ol' LB yet to go). There's nothing much else in those
tunnels, except for a some torture chambers used by the Fellowship and a couple
worthless prisoners. Off to the Black Gate!
:: ISLE OF THE AVATAR :: If you're not 8th level by this time and able to cast
some major kickass spells, you might want to do some experience-collecting
before going here. The key from Hook's place will allow you to pass the barrier
on the south side of the island and get into the dungeon. This dungeon is
rather long and hard. A couple tips:
- It is not necessary to kill the dragon. Lots of
cool goodies though! (ie a Glass Sword that will be
handy soon)
- The Chair of Change teleports you to one of 3 places
in the dungeon if you sit in it. At each location it
takes you, examine all the walls for hidden passages.
- Sitting in the Throne of Virtue (or whatever its
called) will make the Chair of Change take you to a
fourth place, necessary to get to the Gate.
- In the "Fellowship Hall" try fiddling with the
medallion.
- Watch out for the Paladin guarding one of the last
doors, he's an asskicker (use a Glass Sword if you
have one...).
- Take the mage's spellbook from his room. It's
fully loaded!
- If you still can't find the Black Gate room, try
looking for any keys you might have missed. Also
poke on every wall you see, there's lots of
illusionary walls.
:: THE BLACK GATE :: Ah, the gang's all here! After some little bickering,
they will attack you. I had troubles winning this battle hand-to-hand until I
found a useful little spell called Death Vortex. If you use it, DON'T cast it
on an enemy. Cast it on YOURSELF. This spell is useful to say the least.
After everyone croaks (except the little weasel Batlin) you'll be left with the
choice of returning home, or using Rudyom's Wand (you still have it I hope!) on
the Gate. The animated sequence at the end of the game is kinda short, but
_completely_ amazing.

MISC. HINTS & SUGGESTIONS
Look out for secret walls which may act as a door to secret passages
or other rooms. They will be identified as "Wall" with a capital
when clicked upon. D-click them to open.
Watch out for illusions, especially in mountain passages. Walk against
the walls of the passage and you may find yourself walking through it!
Illusions are quite common under stairs; treasure or another hidden
stair.
Set a specific place to drop items (somewhere accessible, like near a
serpent gate). You never know if it may prove important.
Try not to allow yourself to be resurrected by the monks (don't die!).
This is as you'll be teleported to other locations. Sometimes you'll
find yourself in places you're not supposed to be in.
eg: getting killed in the Mts of Freedom; you may be teleported out
of the mountains with the Black Sword (not supposed to happen).
Talk to everyone. Make sure you've followed up all their keywords;
even if they still keep saying the same thing. Sometimes the
conversation game flags are set by talking to people only after doing
something.
Finally, save your game frequently. Back up your savegames if you've
got the space... you never know when you'll need to go way back.
************************************************************************
WALKTHRU
Start:
Head South along the coastline. Your companions will be struck by
lightning and dissappear. Continue on past the bridge, you'll meet
Thoxa. She'll give you the Hourglass of Fate after some questions.
Karnax appears and a battle ensues. Thoxa tells you to seek your
three companions; you won't succeed without them and to look out for
three items which will enable the Power from the Void to communicate
with you.
Further South, Shamino rejoins you. He'll make a list of strange items
which were swapped with your items. Next, the cave with the invisible
entrance, marked by a large red bush (some useful items).
Monitor:
Flicken at the southwest Monitor gate, orders you to see Lord Marsten
at the crematorium. It's North of the gate (Northwest of Monitor).
Talk to Cantra on your way there; hints on the Test of Knighthood.
Renfry, the undertaker directs you to the crypts where the funeral is
taking place (behind the curtains).
Talk to Marsten, Lord of Monitor, Leader of Leopard command. He gives
you the password to take the Test of Knighthood: "Courage is the Soul
of Life". He tells you a white-haired enchanter (Iolo) who appeared
during the funeral is in jail. Dupre rejoins the party and adds to the
list of strange items.
Caladin tells you that his grandfather's urn has been stolen from the
crypts. He gives you some essential instructions on the Knights Test.
In the crypts, note the pedestal with the crossbow. Plaque reads:
Caladin Golden-Tongued Knight. Caladin's grandfather's urn has been
replaced with a crossbow. Iolo's?
In the Jail, northeast of the city, Iolo pleads you to talk with
Marsten to win his freedom.
Marsten, upon telling him that Iolo is your friend and lightning was
the reason for his unusual appearance, still refuses to let him go.
Will only release him to a knight.
Renfry, the undertaker will pay 100 monetari for each dead pikeman's
body brought to him for cremation. He tells you Batlin was involved
in a theft at Andral's shop.
Andral, the Artisan suspects Batlin stole his blacrock serpent.
Simon, innkeeper of Sleeping Soldier gives you some info on recent
visitors; four underlings accompanied Batlin:
a warrior (Brunt), had disagreement with Standarr
a sailor, Deadeye was with Shazzana
a hooded man (the gargoyle Palos).
Accept Simon's offer to try the fawnish ale... puke!
Spektor, the treasurer will exchange currency. He tells you Gwenno
went to the library in Monk Isle.
Harnna, Healer of Monitor, Cantra's mother. Gives you information
about people in Monitor, places and strange objects.
plain shield : ask if anyone lost their shield
strange hairbrush : see Templar
Tip:
When asking her for info, don't ask more than two things. She'll
end the conversation and refuse to give any more info until
later. Ask her two things, end the conversation then talk again.
Note:
If you get thrown into jail, look under the corspe in your cell
for a hidden/camouflaged lever.
Knight's Test:
Shmed; agree to take the test. Take note of his instructions.
Note: you'll only be wearing leather armour and mace.
Run through the first corridor (explosions). Two gremlins appear as
you get close to the chest; not an easy fight.
Tip: you can skip combat by "stealing" the chest from a distance.
Hit the chest a few times; get the yellow key which unlocks door to
east and door to north after that.
Pile some rocks (form stairs) to get the key on the monolith. There
are snakes under rocks; stay in combat mode.
Next, the room to the south; cyclops appears in the center.
Tip: you can use the fire/lightningbolts to kill him. Get the key to
the next east door.Ignore the door by the bag of potions.
Follow the passage until you reach:
__
|c | c - chests (trapped)
| | | | ___ x - illusionary wall
| |__|c |__________| | k - key
| __ x__________ k |
| | |c | |___|
| | | |
| | |c_|
Ignore the four booby-trapped chests. Walk through the illusion to get
the next key. After the next door, go south a bit, get the grey key
and use the lever; secret Wall opens. Get the blue-red key. The two
keys should get you through the next two doors.
Go north; you'll find the Claw and a scroll with instructions.
Go south of the last door; you'll meet a pikeman assasin. Kill him and
read the scroll on his body. (Cremate his body; 100 monetari)
There's a secret Wall near where the assasin appeared; between two
torches a doorwidth apart.
Use the Claw on yourself, then the bloodied Claw on the Ashes of
Gurnordir; kill the wolf that appears. The blue key in it's body
unlocks the door out (to south). Bring the wolf back to Monitor.
Note: Drink water from fountain to regain strength.
At the exit, Shmed will appear and attack you. Read the note on his
body. His key opens the main door of the Test.
Outside, ask Dupre and Shamino to rejoin. Your belongings are in
Shmed's chests.
Monitor:
Give the wolf meat to Lucilla at the Slashing Sword.
Give the wolf to Cellia the Furrier for the Cloak of Knighthood
(need to come back in 24 hours for it).
Get your Tattoo of Knighthood from Lydia (use the mirror!).
She tells you her sister Selenia was taken to Moonshade to be a mage.
Shortly after, you'll fall ill. See Harnna for healing (no need to pay
for healing). Get the instructions about getting the cure: Varo leaves
from Delphynia, the herbalist at Fawn. Harnna deduces you were poisoned
from the tattoo.
Fawn:
Outside Fawn, kill the goblins which captured Fawn Tower; the pikemen
will takeover.
At the bridge into Fawn, you'll meet a guard. Ruggs will approach you.
Accept his request to take a love letter to Delphynia.
Delphynia, healer of Fawn and horticulturist. Give her Rugg's letter;
agree to carry a letter back to Ruggs. She tells you of Alyssand's
ring (the one you've got). Get the five Varo leaves and head back to
Monitor immediately.
Ruggs is waiting outside Fawn; give him the letter from Delphynia.
He tells you of Scots the cartographer and his maps of Serpent Isle.
Monitor:
See Harnna immediately, she'll heal you with the Varo leaves. Then see
Lydia. She'll admit to poisoning you; kill her.
Collect the Cloak of Knighthood and proceed to the Banquet Hall.
Harnna interrupts the banquet; Cantra is missing. Accusations are
thrown about; fighting erupts - end of banquet.
Tip: Talk to everyone while they're there.
Ask Marsten to release Iolo; vouch for his behaviour. He gives you the
key to Iolo's cell.
Note: you can free Iolo earlier by paying a fine to Spektor.
Harnna, asks you to look into the crystal ball. Cantra has been
abducted by Batlin. Agree to search for Cantra. She gives you Cantra's
wooden sword and instructs you to seek the Hound of Doskar.
Ask her of Iolo's urn: Caladin's grandfather's ashes. Return it to
Caladin for reward of 200 monetari.
Lucilla tells you that Luther has a new, magical shield.
Note: You need to ask Harnna about the shield for this keyword.
Luther denies and refuses to return Dupre's shield. Insult and enrage
him as much as possible; challenges you to a duel. Train with him in
the List Field. You should be able to defeat him with a sword or a
halberd; ask him to return the magic shield
Note: You still get to keep the Monitor shield, bug?
Krayg, the provisioner. Asks you to look for clues to traitor's
identity at the goblin meeting place in the Knight's Forest, north of
Knight's Test. Look for the strange black obelisk (monolith, 82S,18W).
Go there and pick up the clue; a bottle of fawnish ale. The companions
will alert you. The bottle is identical to the one Simon offered you.
Go back to Monitor, talk to Caladin or Templar. They'll tell you to
see Lucilla. She'll tell you that only Simon drinks fawnish ale.
Confront Simon. Accuse him of lying, he'll turn into a goblin!
Near death, he asks you to take revenge on goblin king Pomdirgun and
gives you the location of the goblin camp: Great Dead Tree in
Knight's Forest (69S,33W). 3 keys in his body: grey - opens chest;
rust - inn rooms; blue-red - entrance to Goblin hideout.
Templar gives you some hints on attacking goblins and tells you
someone is stealing from the treasury.
Spektor asks you not to tell anyone of the thief, fearing panic.
GOBLIN HIDEOUT
Go down the stairs hidden by the huge tree (northern end of forest).
Use Simon's blue-red key to unlock the door. Go down the stairs by the
sign "Watch thy Head". Fight the goblins by the campfire. From here,
keep going North as far as possible (past two sets of barrels).
The stairs on the left lead down to a pool of strength. On the other
side of the pool, go up the stairs. Leads to another stair up. And
another one up. Fight the bats and keep going NW as possible.
The passage eventually goes directly North.
Keep following the passage North, past the circle of standing stones
(poison fields erupt in a circle, chest of poison potion in center).
You'll find the treasury next (on right, locked) guarded by goblins.
The passage leads out into a valley of the goblin encampment.
Kill Pomdirgun, King of Goblins. The brown key on his body unlocks
the treasury door. Get the Helm of Courage and letters (evidence of
Marsten and Spektor being traitors).
Note: What's the brown key in Pomdirgun's crate in his room for?
Lead the knight imprisoned in the goblin camp back to Monitor. He dies
on the way back (bring his body back).
Monitor:
Give the evidence to Caladin (or Brendann); Marsten and Spektor are
arrested. See them in jail. They tell you of a exploding powder
(created by Standarr). Spektor confesses to killing Cantra's father.
Lucilla gives you a pink key belonging to Spektor, which unlocks the
door at invisible entrance to the secret cave (mountainside near
Harnna's house 154S,12W). You'll find powder kegs, treasure and the
body of Cantra's father; read Cantra's note - tell Harnna.
Fellowship camp outside Fawn:
Scots, the cartographer gives you a map of Serpent Isle (not very
accurate, but extremely useful).
Leon, Fellowship speaker. Babbles about the Fellowship's philosophy
and asks you to join. Tell him the Fellowship has been disbanded and
outlawed in Brittania.
Alyssand, daughter of Delin the provisioner, sells provisions (chart).
Ask her about the ring; returns your magic gauntlets. Join the Cause
to expose the fraud of the Oracle.
Zulith the Chancellor of Fawn; following you around. He will arrange
an audience with Lady Yelinda. He exchanges currency in Fawn.
Fawn
A magic storm breaks out and a lute materializes at Iolo's feet.
He picks it up and is asked to play.
Kylista, Priestess of Beauty. Give her the ceremonial breastplate.
She'll ask you to come by her room later to get your magic armour
(Don't bother, just go get it from her room).
Delin, provisioner of Fawn (speak to him when Alyssand's around, more
interesting). Delin sells provisions at same price as Alyssand
(haggling may be different). His Freli was taken to Moonshade to be
trained as a mage; wants word of him.
Jendon, proprietor of the Broken Oar inn; sells food, drink and room.
(see chart). He provides you information of strange items, people and
places.
Kalen, the Fellowship sailor, attacks you while in Fawn on Batlin's
orders. He tells you Batlin will soon have powers greater that dreamt.
Jorvin, approaches you; Lady Yelinda will grant an audience at the
throne room after noon.
Lady Yelinda gives Iolo a white diamond necklace for Gwenno. Toasts
are made. Dupre makes a slip and toasts to Lord British... The Lady
yells blasphemy and Dupre is imprisoned (entire group is attacked).
You wake up in the rooms of the Broken Oar. A letter at the bedside
requests your presence at the temple for Dupre's trial. Proceed to the
Temple of Beauty. Trial begins; a sham. A recess is called, Dupre
appoints you to defend him.
During the recess, Alyssand gives you a glowing yellow key; unlocks
temple door (beside sign "Donations Welcome"). Go down the stairs,
flick the switch opposite Dupre's cell. You'll find Voldin with the
set of levers which control the Oracle. Kill him.
Numbering the levers 1 - 5 from left to right: use lever 3 then 5.
The Oracle speaks. Get the Oracle to change the revelation and to say
that the trial is corrupt.
See Alyssand again and ask her about the Cause. This enables the Trial
to continue (You may have to wait a day).
Back at the Temple, the Oracle reveals Dupre's innnocence and Kylista
and Voldin's guilt. Jorvin arrests Kylista (visit her in jail!).
Get the brown key at the palace (in room East of the throne room);
unlocks the door (in the throne room) leading to serpent gate.
Note:
Being thrown in jail in Fawn requires a little foresight. Unlock
the cell doors before being caught. Or you could kill yourself
with the iron maiden and be resurrected by the monks.
Sleeping Bull
Miggim, Xenkan monk, librarian at Monk Isle. Warns you that an attempt
will be made on your life but will not tell you who to avoid.
Devra, runs the Sleeping Bull sells food, drink and room. Return her
slippers in exchange for your swamp boots. Silverpate the pirate hid
treasure somewhere before dissappearing.
Kane, a sheepherder. Waiting for Captain Hawk to get to Moonshade;
looking for his brother Edrin, who dissappeared during a storm but
found Ale the parrot instead. Hawk got into fight, pikemen took him.
Flindo, the merchant gives you some information on Moonshade and
Ensorcio's exile. He will get you an audience with the Magelord
but you'll have to see him in Moonshade.
Byrin, the gleeman. Get him to sing some songs (information).
Argus, the innkeeper of Sleeping Bull tells you Captain Hawk is
held at the Bull Tower until fine is paid.
Selina asks for your protection, apparently afraid of dissapearing.
Comes from Moonshade. (Lydia's sister?)
Ensorcio, exiled mage from Moonshade. Batlin took his serpent jawbone.
He will sell you spells (see chart) and the secret of making
bloodspawn from stoneheart.
Sleeping Bull Cellar:
On the northern wall, there's a secret Wall between the casks of wine;
leads you to a room. The switch opens the sliding door. Get the key.
Down the steps at the sliding door, use the key to unlock the cells.
Read the note on the corpse (about the wardrobe room and getting to
the serpent gate)
Wardrobe Room: (west of cells)
There's an invisible chest along the northern wall.
The fountains: NW invisibility, SW cursed, SE sleep, NE awaken
Five chests line the western wall. The second one from the south holds
the map to Silverpate's treasure. The brass key unlocks the door to
the main switch in the centre of the room. (The main switch must be
enabled to use the others). Using the switches teleports you to the
various rooms in the inn (numbered below).

East of the Wardrobe room, there is a secret passage directly opposite
two torches a doorwidth apart; leads to the serpent gate. The chests
contain The Dark Path map (serpent gates layout). The key unlocks
the door to the teleport (sends you back to the inn).
Bull Tower:
Ask to pay Captain Hawk's fine; the pikemen will ask for 100 monetari
initially. When Shamino tells them you have more, the pikemen asks for
more than what you have.
Back at Sleeping Bull inn, Selina approaches you and offers you a share
of the treasure at the storm-struck lighthouse. Agree to go with her,
but do not leave your companions behind (remember Thoxa's words).
Selina gives you a rust-brown key (unlocks Mint door). Also, get the
glowing blue key in her backpack (note: doesn't allow you to remove her
blink ring). Ask her directions to the mint; follow the coast north,
then head east.
At the Mint, get all the gold you can carry (especially gold bars).
Once out of the Mint, you're attacked by a group of mercenaries.
Selina abandons you using her blink ring. Kill the mercenaries, and
read the note: Batlin sent them to ambush you, knowing that you'll be
at the Mint (Selina set you up).
Note:
While on your journey to the mint, you might cross the explosive
maker factory. The ghost of the Chaos Hierophant is not meant to
be there (bug). Try not to talk to him here (though its quite safe
to do so)
Return to Bull Tower. Pay Hawks fine with gold bars (tip: drop all but
one gold bar before paying fine). You'll get a key to Hawk's cell.
Talk to Hawk to set him free, asks you to see him at the pub.
Wilfred, Knight of Bear Command (appears after freeing Hawk).
He's looking for his father's murderer, Batlin.
Additional Note:
Just south of Sleeping Bull, you'll find a hollow tree (117S,36E).
There you'll find a brown key. This unlocks an invisible chest
ontop the monolith at 100S,39E. Stack some crates to get it.
Captain Hawk, agrees to take you to Moonshade.
To get to Moonshade, go to the docks and get onto the ship.
Captain Hawk, Kane, Ale and Flindo will come on board; you're off.
Moonshade
Captain Hawk tells you he won't be sailing back to mainland.
You can find him at the Blue Boar Inn.
At the Seminarium school of mages; Fedabiblio, Magister of Moonshade.
He gives you some info on Moonshade and Batlin's visit. He asks you
to bring him three fresh mandrake roots (only from Monk Isle swamps)
in exchange for a spellbook.
Freli, long-lost son of Delin gives you a letter for Delin. He tells
you Batlin purchased spells from Torrissio.
An automaton brings you a scroll from Rotoluncia, the Red Sorceress.
Use the scroll; Rotoluncia speaks. Refuse to tell her the secret of
controlling daemons.
Mortegro the Necromage. will only sell spells to a mage. See him for
seances (informative).
Torrissio, mage specializing in automatons (see chart). He wants the
stockings back, DON'T give it to him.
Topo, artisan apprentice for Ducio, sells food, weapons and supplies.
He'll buy gems from you at 100 guilders each.
Rocco, runs the Blue Boar inn (see charts). He gives you info on
visitors and locals.
Petra, the automaton at the Blue Boar inn tells you Mosh loves fish
(Buy some from Petra for Mosh).
Flindo, owns the Capessi Canton (provision store) tells you Bucia
believes Pothos is connected to Erstam.
Flindo promises to arrange for the Magelord to meet with you.
You need to return to Flindo to ask of this promise later; you'll be
summoned to the Magelord's banquet at the appropriate time
(a few minutes later, you're teleported to Filbercio's castle).
The Banquet:
Present are: Filbercio, Gustacio, Rotoluncia and Frigidazzi.
Rotoluncia attacks you, Gustacio jumps to your defense. Pothos enters
informing Filbercio that the search for blood moss was a failure. The
banquet ends.
Bucia runs the Capessi Canton, sells supplies and provisions.
She gives you information on people, places and strange items.
fur cap : Magelord bought for Frigidazzi
apparatus : see Ducio the Master Artisan
bottle of wine : see Julia, Chief of Rangers at the Winery
(don't show her the egg; it offends her)
Bucia also exchanges currency (takes gold nuggets, bars and jewellery).
She tells you that Pothos has an uncanny resemblance to Erstam
Note: She only tells you this after the banquet.
Pothos, the Apothecarist, sells potions, reagents and magic items.
Offers to buy your stoneheart. Tells you how to make bloodspawn:
Use a ritual blooding device (on yourself). Fill a container with
blood. Use blood on stoneheart. The result will be bloodspawn.
He offers to trade his secret for some blood moss (swamps south of
Moonshade).
Note: For this keyword to appear, talk to Bucia about Pothos.
Get the blood moss from the swamps (right in the middle). Give the
blood moss to Pothos; he tells you how to contact his father, Erstam.
To contact Erstam,
go to the docks north of the Mts of Freedom. Ring the bell and
chant the given mantra. A sea creature (turtle) will take you
to Erstam's island. Give Erstam the password: Iskatradeeth.
Note: Key to Pothos' vault is under his chair (see cheat notes also).
Right after speaking to Pothos, Shamino is kidnapped. Pothos tells you
to see Fedabiblio, who in turn instructs you to see the Magelord.
Note: You can go straight to Filbercio without talking to anyone.
Tell Filbercio you suspect Rotoluncia kidnapped Shamino. He instructs
you to search her manor. There, an automaton attacks you after being
questioned. Rotoluncia can't be found there.
(Get her serpent tooth (Furnace) while you're there)
Filbercio then suggests you look in his love palace, in the middle of
the Lake of Enchantment; gives you permission to use his yatch.
Filbercio's love palace:
The key in the drawers upstairs unlocks the gate in the cellar.
Rotolucia attacks when Iolo says you don't know the secret to
controlling daemons. She has two keys: one unlocks the same gate at
the foot of the stairs. The other unlocks Shamino's cell, teleporter
gate and the teleport door in Filbercio's castle.
Notes:
A lever behind Filbercio's throne opens the secret Wall to the
treasury. The key to the chests is under a plant in his bedroom.
There is a secret Wall (north) in the jail holding cell, if you
get jailed for some reason.
Isle of the Mad Mage
Follow Pothos' instructions to contact Erstam.
Note:
You cannot do this until you've solved the kidnapping case.
The serpent will tell you: you've forgotten something.
Erstam, the Mad Mage claims the apparatus belongs to him and takes it
back. He instructs you to look into his telescope to see the origin of
the blue egg. He initially pretends not to know of teleportation,
but Vasel interrupts indicating otherwise.
Vasel, Erstam's latest assistant tells you of the serpent jawbone
belonging to Erstam.
Erstam agrees to tell you the secret of teleportation if you get for
him a phoenix egg. Agree; you'll be teleported to an island. Wander
around a bit you'll find a switch beside lava. Using it causes a
phoenix to be reborn, which rewards you with a phoenix egg.
There is teleporter back to Erstam's Isle.
Help Erstam with the experiment. Put the phoenix egg into the hopper
on top of the Life Creation Machine with a complete set of bodyparts
(head, torso, arms and legs). The result: Boydon is recreated.
Erstam gives you the key to his storeroom outside the manor and a
serpent tooth (Erstam's Isle). He gives you two more teeth when
you return with the jawbone (Moonshade & Monk Isle)
Boydon, the monster asks to join; ask Erstam's permission for this.
Erstam tells you that once destroyed, no force can recreate Boydon.
Monk Isle
Use the serpent jawbone to get to Monk Isle. (put all teeth into the
jawbone, d-click the serpent gate)
Draxta tells you some prophecies. (Read the Book of Prophecies on the
altar). Meet her at the Place of Visions on the north-western edge of
the fields to see a vision; Petra.
Nameless Monk, Child of the Corn, offers his supply of dried mandrake
roots in his hut. He tells you fresh mandrake roots can be found in
the swamp when the tides are right (see him later, he'll tell you the
tides have receded).
Collect the mandrake around the swamp (brown, man-like shape).
Ruins in swamp: The key in the hollow tree (SE of ruins) unlocks the
gate to the Ophidian ruins underneath. You'll find another key in the
Ophidian ruin (in corpse). This unlocks the other gate (east). There
is a key on the corpse camouflaged by the tree in the second ruin.
This unlocks the gate to the Serpent Gate.
Moonshade
Give the Mandrake roots to Fedabiblio in exchange for a spellbook
(asks you three questions).
Mosh, the Rat Woman tells you to listen to Columna.
Listen to what Columna says about Mosh then return to Mosh, tell her
you believe her story. She tells you of Columna's Comb of Beauty.
Give her some fish and she'll give you a magic harp which will put
the Ratmen to sleep.
Get the Comb of Beauty from Columna's manor. There's a secret Wall on
the north wall, leading into the scrub. Look for a chest. The key to
unlock the chest is in Columna's cellar.
Frigidazzi (doesn't appear until you get the spellbook). Return her
fur cap for your magic helm. She asks you to meet her after midnight
to learn spells. Apparently, she has other ideas... you end up
angering Filbercio and thrown in the legendary Mountains of Freedom.
Note: Key to Frigidazzi's lab under pot of plants
Mountains of Freedom
You'll only have your reagents, spellbook, Hourglass of Fate, a staff
and scale armour (so stock up on reagents and spells beforehand).
You're greeted by an automaton; kill him and get the necessary key
(keep it, many of the doors in the labyrinth have the same lock).
Get what you need from the store.
There is a secret passage behind the sign "escape is futile". Head to
the south, you'll find another secret passage (marked by trail of
blood, guarded by nagas). Keep going south till the teleport.
The next room is occupied by a mage capable of morphing into a bear.
He'll run away when defeated.
Note: This mage has Dragon Breath.
The teleporter brings you to Stephano; get him to join (you need him).
(Note: Interesting story about the mage Cellenia; Selena)
In the next room, get the yellow key in the bag. You'll then meet a
guard with the Black Sword; it'll jump to your possession.
The Sword urges you to release him; _DON'T_.
Teleport to the next passage, use the yellow key on the left door.
You should see a sequence involving Lorthondo turning his minion to
a skeletal dragon.
Bug Note:
Some people may encounter a bug here where you enter the room,
stand in front of Lorthondo (no kneeling guy) and the game hangs.
Try restoring and use the cheat mode to teleport to the room.
If there is a guy kneeling to Lorthondo, then everything's OK.
If not, use the cheat to get into the room to get the key.
(Just skip the skeletal dragon sequence)
Get the key in Lorthondo's room, then head back east. Grab what you
want from the chests (they're trapped, but a solid whack with the
Black Sword should do the trick). Use the levers with Stephano's help
(this is where you need him).
Use a telekinesis scroll on the winch, lowering the drawbridge.
Kill the old man. The room with levers is next.
Note the original position of the levers; the idea is to get the
opposite positions on all of them.
Open the woman's cell (Sabrina); lead her to the nightmare (horse).
The horse kills Sabrina. Get the carrots and the key. The key unlocks
the chest in the supply room (scroll gives you a clue what to do).
Drop the carrot in front of the rabbit; changes to a woman who rewards
you with a bouquet of flowers. Give these to the ranger who's pining
for his girlfriend in the next room. He fixes the stucked lever.
Use previously stucked lever; opens room with hollow tree.
The teleporter sends you to a clearing with a blue lever; use this.
You'll be teleported back. Use the SW lever to open the sliding doors
to the south.
The fire in the circle of stones goes out as you approach. Enter the
circle and you'll be teleported. Here's the legendary infinite tunnel.
There's a secret passage on the right of the tunnel.
Next pile the crates (use the chest as well) to get to the bell.
Next - "Pick one or die" : Choose the western passage.
You'll then meet the last automaton. Talk to him; he'll attack you;
kill him and get his key.
In the next room, Lorthondo seals all exits. Release the Arcadion
from the sword (no other way), he'll take care of Lorthondo; messy!
The last teleporter takes you to the courthouse in Moonshade, where
Stephano leaves. Congrats! You've survived the Mountains of Freedom.
Moonshade
Look for Dupre at the Blue Boar inn. He'll tell you where to find the
others. Shamino can be found in the western woods (80S,110E). Boydon
at Capessi Canton. Iolo at Gustacio's manor.
Shamino gives you three gifts from Frigidazzi. The Serpent Earrings, a
Chill magic scroll and a letter. Right after putting on the earrings a
serpent speaks:
A new hero has entered into this world.
Am I dreaming or is this real?
See Ducio about repairing the Daemon Sword, he'll tell you Gustacio's
flux analyzer.
Gustacio says that the sword needs to have its sorcerous energies
realigned using the flux analyzer which was stolen.
Gustacio tells you Mortegro was struck by lightning and replaced by a
stone alter. Agree to help in his experiments. Take the power globe
to the tower in the valley north of Moonshade. Place it on the
platform and use the winch. Use each of the levers until no new color
is observed.
Gustacio tells you to bring the results to Fedabiblio, who instructs
you to look into his crystal ball. You'll see Edrin being struck by
lightning and change into Ale the parrot. Fedabiblio then tells you to
inform Gustacio of this.
To revert Edrin to his natural form, Gustacio gives you another power
globe and a bird cage. Use the bird cage on Ale. Place the globe on
the platform and Ale on one of the pedestals. Use the winch and then
the corresponding lever. Ale changes back to Edrin.
Gustacio rewards you with the Mirror of Truth and gives you all the
spells he knows for free.
Soon after, the serpent speaks:
Who art thou stranger? Why can't I see thee?
Curse this imbalance which veils my mind.
Hawk tells you of the catacombs in the mountains to the south which
lead back to mainland; Julia has the key to the entrance.
Julia "loans" you the key for 40 guilders as you've got the Chill
spell (given by Shamino from Frigidazzi).
The catacombs entrance is south of the Lake of Enchantment. Wander
around (not very big place), the exit is past the Ratmen city and
past the ruins occupied by wildmen. Exits into the Furnace.
Furnace
Talk to Zhelkas "Iron Helm", ruler of gargoyles, from across the
drawbridge. Agree to take the Test of Purity and he'll lower the
drawbridge to let you through.
The test is in the NE chambers of the Underground City.
Look for a button on the wall to open the sliding door (very common in
Ophidian ruins). Then cross the bridges which links a few towers.
You enter the Underground City, inhabited by sleeping gargoyles.
Head east. The door to the NE chambers lies east of the arena; you
need a key. Enter the arena and defeat the four automatons to get it.
Cast unlock the magically locked door beside the entrance. The passage
will lead you to the Twin Pillars.
Grasp (d-click) the Pillar of Fire to begin the Test of Purity.
Test of Purity:
Behind the north door, you'll meet Iolo who pleads with you to enter
the red moongate to flee from the doomed world. Refuse to go with him
until he leaves without you.
Next, Shamino behind the west door. Push the button on the northmost
pillar to release the trapped people.
Lastly, the east door. Pick up the hammer and attack the worms.
Dupre urges you to follow him to explore the treasures behind the
door; don't. (using the target T key is helpful here). Keep hammering
until all 10 worms are killed (they explode).
You'll then be teleported back to the pillars. Zhelkas gives you the
Serpent Ring.
Special case:
If you decide to fail the test, Zhelkas gives you a second chance.
Get the Everlasting Goblet from the Conjury of Ancients (hall in
northern chambers of the city). Return to him with the goblet and he
gives you the ring.
(The goblet does not run out of drink, ie. you need not carry any food,
though feeding will become very tedious)
In the library, read the book "On accessing the Serpent Gates".
To get to the serpent gate you need the keys of Ice and Fire;
hints where they can be found.
The Key of Fire can be found on a corpse, in the baths west of the
arena. The Key of Ice is found in the park in the SE of the city.
You'll find a serpent tooth (Monitor) on the corpse with the key.
In the Great Temple (behind the Twin Pillars), place the keys of Ice
and Fire on the altar. They merge to become the blackrock key.
This unlocks the brass door on the balcony of the Great Temple
leading to the serpent gate.
Fawn
Give Freli's letter to Delin; gives you a half-price offer.
The Gorlab Swamp
Soon after entering the Gorlab swamp, you'll fall asleep and enter
the Realm of Dreams.
Note:
You MUST have the three artifacts of Love, Truth and Courage on the
Avatar, to complete your quest in the Realm of Dreams.
These items are the:
Crystal Rose of Love, Mirror of Truth and Helm of Courage.
Realm of Dreams
Siranush, healer of Gorlab. She asks you to get the dream crystal from
Rabindrinath. He can only be overpowered by the artifacts of Love,
Truth and Courage.
Besides Siranush, you'll meet others in their dreams including:
Batlin, Byrin, Cantra, Ensorcio, Iolo, Lord British and Stephano.
Thoxa shows you the Moon's Eye and instructs you to seek it in the
Temple of Ancient Ones in the north.
Rabindrinath's keep (located far south of the Realm of Dreams).
Rabindrinath approaches you as you enter the keep. He babbles about
the artifact of Courage, then casts a spell against you. It fizzles;
he swears and teleports away.
Look for him in the torture room. Talk to him. He babbles about Love
and teleports away. Get the yellow key in the corpse on the torture
table. It unlocks the door to Rabindrinath's room.
Talk to him again. He babbles about the artifact of Truth, attacks you
with a spell. It backfires and he dies. Get the key in his body.
Unlock the vault and get the dream crystal.
Notes:
Do not enter combat mode when facing Rabindrinath. Just talk to him
(make sure you've got the artifacts though).
Give Siranush the dream crystal; she rewards you with the Serpent
Necklace. You'll be teleported back to the swamp.
(d-click the necklace to hear the Great Earth Serpent talk)
Notes:
Don't bother collecting any items. You can't bring them back to the
waking world.
To get out of the Realm of Dreams, get yourself killed (combat, the
iron maiden in Ensorcio's dream, or step into the pillar of fire).
Swamp of Gorlab
Soon after waking up, the Great Earth Serpent speaks:
Hasten, the Imbalance grows stronger.
Note: Bloodmoss abundant in Gorlab Swamp.
Great Northern Forest
Draygan's Fort:
Beryl, Draygan's prisoner tells you to use an arrow treated with
King's Saviour; seek Forest Master's help (lives SW of the fort).
Morghrim, the Forest Master asks you to get the Orb of Elerion back
from Draygan. He tells you where to get King's Saviour
Head west of the Forest Master. The King's Saviour is found near
mushrooms (green plant with yellow flowers). Use the plant on an
arrow. A sleeping arrow will appear at your feet. Go back to the fort
and shoot the arrow at Draygan. He'll fall asleep; kill him.
Get the Orb of Elerion from his body. Morghrim materializes; give him
the orb. In exchange you'll get the Whistle of Doskar.
Use the whistle. The Hound of Doskar will appear. Get the Hound to
track Cantra using her wooden sword; leads you to Shamino's Castle.
Get Shamino to draw a map of his castle. He tells you of the secret
entrance to the castle, between to great trees, west of the castle.
Look for two tree stumps; an invisible cave entrance leads into the
storage room of Shamino's Castle. There you'll be met by the spirit
of Beatrix.
Shamino's Castle
If you did not use the Hound to track Cantra's sword, the huge doors
of the keep will be blocked by barriers. They will be removed once
you've done this.
In the keep, fight Palos and his henchmen. Batlin appears and whisks
Palos away to the north.
Upstairs you'll find Cantra dead. The nameless Xenkan monk will appear
and take her back to Monk Isle to be resurrected.
Pick up Batlin's medallion and have the hound track it; points north.
To explore the outer chambers of the castle, go to the barracks;
a secret Wall leads to a room with 10 levers. These control the locks
of the doors (up = locked, down = unlocked).
Numbering the levers from left to right:
1 guard room
2 wizard's chambers
3 meeting hall
4 servant's chambers
5 kitchen
6 storage room
7 mess hall
8 armoury
9 barracks
10 chapel
Going to the North
The passage to the north is through a cave entrance at 28S,3E.
Note:
Each member of your party must be wearing a full set of furs
(fur cap, cloak, fur boots) when venturing into the north.
Without these, they'll freeze.
In the catacombs you'll meet the spirit of Gannt the Bard. It asks you
to take revenge for his murder by Captain Stokes (in House of Wares,
in the Knight's Forest). Get the brass key.
At the entrance to the north, Fitch, in his last breath, tells you the
trappers were attacked by a sorceress; They killed her (Gwenno).
The Gwanis
Note:
It is not advisable have any gwani fur/cloaks in your possesions
when approaching the gwanis. It'll offend them.
Though, I didn't have any problems when I wore gwani cloaks (bug?).
Bwundai greets you as you approach the Gwani village. He tells you
Gwenno is at the Gwani Death Temple; island West of the Ice Dragon.
Yenani, leader of the Gwanis, mate of Myauri and mother of Neyobi and
Kapyundi. She tells you that the Great Horn of Gwani was stolen and
taken to the Skullcrusher. Instructs you to see Baiyanda about saving
the sick Neyobi.
Baiyanda, mate of Mwaerno, healer of the Gwanis gives you a bucket to
collect the Ice Dragon blood required to save Neyobi. She mentions you
need the gwani horn to unseal Gwenno.
Myauri "Blizzard", Yenani's mate. Tells you Baiyanda's mate Bwundai may
know where the Gwani Death Temple is.
Note:
There is a discrepancy here: Myauri states that Bwundai is
Baiyanda's mate, whereas Baiyanda tells you Mwaerno is hers... ?)
Head north from the village, you'll meet Kapyundi "Little Glacier" and
Gilwoyai "Of the Wind".
Gilwoyai tells you to take the ice raft to get to the Ice Dragon in
the north (d-click on it).
Kill the Ice Dragon and use the bucket on its body. It'll fill with
ice dragon blood.
Give the bucket to Yenani at the village. She'll tell you a
"valuable secret" in return (the password to enter the Skullcrusher):
Isal Sal Cra Gaas Iskar
Note:
Yenani will not tell you this unless you've had the Hound to track
Batlin's medallion. Even guessing the password correctly will not
get you through the gate, the serpent will say you've forgotten
something.
Skullcrusher - City of Chaos
Here the serpent instructs:
The wizard... the key is the dead wizard,
Thou must vanquish him
At the entrance, place the serpent runestones on the pedestals such
that the runes match the plaques. Then use (d-click) the runestones
following the order of the password: I S C G I
(Start from the pedestal on the left) The sliding door will then open.
Unlock the cell with the skeleton pleading for aid (trap); kill it.
Get the serpent teeth from Maleccio's corpse and read his diary.
Get the flux analyzer and the Philanderer's Friend from Vasculio's
collection (You'll get the gwani horn later).
Note:
See Gustacio at Moonshade and he'll instruct you to place the
flux analyzer on the ground and use it on the Black Sword.
The locked double brass doors will open as you approach. Inside you'll
hear scratch... scratch coming from the coffin. Read the scroll on the
pedestal; Vasculio emerges from the coffin.
Here there are two possible situations:
If you've got the magebane, Vasculio offers you the Mass Death
spell for it. However, if you do trade the magebane, you won't get
it back when you've killed him.
Without the magebane, Vasculio offers to spare your life for one
of your companions to feed on. They'll never agree to this.
In both cases, Vasculio attacks you anyway.
Kill him, get the blue-red key. It works on the brass doors at the
crypt and the brass door to the east Skullcrusher exit.
Once you've killed Vasculio, the Great Earth Serpent will instruct
you to:
Seek the temple and within it the Eye of the Moon.
Get out of the City of Chaos using the east exit. The temple you're
looking for is just east of the exit.
Temple of Emotion
Look into the Moon's Eye: you'll see Batlin making his preparations to
open the Wall of Lights (and of course, your meddlesome intervention).
Silverpate's Treasure (50N,40E)
Search for an invisible entrance. Use the map to get to Silverpate's
treasure. Don't forget you can move the caltrops! You'll find the
blackrock balance serpent.
Spinebreaker - City of Order (39N,96E)
Kill the automaton that speaks in Batlin's voice. Get the brass key.
To get through the sliding door, you'll be asked for the password by
the automaton. There isn't one; cast a telekinesis spell.
In the next passage, Brunt tells you to follow him (trap). Use the
secret passage throught the illusionary wall in the North.
Beside the armoury, next to the glowing sphere there's a secret Wall.
This'll take you to the City of Order.
In the NW chambers of the city, you'll find a shrine of Discipline.
Get the serpent dagger.
In the SW, get one of the three scrolls in the shrine of Ethicality.
In the SE, get the abacus (red) from the shrine of Logic.
Read the book in front of the Temple of the Hierophant. Place the
correct symbols corresponding to the plaque on the pedestal.
Order symbol that doth speak of principles and wisdom : scroll
Order symbol for the strength of mind and willpower : serpent dagger
Order symbol for a straight path of truth : abacus
The brass door will open after you've placed the last item (abacus).
Go down to the Hierophant's room; tell the automaton you're the
Hierophant. It'll hand you the Serpent Sceptre.
Place the sceptre on the blue pedestal; teleports you to the library.
Read the books (info to answer automaton's test) then teleport out.
Note:
There is a hidden chest beneath the stairs in the Temple
(behind the secret Wall).
Head to the SE chambers where you'll meet Palos. You'll just have to
run through his trap. The automaton will ask you the title of a book
for a given phrase (The answer is the last option).
The next passage leads to the Grand Shrine of Order. You'll find a
body with a blue-red key; does NOT unlock the brass door. The key to
this door is the blue-white key you took from Selina's backpack.
Don't despair if you can't find it:
The key on the body unlocks the Vault of the Dead in the northern
chambers. Use the button on the carpet; lifts you to passage to
the Grand Shrine.
Note: Selina's key unlocks the door beside the stairs after lift.
Grand Shrine of Order
Kill Selina and Batlin's men (Brunt, Deadeye and Palos).
Get the Dispel Field scroll from Selina's body.
Bug Note:
Using the Hourglass of Fate here resurrects Selina
(an infinite conversation loop occurs).
Batlin bungles up opening the Wall of Lights and ends up getting
killed. The Banes of Chaos are released, taking over the bodies of
your companions;
Shamino by Anarchy, Dupre by Wantoness, Iolo by Insanity.
The banes then teleport away.
Notes:
Make sure you've got everything you need (info, spells...)
before the Banes are released. The Banes go on rampage, killing
almost everyone in Serpent Isle.
You can get Wilfred (Sleeping Bull) to join your party. Though,
he will leave you in a losing battle. Once he leaves, he will
not rejoin.
You can also get Petra (Moonshade) and some automatons (Temple
of Discipline) to join.
The Serpent now instructs you:
Seek the horn... The Gwani Horn.
Seek it in the depths beneath the Skullcrusher Mountains.
Get the blackrock chaos serpent from Batlin's body. Transfer the teeth
from his jawbone to yours.
Note:
Carrying two jawbones is not advisable. The game will only look
at the first in your inventory; some gates will be inaccessible.
Bug Note:
Using the hourglass in the room where you fought Selina will
cause your companions to rejoin your party. Thus, you can even
get more than five party members if you return here later with
other members.
Skullcrusher
Use the jawbone to get to Skullcrusher. Cast the dispel field to get
the Gwani horn (in Vasculio's crypt).
The serpent now instructs:
Free Gwenno... Free her from the ice.
Gwani village
You'll find that after returning from the Grand Shrine of Order,
the gwanis have been attacked by Hazard the Trapper. Talk to Yenani,
she'll tell you that her gwani amulet (taken by the Trapper) had a
serpent tooth in it.
Head north to Hazard's cave (the door unlocks after the massacre).
Kill Hazard and get the key to his chest. Get the gwani amulet and
return it to Yenani; gives the serpent tooth (Shrine of Balance).
Gwani Death Temple (approx 95N,46W)
Use the ice raft to get to the temple. Use the gwani horn to destroy
the ice barriers and to free Gwenno from the ice block.
Monk Isle
Bring Gwenno's body to Monk Isle to be resurrected (any monk will do).
The serpent explains:
Bane of Chaos, Chaos Bane... twisted her mind.
In order to restore Gwenno, Karnax instructs you to get the Scroll of
the Serpent from Fedabiblio.
Moonshade
You'll find that Shamino the Anarch has killed almost everyone in
Moonshade. Andrio tells you that Fedabiblio was turned into a statue
and Torrissio's wand, the Philanderers Friend can free Fedabiblio.
Use the wand on Fedabiblio; rewarded with the Scroll of the Serpent.
He gives you the key to Hawk's chest (Blue Boar inn); get the map and
read Hawk's directions to the treasure.
Note:
If Torrissio has taken the Philanderer's friend from you.
Don't worry, cast the spell Vibrate on him to get it back.
You might also be able to pick up the swordstrike spell "weapon"!
Stephano gives you a serpent tooth (Temple of Tolerance) and joins you
temporarily. Kill the Death Knight sent by Columna; Stephano gives you
the key to the vault of his old house. Get the Blackrock Order Serpent
from there.
Note: The key to his old house in the hollow tree just outside.
You can use the Hourglass to resurrect Stephano if he's killed.
Search the mages' manors for any useful items. You should have all
serpent teeth except #7.
Monk Isle
Give the Scroll of the Serpent to Karnax. He'll give you a scroll
(the six Ophidian virtues and anti-virtues) and instruct you to
make Gwenno drink the water of the virtue she is lacking; Discipline.
You can reach the temples using the serpent gates, else read the book
"Temples of Order" in the library for directions.
Temple of Ethicality (33N,133E)
There are stairs down on the right of the serpent. You need to take
the test of Ethicality to obtain the Water (d-click on the mat in the
east room). Reading the scrolls on the corpses may help. The automaton
will ask three questions before allowing you to take the test. Briefly
the answers are: "Risk Death", "Leave the Money" and "Continue".
test 1: Risk death to save the man's life by pushing the button.
test 2: Drop all your gems, gold and money on the gold pedestal.
Then walk to the end of the passage and use the button.
test 3: Do not yield to Batlin.
You've passed the test of Ethicality. Go up the stairs and use the
bucket on the basin to get the Water of Ethicality.
Note: You get to carry back what you took or were given in the test.
Temple of Discipline (44N,86E)
Talk to the automaton in the NE room; He'll say something about
automatons getting through the acid to get the Water.
Push the button in the serpent gate room. Go down the stairs on the
left and get the key from the invisible chest. Go back up and use the
button on the opposite room. Go up the stairs on the right; get the
brass key and the obsidian and quartz y-shapes.
Next use the stairs up on the left. Read the books (especially the one
on `Body Transference' and `Symbol of Discipline').
Place the obsidian y-shape on the LEFT slot to create the bridge.
Down the stairs behind the serpent, use the brass key to unlock the
south door; get the blue key which unlocks the north door (to Water).
You have now two options:
You can either continue through the acid path and keep casting
healing spells OR...
Ask Petra (Moonshade) to do a mind transference with you.
Note:
Petra will help you only after you've read the book titled
`Body Transference' AND talked to the automaton in the NE room
(or stepped into the acid).
Bring Petra to the mind transference chamber (she joins you) and
talk to her. She'll step onto the left platform once you've
promised of her safety. Push the button and you'll swap places.
Go through the acid path and use the bucket on the basin.
Note:
Make sure you've asked your other non-automaton members to
leave before going through the acid. (Wilfred's a pain here)
You'll regain your normal form after a while.
Temple of Logic
You'll have to find your way through a short ice maze. When you come
across 5 ice blocks, break them with your sword (or use the gwani horn;
but very messy as items spill out of the bodies). Read Dolfo's journal.
It'll give you the neccessary clues to enter the Temple of Logic.
The solution: Walk across the teleporters in the following order:
Red, Yellow, Blue, Red then lastly White. You'll be teleported to the
entrance of the Temple. Place the runestones in front of the door
from left to right: B C O W.
Automaton #7 is missing. Talk to all automatons; the one with the
inconsistent alibi is guilty. Accuse automaton #4. He'll give you
a pink key which directly unlocks the door to the fountain.
Another pink key is in his body; unlocks door to the stones puzzle.
The original setup:
o
s o x o
o
Pick up stone s and place it on stone x. The force field will be
removed. The yellow key also unlocks the door to the fountain.
Monk Isle
Use the Water of Discipline on Gwenno. She'll instruct you to go to
Moonshade to learn the secret of trapping souls (to trap the Banes).
Moonshade
Talk to Torrissio about trapping souls; he wants the Philanderer's
Friend in exchange. Let him take the wand, then talk to him again.
He'll give the spell Create Soul Prism (transcribe it) and tells
you to see Ducio about the Worm Gems.
Get Ducio to make three Worm Gems for you. Cast Create Soul Prism
on the gems (each forms an empty soul prism).
Monk Isle
Gwenno instructs you to bathe the soul prisms in the water of temples
corresponding to the Banes (Emotion, Tolerance and Enthusiasm) and to
look for devices in the temple which will reveal the location of the
Banes (Moon's Eye, Web of Fate, magic lens).
Temple of Emotion
Sriash, little girl's soul trapped in the force wall tells you how to
obtain the Water of Emotion. To free her soul, smash the pedestal of
love (column) in the middle of the room (the lodestone of love is
underneath it).
Placing the lodestones of emotion on the four pillars around the pond.
(changes the water to the Water of Emotion). Collect the Water near
the pillars with a bucket. Then use the bucket of Water on the soul
prism; it will turn blue (prism of emotion).
Looking into the Moon's Eye, you'll see Anarchy; the Banes are at the
Castle of the White Dragon (near the Gorlab Swamp).
Temple of Enthusiasm
Find your way through the maze into the library. Read the book
`My Life and My Beliefs'; tells you that the Great Hierophant of Chaos
was killed in the garden and Sethys was given the key to the altar of
Tolerance.
Use a bucket on the well in the courtyard, then the Water on a soul
prism to form a prism of enthusiasm (green).
Temple of Tolerance
To free Mortegro, you need to use the winch to lower the drawbridge.
However the door to it is locked. You can cast Telekinesis OR...
Get the yellow key in the west room; unlocks the dungeons below.
Sethys tells you his key was taken by a rat through a small hole in
the wall. Cast the spell Serpent Bond; you'll turn into a snake.
Slither through the hole into the next room. Get the yellow key.
and hit the lever to get out.
Note: There's a Serpent Bond scroll in one of the rooms above.
Unlock the door to the winch with the yellow key. Get to the island
through some secret Walls. Talk to Mortegro.
Mortegro gives you the spell Summon Shade and offers to sell you
spells at half price (you can still haggle except for level 9).
He'll ask you to take him back to Moonshade. Drop a member if you
don't have space in your party. He gets struck by lightning and
dissappears once he steps out of the temple.
Sethys hints about placing containers on the altar to get the Water.
However the altar is missing (switched places with Mortegro).
Go to Moonshade and place a bucket on the stone altar in Gustacio's
cellar. It'll fill with the Water of Tolerance. Use the Water on a
soul prism; red prism of tolerance forms.
Castle of the White Dragon
Kill the jesters. The spirit of the King of the White Dragon also
attacks you at the entrance (ice dragon). OK, here's the hard bit:
Getting to the Banes of Chaos:
(_WITHOUT_ blowing up any doors)
From the main passage, enter the room with the mirrors, kill the
Avatar?s. There's a secret Wall to the lab; get the yellow key in
the corpse. This unlocks the door to the library (exploding books).
Read the non-exploding books (just some history). Cross the balcony
to the room to the west (with the nightmare) and get the glowing
yellow key from the desk.
Go down the balcony into the festivities hall (with the headlesses).
Picklock the kitchen door. Use the secret Wall to enter the dining
hall. Get the brass key under one of the plates.
Go back to the main passage and use the glowing yellow key to unlock
the door to the east room (sewing room). Hit the lever behind the
bales of wool; opens secret Wall to next room.
There's an illusionary wall under the stairs; a chest behind it.
Get the green key; unlocks door up to the roof. From the roof,
enter the music room (next to the main entrance). Get the grey key
under the whistle.
Go back down the stairs with the illusionary wall. The grey key
unlocks the door of the next room (lightning, firebolts). Use the
lever camouflaged by some broken columns; opens Wall to room with
harpies. Use the brass key (dining hall) to unlock the door to the
center passage. Picklock the door of the children's playroom; get
the blue key in the drawers. Head underground using the stairs in
the center passage.
Use the blue key on the first left door. D-click secret Wall on SW
corner of the room; out to corridor. Enter the next room to the
south (secret Wall). Use the lever by the grandfather clock. Follow
corridor to the east until you come across a lever. Use the lever
and enter the room; secret Wall to adjoining room has opened.
Get the purple key in the drawers; unlocks room door and door at
the end of the passage.
Hit the lever in the torture room and go back to the corridors.
You can now enter the SE room which has a door leading to the hall
where the Banes are waiting.
Note: there's a pink key under the logs which unlocks the room door.
for an easy exit.
Trapping the Banes:
You have to kill the Banes in combat. Not an easy task.
(My tip: use sleeping potions on the Banes)
The Banes should then be trapped in the Black Sword. Use the prisms
on the sword to transfer them into the prisms.
Bring your companions bodies back to Monk Isle.
Monk Isle
Get a monk to resurrect all three companions.You'll need to restore
them with the correct Water:
Iolo - Logic, Shamino - Ethicality, Dupre - Discipline
Note:
Place all three on the ground before resurrecting them else they
may not respond even after using the Water on them.
Xenka will then return. If you're not in the abbey, Karnax teleports
you there. She gives you the last serpent tooth (Isle of Crypts) and
instructs you to seek the dead there.
Isle of Crypts
Follow the path of the serpent (serpent marking on the floor) to the
passage leading south initially. Don't bother about placing any
offerings on the altar, keep going west till the end of the passage.
Press the button on the wall; secret Wall opens to a small room
with the plaque: To continue in Balance, stand here.
Note: You need the Blackrock Balance Serpent to continue.
You'll be teleported to another passage. Follow the passage till the
end (past the pedestals `Balance is Wisdom'). Kill the mummy in the
crypt and get the scroll. Go back and place the scroll on the pedestal
opposite the gold serpent.
Read the book on the pedestal in the library; teleported to another
chamber with the Chaos Serpent Eye (cast dispel field to get it).
Behind the serpents on the north wall is a secret Wall. This leads
to a teleporter.
You're teleported to the Great Hierophant's crypt. Cast Summon Shade
to speak with him. He instructs you to get the Staff, Armour and Crown
of the Great Earth Serpent. To restore Balance, you first need to
reunite the Chaos serpent (need to ask Chaos Hierophant). Once this is
done, proceed to the Grand Shrine of Balance.
Temple of Tolerance
Sethys joins you temporarily to take you to the Chaos Hierophant;
he ages rapidly and dies outside the temple. He tells you the precise
location of the Chaos Hierophant and to take along the Chaos Stone
(serpent eye, look in his ashes).
Temple of Enthusiasm
The corpse of the Chaos Hierophant lies in the NE corner of the
garden (near the serpent gate). Cast Summon Shade to speak with him.
He hints at the location of the Shrine of Chaos within Skullcrusher
(mighty detonation, shattering of bronze doors). He gives you a
scroll with the instructions of the rite.
He also tells you that something strong to bind the Banes is required
for the rite to succeed; see Xenka.
Isle of Monks
Ask Xenka of "sacrifice"; the final sacrifice of one in balance is
needed. You are chosen to sacrifice yourself at the crematorium.
Monitor
At the crematorium, hit the lever to cremate yourself. Dupre will
jump to sacrifice himself instead :( Get Dupre's ashes.
Skullcrusher
Use a powder keg to blow up the bronze doors in the north. You'll
have to find your way down through the maze then back up again to
get to the Shrine of Chaos (has a lake with serpent statues).
There is a secret Wall on the northern wall. The Wall of Lights is
behind this.
Place the Blackrock Chaos Serpent in the slot to open the Wall of
Lights. Then place the soul prisms on the correct pedestals:
Anarchy - Tolerance, Wantoness - Enthusiasm, Madness - Emotion.
Place Dupre's ashes on the last pedestal.
Note:
Explosions on the four pedestals should occur. However, I've
noticed that when switching the computer to lower speeds,
a pedestal appears and a serpent forms on it.
Dupre (soul fused with Chaos serpent) tells you to go to the
Sunrise Isle. Xenka also materializes, instructing you to rush
to the Sunrise Isle. She gives you an Ophidian Sword.
Fawn: the Serpent Armour
Read the note on Zulith's body (at the drawbridge); Lady Yelinda has
a key to the treasury where the Serpent Armour is kept.
Ruggs tells you that Lady Yelinda has gone into the Gorlab swamp; her
face disfigured.
Search for Lady Yelinda in the Gorlab swamp. Give the Comb of Beauty
to her; she'll reward you with a brass key to the treasury.
There's a teleporter under the east stair in the throne room. Walk
through the illusionary wall to get to the treasury.
Knight's Forest: the Serpent Crown
Starting at coordinates 98S,28W (by a sandy rock), use Hawk's map to
get to the correct hollow tree (Serpent Crown inside).
The House of Wares (optional):
Use the brass key found at Gannt's shrine. Kill the pirate playing
the computer (piracy does not pay!). You can use the computer. Try
using the gavel on the parrot.
Furnace: the Serpent Staff
After the first bridge, try to keep going in the general direction
north. You'll find the Serpent Staff at a troll encampment. The troll
with the two-handed sword has the key to the brass door.
Shrine of Balance
Use the serpent gate to get here. To get out of the Temple:
Note there are two sets of scales; one on the north side, the other
to the south. Gather the blue and red serpents at the corners of the
room. Place one red and one blue serpent on each set of scales.
blue red
x x x
pedestals
serpent
gate
pedestals
x x x
blue red
After completing each set of scales the symbols of each set of virtues
will appear on the pedestals. The doors will unlock once you've got
all six symbols:
Chaos: Tolerance - chain Order: Ethicality - torch
Enthusiasm - rose Discipline - dagger
Emotion - heart Logic - abacus
Read the book on pedestal west of the temple; tells you the symbols of
each virtue (as given above) and the combinations which make the
virtues of Balance. Explore the area; you'll find six shrines. Place
the appropriate symbol on the pedestals to create balance:
Tolerance - torch Ethicality - chain
Enthusiasm - dagger Discipline - rose
Emotion - abacus Logic - heart
A book will appear when the last symbol is placed. Bring the book to
the great pillars (Ophidian obelisks) just outside the temple (north).
Read the book between the two pillars; cross the bridge of blue flame
to another pair of pillars. Read the book again; cross the bridge of
red flame.
Note:
Make sure you've got everthing you need: (serpent staff, armour,
crown, earrings, neclace, ring, Chaos serpent eye, Ophidian sword).
You cannot return once you've crossed the bridges of fire.
Grand Shrine of Balance
The Ice Diamond & Fire Ruby:
In the west passage, use the green key in the bag to unlock the chest.
Read the book (instructions). Use the same key to unlock the chest in
the east passage. Get an unlit serpent candle. Place the candle on the
pedestal in front of the ice wall (west). The wall will shatter into
ice chunks. Get the Ice Diamond and an ice chunk. Place the ice chunk
on the pedestal in the lava pit (east). Cross the bridge that appears;
get the Fire Ruby.
Place the Ice Diamond on the blue pedestal, the Fire Ruby on the red
pedestal in front of the great bronze doors. You'll then be able to
enter the next chamber.
Cubes of Fire and Ice:
Note:
To keep things short, the term `Rose room' is used in place of
`the room with the rose symbol'. `Torch room'... etc
This is the complete solution to the puzzle. No 'cheating' by using
telekinesis spells!
Start by going up the stairs to the west. Hit the two buttons on the
wall. Go back down and through the illusionary wall under the stairs.
Hit the button on the wall. Use the teleporters to get to Chain room
in the east. Use the button in Abacus room. Teleport back to west.
Go up to Rose room; get the brass key in the chest (on the left).
Go back down and teleport to the east. Use the brass key on door in
Abacus room. Go down the stairs. There's a teleporter under the stairs
behind a secret Wall. Teleport to Torch room; hit button on wall and
teleport back to the east. Go up the stairs and teleport back to west.
Enter Heart room; hit button on wall. Teleport to east; go downstairs
and enter Dagger room. Get the Key of Fire from the chest (trapped).
Go back upstairs; teleport to west. Unlock door in Heart room using
Key of Fire; get the Key of Ice from the chest and 2 ice cubes.
Teleport to east, go downstairs. Unlock the door in Dagger room with
Key of Ice. Get 2 fire cubes. Go upstairs and teleport to west.
Place the cubes of fire and ice on the pedestal (at bronze doors).
A pyramid of steps will materialize; a teleporter on top with a
scroll (items you need to continue).
The teleporter brings you to a place in the Void. As instructed,
place the Serpent Staff, Serpent Armour and Serpent Crown on the
altar at the northern end of the passage. You'll be given the
Order Serpent Eye and teleported back to the shrine (the bronze
doors will unlock).
Enter the final chamber. The Order Serpent makes an appearance and
orders some ice monsters to attack.
The final rite:
Place the three blackrock serpents in the slots; Wall of Lights opens.
Place the Order Serpent Eye and the Chaos Serpent Eye on the altar in
front of the statue which comes alive. Lastly, use the Ophidian sword
given by Xenka to kill the Great Earth Serpent (statue).
Congrats, you've completed Ultima7 pt2 : The Serpent Isle.
A Big Hand to Origin for creating a masterpiece! (pun intended)
Long Live Lord British!

CHEAT NOTES: This section is devoted to CHEATS!
Look at the file U7SIITEM.TXT for the list of items you can create using
the cheat mode.
THE CHEAT MODE
To use the cheat mode in the game, type:
serpent pass
at the dos prompt.
To enable the game flags to be shown, type:
serpent pass s
You can watch the intro and the endgame from the dos prompt. However,
this may cause your system to hang when its over. To do this:
intro hisss (to watch intro)
endgame hisss (to watch endgame)
A better way to watch the endgame (besides completing the game) would
be to create the zero-byte file ENDGAME.FLG in the STATIC directory.
You can also create the file QUOTES.FLG to view the quotes (This file
is created when you've watch all the credits).
Special trick: (_TRY_THIS_!!!!!!!!)
Run the install program, select 'NO SOUND CARD'.
Then at the dos prompt type:
intro hisss jive
Watch the intro for some laughs!
useful Cheat mode keys:
F2 cheat menu (create items, teleport, modify NPC)
F3 teleport (brings up map)
F5 cast spell number (from 0-71 in spellbook's order)
F8 read scroll, book, plaque
ALT-4 drop item contents
ISLE OF THE MAD MAGE
In the mountains of the isle, you'll find a treasure trove of weapons,
armour, potions... However, most importantly this place can be
accessed _WITHOUT_ using the cheat mode!
Note:
Though you can get here without the cheat mode, I don't consider
this part of the 'legal' game; the serpent crown, earrings and
necklace are available here.
To get here, look for a tree stump just outside Stephano's old house
(Moonshade). What you need to do is place a crate beside the stump;
then get on the stump. Walk around the stump, make sure you've covered
all the possible areas; you'll be teleported to a small island when
you hit the right spot.
The island will have a teleporter (back into Stephano's old house),
a magic axe and a chest. There is a secret passage (invisible, heading
north) from the island to the mountains of Erstam's Isle (invisible
mountain entrace).
The vault here has one of each type of magic weapon (well, almost).
The key to the vault can be found in the tower before the swamp of
Gorlab (62S,45E). D-click the secret Wall to get in. Cross the bridge
to the east end (there's a pool of strength). The key is hidden under
the stairs (just a few pixels).
CLAW (also known as Cat Isle)
I've yet to find a way to teleport here without using the cheat mode.
The isle has a cache of weapons, armour and all the items you need to
complete the game (except the serpent crown, ring and necklace).
2 helms of courage, crystal rose of love, mirror of truth
comb of beauty, fiery egg (phoenix egg), hound whistle
ritual blooding device, small gong (?), everlasting goblet
4 sets of magic armour, gauntlets, leggings, boots
3 viking helms, 4 cloaks, 4 infinity bows, 5 glass swords
lightning whip, fire sword, magic sword, firedoom staff
serpent staff, armour and earrings, chaos and order serpent eyes
Also try teleporting to coords 1423,2066 (decimal). You'll find a
magic axe and 21 burst arrows.
Pothos' Apothecary
The main stairs leading to Pothos' place has a secret Wall. Behind it,
another stairway leads you to a small room with a lightning whip on a
pedestal. There is another secret Wall on the north wall; a passage
leads to a door. Unlock the door with the key to Pothos' vault (found
under his chair). The teleporter brings you to a football field
complete with cheerleaders and the home team! There's some treasure
at the end of the field.
You can enter this place without the cheat mode. However, to get out
of here you MUST use the cheat mode (teleporter at end of field does
not work).
Spell "weapons"
When using the spell vibrate in mages you might notice that they have
spell-like objects in their inventory. If you equip these in your
weapon hand, you'll be able to cast the spell continuously when in
combat. ie. just like any other weapon.
Note:
This can be done legally (without using the the cheat mode).
However, if the spell-weapon is laid on the ground, you can't
pick it up without using Hack Mover.
In the cheat mode, use the keys ALT-4 to drop the contents of any
container (including NPCs).
Listed below are the spell "weapons" available.
Andrio paralyze
Columna ignite, paralyze, poison
Fedabiblio fire bolt, ignite, lightning, poison
Filbercio curse, fire bolt, poison
Freli lightning
Frigidazzi lightning, swordstrike
Gustacio fire bolt, lightning
Lorthondo fire bolt, lightning
mage-bear dragon breath (Mts of Freedom)
Melino lightning, paralyze

Before you begin editing, you'll need to aquaint yourself with U7's debug
"cheaters" menu.
To activate the menu, at the DOS prompt type:
U7.EXE ABCD<alt-255 on the numeric keypad><spacebar>
Important keys:
F2-> Activates main debug menu.
Highlights of:
Hack mover- Move any onscreen object (even ground tiles)
Power Avatar- Unlimited hitpoints, spellpoints, reagents, etc...
Edit NPC- Edit almost every aspect of a npc's stats or physical state (ex.
solid\etheral\swim\fly)
Create item- Create any item found in the game
<Alt>+<4> (the 4 at the top of the keyboard)- Force any container and most
NPC's to be emptied of it's (or his or her's) contents
F3-> Teleport to anywhere on the worldmap
F5-> Spells (1-72) ex: in SI, 12 is Great Light, 23 is Translate
F9-> Identify item targeted with the crosshairs (click left mouse button
when mouse pointer changes to a crosshair)
Most of my notes also apply to Serpent Isle, except:
Serpent Isle command line: SI.EXE PASS SPAM S
W/ Silver Seed installed: SI.EXE MANIMAL SPAM S
*********************************************************************
Scenery building in Ultima 7:
U7.EXE reads three files when it loads up scenery in the game, a 512-byte
segment of U7MAP (static dir), a U7IFIX?? file (static dir), and a
U7IREG?? file (gamedat dir). The land in Ultima 7 is neatly segmented
into 144 (12x12) sections. U7MAP is segmented into 144 512-byte
"SuperChunks", and correspondingly, there are 144 U7IFIX??'s and 144
U7IREG?? files. Most of the first story scenery is read from the U7MAP
file, the only omissions are the swirling space tiles (Tetrahedron, I
think), the chasm tiles in FOV (truth test area), and some misc. first
story scenery (columns, monoliths, statues, or any other scenery that
doesn't leave a glowing square when removed with the hack mover). All
second story scenery is read from the U7IFIX?? files, this includes second
story walls and roof tiles (regular and mountain). All objects that can
be manipulated by the user (hack moving not included), and specials (eggs)
are read and saved in the U7IREG?? files. BTW, most of the information
and tricks that I use are catered to Norton DE, those with PCTools or
another good hex editor shouldn't have any trouble, but I don't recommend
using DOS debug. I want to give special thanks to Samuel Chong who
originally figured out the purpose of U7MAP and the IFIX files, which I
would have missed if he hadn't pointed 'em out to me.
The U7MAP file:
The U7MAP file is segmented into 144 (12x12 grid on the worldmap) 512-byte
segments (conveniently, most hex editors separate data into 512-byte
segments), called "SuperChunks". The SuperChunks are further subdivided
into 256 two-byte chunks (16X16 grid on each SuperChunk). Each of the
chunks is about the size of a one room house (about four inches each way).
Each SuperChunk has 16 rows of 16 two-byte chunks, after reading the 16th
chunk, the program starts a new row (one row takes up two 16-byte lines in
the U7MAP file). Here's a good way to test out the U7MAP file (back up
the original first):
- Load up U7MAP (in the Static dir) under your hex editor.
- Look at the first SuperChunk, at the beginning of the file, the first
eight bytes: 8E 0B 00 00 00 00 37 00 represent the first four chunks at
the top, left of the U7 worldmap. 8E 0B, 00 00, and 37 00 are ocean
chunks.
- Change the first two bytes to D0 0A (Skara Brae ruin), the second two
bytes to 24 01 (fortress chunk), the third set to B7 00 (dungeon chunk),
and the fourth set to 8B 00 (forest chunk).
The first eight bytes should now read: D0 0A 24 01 B7 00 8B 00
- Save the file and reload the game. F3 to the top, left part to the
worldmap and walk around until you see the four new additions to the
scenery.
You can copy entire SuperChunks to other parts of the worldmap (with
Norton DE):
- Load U7MAP under your editor.
- Put the curser at the beginning byte of the SuperChunk, then pull-down
the edit menu (alt-e), choose the Mark option, the use the arrow-keys (or
mouse) to mark the segment.
- Alt-e again and choose the Copy option, then go to the SuperChunk that
you want copy over, put the curser at the beginning of the segment, alt-e
and choose the Paste option.
-Save the file and reload the game to see the results.
There are quite a few chunks, so experiment and make your own lists.
The IFIX files:
The U7IFIX?? files in the Static directory contain all second story
scenery (except for trees), roof chunks, and some misc. first story
objects (columns, monoliths, alters, etc...).
There are 144 IFIX files (U7IFIX00-U7IFIX8F). Each IFIX file is separated
into two parts, the top half (starting at hex offset 80 and ending at
offset 87F) is the pointer segment and the bottom half (offset 880->) is
the data segment. As with U7MAP SuperChunks, each Ifix file has 256
chunks (16x16 grid). Each IFIX chunk is represented by an eight byte
string in the top half, ex: 80 05 00 00 0A 00 00 00. 80 05 refers to the
hex offset 05 80 (in the bottom, data half) where the data for the IFIX
chunk begins, 0A tells the program how many bytes it needs to read to
complete the chunk (art data read from SHAPES.VGA). Unfortunately, each
IFIX has its own palette of picture data, so there won't be a single Ifix
chunk list. You can customize Ifix files to your specification though. All
you have to do is copy data from one Ifix file and tack it on the the end
of another, then write in the chunks's new starting address and length.
Creating a custom IFIX:
Let's say you want to grab the second story walkway connecting the two
mountain ranges to the North and East of Britain (from U7IFIX28), and
transfer the Ifix chunk to the Ifix file that holds LB's castle
(U7IFIX33).
- First you have to make a new Ifix file (max of around 10K).
- Find a file that's close to the size you need (2K or so, I used
VGTVOL.DAT form the Static dir). Copy it under the name IFIXADD or
another you can remember. Load the file under Norton DE and use the Mark and Fill
options in the edit menu to change the file's contents to all 00's.
-Next, copy IFIXADD onto the end of the file you want to expand, namely
U7IFIX33: COPY /B U7IFIX33+IFIXADD IFIXNEW
- Copy IFIXNEW over U7IFIX33,U7IFIX33 will now have the space you need to
operate.
- Load U7IFIX28under Norton DE, and go down to hex offset 798, you should
see the string: 80 0D 00 00 48 00 00 00 (pointer to walkway's data).
- Take your curser down to hex offset 0D 80, use Norton DE's Mark option
to mark the block (72 bytes(48h), 3 1/2 lines, 0D80-0DCF). Use the Copy
option to capture the data.
- Switch over to U7IFIX33 (do not leave DE or you will lose the data you
copied, instead press <enter> to get a directory listing) and use the
Paste option to copy the data to the end of the data section (at hex
offset 1EE0).
- Copy down the data's new starting address (1EE0) and the size (48h).
- You can now access the transferred chunk by filling one of the
eight-byte chunk slots in the top half of the file (I chose the slot at
hex offset 230), in the chunk slot format: E0 1E 00 00 48 00 00 00
- That's it, reload the game, the walkway should appear just above the
top, left hand corner of the road surrounding LB's castle.
The IREG files:
The U7IREG?? files in the Gamedat directory are where the game stores all
objects that can be manipulated by the user (weapons, magic carpets,
doors, eggs, etc...). The data is separated into two groups, object data
and specials data.
Object data is stored in a six byte format:
06 2E A7 AE 02 09 00 (Magic leg armor)
| | | | | | |-> Number of charges
| | | | | |-> Spam Modifier, change to a 1, 11 or 31 to
| | | | | make item created with the "Create item"
| | | | | command in the Debug Menu permanent
| | | |__|-> Item number (in hex)
| |__|-> X, Y coordinates
|-> String size indicater
Specials data (eggs & stats) are stored in a twelve byte format:
0C 12 06 13 01 71 64 04 00 00 75 03
| |-> I don't have my "egg/usecode" notes in front of me
| right now, but will post 'em if you need 'em.
|-> String size indicater
NOTE: If you change an item that is on-screen when you saved your
game, you'll also have to change data in the U7IBUF.DAT
file.
- Do an F9 (identify item) on the object, and look at the referent
statement, this gives the hex offset of the item in the U7IBUF.DAT file.
- Open the U7IBUF.DAT file and go to the hex offset given by the F9
statement, you should see an eight byte string like this:
38 00 2E A7 AE 02 09 08
| | | | |__|-> Spam modifier
| | |__|-> Item number (Magic leg armor)
|__|-> X, Y coordinates
- The general rule here is to make changes identical to those you made in
the IREG file. One of the problems with altering Ireg and U7IBUF.DAT
object strings is finding the right spam modifier, since each class of
objects has it's own (weapons, tools, secret doors, etc...). Happily,
there is a simple way around all this (you don't even to edit the files,
hehe), all you have to do is duplicate the contents of the IREG files:
- Make a backup copy of U7IREG00 (make sure you leave off the "U7" or the
game will try to load the backup file), and ATTRIB +R it (read only).
- Go back into the game and place all the objects that you want to
duplicate in front of LB's castle (this includes eggs and magic carpets),
save 'n quit.
- Copy U7IREG33 over U7IREG00.
- Load up the game, F3 to the top, left corner of the map,
all the objects you dropped by LB's castle will be sitting
there for the taking (magic carpets included<g>).
- Once you're through, copy the backup of U7IREG00 over the
altered one.
