Ultima 7: Black Gate Hints
I don't know how to use all this stuff!
1 of 6: Blacksmith, eh? Have you talked to one that has been helpful?
2 of 6: Like, in Serpent Hold?
3 of 6: Did he give you something?
4 of 6: Like, a scroll?
5 of 6: Or you could simply use common sense! (Explicit solution follows).
6 of 6: Have all of your party members leave and wait here out of your way. Put your weapons down and pick up the hammer. Fill up the trough by using the bucket on the well, then the trough. Do this 3 times to fill it. Ditch the bucket. Use the sword blank on the forge and use the bellows to heat it up until it is red with a little white stripe. Quickly use the sword on the anvil, and then the hammer on the sword. You must do this before it starts to cool. Repeat this a few times until you realize it is to heavy to use as a sword. Now use it on the trough to cool it.
