Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

How can I get to Yew?

  • 1 of 7: Go to Britain and talk to Lord British.
  • 2 of 7: He will open up a previously blocked cave that leads to Yew.
  • 3 of 7: Go south out of Britain as if you were going to Paws.  Turn north at the sign post and take the "unmarked" path.
  • 4 of 7: You will pass under a rock archway and a house with an angry man and finally get to the cave entrance.
  • 5 of 7: The cave forks two ways, but it doesn't matter which fork you take.  (There is a good amount of treasure in both forks.)
  • 6 of 7: When you exit the cave, watch out for a large number of goblins.  Kill the biggest, baddest goblin (the one with the armor).  His battleaxe is good for killing the underlings.
  • 7 of 7: Head west and then take a north-south road.  Look for a bridge leading to Yew.
