Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Where is the Staff of Wisdom?
1 of 6: Tydus is not being honest with you. There is no such thing as the Staff of Wisdom. But you must still follow his instructions and go to two caves.
2 of 6: The first cave is to the south. In this cave, you must at least get in far enough so that the bandits talk to you. (Look for Duncan's dagger in this cave too.)
3 of 6: Go back to Tydus and explain that the Staff was not in that cave. He will send you to another cave, this time to the north.
4 of 6: Trust the demon inside. Then get those two treasure chests open.
5 of 6: The keys for the chests are in the same room. One is behind a crate.
6 of 6: The other key is in the mouth of the watcher.
