Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Should I kill the Wyrmguard?
1 of 5: Do you have any reason to distrust what he says?
2 of 5: Iolo was a Bard. This Wyrmguard sang as you walked across the bridge.
3 of 5: Given that Despise is the dungeon corresponding to the City of Compassion, perhaps it would be beneficial to show compassion to him and not kill him.
4 of 5: He is telling the truth. Though you can still complete the game if you kill him, it is to your benefit not to. If you kill him you will lose one point of mana -- and -- you will never have a chance to obtain the best bow in the game -- Iolo's Bow.
5 of 5: Believe him and at the end of the conversation choose "Very well, I will have mercy on you." Music should play letting you know that you gained more Karma (and mana).
