Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

Skeletons!! Help!

  • 1 of 3: Skeletons are very persistent and can be fierce in battle.
  • 2 of 3: Staffed weapons are very effective against skeletons -- especially the Bladed Staff and the Staff of the Dead.
  • 3 of 3: After you slay them, their bones reassemble in a matter of seconds.  If you plan to hang around the same room or area for a time, pick up their rib cage and put it in your backpack.  Then deposit it elsewhere, preferably in a place where no other skeletons reside.
