Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

How should I get started in this dungeon?

  • 1 of 5: The eyeballs will watch your every move.  Most of what you will be doing concerns dodging or otherwise outsmarting those watchers.
  • 2 of 5: The first room gives you a taste of what is in store for you ahead.  Press the red button.  Stand by as a "watcher" eye appears and shoots at the target, causing the force field to disappear.  Walk up to the portcullis and it will open.
  • 3 of 5: The next room contains two watchers and two barred doorways.  To get through each of the doors, you'll need to turn the watchers around so they won't see as you approach them.
  • 4 of 5: To turn the eyes, walk around behind them and look up.
  • 5 of 5: Hit the target above with a couple of arrows to turn the watcher eyes around to the opposite direction.  Then run quickly to the door of your choice.
