Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Button Panel Room
1 of 6: The panel has 9 green buttons and one red button. Clicking on the red button fires a globe that bounces around the room looking for a target. Each of the green buttons makes a target appear at predetermined spots on the walls.
2 of 6: This is essentially a game of concentration. The object is to get the globe to ricochet from one target to another until all targets are hit. You must start over if there is no target for the orb to hit. Press each button only once, but all of them must be used.
3 of 6: To begin, click on the top green button and then on the red button. The globe will fire and hit the target, bouncing off of it seeking another.
4 of 6: Press another button at random as soon as it hits the target. If you guessed right, the globe will hit another target. If you guessed wrong, start again, choosing another. (Keep reading for the solution.)
5 of 6: From left to right and top to bottom, number each button from 1 through 10 beginning with the top center button and ending with the rightmost one on the bottom row. (The red button is number 8 in this example.) Then, click on the buttons in the following order. (Wait to press the next button until after the orb hits a target.) 1, 8, 6, 7, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5. It may be easier to follow my Graphic Solution.
6 of 6: When you solve the puzzle correctly, a door will open leading to the next chamber -- the Red Floor Room.
