Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

How can I find the Lycaeum?

  • 1 of 4: Tydus will send you on a wild goose chase in search of a "Staff of Wisdom".
  • 2 of 4: Get the heartstone and bring it back to Tydus, who will reveal the location of the Lycaeum and allow you inside it.
  • 3 of 4: Go up to the upper floor of Tydus' house and get aboard the flying basket.
  • 4 of 4: The basket stops at every house in town first before stopping briefly at the Lycaeum so you can get off.
