Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

I'm having trouble killing Demons!

  • 1 of 7: Demons are really tough and the Hellhounds they call forth compound the problem.  Some of them seem to be completely invincible.
  • 2 of 7: Those that can be defeated will eventually succumb to the force of your Blackrock Sword or the excellent Frost Sword if you have one.  Casting a 4th Circle -- Freeze Spell also works well.
  • 3 of 7: For those that simply will not fall, it may be best to avoid them instead.  They don't wander far from their original location.  Simply run past them if you can.
  • 4 of 7: Did you notice that they materialize out of nowhere the minute you walk into their area?
  • 5 of 7: They will only appear if they can see you!
  • 6 of 7: If you are invisible, you can explore without worrying about them.
  • 7 of 7: Drink a Black Potion or cast an Invisibility Spell.  Just remember that the effect is not permanent, so get out of there as quickly as possible.
