Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

Where is the Tome of Demonology?

  • 1 of 5: The book is inside a cave down to the southeast of the main entrance into the town.
  • 2 of 5: There is no need to go all the way down to the beach.  Just walk and slide down to the valley area on the left as you exit the top of Valoria.
  • 3 of 5: Then look for the opening beyond an arched rockway.  There is a dead body near the entrance of the cave.  (Coordinates: 87 degrees 12' N; 47 degrees 31 W)
  • 4 of 5: Defeat the Demon inside and search the cave for the Tome.  (This battle was almost too easy.  When I got there, the demon had his back to me and never turned around!  Two swipes of my Blackrock Sword and he was history.)
  • 5 of 5: The book you seek is at the back of the cave on a ledge near a lava pool.  It is identified as "The Book of Three".  (Note: Be sure and search this cave well.  It is full of reagents -- including the hard-to-find Mandrake Root.)
