Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
What should I do in the beginning?
1 of 6: Luckily Hawkwind is still with you when you first arrive, so look for ankhs and click on them for advice.
2 of 6: You probably noticed that you lost all of the items you picked up on Earth, so you'll need equipment.
3 of 6: Search the place thoroughly and pick up everything you find. Open the treasure chest in the corner. Some of the items in and around the chest are directly connected to the type of character you are playing.
4 of 6: Look for books on tables and shelves. There is no need to carry the books with you (they take up valuable space in your pack), but you will want to read them and take notes.
5 of 6: Pick up the weapon (a sword or staff) that is propped in the corner of the hallway and proceed down the stairs.
