Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Can I get items from locked chests without the key?
1 of 4: If you don't have a key, there is still a way to try and get items out of a locked treasure chest. (This does not work on all treasure chests, but does work on some of the most important ones.)
2 of 4: While continually pressing the "X" keyboard key, scan all the surface areas of the chest watching what is described on screen.
3 of 4: If there is something inside, its name will be displayed very briefly when you pass your cursor over it.
4 of 4: Leaving your cursor on that very spot, left click your mouse and hold it. If you've grabbed up the item, you will be able to drag it into your pack.
