Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
I've cleansed the shrine, but where are the Rune and Sigil?
1 of 6: Look up in the air. If the Sigil and Rune are suspended in the air above the shrine, there may still be a way to get them. (This may be a bug in the game or a problem with some video cards. Some players experience this problem after cleansing the Shrine of Compassion, and it happened to me with the Shrine of Spirituality.)
2 of 6: Climbing up higher might be the ticket for you. Try stacking inventory objects one on top of the other and then climbing them. If that doesn't work, keep reading.
3 of 6: You may be able to knock them down or grab them from a distance with a spells.
4 of 6: To get the Rune, I used the Linear spell Gust to jar it down. It fell on the ground where I was able to retrieve it.
5 of 6: The only spell that worked on the Sigil was Fireball. If you don't have Fireball yet, try others -- like Lightning Bolt.
6 of 6: The Telekinesis spell didn't work for me, but you can try it and see.
