Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
How can I open the barred doors in the room with 8 wheel valves?
1 of 6: I call this the "Wheel Room" on my map because it contains 8 wheel-shaped switches on various walls. Turning the valves, in a special order, will open both exits.
2 of 6: When you click on one of the wheels, notice what color lights come on.
3 of 6: Red lights come on to open the north door, and white for the east door, which is at the top of a slight ramp.
4 of 6: The first wheel to turn is in the middle horizontal corridor (you can see the ramp leading to the east door), on the side of the southeast wall.
5 of 6: Face the northern barred door and look to the left of it. Click on that wheel as number 2.
6 of 6: Because the rest of the solution is so hard to describe, refer to my illustration below.
