Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
How can I get down and into the City?
1 of 4: I never got down into the Underwater village. I tried over 50 times, but could never get the path right. All I can give you is advice I received from others. Maybe you will have more luck than I did.
2 of 4: Move all of your heavy armor to your pack and save your game before trying this swim! It is a ridiculously difficult journey following tiny bubbles on an unclear path to the bottom of the ocean. (To see the bottom better, it helps to cast the 4th circle spell Day while standing on the platform.)
3 of 4: Jump in on the northeastern end of the platform into the largest group of bubbles. Then swim down, following the bubble trail.
4 of 4: Your objective on the bottom is to click on the two statues holding glowing bluish spheres. This action will open the magic barrier in front of the entrance. After the barrier is removed, swim into the city, where you are supposed to be able to breathe normally.
