Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Where can I train in fighting with 2-handed weaponry?
1 of 3: If you help him retrieve his dagger, Duncan (just outside of the Dungeon Deceit on the outskirts of Moonglow) will train you for free the first time, if your dexterity is high enough. The move he teaches you is a swipe to the head of your enemy and seems to be most effective against taller foes like trolls and brutes.
2 of 3: For 2500 gold, Duncan will show you another move. His second lesson is a way to make a low circle with your weapon, which hits all enemies about waste high within range.
3 of 3: The Master level can be obtained in the Underwater City. The maneuver you learn is essentially a double-attack move. When performed, it swings your weapon around in front of you and then from side to side. It is effective but somewhat slower to execute.
