Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
It is too dark in here!
1 of 4: Most dungeons have at least a few torches to help light the way. If one is not lit, try casting Ignite to turn it on.
2 of 4: Bring in at least one torch or lantern with you -- and arm it.
3 of 4: Many lanterns sit on top of boxes and shelves. If a lantern is not lit, try clicking on it to turn it on. If nothing happens, the lantern is probably out of oil and can be refilled if you have an oil flask with you.
4 of 4: Later in the game you will find an illuminating crown (the Helm of Radiance) and have more powerful spells that can be used to light up an area more effectively.
