Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

What exactly am I supposed to do to complete this quest?

  • 1 of 4: Talk to the lighthouse keeper in Britain.  He will tell you that 3 gems are missing.  He will also tell you which lighthouse needs which gem.
  • 2 of 4: Find the three gems (emerald, sapphire, and ruby).  They will be in their raw state when you pick them up, so get each one cut.
  • 3 of 4: Each gem fits in the very top of the lighthouse in a holder.  You will receive a short cut scene when you place each one correctly.
  • 4 of 4: When you have finished placing all three, collect your reward (100 gold pieces and raised karma) by talking to the Britain lighthouse keeper again.
