ULTIMA UNDERWORLD I  - Part 1
     All you ever wanted to know about the Stygian Abyss
             a walkthrough by Hazel Bradshaw

@~Hazel also kindly provided full maps to the game. These are not
@~in a format which can be used in the magazine so have been put
@~onto a disk and added to the library. However, the solution
@~refers to the maps, so if you want a copy of the disk, send me a
@~blank disk and stamp and I'll send a copy back by return of
@~post.

Make sure you have the upgraded version or your game will crash at
some stage and you will have to send for the upgrade, re-load and
start again from scratch.  This happened to me on Level 3 and I
was not amused!

For those who just need a few hints, I have listed below the 8
Talismans and how to find them, and a few essentials which are
less than obvious.

The Talismans
-------------

1    Standard of Honour
     Given to you by Dorna for killing Rodrick.
2    Taper of Sacrifice
     Zak will trade it for food.
3    Ring of Humility
     Derek tells you how to use the levers on Level 5. Give him
     the gemcutter you got from Goldthirst as a reward for killing
     the gazer in his mines.
4    Book of Honesty
     Morlock tells you how to find this.
5    Wine of Compassion
     Dr. Owl tells you where to find this as a reward for freeing
     Murgo from the Lizardmen.
6    Cup of Wonder
     Chant the three-part mantra you learnt by burning incense
     and the shrines will direct you where to play the flute tune
     Eyesnack taught you.

7    Sword of Justice
     Take the blade you found in the S.E. corner of Level 3 and
     the hilt from the tombs on Level 5 to Shak to repair.
8    Shield of Valour
     Presented to you by the golem on Level 6.

To make rotworm stew, put all the ingredients in a bowl and click
on the recipe.

Maze of Silas - to get the code for the precious levers, read the
silver and gold dots on the two tombstones to the N.W. of the
knights' quarters on Level 4.  Take the dots in order from left to
right. (Clue from Biden) You must have dragon-scale boots.  Take
the scales given to you by Sethar and the spider-thread from Level
1 to Marrowsuck the tailor and he will make boots for you.

Go down to Level 8 three times before you attempt Tyball's maze.
Sleep after killing Tyball, then destroy his orb with orb-rock.
Carasso on Level 8 directs you to Garamon's bones.  USE the bones
on the tombstone of the empty grave on Level 5 to bury them.  The
answers to Garamon's questions are 'The Talismans' and 'The
Volcano'.

Assemble the key of infinity by dropping the keys of courage,
truth and love on top of each other in your inventory. When you
and the Slasher of Veils are sucked through the Moongate, all you
can do is run for your life!

@~Just a general intro this month - next issue we'll get down to
@~the nitty-gritty!
