Ultima IX: Ascension

Objects Do Not Roll Downhill
Find yourself a nautilus shell and carry it everywhere. When you
need to get over an obstacle too high to climb or jump, simply
place the shell halfway up and jump on it. Now you can leap higher
up. Actually, the best thing to use is a lighthouse gem, as they
are large, flat-topped, and are the largest thing that you can
store in your backpack.

Demon In Moonglow
The demon in Moonglow guarding the heartstone can be killed very
easily using a summon undead scroll. Just stay far enough away
that he won't approach you, save your game, and summon the
skeleton to attack it (if a zombie appears, reload the game; it
takes forever for the zombie to kill it). Then kill the skeleton,
and you are done.

Speaking of which, when killing skeletons always pick up a body
part from it; this will keep it from reassembling. But make sure
you pick up the same part (such as the ribcages) if you face more
than one skeleton; they seem to share body parts, You can drop
these pieces when you get away from the area.

Basic Cheats
In the Ultima IX directory there is a file called default.kmp.
When opened in a standard Wordpad or other text editor you will
find the following text line:
[Cheat Commands]
Simply add the following lines underneath it:
ALT+SHIFT+I = TOGGLE_AVATAR_INVULNERABLE
ALT+SHIFT+L = TOGGLE_AVATAR_FLY
During gameplay the corresponding keys (ALT+SHIFT+I & ALT+SHIFT+L)
will activate the cheat functions.
You may also bind the following codes just as you did the ones
above:
PASS_ONE_HOUR
PASS_ONE_MINUTE
SUNRISE_SUNSET
TOGGLE_AVATAR_FAST
TOGGLE_STORMS
TOGGLE_SUN
TOGGLE_WIND
UNPASS_ONE_HOUR
UNPASS_ONE_MINUTE

Monster Cheat
Open up the backpack (press B). Monsters seem to ignore you when
you have the backpack open. You can hack and slash at them as you
wish then. In order not to let the backpack obstruct your view,
you could drag it to the edge of the screen.

Hidden Teleporters Cheat
Behind the Avatar's house near the training dummy is a fence with
no gate. Normally, you can't get out. However, if you climb the
dummy you can jump over the fence. Or, using the fly cheat you can
simply clip straight through it. Behind this gate, hidden by a
bush near a large tree, is a lever. Pull it to reveals a variety
of teleporters that will outfit you with armor or take you to
various places in Britannia. Be alerted, though, that there's no
way to get back once you leave.  So, go to the Gypsy at the
Avatar's house on earth and choose your virtue/class. Next, pull
the secret lever behind the Avatar's house and equip yourself with
armor. Then, teleport into Britannia and make your way to the
tower where you first enter the world.  Open the door, walk in,
and once it's loaded, activate the fly cheat and fly up into the
room where you first appear.  Remove your armor, magic items, and
anything else you want to keep, and drop them in that room. Now,
exit the tower the same way you entered and fly up to the top
where you will find a teleporter.  Enter it and you will be taken
back to the tower with your stats adjusted for class as if you had
gone through the Gypsy's Moongate, the proper items in the chest,
and everything you dropped in the room initially.

----------
The Ascension Designers have issued this warning: Using cheats can
cause certain parts of the game to "break." For example, using the
fly cheat can cause the player to possibly fly over crucial
trigger and flag-setting areas, causing triggers to be broken and
some parts of the story to not progress. The invulnerability cheat
will also have a similar effect on the game. You may find yourself
loading a savegame from much earlier because a crucial trigger or
flag was not set off at the appropriate place in the game.
