 Thread: Bug in Moonglow Magic Shop |
|
|
Yes, I am talking of that secret room, but the problem is that I can't return in the room with the yellow potions, for a bug with the magic lift.
I solved the problem entering in the basement of Mariah's home, and then using the fly cheat. So I reached the storeroom (it is in the same map of Mariah's basement) and was free to enter the secret area, clicking on the small gargoyle statue.

I totally liked the crazy Sultan living in Spektran (Martingo, I think). He lived in that big palace completely alone, but he imagined of living with many slave-wives. 
I remember that during his dialogue with the Avatar, he often stopped talking for kissing or giving orders to his wives, leaving his guests astonished (the dialogue for this NPC was so well written that I laughed a lot, even if on the screen you can only see the Sultan sitting).
I also liked the fairy in Ambrosia, for the same reason, it was a little funny and entertaining scene. I remember a line like this: "She smacks on your cheek the ooziest kiss you ever felt", or something similar, and all the companions was disgusted at this sight!

Forum: Ultima 9 |
There is this strange isle in the seas to the north of New Magincia and west of Moonglow, completely made of rock and totally empty and useless.
From the water around it comes one of the giant column, and on the map the entrance of Hythloth is marked near this isle (although it is more like the exit then the entrance).
What is this isle, is the Isle of Fire or what?

Forum: Ultima 9 |
I have found a new bug in U9 (strange, they are so few...) that doesn't seem to be reported anywhere.
In the magic shop in Moonglow there is a cage-like magic lift, activated by 4 orbs at the corners of the shop. This lift takes you to a yellow potion storage, through a tunnel with green and purple lights.
From this place you can come back using the same lift, but if you try to return to the secret storage a second time, you will be teleported to the tunnel with lights, but without the lift, and you will be stuck there forever.
I suppose there is no way to correct this bug, tell me if I am wrong? (I'm using the 1.19 patch, I think it's the last)
I'm trying to return there, because I read there is the entrance to a secret dungon with small pirates, and other weird things...

Deactivate Num Lock before starting the game, this will solve the problem. |
It works!! Thank you!
I had already tried starting the game without the music patch, then deleting dosbox 0.63 and installing 0.65, then restarting without the patch from a previous savegame, finally restarting from the beginning, but the problem was still there (I was thinking of playing U5 from an old computer I still have!)
It is strange that I played U5 for some weeks without ever deactivating Num Lock.... and I had no trouble.
However thanks to the both of you for the help!

| Thread: Keyboard bug |
|
|
Can someone help me with a little problem I'm having with U5 ?
Here is its description: I can't use anymore the keys 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9 from the keyboard, only the 5 and 0 work. They worked perfectly until today!
This is bad because when the game asks how many hours I want to rest, or how many spells I want to mix, I can only say 5 or quit (using 0).
Quitting the game and then reloading doesn't help.
I'm playing U5 using DosBox 0.63, and the Amiga music patch.
Any suggestion is welcome!

This is what Arcadion says in U8:
"Perhaps we shall meet again in the distant future. Time does strange things to those who travel the worlds, as you doubtless know. I shall have to try to remember what you have said."

This is just wonderful, I like it so much! When he was finally free from Erethian and then the Avatar, he was immediately bound again by someone else on Pagan!

Speaking of Pagan, what about Arcadion beeing there and forgetting about the Avatar and Britannia?

1.- I was drunk, I didn´t pay too much attention and I forgot.
2.- I wasn´t drunk, was trying to end the bloody game quickly so I could study without the feeling of "one more place of power to disable"
3.- {insert your favourite explanation here} |
Mors Gotha never speaks of the blackrock serpent. It is a goblin in the sewers of the Castle in Britannia that speaks of it, and how he got it from a dying man that said only "Pagan".
I think that the goblin was drunk, because this doesn't make sense.

| Thread: Ultima 8 silver coin |
|
|
What the coin found in the original U8 box should represent? For example in the U6 box was found the moonstone, in U9 the tarot cards, and they are all item that can be found also in the game.
The U8 coin doesn't seem one of the money used in the game, the obsidian coins, because it seems more like a silver coin. For the same reason I don't think it is either the sorcerer's blackrock symbol used for storing the spells. What is it?

| Thread: The Titans in U8 |

I am playing U9 for the first time right now, I was so discouraged by all the negative reviews and the bad comments that I didn't buy it.
Now I have bought U9 on eBay, but I've not met Pyros yet (I reached Yew yesterday) but I red something in the manual about the ritual of summoning Pyros, so when I will get to it, I will see...

| Thread: The Titans in U8 |
|
|
I have a question about the Titans that comes to my mind every time I complete Ultima 8. Some weeks ago I beat the game once again, so this time I turn the question to you Ultima experts. 
What happened to the 4 Titans after the Avatar drained their powers with the blackrock fragments? Was they killed in the process, or just weakened? I remember Hydros saying "You will regret this day" while Lithos said "I shall return and destroy you", like as they had to regain their strenght before looking for revenge (IMHO).
Someone has an answer, or it doesn't exist, and is just up to interpretation?

I like it because it is more similar to how the Guardian looks in U7/8, with a skull-like face, the Guardian in U9 is a bit more "human".

Why taking inspiration from Super Mario? Do you want to create "Super Avatar Bros II : The Revenge" ?
I have a great suggestion: you can place a parachute on the top of the giant head, so the Avatar could jump off from it and land doing parachuting, like in GTA!!!

Corv, your new avatar is the coolest thing I've ever seen! 
Is it a in-game screenshot of the giant Guardian head seen in the end of U8?

|

Thank you for the explanation Sowser
You are right it is a quote from the song "Not To Touch the Earth", I found that on wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lizard_King
It also says that the Lizard King is a character created by Jim Morrison, and is often quoted in various videogames, cartoons, films ecc.
They should add U7SI to the list!

Maybe you are right. I tried using the mushrooms on the Avatar, and I noticed that in this case not only he speaks the weird sentences randomly, but also the companions speak the same when you talk to them and all the items in the world are referred as "Oink!" (the same as the copy protection failure).
However I cannot remember anyone in the game saying "I am the Lizard King! I can do anything!". There is also a unique sound effect playing when the character tells this, and after that he will start shaking like crazy.
