     WALK THROUGH for ULTIMA UNDERWORLD 2 : Labyrinth of Worlds
     ----------------------------------------------------------
     Version 1.1                                   Mitch Aigner

 
      Throughout this text, the following abbreviations will be used
to reference which level of which world something is on:

Worlds: Britannia          (B1  - B5)
        Prison Tower       (PT1 - PT8)
        Killorn Keep       (KK1 - KK2) plus Alternate Dimension (KKA)
        Ice Caverns        (IC1 - IC2)
        Talorus            (T1  - T2)
        Scintillus Academy (SA1 - SA8) plus Vault (SAV)
        Pits of Carnage    (PC1 - PC3)
        Loth's Tomb        (LT1 - LT4)
        Ethereal Void      (EVR, EVB, EVY, EVP) Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple

     Okay folks,... here we go. The following is a brief run through the
different worlds, and a rough outline of the quests involved. Detailed
info appears later in this document.
     In each of the 8 alternate worlds (not Britannia) there are always
two things you have to do: A) Find the small Blackrock Gem

GENERAL NOTES:
--------------

      First, a word of warning: Everything doesn't happen the same
way each time you play a new game. Some conversations and events in
the castle vary (so talk to everyone often,.. yes everyone). Also,
the locations of Runestones varies, sometimes they are not found
where indicated (this seems to depend on the character type that
you selected,... my Druid seemed to find them all where they should
be,... my Fighter didn't). Trainers don't always award the same
number of points per Skill Point (and sometimes using two skill 
points in one conversation will pay off better than using one point
in each of two conversations). All in all, there seems to be quite
a bit a variability. 
    A LOT depends upon your character type. For Example:

FIGHTER: Found 3 Runestones and a Short Sword in secret room (bedroom)
PALADIN: Found 5 Runestones and a Short Sword
SHEPARD: Found 5 Runestones and a Short Sword
DRUID:   Found 6 Runestones and a Dagger
FIGHTER: Found 1 Runestone and a wand after killing Liche (PC3) the
         first time. Replaying the battle from the prior saved game
         produced 1 runestone, a wand, and a scroll. Re-playing the
         same scenario the third time produce a wand and a scroll. The
         fourth time yeilded 2 runestones, a wand, and a scroll.

      The game is very non-linear. This means that you can't necessarily
complete each level and go on to the next. Instead, you will find that
you spend a lot of time re-visiting places. Examples are the nasty
monsters in the first few levels of the Britannia sewers (you will 
have to bypass some of these battles and return when you are strong
enough to deal with them), or the requirement that you return to the
first three alternate worlds to destroy the Guardians place of power
once you gain the Wand of Altara. In addition, re-visiting these early
worlds later in the game can result in conversation options with the
residents that were not available previousely.

      There is no time limit in the game. All occurances in the worlds
are event-driven (not time dependent). If you are stuck at some point,
waiting around or sleeping won't help. The game progresses only as certain
quests are fulfilled.

      Spells of the 4th Circle and above may not be cast in Britannia.
This is due to the fact that giant Blackrock gem impedes the operation
of magic (Nystul tells you about this in your 1st conversation with
him). Magic works fine in all of the other worlds.

       Upon start-up, the contents of the secret room attached to
your bedroom will vary according to the type of character selected.

      The large Blackrock Gem on level 5 will transport you to the
other worlds. Look for one facet of the gem that is brighter than
the others. If you walk into the lit facet, it will take you to that
world. Only one facet at a time is illuminated, and it will change
to another if you watch it for a while. Not all worlds are accessible
at first. As certain quests are completed, more worlds will become
available to you.

      If you are killed while in an alternate world, you are sent
back to the large Blackrock Gem in Britannia. You are also given
full health and Mana points. However,... 200 Experience points are
deducted. So save your game often.

Skill levels will not go above 30 in any given category.

      You would be well advised to:

1) Improve your Search skills early in the game. (10 to 20 points should
   be adequate).
2) Save your game before talking to someone.
3) Talk to all of the folks in the castle often. (and be REALLY
   nice to Nanna !! --- see "BUGS" section below).
4) Visit with Altara (KK1) often.

FAQ: No, there is no speech in either the intro, or endgame. It
     seems to only occur when the Guardian makes an occasional
     appearance to taunt you. 
FAQ: You can't get through the massive double-doors on PT2.
FAQ: The "Listener" is found in Britannia (not Killorn Keep).
FAQ: Items needed for quests are generally NOT in the world where the
     quest was first mentioned.


YOUR MISSION:
------------

1) Find the small Blackrock Gem in each world. Have them treated by
   Nystul, and then "use" them on the large Blackrock Gem (B5).
2) Find the place where the Guardian draws power in each world (and
   disable it with the Wand of Altara).
3) Find the Horn of Praecor Loth.
4) Trap an air-Djinn within your body.
5) Destroy the massive Blackrock Gem which surrounds the castle.

THINGS TO DO:
------------

Use a "torch" on "corn" to make popcorn.
Use an "oil flask" on a "piece of wood" to make a torch.
Use some "thread" on a "pole" to make a fishing pole (fish for barter)
    (warning: only do this if you have a second "pole").
Use "rock hammer" to reduce boulders to sling stones.
Use "pole" (not fishing) to activate switches you cannot reach.
Use "lump of wax" on "thread" to make a candle.

      for it special ($100).

Beware of anyone peddling "Dragon skin boots".


CHARACTER CREATION
------------------

      I would suggest spending some effort up front in creating a good
character. Pay particular attention to the Strength attribute. If you
do not have a Strength of 25 or more, you will not be able to wear a
full set of neat "Plate Armor", and still have enough carrying capacity
for all your other neat stuff.
      Create some charcters and throw them all away, until you get an
idea of what a "good" set of stats looks like.
      I found Druids, Paladins, Shepards, and Fighters to be pretty
good bets.

Recommended Skills:
------------------

     This is MY opinion about what skills to concentrate upon
developing. Your opinion will certainly be different.

Attack  - LOTS
Defense - LOTS
Weapon  - LOTS (choose only 1 of Sword / Axe / Mace / Missile)
Mana    - LOTS
Lore    - LOTS (so you can identify all these neat magical items)
Casting - LOTS (so you don't get so many "backfires")
Search  - Little
Acrobat - Little (so you don't get hurt in falls)



BRITANNIA
---------
1) Get Sewer Key from Dupre (B1)
2) Convince Fissif (B3) to go quietly (he then becomes a Trainer).
3) Get Armoury Key - In debris pile in pit behind Reaper (B4) (It's
   there,... keep looking), also a magical longsword (pick up the plants).
4) Find large Blackrock Gem (B5). This is used to teleport to the
   other worlds.

   There are two locked "massive" doors on level 3. One you can get to
both sides of easily, the other requires a key which Charles will find
for you about midway through the game.

Castle Events: Water shortage (resolved after you visit IC2)
               Servant's strike (avoided by taking complaints of Nanna
                    to Lord British). NOTE: See "BUGS" !!!
               Lady Tory murdered (unresolved until later)
               Charles finds a key
               Nelson murdered (murderer obvious)


PRISON TOWER
------------

Quests: Free Bishop and Milenus
        Free Felix and Marcus (and get the Cornucopia)
        Free Garg

FAQ: No you can't get through those big double doors on PT2.

1) Pick up the "Food Delivery Voucher" and pass yourself off as the
   grocery boy.
2) Talk to Felix (PT4) about eliminating Freemis.
3) Talk to the goblin armourer. Many possibilities here. If you can get
   him to a "peaceful" state, you may even be able to swipe a pair of
   neat Fraznium Gauntlets (recommended). When you swipe the gauntlets,
   make sure that none of the other guards in the area are watching.
4) Talk to Borne (PT6) and pass yourself off as the new interrogator
   that he is expecting to arrive. He will give you a pair of "Fraznium
   Gauntlets", and the password (password varies from game to game).
5) Talk to Borne again and demand the set of keys. He will give you
   another password and send you to Janar (PT4). Go to Janar and get
   the set of keys.
6) Talk to Bishop (PT8), using the Fraznium Gauntlets to penetrate the
   force field. Give him the second pair of Fraznium Gauntlets. Bishop
   will then tell you about the Gem that you are looking for.
7) Go back down to Borne and demand that he hand over the Blackrock Gem.
8) Use the keys to release Garg (PT6). Garg will kill every goblin in
   the entire tower. You may now pillage at your leisure.
9) Go back to Felix to collect the Cornucopia (box). This box will
   generate food each time that you open it (food will appear on the
   floor in front of you). The box will operate for a limited number 
   of uses.

Super shorcut: Talk to Felix (PT4). Kill Janar (PT4), and take his keys.
               Use keys to release Garg (PT6). You now have free run
               of the Prison Tower.


KILLORN KEEP
------------

Quests: Find the Blue Banner of Killorn for Ogri (Praecor Loth's gravesite).
        Find out the history of the Trilkhai for Blackie. (Wisp in EVB)
        Find Amethyst Rod (T1) and Black Eggshell (B4 or LT1) for Altara.

FAQ: "The Listener" is to be found in Britannia (not KK). If you
     pay close attention when Altara gives you the special dagger,
     she will pinpoint the spot.

Blow out candles and throw away to avoid trap to alternate dimension.
An alternative is to cast an "Open" spell on the locked portcullis.
This will allow you to explore the Alternate Dimension later, without
destroying the trap.

    DON'T kill any Brain Creatures that you may find. They are what
is keeping the Keep up in the air. If you crash the Keep, you can still
win the game (assuming that you have the Wand of Altara), however if
you do, Altara will be dead, and you will miss some of the other nice
things that she can do for you.

    Talk to everyone (keep in mind that all but one works for the
infamous Guardian). You will have fun with Relk (he attacks you on
your second meeting). Kintara and Lobar can help you to answer the
questions of Mystell.

    Ask Altara if she knows Bishop.
    Altara is helpful throughout the game, you will want to go back
to her many times. (She can make a wand that you need to get through
the game).

KKA: There is a trap (carpet with candles) that will teleport you to
     an alternate dimension. This place is designed solely to kill you,
     and there is nothing of value to be found (except maybe a little
     experience and a couple of coins). The first part is a narrow
     hallway with rising/falling pillars. The hazard here is that they
     rise all the way to the ceiling and squash you (dead). The second
     part has numerous fireballs flying around. Since you will not have
     a "Flam" stone at this stage of the game, you cannot cast the
     "Fire protection" spell (result: death). If you ride the pillar
     up in the fireball area, there are two buttons and a chain. If
     you manipulate these correctly, a third area opens up,... filled
     with slippery floors and hostile imps. Walking into the large pit
     you find will teleport you back to the beginning of this nightmare.
     Walking into either one of the lava-falls will get you out.


ICE CAVERNS:
------------

Quests: Find the lost city of Anodunos

FAQ: There are no keys to open any of the doors in Anodunos. You
     will have to bash down the "sturdy" ones, and lockpick or
     use the "Open" spell on the "massive" ones.

      Jump up and down to stop slipping on the ice. "Walk on Water"
spell comes in really handy in this world.

1) Find your way down to level 2 and visit with Mokpo. He has some
   interesting visions. When you get to the Ethereal Void, you will
   wish that you had written these down.

2) Find the Dam Control Tower and make your way through the maze to
   find the key, and the door (A two step process). Release the
   floodgates.

3) Re-explore the waterways to find the Lost City of Anodonus. Talk
   to the "dire ghost" there,... and keep an eye out for a secret
   door. Use the Orb many times, for a clue. (Note: the many visions
   you see in the Orb are not all from the past,... one of them is of
   the very near future,... and tells you of your ultimate objective).

4) Pick up the Blackrock Gem on the ice plains by the river in the 
   south-central areas.

    Don't forget to locate the Filanium deposits. You will need to
    know where they are later. (Note: they appear as "watery mud").

Dam maze controls - Key: Chain, switch, lever all up, pushbutton light
                         (flip switch & push button to achieve this)
                   Door: Chain still up, Switch & lever down, button
                         dark (flip lever & switch down, and push button)

Instructions for Dam control
  "Manipulating the controls causes the maze to change in a two step
process. To get the key, make sure the lever, switch, and chain are
all up. To reach the door, lower the lever and switch, and press the
button. Walk through the force field to get to maze. Destroy this
note afterwards, else we'll both hang."


TALORUS
-------

      The brass plates in the floor propel you upwards. This is used
to travel between levels, and to leave Talorus. You just have to run
over the plates at the right speed.
      Don't forget to pick up any "Nutritious Wafers" you find (light
weight,... and very filling), or any "Light Sphere"s (brighter than
the lantern,... but shorter duration).

1) Talk to the Historian
2) Talk to the Futurian and get Control Crystal M4Y8
3) Talk to the Data Integrator (this conversation doesn't go well)
4) Talk to the Dialogicians and get scroll
5) Talk to the Data Integrator again (goes much better this time)
6) Go down to level 2 and get the Delgnizator, and crystal E0Y2
7) Go to Bliy Skup Chamber and kill Bliy Skup Ductosnore
8) In chamber: place M4Y8 control crystal in yellow input hopper
               place E0Y2 pattern crystal in purple input hopper
               place Delgnizator on blue repulsor circle
               pull the chain
9) Go back to the Historian, and he will teleport you to the gem
   that you are looking for (if you haven't found it already).

NOTE: There is a small room with a switch and a brass plate, located
      right next to the Bliy Skup chamber. This is the "Light Sphere"
      re-charging station! Real handy!


SCINTILLUS ACADEMY (Final Exam)
-------------------------------

Note: Mana will NOT regenarate on levels 2 thru 7. These levels CAN
      be solved without it,... but it sure makes life easier in a few
      places. You will need some magic in the Vault, but that is on
      level 8 (where Mana DOES regenerate).

Interesting stuff: Try out the vending machines. (bring some coins).

Level 1: Drop the Gold Coffer on the Pressure Plates to open the
         three Portcullises. The right-hand Portcullis is the exit. The
         other two are traps.
Level 2: Push button to open Portcullis. In hallway with arrow traps,
         timing is everything.
Level 3: Use "Telekinesis" (wand provided in hallway as you enter).
         First, jump on the pillars and head to the west wall, push
                the button.
         Then, jump north 2 pillars,.... then west 2 pillars.
         Then, use "Telekinesis" to activate the pushbutton for the
               row NEXT to the one you are in. You must be standing on
               the very edge of your pillar to reach, and look around
               in the dark (or use "Daylight" or a "Light Sphere")
               to find the button. Then jump to exit. Unfortunately,
               the cool Wand of Telekinesis disappears when you exit
               this level.
Level 4: Find the two keys on the NW and SE corner towers. Exit in NE.
Level 5: Use pole provided to flip all switches up. Be careful not to
         step on the Pressure Plates in front of each switch. Then go
         through the door and jump for the Key. Do not hit the button
         or pull the chain. Also, don't forget to pick up the Moonstone.
Level 6: Jump over plates to get key (arrow traps). Stepping on any of
         the plates results in a "headless" appearing at that plate. The
         arrow traps are triggered when you attempt to take the items
         in the center. After that, it's just a matter of good mapping
         notes (and determination).
Level 7: "Levitate" spell is nice,... otherwise:   MAP:

                 Exit
                  |
                 G|            First swim for the Key and the goodies.
              X-X-X X X
              |                K - Key
              X X X X X        G - goodies
             K|                X - Pillars
North <-      X X X-X-X
              |   |   |        Save your game after each successful
              X-X-X X X        jump to avoid irritation. The "Shift-J"
                      |        key combination makes these jumps much
              X X X X Enter    easier (Read about it in your manual).

      Each column has an arrow symbol on the top. The arrow points
to another column, which will disappear permanently once you step on
the first column. If you can land on the very edge of a column (this
is difficult, but not impossible) without steping on the arrow, then
the column it points to will not disappear.


Level 8: 3.5.2.9 Count the alcoves from the red carpet (clockwise)
         Don't miss the key behind a bed, or the secret room.

Vault  : Yikes! First, cast "Dispel Rune" to avoid time trap (or use
                       the "Flameproof" spell otherwise).
                Then, cast "Telekinesis" to activate button. Or you can
                      shoot the button with a "Magic Arrow" spell.
                Then, swim to find a switch, then swim to find the door.
                      Hint: take a left initially, then a right at the
                            first intersection.
                Then, walk through walls to find the door switch.
                      Hint: go straight in, and straight out.
                Then, swim into the Red Moongate.
                Then, cast "Flameproof", open all 3 doors, and go
                      through purple Moongate in the center building.
                Then, swim to the path and find the hidden room, go
                      too far and you will hit a nasty teleport trap.
                Then, find the hidden room behind the hidden room, if
                      you have some form of "Fraznium". Examine the 
                      floor here carefully.


PITS OF CARNAGE
---------------

Quests:  Get a Flam Runestone for Zogith (see Runestone locations)
         Get Sceptre of Deadly Seeker for Zoranthus (EVR)

There are several ways to do this world:

EASY WAY: 1) Talk to Dorstag (he refuses to give you the stone)
          2) Play the game with Blog (PC3), use a "Grey Stone", and he
             will become your friend (or pick up one of his "black
             stone"s you see laying there and let him win a few). Ask
             for his help in obtaining the Gem.
          3) Talk to Dorstag again, and ask for the stone.

HARD WAY: 1) Talk to Dorstag (he declines your challenge)
          2) Talk to Krilner
          3) Challenge Zaria (and defeat her)
          4) Challenge Dorstag (and defeat him)
             Note: You may have to challenge a few more fighters in 
                   order to establish your reputation as a bad dude.

REAL HARD: 1) Push Dorstag out of his rooms and down the hallway
           2) Kill him (Hint: He has trouble with Flame Strike, as well
              as Frost).
           3) Repeat with all of his guards. If you push them far
              enough away from Dorstag's Quarters, the others will
              not attack you.
           4) Raid the secret room in his quarters.

Don't forget to visit Zoranthus (PC2). Just hit the silver button (the
second one you find). You will need the Djinn-bottle he has. Pay close
attention to the instructions.

Note: I was able to kill Dorstag and all his guards in his quarters. I
      used up two Wands of Frost while standing in one of the doorways.
      By the time both wands had been used up, the only one standing
      was Dorstag (and he was in really rough shape).

Note: check the graffiti on the walls in the central area of level 1
      after you defeat Dorstag!


TOMB OF PRAECOR LOTH
--------------------

Quests: Find Trystero's bones for him (by jewelled axe and Gem)
        Talk to Praecor Loth for Helena
        Get Horn and Banner


Level 1: Get all 8 pieces of the map for level 3.
         * By skeletons
         * By Fire Elemental
         * Golem has one (on him)
         * Push button by stairway
         * Behind secret door by locked door
         * Behind door with 5 switches (flip them all down & push button)
         * Behind locked Portcullis
         * -------????? (I never did find the 8th piece)
NOTE: If you use these pieces to make a map of level 3,.. you cannot add
      your own notes to this map. (Look again and they're gone).

Level 2: Talk to the ghosts, and then do a little "Walk on Water"

Level 3: Hope to hell you have most of the map. Exit is at North-
         center edge of level. Life is much easier if you have a key,..
         Head for the NE quadrant, and two places with water. One place
         has a hidden switch on the opposite wall (near water-level),
         which will open a secret door (key). The other place has some
         buttons,... push them to unlock secret door (or just bash it).
Level 4: Kill the "Three" (Morphius, Lord Umbria, and Lethe).
         NOTE: You can bypass the first two of the "three" by declining
         their challenges and just walking past (provided that you
         found the Key on level 3) (un-verified rumor).
         Throw away candles fron pentagram to get through "Outer Space"
         Switch in area behind waterfall will open the massive double  doors.
         Fire Pit: just walk right over (invisible walkway).
         Talk to Praecor Loth and convince him that he's really dead.
         He will give you the Horn. Pick up the blue Banner while you
         are there.



ETHEREAL VOID
-------------

      If you have any LSD,... this would be a good time to take it.

FAQ: If your screen starts rocking, the color map goes nuts, and
     your health goes down,... it's not a bug. You're under psionic
     attack by a hostile "Brain Creature".

      The levels are divided into colors (Red, Yellow, Blue, Purple)

      When you complete each color, you will be dumped on top of a
white pyramid. Each time you step on one of the blocks of the pyramid,
it will change colors. When all of the blocks are the same color, a
moongate of that color will appear on the ramps above. This will take
you to some interesting places. When all 4 basic colors have been
completed, a fifth color (orange) becomes available. Do the pyramid
thing one more time, in orange, and the moongate will take you to the
base of the Shrine of Spirituality.


RED: Cast "Flameproof" before entering. A "Destroyer" guards the "Sceptre
     of Deadly Seeker" that you will need. Lots of Imps and Fire
     Elementals around. This is definitely the nastiest level in the
     Void,... so prepare.

YELLOW: Climb up on top of the maze. There is an "etched brass wall"
        where this is easy to do. Cruise around the highest level of
        the maze until you see a pillar/elevator in one corner (just
        like the moving pillars in Britannia level 3) Past this
        pillar is where you want to be. Remember what old Mokpo told
        you in the Ice Caverns? ("golden maze" "climb up on top of the
        walls").

BLUE: Barter with Prinx (he wants 2 "eyeballs" from a Brain Creature).
      Talk to a Wisp (white sparkles) to find out the history of the
      Trilkhai.
      Cruise down the exit hallway (more moving pillars) to the outer
      ring. Nasties await,... so prepare. In the center of the ring
      is an orange moongate on a pillar. Jump into the central pit,
      and use the "Bullseye" to bounce up to the gate. Mokpo: "an
      endless walkway, glowing blue" "jump".

PURPLE: Swim up the slippery hill and over the edge, follow the double
        arrow and use the "Bullseye"s to travel straight ahead. You
        will wind up on a narrow, slippery path,... that will lead
        through an image of the Guardian,... and into the Stick Maze.
        Past the maze (keep to the left,.. mostly), lies the goal.

SHRINE: For some reason, you are not dumped in the Shrine of Spirituality,
        but are teleported to the base of the tower that it lies on top
        of. There are several ways to get in (and out):
        A) Use "Levitate" of "Fly" to get to the top of the tower. Lower
           yourself until you are standing at floor level of the Shrine.
           Cast "Portal" to get through the bars (and back out).
        B) "Levitate" or "Fly" to the top of the tower. Throw one of the
           Moonstones through the bars. Throw the other Moonstone on
           the ground at the base. Cast "Gate Travel" on this
           Moonstone to get in (and "Gate Travel" again on the moonstone
           at the Shrine to get out,.. after remembering to pick it up).


ENDGAME:
-------

      Okay, now that you have found all 8 gems (and "used" them on the
big gem on B5),.... and destroyed all 8 places the Guardian was drawing
power from (with Altara's wand),... and you have the "Horn" of Praecor
Loth,... and the Djinn bottle from Zoranthus,... we're ready to go:

1) Cruise to the Filanium mud deposits (IC2, SE corner, "watery mud")
   and toss in a "colorless potion" of Basilisk oil. You will notice
   that "the thick oil permeates the mud".
2) Take a swim in the mud ("The oily mud coats your skin").
3) Cruise to EVR (Ethereal Void - Red) and take a bath in the lava pit
   you are dropped into ("The oily mud bakes on your skin"). You can
   also do this in the lava pit in the Brain Creature room on KK2.
4) Cruise to the "Sigil of Binding" (go through a few White moongates
   in the void until you get there,... there is a sign).
5) Cast an "Iron Flesh" spell, or drink a potion if you have one. ("The
   baked mud hardens into a clear glaze").
6) Stand in the center of the pentagram and set the Djinn bottle down.
   Break it with your weapon. If all goes well, the Djinn will enter
   your body,... otherwise you're dead (so SAVE before you try this).
7) Cruise to Killorn Keep and check out the soldiers barracks. Behind
   the door on the north wall you will find Mors Gotha. After a little
   verbal banter, she will attack you (along with about 6 guards). Once
   you have beat her up some, the Guardian will teleport her out of
   there (but you still have to deal with all of the guards).
   NOTE: if you haven't bashed down this door yet,.. it's about time.
8) Pick up the Spellbook she leaves behind, and return it to Nystul.
   He will ask two questions. Nell has the answers ("Throne room" and
   "4:00"). Note: Fissif said 4:15 ("4:15" or "4" also work).
9) Mors Gotha will re-appear in YOUR castle, and you will have to deal
   with her again (in a permanent fashion). She will also have a few 
   more guards with her,... who will also have to be dealt with.
10) Cruise to the Throne Room of Lord British. You will find the whole
   castle crew assembled. Tell Nystul that you are ready.
11) The rest is automatic,... Nystul casts a major spell, while you
   blow the horn (with the added "Oomph" provided by the air-Djinn).
   The castle is free, and Britannia is once again safe for Democracy.
   At least it would be except for that pin-head Lord British. Oh well,..
   you never really did care for politics anyway........

INTERESTING THINGS
------------------

Get Mokpo hooked on drugs!  After you have used the dream plants in
your sleep, take some to old Mokpo. He will provide you with more
clues as to how to conquer the Ethereal Void.

Find out what old Nystul keeps locked in his chest in the Library.

Talk to Nanna after you have been dipped in Filanium mud / Basilisk
Oil.

Re-visit Garg on PT6 later in the game, he has a letter for you.

You will find some dream "plants" in your travels. These are typically
found at gravesites, and have little pale green flowers that look
like "X"s. Eat one of these just before sleep for visions of the
Ethereal Void.

On level 3 of the Pits of Carnage, you will find a Liche in a secret
room. After you have cleaned out the room, stand in the center and
face East. Cast "Reveal".

Check out the graffiti on the walls in the center of PC1 after you
defeat Dorstag.

Time and Flame traps: If you see a glowing "Tym" or "Flam" symbol, it
      is a trap. You can either cast "Dispel Rune" to destroy it,...
      or just pick any object from your inventory (like a "coin") and
      throw it at the trap. The trap will be disarmed, and you can pick
      up your object (with no damage done). Warning: do not throw any
      weapons/armor that are already in a "badly damaged" state.

Moonstones: There are two of these: One on B3 in a chest guarded by a
      "haunt" (red ghost) behind a locked door, the other just lying
      in a hallway in the Scintillus Academy (SA5). To use them, you
      cast "Gate Travel" on one, and it teleports you to the other. A
      good example of their usefullness is if you ever want to return
      to SA8 (Scintillus Academy). Drop one stone there, and the other
      in your bedroom back at the castle.

Way to get Armoury key: Walk up to the Reaper (to get its interest)
      and then lure it back to the entryway (where you came in). Now
      turn off your light source, and swim around the Reaper to get
      back to the pit it was guarding. The key is in a pile of debris
      in the pit (really! it's there! keep looking!). If you're quick,
      you can get in and out without a fight. Also, there is a nice
      sword behind a large plant (you have to try to "pick up" the
      plant, and suddenly the sword falls out where you can see it).

Way to get past locked things in Brittania: Since you cannot cast an
      "Open" spell while in Brittania, you take advantage of the way
      that targeted spells operate. Go to any alternate world and
      cast your "Open" spell. The cursor will change to indicate that
      the spell has been cast, and will then wait for you to target
      the spell. At this time, run back to Brittania, and find the
      locked object you wish to open,... then release the spell.

Blackrock Gem (B5): You will notice that one of the 8 facets is a bit
      brighter than the rest. This is the one that you can walk into
      to teleport to alternate worlds. The active facet is constantly
      changing (you can see this if you watch the gem later in the
      game.)
          Initially, only one facet will be lit (Prison Tower). After
      completing this world, you will find that 2 more facets are now
      available (Killorn Keep and Ice Caverns).
          The next three facets (Talorus, Scintillus Academy, and Pits
      of Carnage) will open up after the murder of Lady Tory. This
      event is triggered when:
              A) You possess the small blackrock gem from Ice Caverns.
              B) You have killed "The Listener".
          The last two facets (Tomb of Praecor Loth and the Ethereal
      Void) become available after the murder of Nelson. This event is
      triggered by A) "Using" 4 small Blackrock Gems on the larger one.
                   B) Talking to Zoranthus (PC2)
          The final trigger-point is the appearance of Mors Gotha in
      Killorn Keep. This event is triggered by:
              A) "Using" all 8 small gems on the larger (it will start
                 flashing when this is done.
              B) Destroying the Guardians place of power in each of the
                 8 worlds.
              C) Trapping an air-Djinn inside your body.
              D) Posessing the Horn of Praecor Loth.
      You can tell when you have passed this point by the disappearance
      of Altara (she splits, but leaves you a note in her room).

          Don't forget to "use" the small blackrock gems you find
          (after treatment by Nystul) on the large gem. This will lock
          these facets open,... so you don't have to wait around.

Quick experience: In the Scintillus Academy (SA1), there are those
      Portcullises that you opened by placing the Gold Coffer on the
      correct Pressure Plate. Open the center Portcullis. Inside you
      will find an endless supply of "hostile mongbat"s to kill. They
      just keep coming! (and they are pretty easy to deal with by this
      time). You can keep this up until the game starts to slow down,
      from rendering all those countless bloodstains on the floor that
      you are generating (I noticed this after about 500 kills).
          Also, on SA5, there is a pull-chain near a portcullis which
      produces skeletons each time that you pull it.
          Also, on SA8, a new monster will appear in the center of the
      puzzle each time you screw up (the 3:5:2:9 puzzle).


LOCKED DOORS: Unless a door or chest is "massive", it can be bashed
      in. It is best to remove your weapon (to avoid damage to it),
      and use your bare hand (which seems impossible to damage). This
      also works for locked "secret door"s. NOTE: "locked secret doors"
      are always accompanied by a hidden switch nearby. Search the walls
      carefully to reveal it.

      Basilisk Oil in Scintillus Academy (Colorless potion bottle for
      the Lore-impaired). Found in pack (SA?) and chest (SAV). Also
      in Zaria's chest on PC1.

Don't forget to check out any sewer pipes that you find, and waterfalls.

"Grey Stone" (PT1), (T1) Futurians back room, (LT1) near gem.
"Amethyst rod" in Talorus (T1), room with many crystals. Don't forget
      to score the "Nutritious Wafers" here. Lightweight, and filling.
      Note: another "amethyst rod" can be obtained in the Ethereal Void.
"Spider Eggshell" in B4, and LT1
"Horn" (LT4) Loth's gravesite
"Banner" (LT4) Loth's gravesite

      You cannot auto-map alternate dimensions like KKA, SAV, and the
Etherial Void. Sorry.

STEALING: If you find something "belonging to a XXXX", tread with
      caution. If the XXXX is upset, taking its belongings will almost
      certainly turn it to the "hostile" state,... IF it sees you do
      it (and that's the trick). If something is "peaceful", you may
      get away with taking things from under their nose, but I would
      recommend saving your game first!

CRASHING the KEEP: If you kill the Brain Creatures in the room on
    KK2, the Keep will fall from the sky and crash. You will find
    that much has changed upon your next visit. Since this results
    in the death of Altara (very bad), I would not recommend it.
    But, when Mors Gotha arrives, Altara leaves the Keep of her own
    accord. At this point, feel free to experiment.

      "Reveal" or "Portal" spell.

KK2 - when you come down the stairs to get to the Brain creature room,
      walk straight until you are facing the wall (just a few steps
      forward after you arrive on level 2). Turn 45 degrees to the left

BUGS:
--------------------------------------------

1) Jerky motion (display pauses). Solutions:
         A) Turn of the sound.
         B) Quit the game, and restore where you left off.
         C) Wield your weapon briefly (un-verified rumor).

2) Servants on strike. You're out of luck. Start over :-(
   NOTE: when the servants (Nanna) first start complaining, you must
   agree with everything they say, and then take their concerns to
   Lord British. If you do not take care of this quickly, the servants
   go on strike permanently,... and you are screwed.

3) Game locks up when talking to Wisp in EVB. Make sure that you
   have talked to Blackie (Trilkhun in KK1) before engaging Wisp.

4) Can't add more notes to map. Solution: Delete some existing notes.
   There is only so much memory allocated for notes (un-verified rumor).


UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:
--------------------

1) SA6 - The vending machine has a Pressure Plate here, what does it
         do? (none of the other vending machines have such a plate).

2) Is there any way to up your Search skill after Nelson is murdered?

3) Why does the pile of bones near Krilner (PC1) keep getting smaller?

4) When will the Dialogicians (T1) tell me how to talk to the Eleo-
   mosynator. There is a pattern crystal in the Futurian's back room
   with the Eleomosynator's name on it (well, on a scroll next to it).

5) In the Scintillus Academy, level 5; There is a pushbutton high
   on the wall by the Portcullis. What does it do?
