Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle/Monk Isle

Enter Monk Isle
Enter Monk Isle over the Dark Path. Ignore the North Path for now and go South and then up the Stairs. You should read the Book on the Altar to learn more of the Prophecies. There are more Books in the Library as well. Some are in ancient Language, but you can read using the Lens of Translating.

Karnax and Thoxa from the begin the Game is also there. Thoxa will tell you that Gwenno has gone North in the colder Lands. If you died once, then you have already spoken with Karnax and he will give you no new Information. "Corn" will tell you about the Mandrake Root, your main Reason why you're here, where and when you can grab some. There is 20 dried Mandrake Roots in his Hut Southeast of the Chapel at (11S, 153E).

Ask Draxta for a Vision and go to Place of Visions at (7N, 139E). The Vision show how Petra from Moonshade walk untouched on Acid. That is a Clue for later. There are 3 more nameless Monks who wont talk (Eithr he is dead, cant talk or is vowed to Silence...).

If the Time for Roots-Hunt isnt right then you should go to Ruins in the Swamp via (18N, 147E). Check the Hollow Tree for a Key to the Basement below the Ruins. Open the Door there and go in the Building in the Middle of the Lake below. There are some Treasure to pick like Lighting Wand, Magic Axe, 13 Magic Bolts and a Blue Key. Go back up and open the East Gat with the Blue Key. Go up twice and you're back in the Swamp. Check the dark Corpse under the Dead Tree. It's 2 Potions and a Red Key. Go back down twice and open the South Gate with the Red Key and you're at the Serpent Gate.

Go back up on Monk Isle and ask Corn if the Time is right. If he say yes, then go to Swamp and walk around the entire Swamp to collect at last 3 Mandrake Roots.
