Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire/Yolaru tribe

The Yolaru village


Leave the Kurak village to the south-east and follow the road eastwards. Eventually, you will rach the Yolaru village, that is on the two sides of a river ford.

Rafkin can be met in a hut south-east of the central campfire.

When asked to unite the tribes, Apaton, the Yolaru chieftain, asks ten Nahuatla swords. The Nahuatla city is to the south of the Yolaru village. Your companion Rafkin, instead, asks to find the laboratory, that is near to the Kurak village. Although it'd seem more sensible to go back first and south later, it is actually more convenient to visit the Nahuatla city (and complete Apaton's trial in the meanwhile) before you go to the laboratory.

Item list (Yolaru)

 * Equipment: collect all the arrows and the necklaces.
 * Food: ignore it; get a fishing pole, instead, and the green fruit, if you want.
 * Useful items: collect the magic reagents and the items in Rafkin's hut (scissors, cloth, metal hammer).

Apaton's trial


Apaton asked you to collect 10 obsidian swords. These weapons can be found in the Nahuatla city. You can obtain them in three ways: (1) collect the 14 obsidian swords found in the city; (2) buy some from the weaponmaker using emeralds as currency; (3) attack and defeat some Nahuatla guards.

Tichticatl, the Nahuatla city
From the east bank of the Yolaru village, follow the road south. At the first fork, if you go west you will reach Drum Hill: there is nothing to there right now. Back to the main road, continue south until you reach the Nahuatla city, Tichticatl.

The Nahuatla currency is the emerald. You should have 18 emeralds already, found in the previous locations. Paxaptamac the weaver will buy 10 feathers for 1 emerald. You can use emeralds to buy equipment from Atlipacta the weaponmaker. Apart from the rare leather armors, the rest of the items can be easily obtained for free.

Item list (Nahuatla)
Here is the list of all the items that can be found in Tichticatl.

The ten obsidian swords are a sufficient weight for the time being. Also, collect right now the clay, the soft clay pot and three fired clay pots: they are required to make grenades.

When you come back later, collect all the leather and cloth armors, as well as any immediately useful item. A stock of spears for an atl-atl is still too heavy for your current party members.

Dr. Rafkin's laboratory


Go back to the Kurak village. From the beginning of the road, just walk south-east along the riverside. Cross the ford and walk south near tar pits and across a thick forest. When the forest opens up, walk south-east.

See the magic and crafting page for details about item crafting. Rigth now you should have enough materials to make six grenades and a bamboo musket.
