Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire/Yolaru tribe

The Kurak village
The Avatar starts the game in the Kurak village, inside Intanya's hut.

Talk to all the characters. In order to ask something, it is sufficient to type the first four letters of the keyword.

The Avatar can take any item he finds in any village. Unlike Ultima 4/5/6, there is no penalty for taking items that don't belong to you. Suggestions:
 * Equipment: bow and arrows are the best weapon early in the game; shields and spears are less useful; necklaces can be worn.
 * Food: no need to pick up any food, because Triolo carries more than enough already.
 * Useful items: some will be useful soon, other will be useful later; there are some heavy items that should not be picked up, but just used on the place.
 * Other: items with no apparent use.

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.

Make sure you collect all the arrows and all the useful items for the laboratory.

Dr. Rafkin's laboratory


Go back to the Yolaru 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.

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.

DO NOT talk to the generic Nahuatla men: they will attack you. Be careful when you talk to the "glowing" Spector/Zipactriotl or Huitlapacti, or with Kipotli: ask a wrong question, and they will call the guards to attack you.

Note that "Zipactriotl" is just an alternate spelling of "Spector", with modified phonetics, as shown below: S--PEC-T---OR Z--PEC-TI--OL ZI-PAC-TRI-OTL

You can talk to all these people:

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.

Here is the list of all the items that can be found in Tichticatl:
