Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar/Walkthrough

Unlike most RPGs, the purpose is not to level up to defeat a powerful opponent. Instead, Ultima IV instead requires the player to follow the eight Virtues of Goodness.


 * 1) Honesty is performed by being honest; by providing correct answers to questions, and by not attempting to cheat shopkeepers.
 * 2) Compassion involves donating gold to beggars.
 * 3) Valor requires you to stand your ground whenever possible, and not to flee from combat.
 * 4) Justice requires you to perform just acts, and not kill non-evil creatures.
 * 5) Sacrifice involves self-sacrifice, such as donating blood or protecting other party members with your life.
 * 6) Honor requires you to honor agreements.
 * 7) Spirituality requires you to complete spiritual tasks, such as meditating at shrines.
 * 8) Humility requires you to avoid pride, and answer questions humbly.

It is easy to lose progress on any of the virtues. However, gaining progress is much more difficult since you have to wait between attempts to get the full effect.

Once you have mastered the virtues, you will need to conquer the Great Stygian Abyss and view the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom.
