Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny/Britannia mainland: Difference between revisions

Travel to the north-west until you get to a river, then continue to the north. Soon you wil get to Empath Abbey.

You can sleep in the southernmost bed at the healer's, but this way you will not restore health points.

The next morning, recruit '''Julia and Toshi''', then leave the castle.  

In every town, including Yew, there are guards at the gate and guards patroling the town square. The gate guards are usually mute, but beware of the '''patrol guards''': if you talk to them they will ask to pay a heavy tax. If you refuse, you will end up in a cell in Yew. All your keys have been confiscated. Talk to '''Jerone''', your cell mate, and he will tell you about his brother '''Jeremy''', who comes at 10 AM and 10 PM. You can buy 5 keys for 50 GP from him. While you are waiting, check carefully the walls of the cell: there are three secret doors. When you buy the keys from Jeremy, why should you leave from the main door? Leave from the back door, and explore the underground passages of Yew!

In the underground passages you can recruit '''Jaana'''. Ignite a torch pressing "I". Explore the underground passages and meet Jaana and Landon. * Also note that in the upper-right dead end there is another secret passage; it leads to a room with rats and a barrel; search the barrel for a silver sword. You can then exit climbing a ladder in the south-west and walking through a fireplace.

There are more people in town, but they are not imprtant yet. You can now leave Yew.

Items to collect:

* Search the bookshelf in Chamfort's rooms for a In Quas Wis scroll (map/gem).

* Search the barrel in Judge Dryden backroom and get a club.

Talk to '''Terrance''' in the orchard. If you say you have little food, he will give you some. Furthermore, he will mention the Resistance, and relay you back to Yew. Let's visit it later.

'''Greyson''' explains you how to meditate at the Shrines of Virtue, and he will also teach you the Mantra of Compassion. Similarly, '''Annon''' explains who are the Council Members and what are the Words of Power for. He known the word for dungeon Despise, and gives you a hint about finding the word for dungeon Wrong (in Minoc, later).

'''Gwenno''' can join you, if you have less than six companions in your party. In fact, you met all the Bard-Companions in the game already. You can leave some of them at the inn, but take their equipment first! Who shall we leave at the inn? Julia has highest overall power, but she also has the lowest dexterity: this is very bad for a class focused on dexterity. Gwenno, on the other hand, is the bard with top dexterity but lowest strength: she is unbalanced, too. Iolo and Toshi are left, and Iolo is superior to Toshi in all attributes. Summarizing: keep Iolo and leave Julia, Toshi and Gwenno at the inn.

If you want to buy food, '''Tika''' sells the cheapest rations in Britannia mainland. At the armory, buy slings from '''Gwenneth''' for all your party members.  

 

Talk to '''Kurt''' in North Britanny and start the trail about the magic carpet. No need to buy any horse, as you will learn later, in Minoc. He is the only significant character, for the time being.

 

 

Surprisingly, most people in the Castle of Lord British give no information of any usefulness. '''Alistair, Stephen, Margaret''' and '''Chuckles''' give no relevant information at all ("cantabrigian" means "from/about Cambridge"). The prisoner '''Drudgeworth''' will even attack you if he is freed!

'''Desiree''' sets you on a trail for an extra spell, called "create food".

Still, there is one trail started elsewhere: Kurt from North Britanny told you to speak to '''Treanna''' about Valorian horses. The stable girl will relay you to Bandaii in Paws.

Treanna from Castle Britannia told you about '''Bandaii''', who is looking for a talking horse, bue she forgot the horse's name. Now, Bandaii will tell you that name, and when you will meet Treanna again, you can tell her and continue along this tread.

* Search the barrels in the guild and get five keys.

The sing reads: ''"Greyhaven, a light of virtue"''

Here you can meet '''Sir Kenneth''': Tim from Emapth Abbey told you about him traveling to Trinsic and the south. Sir Kenneth teaches you a harpsicord piece (a harpsicord is a old piano). Now you should find an instrument worth of a king... or the King's harpsicord.

Annon from Britain told you that a sailmaker kid is the daughter of another council member. This is '''Rew''', a really wonderful child: not only she will direct you to her mother, but also she teaches you the Mantra of Sacrifice and furthermore she reveals that some wishing wells give horses. It is actally true: look in some wells, drop a coin, wish for a horse, and you will get it. Some wishing wells are located in Empath Abbey and Paws.
