Instead, '''[U]'''nlock the harbor door, slain Red the pirate, then get onboard a ship. The cannons are stronger than any other weapon, and they can defeat the guards easily. Furthermore, using the ship you can get to the islet for some (rather useless) equipment, then you can do two things: (1) exit the harbor by ship and explore the Earth; (2) get onboard a rocket and explore the solar system. You can actually do both, in this order. | |||

All the clues so far[edit]
The following table summarizes all the clues collected so far.
Pirates Harbor[edit]
Pirates harbor is the only settlement on Earth in 2112 A.D. In order to get to the space rockets you can use some strategy. If you slain the village idiot and then run for a rocket, a dozen guards will get on you before you can flee.
Instead, [U]nlock the harbor door, slain Red the pirate, then get onboard a ship. The cannons are stronger than any other weapon, and they can defeat the guards easily. Furthermore, using the ship you can get to the islet for some (rather useless) equipment, then you can do two things: (1) exit the harbor by ship and explore the Earth; (2) get onboard a rocket and explore the solar system. You can actually do both, in this order.
The "amusing" guard is in the south-west corner of the Red Square.
- NOTE: Despite what the manual says, a galaxy is very different from a solar system. A galaxy is made of millions of stars, possibly millions of planetary sytems, and hundreds of nebulae.
Character | Location | Line |
---|---|---|
Waren Beatty | Center, near Red Square | Flavor text: "Have you seen Diane Keaton?" (Reference to the movie "Reds", set in Russia) |
Chuckles the Bumble | North-west, in front of airport door | Flavor text: "Can I look yet, is it over?" |
The village idiot | North-west, in front of spaceport door | Hint: "Offer the hotel clerk gold!" |
Red the pirate | North-west, behind locked harbor door | Flavor text: "I've a broken Ultima III, want one?" |
Planet X[edit]
Try and land between the castle and the town.
The map is centered on the ocean, because the best way to explore the planet is by sea. In fact, if you travel by ship you consume no food.
Towne Basko[edit]
In Towne Basko you can get confirmation that Father Antos is near. Furthermore, you can use two keys, get a frigate, and explore all of the planet.
There are several "amusing" guards in town: two at the south gate and one at the west gate. Furthermore, there is a hostile thief that will attack you coming from the north-west corner.
Castle Barataria[edit]
Enter the castle and go straight north to the throne room. Talk to King Ozymandias to improve your health points, then talk to Queen Susan. Use a key to open any one door behind the throne. Go west/left to Queen Susan's room, use a second key and cross the jail; cross a swampy room, then continue south to the chapel. In the chapel you can finally meet Father Antos.
The "amusing" guard is straight west from the throne, near the jail.
Optional[edit]
The Xeno-Yako-Zabo (xn,yk,zb) coordinates are an alien reference system centered outside the solar system with the three axis that cross it diagonally. The following table shows "real" coordinates, obtained with geometric calculations.

- NOTE: because of a bug in the C64 port, in the five optional towns, the lower four tile rows are missing, and replaced by the next four rows.
Sun, Venus, Saturn[edit]
The manual already states that there is no life on these three planets. Furthermore, if you fly into the sun, you will die instantly.
Venus is mostly covered in swamps, and it features two separate seas. Saturn consists of a large, grassy continent.
Mercury[edit]
This planet is covered by a large ocean. There are just two grassy areas where the space rocket can land. There is a dungeon on this planet.
Mars, Uranus, Neptune[edit]
Each of these three planets features just one town or village, but all the characters only give flavor text.
- Mars: Towne Mary
- Uranus: village of New Jester
- Neptune: village of Computer Camp
Mars is a rocky planet, made of mountains and narrow channels. Try and land near the only noteworthy feature: Towne Mary. | ||
Uranus is a green planet, full of forests and swamps. There is a time signpost and a village, called New Jester. The 20 walking jesters in town (not the motionless ones) will try and surround the Stranger, therefore make sure she has some strange coins in order to block them and get away. Guards are replaced by jesters here. If the Stranger attacks one, all of them will attack back.
Because of a bug, the Swamp Jester in the south-west corner is missing from the C64 port. |
||
Neptune is a huge grassland. Try and land near the only noteworthy feature: the village called Computer Camp. Guards are replaced by fighters here. |
Jupiter[edit]
Jupiter is the richest planet in the solar system. It features all types of terrain, but this actually creates some difficulty when landing. The planet is divided in two continents: the largest one hosts a village and a dungeon, the smaller one hosts the last of Minax's towers.
In Jupiter the Stranger can meet Dupre for the first time in the Ultima series.
Pluto[edit]
- Towne Makler
- Village of Tommersville
- Dungeon
Some information can be obtained in Towne Makler, but it is anyway already learned from other sources.
In the C64 port of the game, the village of Tommersville is not featured. The reason is that the village references heavily the magazine Softalk, that is about the Apple II.
Time travel[edit]
Back in 1990 A.D.[edit]
At least two characters said that after finding Father Antos, you can get a ring. The Oracle gave you further information about such ring.
After obtaining the blessing of Father Antos, it's time to claim the ring. Get back on the airplane and drive into the Time Gate in North-West America. You will emerge in 1990 A.D., in South America. Fly to New San Antonio. The "old man under a tree" is in the north portion of town. Offer him 500 Gold coins and he will give you the Magic Ring.
To the Time of Legends[edit]
You now have the final item, and you can challenge Minax. The Time Gate in 1990 A.D. in Australia leads straight to the Time of Legends.
