[[File:Ultima4_DungeonHythloth.png|right|288px|thumb|Map of Dungeon Hythloth]]
* '''Goals:''' get the lighter-than-air device and the White stone.
Before entering the Dungeon Hythloth, make sure you have plenty of the following spells:
* '''Light''' (cheaper than torches)
* '''Cure''' (for the chests with poison traps)
* '''Dispell''' (to get past various energy fields)
* '''Resurrect''' (to recover companions that touch the four Magic Orbs)
* '''Wind''' (to drive the Lighter-Than-Air device)
Check the [[../Magic|Magic]] page for details on the reagents and the [[../Britannia Yellow Pages directory]] for the most convenient apothecaries.
Also purchase ten/twenty magic gems (you can use the "View" spell, but it's better to save nightshade and mandrake for other spells).
Access the Dungeon from Castle Britannia. You will be unable to exit from there, and a vertical shaft will lead you down to the 8th level
: '''Level 8'''
Right now, having no Stones yet, it would be useless to visit the Altar Rooms. Explore the other rooms, instead, to earn gold and experience, then head to the stairs that connect to the larger section of Floor 7.
: '''Level 7'''
Again, visit the rooms to earn gold and experience, then climb the stairs up.
: '''Level 6'''
A long and winding passage, with a few mandatory rooms in the middle. Actually, in some versions there is a bug that can be fixed with [http://www.ultimaaiera.com/ultima4/ultima-4-hythloth-fix/ this patch].
: '''Level 5'''
This level is further subdivided in two parts. Climb the second upwards stairs for a short passage that leads back on floor 5, but the section where two Magic Orbs can be found. Be careful: these orbs raise all three attributes, but they deal 700 HP of damage. Unless many companions are at level 8, you have to use some "Resurrection" spells.
: '''Level 4'''
This floor loops on itself, but there is just one ladder that leads upwards.
: '''Level 3'''
On this floor, you can find the third Magic Orb and a bit further on a Healing Fountain. Finally, both upwards ladders lead to the same area.
: '''Level 2'''
Nothing special to be done here: fight your way through the only room and climb the stairs.
: '''Level 1'''
Here you can find the fourth Magic Orb. Also, through a secret passage you cn find the altar of the White Stone, that is unfortunately empty. Anyway, you are near the exit of the dungeon.
=== The lighter-than-air device ===
Near the exit of Dungeon Hythloth lies the lighter-than-air device. get on it, and it will move according to the direction of the wind. It is therefore necessary to cast "Wind Change" spells to go in the direction you want. Actually, the exit of Dungeon Hythloth is quite faraway from the mainland in any direction, therefore you should just keep flying in the same direction.
=== The White Stone ===
Once you manage to get near the Serpent's Spine mountains (between Britain and Yew), locate the position of the White Stone shrine, align the balloon with it, then land on the hills near the mountains. Why? Because the wind is quite tricky; you should make sure you're aligned with the Stone, then cast the "Wind" spell in the required direction, then jump onto the balloon. When you're above the shrine, just Search it to grab the White Stone.
You saw how hard it is to fly with the balloon. Better leave it and rely on your feet from now on.

Oversea dungeons:
