Various Info
1. Getting Started
Q. What do I do first?A. How about opening the chest next to you? I assume you'vealreadygone through the introduction before you started playing. If not,hit Q to quit then start up the game again, and choose theintroduc-tion from the menu. Note that you can't choose "Quest Onward" unless youhave saved yourgame. To start from scratch, choose start a new game. Later, youcanchoose quest onwards and it'll automatically load your saved gameforyou. TIP: To save more than one game, or to keep a game that youwant tobe able to come back to without having it be overwritten by latersaves, go to DOS and make another subdirectory like ULDSAVE, thencopy *.SAV and *.USE from your Underland directory to the savedirectory. Then to restore that game, copy them back andoverwritethe ones in your Underland directory. Q. How do I open the chest?A. USE it. Stand beside it (or over or under it), and hit U (besure your Caps Lock is on), then hit an arrow key on your numerickeypad- the one that looks like an adding machine's keypad. Q. Now what?A. LOOK at what's in the chest. Hit L then move the cursor, usingthekeypad's arrow keys, until the cursor is on top of the chest.Thenhit L again. Next, GET the item. I think it's a note of some kind. Hit Gthenuse the keypad arrow that points at the chest. The item shouldnowbe in your pack. To read it, hit I to look at your inventory.There'sa cursor that looks kind of like a pen or pencil. Use the keypadarrows to move it so it points to the note, then hit U. You havetoUSE notes, scrolls and books to read them. Hitting L to look atthem'will just tell you what it is ("A book", "You seea scroll", etc.) Q. What do I do now?A. Head north and start exploring the dungeon. Don't worry, therearen'tany monsters on this level. Non-player characters (NPCs) movearoundin this game, so you'll sometimes have to chase 'em to talk to'em.You have to be standing right next to someone to talk to him orher.Hit T to talk. First ask their names (type NAME and hit enter)thentheir jobs (JOB, enter). Any words after that that appear inyellowcan be typed in to get more informationand continue theconversations.It's just like in Ultizurk 1. TIP: This game comes with a README.TXT file that can be readat any timefrom within the game just by hitting H (for help). It explains alotof the commands, how to USE certain items- weapons and tools-fromyour weapons hand, how to wear armor and sheilds, etc. Look in all the chests you find and help yourself to anythingyoumight need. Talk to everyone- THIS IS IMPORTANT- and write downwhat they say on a piece of paper. You'll go through lots ofsheetsof scratch paper in this game! Remember what the intro said about everyone getting restlessandsuspicious? They're all forming guilds and secret societies anduse a series of passwords between each other. The people on level1 will give you passwords to say to people on the other levels.Some of them will give you more passwords to say to other peopleand so on. Eventually you'll get to talk to people who will giveyousome valuable tips and hints. Be sure to follow all these leadsandtalk to EVERYONE at least once. Oh, and be sure to visit the Lycaeum (great library) on thegroundlevel. Q. What's the point of this game?A. To figure out why everyone is using passwords and stuff, andtry todo something about it. The King will give you some more info onthis,as will the introduction (if you STILL haven't viewed it!). Q. What do Yell and Blink mean?A. Yell lets you use certain magic spells that are activated byshoutingcertain magic words. They use up some of your mana. Blink letsyouautomatically teleport between the known dungeon levels. That's aspell you yourself have gained, being Guildmaster of the Wizard'sGuild and all. 2. Where is...? (Places and people) Q. The King?A. He's in his throne room in a building on Level 1. Use youroverheadmap (during the daytime so you will see better) to show you allthebuildings and pathways that lead to them. The red dots indicatewhere people are. Look for people inside the buildings and talkto them.It's kind of south in level 1. Q. The siren queen, Losi, Harry, Tom, Ol' Killer, etc,?A. Hard to say, since everyone moves around so much. All thesirens areon level 6, and everyone else is somewhere on the level that oneofthe NPCs told you they'd be on. Just keep talking to people andaskingtheir names until you find the one(s) you want. (Ol' Killer's on8.) Q. Leomund the Wizard?A. On level 2, working in his laboratory (NE area) Q. The treasurer?A. Level 2, kind of S by SW of Leomund. Q. Gold, food, weapons, armor, sextant, etc.?A.

There's someinfoon this in the Lycaeum. Q. The Lycaeum?A. On level 8. By the way, levels 7 and 8 are really the samelevel, onthe floor of the extinct volcano. I guess the other levels havebeentunneled into the inside sides of the volcano's lava cone. Q. The ground level?A. Levels 7 and 8. As stated above, they're really the samelevel. 7is in the eastern ground area, and 8's to the west. They'reconnectedby a long bridge over a river or lake or something. You can alsoBLINK between them. Q. The polar icecaps?A. The polar waste regions can be reached via a ladder that's onlevel4. Q. The Rainbow Pool?A. It's way back of beyond, behind the iron doors on level 9.

Note that levels increasefairly slowlyin this game. You need about twice the experience points perlevelincrease as you did in Ultizurk 1 or 2. Q. Heal and restore my hit points?A.

Q. Open magically locked chests?A. You need a magic wand. It's in a chest somewhere. Q. How do I use it?A. From within your inventory when standing next to a magicallylockedchest. It won't work if you put it in your weapons hand and trytouse it from there. 4. Where is...? (Quests) Q. Nightshade mushrooms, gossamer silk, spirit jelly?A. The gypsy woman on level 1 has lots of info about whereto find these (you have to look at night) and what they're goodfor, besides Leomund's quests. Also look in the cabinets in Leomund's lab and house. Q. Light blue and yellow berries?A. They grow all over on level 8. Q. Another pocket watch, elven sword, sextant?A. In chests in various places. Remember the note youfound when you first started the game? LOOK at carpetsin front of important people. Also there's a chest towardsthe SW of level 3. Q. Skeleton of a fallen hero? I can't dig up any of the tombs!A. These heros are the ones talked about in the Lycaeum, thatwerecrushed by a cyclops. Look there. Q. This or that potion?A. There are ten potions. If you talk to everyone, you willeventuallyhave a list of ten clues to things that are buried in dungeonswheremonsters live. Q. I dug where I was told, but didn't find anything! Are theNPCs lying?A. No. You have to LOOK at a hole after you've dug it. If there'ssomethingthere, it'll tell you. Then you need to GET it. Make sure there'senough room in your pack. Q. The diamond?A. In a chest in a building in the ice country. 5. How do I...? (Part 2) Q. I have all ten potions. How do I use them?A. The book in the Lycaeum says to mix them in an empty bottle. Q. How?A. Open your inventory then USE the empty bottle. You have tohave all10 potions in your pack. You can mix the potions before youactuallyneed to use them, to get some free space in your pack. Q. Cross the ice?A. Put the grappler in your weapons hand then close yourinventory. HitU to use the grappler, then hit an arrow key in the direction youwant to go. Keep doing that until USE fails, then you should beableto walk normally again. Q. Open the iron doors?A. Use the key from within your inventory. Q. I can't! It says I need to have the greatest offence anddefence to enter!A. You need to complete the soulsbane quests first. Q. I have the diamond. Now what?A. Talk to all the armorers- say "THE DIAMOND SWORD"-until youfind one that can compress the diamond for you. He'll tell youto take it to another armorer to cut it into a swordblank.Say "CUT" to the other armorers until you find one thatknowswhat you're talking about. Q. Where's the well near great magic?A. Think! Who's the greatest magician and wizard in the realm-besidesyou, I mean? Look around his house for a well. Stand next to it,openyour inventory and USE the swordblank. Q. I'm inside the iron doors. How do I go further?A. There's a series of switches that can be walked on, stood nexttoand USEd to switch them up or down. Try every combo, and writedownthe ones you've tried, until one works. Q. Works how?A. The first series lets you open another iron door when the fourswitches are in the right sequence. Q. I got it but I'm in a dead end!A. Head north. There are hidden teleporters that will whisk youawayto another place in the same dungeon. Q. I can't get past that kind-of E-shaped area in the RainbowLord'sdungeon, with the five switches and the plaque on the wall thatsaysto use one at a time.A. I labeled the various rooms like so, according to the order inwhickI was teleported through them:(NE corner) #8 (large, spread out one in NE area) #7 (5-tined E- (largish diamond-below #8) shaped one#5 between 8and 7 and belowthe NE extension of 7)#6 (tiny diamond-shaped one)#4 (The one where (small square) (SW corner, under #7you start from) #2 and to the right of the#1 SW extension of #7)#3 The descriptions are approximately in the areas on theoverheadmap where the corresponding dungeon room or area actually is,relative to each other. Switches in area 1 lead you through, in order, until you getto5. Most switches swing you around through the first 5 areasagain,starting at different areas (when you go north in 5) but endingup back at 5 again. One switch sends you to 6 then 7, then backto5... if you haven't found all 5 orbs yet. Then, that switch comboin5 takes you to 6, then... to 8, where the rainbow pool is! Q. I'm in 8. How do I get all the iron doors to open?A. One particular sequence of up/down switches opens them all.Keeptrying, and write them down as you do so you don't end up tryingthe same combos over and over. Q. I'm at the Rainbow Pool. How do I stop its power?A. First you need to diarm it's protective field by placing the 5orbsaround it in the holders. Then open your inventory and USE theemptybottle to mix the 10 colored potions into one rainbow potion (ifyouhaven't already done so earlier). Then USE the rainbow potionfromyour inventory screen, when standing just below the rainbow pool.Don't be too dissapointed at the ending, when you find outthatall the legends about the Rainbow Lord were incorrect. You doactually accomplish your goal, by dispelling the fear andmistrustof the people and restoring peace and harmony to the realm.
