I used to love placing bombs in the palace when Mordea, Salkind and Aramina are having their meeting, lighting one and boltong for the exit. The lighting bolt would come down and if you run fast enough it'll miss. Then the game crashes with code errors hahaha. Sometimes if you dont get killed Beren, the guardsmen and Mordea have a fight.
accelerate to: ultima 8 - ludicrious speed. started u8 as a nine year old in 1994. I restarted the game a few years later and several times again. at some point i thought ive seen everything in this game and pinned it to my "100% game list". now i know: i did not 100%. Hell, iam even whispering the Tenebrae Song when iam doing my daughters diaper sometimes.
I discovered something new about the Pyros ritual during filming actually. I didn't bring the candle or ignition spell, but it turns out if you get distracted and don't respond to the Master's command so he shouts "I said, KNEEL!" then the ritual will go so badly wrong that Pyros kills everyone including the avatar.
They say "Stratos, Pyros and Hydros". When I was assembling the footage I did wonder about them only listing three of the Titans, but in fact you can only visit KG's tomb after having met Lithos and being given the Key of the Scion to unlock the door. I don't think there's enough mud in that part of the catacombs to break and enter via a golem.
@@tapewolf I've lead a golem close enough to crack open the door to Lithos. Apparently he doesn't mind if you visit him without attaining the key of scion. Unless there's a certain flag for visiting the past necromancers...

Yeah, I think I managed to get away once, while doing that!
There is a bag if gems next to a dead body on the grass over the water west of the palace. Rhian will give you ~200 obsidian for them
I read through all of these when they were first put up. Cheers
I entered the widow's place while it was opened, and then slept until she's gone. This way I could steal obisidian early in the game.
they ought to post a "no outside beverages" sign outside that tomb. how rude.
Wish my birthplace was more interesting. Great vids, thanks for these!

@@tapewolf well thats something i knew. Ultima8 is much more than people can imagine
Yes that!
Did the three heroes completely forget about Stratos...?

@@tapewolf I even had a bug where the necromancer sacrifice was performed as if you were there but not witnessing the carnage.
What happens when the Pyros summoning ceremony happens after you kill Beren?
Very little, unfortunately. It makes another one for the purpose of the summoning ritual.
