Ultima VIII: Pagan: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:03, 7 September 2025

You can grind stats: to train strength/dexterity, just attack empty air; to train intelligence, take the shortest book ("Rhian"?) and read it over and over.

Basic keyboard controls (running, combat mode) are mandatory; don't play this game mouse-only.

The keyring is one of the most useful items in the game; IIRC, it's in one of the Tenebrae guardhouses.

Grab Devon's bedroll at the beginning.

Remember to activate the teleport pad. Once you get the option to teleport around, you'll probably want to return that way instead opf taking the long route.

Like in U7, pixel hunting/moving random items is a good way to find secret/hidden items/keys/levers.

Inventory management is key; store different common types of items in separate sacks.

I assume you have the manual with reagents/recipes for particular spells? (if not, download one) Print it out.

Remember your freedom of movement; sometimes you can get into a house through a roof/terrace when main doors are locked.
