I beat Ultima II about 7 months ago and only recently indulged in
Ultima III. After several all night sessions I have worked out
most of my probelms, save for the following:
1) How to you get more magic points??? We have > 10th level
magic users of various sorts and they are all stuck at
their starting level of magic points. Very discouraging.
2) How do you get past the snake? You're supposed to invoke
it somehow, but all my attempts have failed.
3) How do you get past walls of fire? I have the Mark Of Fire
which I assumed would do the trick, but no, I still get
fried and tossed back out.

"The difficult we did yesterday, the impossible we are doing now."pop@bunker.UUCP (Paul Pederson) (02/28/85)
I've been playing Ultima III on my Apple II- off and on for about 8 months now. The characters in the group are around 20th level and all have the mark of fire and will soon have the mark of power. Does anyone know where to find the Mark of the King? Supposedly, once a character has the mark of the king, his hit points can be raised beyond 550. It would be nice for my characters to have more than 550 hit points each. Where is Exodus? I've heard that Exodus is actually a computer with slots which you put 'cards' into, but where are the cards and what are the consequences of putting the cards into Exodus? I've found the temples in the underworld where characters can raise characteristic points (intelligence, strength, etc), but is there anything ele down there worth looking for? What are some of the 'other' commands? I've discovered only one useful 'other' command thus far -- bribe -- which is useful getting around guards at a gate or stopping one from attacking you. I've heard there is a treasure room in Lord British's castle. Is it worth going into? I haven't found it yet because I think it is protected by the power field next to the healer's room. Is there some other, easier way to get rich quick than to invade the treasure room in Death Gulch? Answers to these questions and other helpful information will be greatly appreciated. If you would just like to exchange information, drop me a line via e-mail and maybe we can trade notes! -Paul O. Pederson (somewhere in Connecticut)

Back when I owned an IBM PC I won Ultima III. If you could be a bit more specific with your questions, I should be able to answer your questions.

Yes, this is a record. I am a beginner at Ultima III (having
it given to me) IBM-PC version. I have a few questions.
1. Where is the "Mark of King"? The "Mark of Force"?
2. How do you get into the temple which exists (SPOILER) when
you ram your ship into a whirlpool? What happens here?
3. What are Cards? What are they used for? How do you get them?
4. Does anyone have a general map of Sosaria WITH the locations
of the cities and dungeons? (Yes, I have the cloth map).
5. Can you cure poison WITHOUT buying healing OR spell (by, say
going somewhere)?
6. Do you get experience for things other than killing monsters?
7. How do you raise your ability?
8. Can you die of old age?
9. After Level 25, can you get more Hit Points?
10. Can you get more Hit Points without going up a level and
go to Lord British?
Any help on these questions and hints will be greatly appreciated!

When you go through the whirlpool aren't you then inside? Maybe you need a key or two, but I don't think there's anything else (I could be wrong...). The area past the whirlpool is vital to winning the game as this is where you go to get your attributes raised (you need gold for this, as I recall...). >3. What are Cards? What are they used for?

They are located on the bottom levels of dungeons, except that the Mark of Kings can be found on level 1 or 2 (I think in a dungeon SE of Grey). >2.

If you look around, you'll find 4 temples (also known as shrines). If you (E)nter one, the computer will ask you which player enters; this player can get his ability scores raised for 100 gold/point (each shrine handles a different ability score). >3.
