I need help (obviously :-). Where do I find the Mandrake reagent in Ultima IV? I know that I am supposed to look for it in the "Ferns of the Dead" and the other place but other than being severly poisoned I found nothing. lindholm@staff.ucs.ubc.ca George_Lindholm@mtsg.ubc.ca USERGNL@UBCMTSG.BITNET University of British Columbia Computing Services (604) 228-4375

Well, first off. Go to the Bloody Plains instead. There is a single patch of swamp there, on the New Moon (i.e. when the moons are dark, both of them) enter that patch and search. The other place, to the best of my knowledge, no one has found Mandrake there. One tip, get a monster to stand over that patch in the Bloody Plains, kill it and the gold chest will occupy the swamp patch. Every new moon, just stand over the gold chest and you will find the Mandrake. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Travers "T'aran" Naran (I am male) Simon Fraser University, Computing Science (Burnaby, B.C., Canada) New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, North America, etc...

Hey,
The mandrake is where you said it should be. If I remember right
you search at midnight and yes, you will be poisoned... the good thing
about poison (if there is one), is that usually one or two guys gets poisoned
and it stays that way until you cure anyone. So keep searching like crazy
at midnight, let a few guys get poisoned, then move when the moons are not
midnight (I think two full moons mean midnight if I remember correctly)!
Any more help just ask here or E-Mail...
It was a long game, but I did it a few years back! Later!

It depends on if you have the sextant or not. If you have the SEXTANT the co-ordinates {sp?} are D,G L,G..... Let me know if this helps. -- ********************************************************************** * The most endangered species,* BFN.....

Surprisingly enough and for all its faults, Ultima V on the amiga does have a good point. It looks like the people who ported it, being unfamiliar with Amiga programming (as evidenced by their keyboard input routines, the pitiful area of the map saved, etc...) also followed CBM's guidlines properly -- Ultima V works on the A3000 with 2.0. What ever happened to the Ultima V patch that was being put together, anyway? -- Todd L.
