Cube Generator Solution

The Cube Generator in Ultima VII involves a really complicated puzzle where the Avatar has to create bridges, evade traps and figure out how to bypass invisible walls. To make it easier, here a solution to this puzzle.

All numbers in the text reference to the picture below.



First create bridge 1. Then create bridges 4 and 3, which will remove bridge 1. Walk over bridge 3 to activeate bridges 5 and 22, then go back. Now walk over bridge 5 and then north to create bridges 7 and 10. Walk over bridge 7 and then to north, destryoing bridges 5 and 7 in the process, to create bridge17. Be warned, from now on you have to contend with fireball shooters!

Next pass bridge 17 then go south then over bridge 10 to create bridges 9 and 18. Walk south and over bridge 9 to to trigger bridges 5 and 22. Walk back north and over bridge 18, then a little west to create bridge 19. Walk over bridge 19 and then to the west to create bridges 14 and 21. Walk south over bridge 14, only to suddenly land in fire fields! Quickly run west then onto bridge 21 to create bridges 13 and 15, while removing bridge 19.

Brave the fire fields again to return where bridge 19 used to be and walk south over bridge 15 to activate bridge 20. Walk over bridge 13 to reach bridge 20, then go south to remove bridge 20, but also activate bridges 11 and 16. Walk over bridge 16 onto bridge 11 to activate bridge 6. Walk south, then east over bridge 6 and then to the north to create bridge 2 and (if not done so already) bridge 4.

Walk over bridges 6 and 4 back to the beginning. Now walk north first over bridge 2 then over bridge 8. Go west, which destroyes bridge 2 but also creates bridge 23. Now you have to go further west to trigger bridge 12, whose trigger sadly is right on a fire field! Leave quickly and walk over bridge 12 to the center of the maze. Finally activate the encased prism to destroy the generator.
