Ultima VI Clue Book: The Book of Prophecy

The Ultima VI Clue Book: The Book of Prophecy is 75 pages long. It originally retailed for USD$12.95 and was published in 1990. It was written by Dr. Cat.

Description
The clue book is written in a narrative style - a first in the cluebook series - in the form of a letter to the Avatar from Taynith and Mandrake. Mandrake generally handles the descriptions and gives general hints, while Taynith's additions are more specific. It contains maps and descriptions of all the towns, dungeons, and other major locations in Ultima VI. There is also a complete walkthrough, as well as information about the cost of items, trainer locations, etc. All the maps are hand-drawn and the book also sports some pieces of original art. The Gargish Alphabet is also included, with a Gargish-English and English-Gargish dictionary of common words.

Book Content
The cluebook has the following content:
 * Cities and keeps
 * The dungeons and caves
 * Special Items
 * Arms and armor
 * The art of spellcasting
 * Shopping guide for Britannia
 * Detailled Walkthrough
 * Gargish-English and English-Gargish dictionary

C64 Cluebook Update
Due to various changes and cuts in the C64-Port of Ultima VI, the cluebook was only partially usable for that version. To make up for that, Origin announced in the reference card that players could get a C64 update for the cluebook. The update consisted of four pages and showed exactly what was changed and also pointed out the locations of the deviously hidden invisible levers. For some reason, the map of Sutek's ISle was printed upside-down.

Trivia

 * For The Ultima 6 Project, a new version of the Cluebook was created, which is available in English and German and tries to imitate the style of Ultima cluebooks as close as possible. In the links below are the places where to find both language versions.
