Dungeon Solution for Ultima VII

The Dungeons of Ultima VII are far less complex than these of the predecessors. Nonetheless the have some hairy parts that are adressed here, together with complete maps, to make it easy to solve them.

Deceit
The dungeon Deceit has to be entered after getting the enchanted Ether Ring from Penumbra in order to destroy the Tetrahedron Generator. While not a big dungeon, it is filled with traps, illusions and dead ends.

After entering the dungeon, move to 1 to flip the switch that opens the gate. You can also loot the Dragons at 2, but beware of Fire Fields. Then follow corridor 3. The many arrow traps can be mostly bypassed by fast moving along the northern wall. Going through the door will trigger hurtful lightning.

Talk to Amanda and Eiko at 4, before moving north through an illusionary wall in the northwest. If you want, battle the Dragons at 6 and take the loot. Go outside into the clearing and talk to Iskander at 5, who gives some hints.

Then follow the one corridor left through another illusionary wall, avoid the invisible caltrops and take the second eastern corridor, which leads through another fake wall (the southern room is a Poison Field trap). Move north through Energy Fields and Headless, before finally reaching the Tetrahedron Generator at 7. Use "Destroy Trap" to disarm the trap in front of the generator, put on the Ether Ring and enter the Generator to slay the Ether Monster. Use the prism and take it after the generator is destroyed. 

Despise
The dungeon Despise has no story relevance. It however has some nice loot. This dungeon has lots of keys that you should automatically get when looting the rooms, and is structured like a labyrinth.

After entering the dungeon, take the key, then proceed to open the doors until you reach the fireball-trap, after deactivating it with the switch ("Telekinesis" helps), move south. Loot all of the following caves and beat up the Trolls, until you again have to open doors, to enter the lair of the dark mage at 8. After killing him and looting the room, return to the fireball-trap.

Now open the doors to the east, then move south and avoid the teleport trap by finding a secret passage in the eastern wall. Walk past the teleporter room and go through the southern door. Follow the long corridor until you meet Garok Al-Mat at 9. Help him escape, and he gives reagents.

Now backtrack to the door and walk east. Follow the corridor until you reach the well-build room and walk over the bridge at 11 into the dragon's nest, where you loot everything. The Fountain has healing powrs. Backtrack and move to the teleporter marked 2 which brings you to 3. First use the key you find to unlock the door to the entrance, then follow the secret passage north to reach the teleporter at at 4 which brings you to 6. Go up the stairs and take the magical weapon, before taking the teleporter 5 to leave for the dungeon Shame, or just leave the dungeon. 

Destard
The main objective in dungeon Destard is, to find a Fellowship chest after Batlin instructed you to do so as the second Fellowship quest. The dungeon is less about exploring and more about pure survival.

After using the north entrance, go west and talk with Kallibrus, Cairbre and Cosmo to learn of their quest. Then go east and enter the Dragon Caves. There isn't much tactic, brute force is needed and the Dragons are hard enemies. You find the chest at 3, but it has been looted (look into it). Now search through entire cave for loot while avoiding the caltrops at 5. After this is done, leave to reach the southern entrance.

Once inside, talk to Lasher the Unicorn before looting this side of the dungeon as well. The fountain found there grants Protection. Afterwards return to Britain and report Batlin that there are monsters in the dungeon. 

Wrong
Dungeon Wrong has no story relevance. It however has some nice loot, which is guarded by a number of various nasties.

There is little tactic involved in looting all three levels of this dungeon, however, be careful of the traps at 1, which are mostly invisible caltrops, but also some fire fields, which drain health rather fast. The mess hall at 4 usually is filled with various nasties.

Special points are the dark mage at 2, who has lots of reagents (sometimes a Liche is present), and the Liche at 3, who is in possession of a Magic Sword. The torture chamber at 5 has nothing of actual interest in it and is purely for amusement. 

Covetous
Dungeon Covetous has no story relevance. It howver is useful for mining Blackrock and has some interesting characters in it. It is next to completely monster-free.

After entering through the northern entrance, massacre the Trolls living there, before moving first east, then south. Speak with Mikos at 1, before looting the storage shed. Move further south and you find the sickly Fodus, who tells of the Blackrock (you can ask Mikos about his claims as well). At 3 you find Malloy and Owings for some comic relief.

At the southernmost part of the mine, got through the seret corridor at 4 to find the Blackrock mine. With it, you have an unlimited supply of the material. 

Shame
The dungeon Shame has to be entered in order to destroy the Sphere Generator after talking with the Time Lord. It is a complicated maze with many traps, teleporters and nasties.

After entering, first go north-west and disarm the fireball-trap at 1 with "Destroy Trap". Then talk with Brother Wayne at 2 to help him out of his situation. Then move to 4 to teleport to 5. Then go to 6 to teleport to 7. Follow the corridor south and ignore the door for now. After some opposition you'll walk through a room with many fields, before reaching the generator at 11. Try to reach it, then use "Mark" for a teleport point, for later.

Return to the door, open it and kill the mage. Loot the room then ascend the invisible stairs at 10 into Selvyn's hideout. Kill him and his co-conspirators, then loot the room and the corpses. Save and experiment with the teleporters to get to their storeroom (others teleport you out) and loot this one as well.

Return after getting the enchanted Hourglass of Nicodemus to enter the Sphere Generator. Follow the color sheme of the flashing spheres and use the prism to destroy the generator. Take the prism with you. 

Hythloth
Hythloth is the final destination of the game, the path to the Black Gate of the Guardian. A very complicated maze with countless traps and puzzles.

After opening the entrance door at 1, walk south from the throne room and loot the Fellowship quarters at 2. Then return to the throne and walk through the curtain to flip the switch at 3. Now go north to the prison at 4. Play with the wrinch until you've gotten the key and pulled a hidden lever for a secret exit. Follow the corridor east, solve the wall puzzle at 5 and walk north until you reach the dragon cave at 6 with said Dragons and some nice armour.

Avoid the mirror at 7  and the teleporter at 8 , as they are both traps. Enter the Fellowship hall, lift the medallion and let it go to open the northern door. Go through the northern secret corridor. While it is possible to take the northern route, it is easier to walk through the eastern illusionary wall and follow the invisible path until reaching the teleporter 14, which will lead to 15'. Walk through another fake wall to reach the Throne of Change at 16.

Sit on it and wait to get teleported. Go through the southern fake wall and get the key from the body. Go through the north-western fake wall to kill the mage and loot his place. Then sit on the throne again to get teleported. Go through the northern fake wall, kill the Liche and sit on the Throne of Virtue at 19, enabling teleport location number 4. Then sit ont he Throne of Change again to teleport.

Kill another Liche to enter the teleporter at 21 which will take you to the Black Gate at 22. Now concentrate on killing Hook first, as it will cause Batlin to flee, then kill the others. Place the three Prisms on the transmitters to de-activate the beam and use Rudyom's Wand to destroy the Black Gate.
