Serpent Artifacts

The Serpent Artifacs are very important in Ultima VII/2. The Avatar has to have all of them at near the end of the game, or it will be impossible to win. The artifacts are:


 * Serpent Earrings, needed to hear the Great Erath Serpent and enter the Shrine of Balance.


 * Serpent Necklace, needed to enter the Shrine of Balance.


 * Serpent Ring, needed to enter the Shrine of Balance.


 * Serpent Staff, nedded to summon the Great Hierophant and become Hierophant yourself.


 * Serpent Armour, best armour in the game, needed to become Hierophant.


 * Serpent Crown, needed to become Hierophant.


 * Eye of the Serpent (not on picture), needed to summon the Chaos Hierophant.

The Avatar first found the Serpent Earrings, given to him by Shamino. A gift from Frigidazzi. The Serpent Ring was the reward for finishing the Tests given by Zhelkas in Furnance. On the way outside, the Avatar found the Serpent Staff guarded by Trolls. The Nacklace, the Avatar got by freeing the souls from the Swamp of Gorlab. Following the notes of dead Hawk, the Avatar found the Serpent Crown in a hollow tree near the Knight's Test. The Serpent Armour was next. After giving the disfigured Lady Yelinda the Comb of Beauty, she gave in return the key for the treasure chamber in Fawn, where the Amour was kept. The Eye was last, and the Avatar only got it, after Sethys died, having left the field that enabled him to live for so long.
