Cheating in Ultima Underworld II

Ultima Underworld II has no built-in cheat system. However, it is still possible to gain either from tricks or program oversights. Oversights are errors in the programming, while tricks are just clever tactics.

All your Gold
If you ever need more money, find someone who you can barter with. If they have any money, they will give all their gold for one gold piece. (Example-13 gold traded for 1 gold piece) The NPC's always accept the trade.

The Endless Potion
This is the best-known oversight. Breaking a potion by either throwing it repeatedly against a wall or attacking it, turns it into a pile of garbage. However, the garbage still has the properties of the potion and will never run out! Especially useful with healing and mana potions.

Open the Door!
Should a locked door be annoying, use "Dispel Rune". Despite an error message, all locks are removed.

Open the Door!, Part 2
In Britannia, spells above level 4 can't be casted, meaning no way to use "open" to unlock doors. However, casting the spell in another world and then running back to the door in Britannia while holding the spell on the cursor, that is allowed. Care has to be taken, that the route doesn't need the player to interact with something.

Experience (and Gold), the easy Way
There are two ways to get experience and gold, without too much efford:


 * Method 1: In the Scintillus Academy, open the gate on the first level, and then go on to slaughter the Mongbats. Experience will cumulate fast, although the game will crash if too many mongbats (over 200) are killed.


 * Method 2: In the Pits of Carnage, ignore everything else and first talk with Zoranthus to get access to Rhiannon and get the Sword of Stone Strike. Now always ask Jospur to arrange fights agaisnt five enemies in the arena of earth with the maximum bet. You can easily slaughter them with the sword. Experience, equipment and gold will come very fast.
