Holding a Boomerang

A boomerang is a weapon used by the gargoyles in Ultima VI. It further appears in Runes of Virtue, Savage Empire, Ultima VII: The Black Gate and Ultima VII Part Two.

Description[edit]

Unlike the Terran boomerang, the gargish version returns to the wielder even when it successfully hits its target. In Ultima VI it is a one-handed missile weapon and can also be used by the Avatar's party.

Effectiveness of the Weapon[edit]

In Ultima VII Part Two, boomerangs have a damage of "3" and a reach of "8".[1]

Lore[edit]

SE-boomerang.gif
Among the natives the Nahuatla obsidian-edged sword is considered the 'chief' of weapons, with the widely-used atl-atl, or spear-thrower, as the well-respected 'shaman'. Beyond that, in descending order of worth, we have the large, two-handed club favored by the strongest natives; the hand-thrown spear; the stone axe used by most native warriors; the primitive short-bow used by nearly every tribe for both warfare and hunting; the solid wood club; the rock hammer, a single-handed club; the scalpel - sharp Nahuatla obsidian knife, more practical as a tool than a weapon; and, finally the relatively rare boomerang.

Trivia[edit]

  • Boomerangs cannot be purchased in Ultima VII, not even from the gargoyles. They can only be found.
  • A metal Ultima VII Boomerang was sold in Japan as a promotional merchandize item for the upcoming SNES-Port of Ultima VII.
