Jump to navigation Jump to search

The number of keys in Ultima VII Part Two is simply astounding. It is next to impossible to keep inventory. Fortunately, the game does have a keyring feature, which allows easy carrying of all the keys and trying all at once on a locked door. In order to not confuse the keys, here a complete overview, complete with notes about special properties of said keys.

The list is most likely not entirely complete, with some keys probably still missing.
