The Dungeon of Doom is a dungeon in Sosaria in Ultima III.

Description[edit]

The Dungeon of Doom can be found on a southwestern peninsula of the Sosarian mainland. Despite its ominous name and the foreboding writings found on its walls, the dungeon is a relatively easy challenge for an informed and well-equipped adventurer and if explorers discover the hidden stairway to its lowest levels, they will find themselves well rewarded with bounties of gold. The Mark of Force can also be found there.

Lore[edit]

“ The Dungeon of Doom is a strange place indeed, with danger lurking around every corner. Be especially watchful, my friends, of the traps on level five. For those brave and strong enough to reach the eighth level, the gold is bountiful. Herein also, a traveler may find magical fountains, one of each kind. The prize most sought, though, is the Mark of Force, hidden well on the dungeon’s floor.

– Lord Charles
