Entrance to Deceit, Ultima IV

The anti-Honesty dungeon of Deceit was first entered in Ultima IV. In it was found the Blue Stone, and a magic orb which gave one experience boost. It also connected to the Altar Room of Truth.

Lore[edit]

The dungeon Deceit can be found on a small island off the coast of Dagger Isle in the northeast corner of Britannia. Indeed it is a temple of guile, in which little is as it seems.

Walkthrough[edit]

Deceit is, despite its name, a straightforward dungeon with no real puzzles. The Blue Stone is found on Level 7 and the Orbs on levels 3, 5 and 6.

On level 1, move directly to the ladder going down. On level 2 follow the path through the doors and the stone trap and then navigate through the three dungeon rooms to find the ladder. Take the Orbs on level 3, then the western ladder to collect the gold on level 4. That done, return to take the eastern ladder, which leads right to level 5.

On level 5 first get all the gold and the Orb (the fountain heals the damage from the traps), then take the northern ladder. Now follow the path and walk through the two dungeon rooms until you reach the other half of level 6. Take the Orb and go through the traps to reach the ladder to level 7.

On level 7, cross the final dungeon room, then go through the traps and dispel the fields to get the Blue Stone.
