Destard is one of Ultima V’s simpler dungeons, at least until the final series of rooms.

Level 1: Head east at the junction and down the pit at the end of the tunnel.

Levels 2 and 3: Continue down.

Level 4: Head north, into the room, and down the grate.

Level 5: Go down through the first pit encountered.

Level 6: Continue downward.

Level 7: Head northeast through a bat-filled room. Continue north, ignore the ceiling hole, and enter the room full of slime, hurrying down through a grate.

Level 8: Go south, then west at the junction, then into the first room encountered.[n 1] There will be daemons surrounding a brazier; it can be destroyed by ranged weapons to flood their area with lava. Kill them and then leave and come back to reset the lava trap. Proceed south into a room full of dragons. South of here will be a hole leading to the Underworld.

The Underworld below Destard holds Lord British's Amulet. Note that this place can be reached through the waterfall in Spiritwood, however, if no Gate Travel spell is available, nor is a moonstone to return to the surface, egress must be done without supernatural means.

  1. As an exploit, enter either of the other rooms on this level and immediately exit south. Once inside the wall, walk out of it and into the hallway. This won't work in the opposite direction.
