Smonden is a mountain man who had been taken prisoner by Tyball. He appears in Ultima Underworld.

Description[edit]

Smonden was contacted by Garamon, as a first attempt before reaching the Avatar, to bring down his brother by re-uniting the Key of Three Parts. However, Tyball caught the man and imprisoned him.

When the Avatar freed him from Tyball's prison on the seventh level of the Abyss after slaying the evil mage, Smonden lamented his continuing sense of imprisonment; having been unable to complete his quest for the Key of Courage for so long, he could no longer resume because of his ill health. When the Avatar offered to do it for him, Smonden gave the hero the key to the secret stairwell that would lead to the talisman, also describing which way to go in order to reach the door. He no longer had any interest in the quest.

Later, Garamon rescued him when the volcano erupted.

Lore[edit]

This prisoner is Smonden. Him I have broken, and continue to break, for all his myriad crimes against me. He conspired with the spirit of my long-dead brother to bring me down. He sought the three pieces of the Tripartite Key, that he might enter the Chamber of Virtue and do me some harm. I think that, even now, he harbors some knowledge about the key.
