The map

Included with Ultima Underworld was this paper map, showing the first level of the Abyss.

Description[edit]

This map is useful for a beginner, so as to give orientation to an inexperienced Avatar. The map also warns of dangers like monsters and indicates important places. However, there is a little bit of the northern part of the level not on the map, leaving it a surprise.

Besides the original release, this map also is included in the Underworld Series.

Other Releases of the Map[edit]

The map had always been a paper one and is the same in almost all western versions. However, the map distributed in Poland by IPS is the exception. It is in monochrome and the layout was rearranged, thus turning the square map into a rectangular one.

The Japanese ports of Ultima Underworld sport a very different looking map as well. The color scheme is much more muted, with yellows and reds replaced with grays and browns, the edge of the water and the central volcano were given better borders and the outer edge and the title were being re-done completely. Also, the map was re-arranged, turning a square map into a rectangular one. The map of course is in Japanese.
