Hey look, I started another project.
Been doing some disassembly of Ultima recently to try and figure out exactly how it works; some of the gritty details about how monster damage is worked out were quite surprising, but mostly it's stuff that is already known. So once that was done, I decided to try planning out a run. Here's the outline so far:
- max out Int/Agi, pick Elf Wizard
- use starting money with ponds, get either a Phazor or Blaster, use the rest to create food
- go to Montor, get to the L2 ladder and repeatedly move up/down and kill anything that spawns, use this method to farm 528g
- go to Britian, buy a Frigate, sail to Castle of the Lost King, pick up the gem quest, rescue the princess for the stats
- travel between AGI/INT boosting locations to the North
- go to Castle of the Black Dragon, pick up the gem quest, rescue the princes
- buy 8x Level Up and 8x Level Down from Gauntlet/Nassau, buy enough food
- go to Castle of Rondorin and Shamino's Castle to get gem quests, rescue princesses both times
- go to Morbid Adventure and dive to the bottom using Level Down, killing one of each quest monster, leave by using Level Up
- turn in all the gem quests, rescue a princess each time, loot 9 pieces of armour from Shamino, hopefully this gives a Vacuum/Reflect suit, put it on
- go to Gerry (nearest town to Castle of Rondorin), buy a Shuttle, launch
- pick the big fighter, fly around killing allens, return when a space ace
- go back to Castle of Rondorin, rescue one last princess, go to Time Machine, shoot Mondain until he is a bat, get gem, kill Mondain
Might need to take out one of the princess rescues... might buy some Create spells to help with the Mondain fight?
Streamed two attempts of this today, both got to Mondain where I was suddenly and confusingly unable to hit him. If anybody has any idea why, please let me know.
