Hi

I am looking for a lot of wrap-up hints for U7, so the following may contain
spoilers. I suggest that the kind soul answering should have completed the
game...























Question 1: How to get past the bloody hydra. I cheated and went 'etheral' to
get past him to the caddelite, but would like to know how I should have done
it.

Question 2: How do I find the Black Gate? I have cycled the throne of change,
and found a skeleton with a blue key. I have not found a use for this key. Is
the way to the gate in the secret passages that are engulfed in darkness?
Please help with direct answers.

Question 3: How exactly do I kill Lord British? I know that you must do
something with the plaque, but I have tried everyspell in the book with no
success. Has anyone killed Batlin?

Question 4: At the end of the game, they say that the next story takes you to
an isle called 'serpent isle'. Is this the Forge of Virtue isle, or is it the
next saga.

GENERAL POINT: Do you agree that the fights in the latest ultima's are less
climactic. I long for the U5 and U4 days where the players were controlled and
one could plan strategy and move away when they were wounded or getting weak-
this made for far more intense fights. Do you agree? 

I think that they should give the option to either manually control the battle,
or have the computer do it (as they currently do). Also, other players should
be able to cast magic. This will give a far more balanced party.

Thanks for any help.

Gavin

[PS. If you have done the Savage Empire, please tell me how to get to the fat
white ape on the hill so I can rescue some cheftain's precious daughter and
finally finish the game]

if i am not mistaken, it doubles 4th and 5th, not 1st and 2nd.
this is good news and bad news - it is a better ring, but only
if you have a high enough level mage. if you don't have a single-classed
mage, probably don't bother (unless you want to *make* yourself one).

I need help with the Dagger of Amon Ra

Possible spoilers follow:


Laura is being chased at the beginning of Act V.  She has wired the first
door shut and barred the second.  She can stand on the chair that 
appears by the door at the back of armory and open the transom.  She
can't do ANYTHING else except get off the chair and wait or run to her
death.  What else needs to be done?

Laura has lots and lots of items including Steve's boot, a replenished
supply of snake oil, the cheese, etc.  She has NOT found the garter that
an earlier poster mentioned.  Conversations have been heard through the
doors of Yvette's and Heimlich's offices and through the intercom in the
president's office.  Pippen's body (at least I think it is Pippen's body)
has been found stuffed into the suit of armor.  The skeleton has been
found with the watch in the trunk.  Laura has been through three secret  
passages leading to the Egyptian room, the president's office, and the vat
room.  I think I have a pretty good idea what is going on, but I am still 
stuck.

An earlier hint suggested that Laura was not supposed to go through the 
rear armory door yet, but some distraction was necessary.  The hint hasn't
done me any good.  I need something more explicite, but please try to
break it to me gently, i.e. provide a series of hints that, if I remain
too dense to get the earlier ones, I may still be able to do some thinking
on my own.

Many thanks.

I was watching the Discovery Channel this evening, a show called
'Next step' and they had a segment on LucasArts Entertainment ..
they showed a bunch of games including 'Loom' which looked
wonderful and X wing ....

X wing looked like nothing on earth except a real movie ... the
graphics were incredibly detailed, rotating smoothly in 3
dimnesions, and the action sequences were fast and very
realistic. 

My only thoughts were 'what kind of a machine are they running
it on ?' : I wouldn't have believed anything less than a 
486-50 could have produced these images.

What? Is DUNE II out already?? That would be a most welcome development.

While, true, DUNE was a *very* easy game; the graphics and sound were  
fantastic.  Actually, they inspired me to read the whole series of books (OK so  
I couldn't finish the sixth one because it was incredibly boring...but I

Several people have pointed out you need to drop some stuff.  Do it near
frequented stairways and it isn't that much of a problem.  Or just leave your
armor near the bottom when going back up solely to visit the armorer since
you won't get into any combats on the way.

At least in version 4 it's very possible to destroy a city by building
