DETAILED Ultima V Dungeon maps?

[DalTXColtsFan]

I'm starting to get a little ticked at walking into a dungeon room and
immediately having a character get possessed (because I forgot to don
British's crown), then pushing every wall, getting every torch,
attacking every wall segment, fountain, pillar or gravestone, and not
being able to figure out how to open those last few areas in the room
where there are obviously some daemons, dragons, wisps or gazers
hiding, leaving and seeing BATTLE IS LOST!

I've tried Google but haven't had a lot of luck finding a site that
not only has the dungeon maps, but the lists of what to push, attack
or take and/or where to stand in each room to unlock the "secret
areas".

Any suggestions (other than "oh, quit whining :) ) will be
appreciated!

Thanks

Should have gone straight to the Codex of Editable Wisdom:

enjoy!

Thanks!

I saw that, but it only has 1 or 2 screenshots of actual rooms within
the dungeons. There are many rooms where if you, for example, take a
torch or attack a tombstone it opens up a secret area. Most are
pretty obvious, like in Covetous, where in almost every room you
attack a tombstone and it opens the area behind the tombstone where
there's a ghost and several other monsters (usually skeleton, rats,
bats or snakes).

There's a particular room in Deceit, I think it's on the 8th level
(maybe the 7th) where you walk in and there's a room down below full
of rats, a dead body and a couple pillars, and the area to the left
and right of that room is blocked from view. But I know something's
back there because one of my charcters got possessed when I walked in,
and when I killed the rats and left the room it said BATTLE IS LOST!

I couldn't figure out how to open that part of the room (or if it's
just impossible).

That's the kind of detail I was looking for.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

ah, you wanted the full detail rather than the critical path. I'm sure
I've seen that somewhere but I don't recall where. :(

Another alternative is to equip a morning star and attack behind the
walls with it. It's tedious but EVENTUALLY you can probably kill
everything back there. :)

Morning stars can attack behind a wall??? Really??? Never even
considered trying that!

Speaking of behind behind stuff, one thing that really irked me was
those four rooms on level 8 of Deceit where the dragons are behind
pillars. I can kill the dragons by lining everybody up diagonally and
firing Magic Axes (I didn't have any flaming oil or in flam grav
spells which would have helped as well), but then how do I get behind
the pillars to get the dragons' treasure chests??? Dragons are LOADED
baby!

Morning stars and IIRC halberds- the weapons that can attack two
spaces. It was at the least true in the C128 version. It's obviously
kinda nonsensical but really handy for clearing out those rooms.

I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that if you leave at
least one monster alive in a room the monsters are guaranteed to re-
spawn. I wonder if the intention was that you're not SUPPOSED to get
behind the walls in those rooms so that the monsters re-spawn and you
have more opportunity to amass treasure and experience.

Another hypothesis: I never walk into a dungeon without Lord
British's crown anymore, and it seems to me that more often than not
when there are hidden monsters, they're either wisps or daemons.
Before I got the crown I got so *(@#($@# every time I walk into a room
and a daemon possesses one of my dudes. I'll bet that they're wisps
behind there and I never see them because the crown doesn't let them
use their teleport or possess magic.

Whadaya think?
