Horses cost 800 gold pieces, and though they can be found for free in Old Fawn, they cannot be taken out of it since it is on an island and horses cannot board ships. The ship is also safe from the whirlpool behind the serpent. This ship allows easy access to the castle from the moongate, making the journey into the Dungeon of the Snake no longer needed. Entering the moongate that leads to the Isle of Fire often gives the chance that a pirate ship is spawned in the small pool of water behind the Great Earth Serpent. The way that pirate ships are spawned in Ultima III after reaching level 5 can be used to get to Exodus earlier than expected by the plot. You can enter the Dungeon of Doom, go east five steps through the secret door, grab the chest (preferably with Appar Unem), return to the ladder, exit and then repeat. This also works with transferred equipment. This can be done multiple times, even storing the permanent characters in the roster until there are four permanent characters that are well equipped with gold and food. If the game is saved and then restarted, the dummy characters can be deleted, but the permanent character will still retain the food and gold it received from them. Then, after starting the game, all gold and food can be transferred to the permanent character. This system can be misused by first creating one character to keep, and three dummy characters, whose stats and class are irrelevant. All characters are in a roster that can be accessed at the start of a game, and the attributes of each character are stored when saving the game. Newly-created characters always start with 150 gold and 150 food. The biggest visible change, however, is in the game’s graphics MagerValp was able to transplant many of the colour tables and tiles from Ultima 5 into Ultima 4, and was also able to bring over features such as the ability to select an active character in combat.The character creation process in Ultima III can be used to obtain unlimited amounts of money, food, and even equipment. Dialogue paths - along with numerous typos - have also been corrected and adjusted you can check out his work on the game’s dialogue in this GitHub repository. In all, MagerValp estimates that around 90% of the bugs in the original C64 version of Ultima 4 have been eliminated in his version. ![]() However, after finding that the loader from that release was…not particularly functional, MagerValp took it upon himself to rewrite and improve upon his original work. This project began life as Ultima 4 Gold, the primary feature of which was a rewritten loader for the game that ostensibly supported larger hard drive capacities. A vastly improved version of Ultima 4 for the Commodore 64, Ultima 4 Remastered features improved graphics, enhanced art during cutscenes and the character creation sequence, and numerous bugfixes, including some that have been adapted from the patches hosted here for the PC version of the game. ![]()
