ULTIMA 4 QUEST OF THE AVATAR FLUTE FULL
There is a long bridge near the mandrake root location, near the shrine of Sacrifice: wait there for easy battles against trolls, and move to the "harvest" one battle after the full moons. Even better: purchase reagents for just 8 Cure spells, overpay the apothecary, and restock after every trip to the Blood Plains, so to improve Honesty and Justice. Purchase a good stock of ginseng and blood moss (not garlic!), for a good number of "Cure" spells. As the nightshade fungus, mandrake root can only be found "on the darkest of nights". Go from Moonglow to the Lycaeum: a druid in the library (Swindrik from Trinsic) directs the party straight to Calumny of Yew, without need to tip 100 GP tip at any pub.Ĭalumny tells you the exact coordinates of the only one spot where mandrake root grows: in the plains south of Minoc. In the NES remake, too, the mandrake root thread starts near the end of the fungus one. See also Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar/Side Quests#Mandrake root Magic reagents Nightshade fungus Ĭalumny reveals the coordinates of the mandrake root. Both items are in chests, in two different basements: the flute is at the centre of the ruins, and the robe is in the south-west. When you come back to the ruins, talk to the skeleton in the north-east, and it will give you permission to take them (otherwise, your virtue score will be lowered). In other words, if you are playing as the shepherd, it is impossible to obtain these items since game start. First of all, you need a companion who can cast the "cure poison" spell, then you also need to purchase the magic key that costs 2000 GP. The flute and the robe are found in Magincia ruins.
