Ultima 9 Part #103 - Chapter 11, Part 3

Part 103: Chapter 11, Part 3

: If you don't re-establish the link, I will be lost forever.

: Tell me what I need to do.

: First, you must consult the sacred statue here on the isle of Skara Brae. The statue will tell you the Mantra of Spirituality.

: Once you have learned the mantra, come back here and perform the Ritual of Return.

Not to be confused with the Return Ritual, which opens a Moongate.

: The ritual is simple: set the Bell, Book and Candle around me in a triangle.

: Then, open the book and read the passage that you find therein, light the candle, and ring the bell. Once you have done that, speak the Mantra of Spirituality.

: Once the sacred mantra has been spoken, I will be brought back into the physical world.

Just what we always wanted.

: I know you to be worthy and good. Although I no longer can protect this place, I see all that happens. How may I serve you, worthy Avatar?

: Do you know anything about Shamino?

: I know Shamino well, for he is the champion of Spirituality. I know that Shamino entered into the Temple of Souls some years ago and has not emerged.

: I know that he is in danger, but from what I cannot say. You must hurry to him, Avatar, his life force is weakening.

: What can you tell me of the Temple of Souls?

: The Temple of Souls is a portal to the nether world. There, spirits roam, searching for what they lost in life.

: What has happened to Skara Brae?

: The Guardian loosed his anger and laid waste to Skara Brae.

: My thanks to you. I must leave now.

: Before you continue on your quest, Avatar, stand in the palm of my hand and there receive a blessing.

: Use the mantra well and wisely, and may you always walk with Spirituality.

Up the beach is a locked chest. Normally to get inside we'd need to select the virtue of Spirituality at the beginning of the game, which would make a key appear among our starting equipment.
