Ultima Underworld II - Speedrun (4/5)

I optimized my strategy so that I only visit every world the absolute minimum number of times possible. Final time is 52 minutes 41.2 seconds. This is about my eighteenth recorded attempt and is probably about as 'perfect' as I can get in a single-segment run. I'd guess if I got it absolutely perfect it'd probably save about 2-4 minutes total, getting it under 50 minutes. While I never 'cheat', in order to pull off this fast time I did take advantage of several very interesting glitches and shortcuts. Now I did originally consider doing this run without using them, but the problem with not using them is that it would have easily taken two or three times longer to complete (a lot of boring time spent building up the character, etc). So since I just wanted to go for the fastest achievable in-game time (1 minute real-world equals 1 minute game time, meaning no dying or sleeping as it uses game time) using only methods inside the game world.

I never get sick of watching your speedrun. For me, this is one of the most engrossing games I ever played. It has everything - treachery, suspense, comedy, fighting, spells, stealth and an awesome plot. When you finally meet Praecor Loth it is one of the saddest moments in the game.

amazing. I never seen something like this. I think you can go under 50 minutes if you use "gate travel" for teleport back at the gem, using the 2 moonstone (mmm one is in the locked door on the third level of britannia). Or you can simply make debris only of the object you really use mostly. Anyhow very very good (i'm playing right now at this game) :)

I have a question; how do you get to run it WITH SOUND soo smoothly? I can get either with sound/music + lags(DOSBox 0.72) or no lag but no sound/music(windows XP Patch)
by the way, I love your speedrun, Ultima Underworld 2 has been one of my(and I wouldn't be mistaken if I added my brother as well) favourite games.
It made me laugh when I saw you left the black sword on floor. lol. it also makes me laugh when you run through the labyrinth super fast.
have a nice day. reply appreciated
