- 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.

amazing stuff, i love it! This totally brings back my childhood!
Your video is great. Thanks a lot for posting it.
And please, do the videos of the secrets of UW/UW2. It will be a plesure to watch.
I remember getting to the multifaceted gem gateway thing.. and I remember I got to the ice world... but that was as far as I think I ever got. One of my most favorite games of all time along with Star Control 2, Monkey Island II.
This game turns into a total acid trip LOL. Stick figure world? haha.. Man, those developers were definitely doing some good shit.
What a bad day for the Guardian. All that planning and effort wrecked by the Avatar in less than an hour.
I agree. I played this game and it takes me many many days. Thanks
Wow! One of the most impressive speed runs I have ever seen. Having played this game again somewhat recently, I know how much work you put into this. Alone the technical parts are impressive (jumps, the pyramid, combat, avoiding combat, etc.) and the planning is superb. Would be great if you could comment the run more because it's hard to figure out exactly what you are doing in some places. Also could you please upload the higher quality full video somewhere? Perhaps SDA will host it?
BRILLIANT a level 12 fighter freed castle British after 0 days imprisoned in the jewel!
damn that was a nice watch... big UW2 fan here
Had no idea you could turn magic items into debris and use em forever though... cool trick
Nice job, man!
When will you upload Ultima Underworld I?
Really excited because I liked that one more. Also, you seem to know a lot about secrets and stuffs, so could you please add them to your coming video even if it takes more time? Think more people than just me would like it :)
Thanks!
Excellent demo of a game that has never been equalled. Just goes to show: Brilliant graphics really do come second best to great ideas. Shame the authors split up and never made a new game.
You mean that weird black-and-white stick figure dungeon? That was pretty drat cool.
The fucking Ultima 1 reference made my lol so hard
I'd love it :)
Saw e'm both, Nice job. Any chance of Serpents Isle speedrun?
No real important questions but would be nice to know the details on the equipment that you pick up (ring, armor etc.), a description of the spells and potions (some like portal are not that obvious to someone who hasn't played the game in a while) as well as an explanation for some of the less intuitive actions and sequence breaks.
The setting of Ultima Underworld 2 is more diverse than that of UU1
and the game and action screen are bigger However I prefered the
Stygian Abyss. Labyrinth of the Worlds is at times excessively
difficult with an annoying character development system. I liked UU2 but it could & should have been better . Anyway good playing!
Is this game some sort of "open world", so that you can still play with your character after you finished the game, or is it more like "Gothic" in this manner (so the game ends and you have to start over). Because I am thinking about buying it, but I don´t like games with an end xD
