Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress

Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress

After receiving help from the Lords of the Realm in Ultima I, your character travels back in time, finds the mad sorcerer Mondain, kills him, and ends his reign of terror. In Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress, Mondain's protégé Minax, who has studied the mad wizard's teachings and writings, returns to take revenge on the person who killed her teacher and lover - you. And instead of waiting for you to return to her homeland of Sosaria, she wreaks havoc on your own Earth. In Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress, your task is quite different from its predecessor. Earth has been transformed into a half-modern, half-fantastic world by the forces of magic, and therefore things are much stranger than you might expect. As explained in the introduction, your task in the game is to "fight strange creatures all over the Earth, search for clues in careless words in the local pub, cross deep, dark, deadly dungeons and high, scary towers ... And conquer time itself to fight Minax the Sorceress."

Story

After the dark wizard Mondain was defeated, rumors spread that he had an apprentice with immense magical power. However, no evidence of this successor was found and the world believed that evil had been defeated. For years, peace and prosperity flourished, aided by the mysterious time gates that made new discoveries possible. But evil slowly returned, first in the form of a lone, good-natured orc who had escaped magical control. Soon the darkness spread uncontrollably, revealing Minax, Mondain's apprentice. Minax, who was far more powerful than her master, not only spread evil - she also corrupted good and turned people against each other. Her greatest success was the devastation of the year 2111, when once great civilizations destroyed themselves in hatred. The few survivors used the time gates to escape, hoping to reverse the catastrophe. Two theories emerged: Either Minax was the sole source of the evil, or eliminating the cause could completely erase the effects. Lord British and his allies now entrust you with a dangerous mission - travel through time to stop Minax. If you succeed, history will be restored, though future generations may never know the hero's sacrifice. The choice is clear: embark on this journey, with the power of good as your guide.
