I felt the same way.  I played for 10 hrs and promptly erased the game.
I was hoping that if I got to a high level the game would start to get
interesting.  The only thing I would like to add is that the graphics
did not impress me at all.  I liked the graphics in dungeon master on my
old atari st much better.  What I am saying here that I have seen
better graphics 6 years ago. 
Anyway if you like unending hack and slash, this game is probably for
you.

Yes, I'm four (or more) years behind the times.  Oh well.

I don't know how to finish the game.  I've cast all the shards into their  
flames, and have seen the instruction in the Codex, but I don't know how  
to get to the "eternal place of darkness."  Anyone have any hints.

Also, anyone know anything about black badges in Ultima V?

Thanks for the help.  I've got U6 & U7 to play when I finish this one.

	To help?

	With pleasure.
	The dungeon of Doom is located somewhat in the center of the 
Underworld. Descend into the Shame or Deceit, and try teleporting (In Por) 
to the south or east - see for it yourself. You should have sandalwood box, 
the Amulet, the Sceptre (and the Crown for easier life).

	Wear the Amulet, pass through lava to the very center. At the 
entrance call forth "VERAMOCOR" to unlock the dungeon. Warning! There is no 
way back as you enter.

	Use the Sceptre to destroy force field walls.

	The inside structure of the Doom is easy. Just walk around it, 
search whenever possible and do not forget to wear the Crown.

	When you meet Lord British, give him sandalwood box and watch the 
end sequence.

	About black badge... It's the sign of Blackthorn's faith - the 
Oppression. You can hardly benefit from it... save you can move around his 
castle without being arrested. I wouldn't obtain it in your place. After 
all, Avatar should have faith in Lord British (even though his Ultima 7+ are 
nothing but a pile of garbage, from my viewpoint).

	Ultima V is a wonderful game, for its kind and all.

	Hope that will help,

	Best regards,

Konstantin.
