Secret Locations - Fun Stuff

Here's one I tested and confirmed, last night - Go into the Brit sewers, to where the switches are located. There is also a sign at the spot that says "sign". Speak the word "Charvory". You'll drop into a secret dungeon area below the sewer. Watch out! the first corridor is filled with acid, it's tough to navigate. The second corridor is the same, but packed with acid and poison ele's, after that my traveling partner died, but reported orc brutes, and much more. At the end he found the remnants of a moon gate. Sounds pretty cool.

Also, on the pirate thing, on Pacific, go to the ruins south east of Trinsic and speak the word "shinies"

Some more places and pics.....



Above, this is in the Yew crypts.
Below, in the drop down area on the west side.



Below, the upper floor above the Trinsic Tinkers Guild.



Below, pics of 2 secret rooms hidden in Sosaria somewhere.
These are not EM event things. They have been there from the start, and speculation is that they were the homes of the Liche Twins Lathiari and Kyrnia.
I'm sorry, but I am under a solemn oath, under pain of torture and death, not to reveal more about this. :gee:

Just thought when we were searching for Ricardo there was a wall tourch we had to keep clicking on the back wall in the demon room in Terathen keep that lead to a hidden spot with terathans and a scarcrow, I'm not surre if its still working.

Actually that is a one way teleporter and it links from the area around Titan Valley in the Lost Lands.
It teleports to an area outside of the clump of trees a screen away from there. JC the builder gave an explanantion which would make sense but this was in Trammel so....maybe a bleed over?

I know about tons of special places... But unlike Trebr.... my lips are sealed to most of them! I'll give up a couple.

I have a rune somewhere to inside the lighthouse...



I know there is a room on GL's down deep in Deceit I think it is.... where if you say something you find yourself in a small room with a stair...

But I do not like to reveal my "secret" locations.... and shame, shame, shame on you Trebr for telling!

Why?
I needed some interesting places to hide some things for RP, so this thread seemed pretty interesting.
But this whole "I know places but not telling" thing some of you have going on is just plain annoying. It'd be better if you all just kept quiet, instead of dangling carrots.

I'm just trying to get some of that old magic back in UO. Most non-really old players don't know about any of this (I think anyways). And this is the sort of thing they should have expanded on instead of AoS items. I know most of them were bugs. But the interest was there, even though they are mostly meaningless. UO should have picked this ball up and run with it.

At any rate, I sort of struggled with revealing secrets. They aren't secrets anymore when some idiot like me starts revealing them. And I do like secrets. Notice though that I didn't include the means to get in on that last set.

I'm sort of hoping players will get into this sort of game play, so that the Devs would consider it a valuable aspect.

That's why we keep the secrets, for our own RP things, and they lose any coolness if everyone knows about them. A lot of secret places are closed off now, and need a rune already marked. Maybe someone on your shard will help you out.

That's from early on in the Ricardo storyline the remains of a moongate are how Barry got stuck in the luna moongate, don't know if it's still turned on but you could say name to the moongate and it would say "Barry, Barry the moongate", and if you said "all follow me" to get your pet in line he would say something like "sir, madam your pet has a name"

I keep them secret because that's the nature of my character..... Malag-aste... and RP wise I HATE giving out secrets...

And I like keeping them Secret because I enjoy using them RP wise and would HATE if it was fully public and full of people .... I prefer them secluded and less known... much nicer that way.

Aside from the occasional champ spawn and Luna at certain hours, 'full of people' isn't something that holds much weight anymore, lol. :p

EDIT: @Kiminality: Most areas can be accessed at well known, well established rune libraries. Most seem to carry a section on hidden places. Truth be told, many places that were at one time accessible merely aren't now. Don't know why. And don't let people get you down for not giving away everything they know... in truth, there are far less 'cool secrets' in game than some make it out to be. :)

I have one for under the guard tower in east brit I'm currently not playing UO so I don't have any way to get a picture, I got it from someone on Baja and moved to Catskills. It's one of my favorite places it's a two by two platform I call limbo.

Yeah, but you're a noob, trying to bait us out like that. :lol:

If anyone has a char on Catskills I have a public book of "hidden locations" locked down in my house. Anyone is free to use it, a lot of runes are blocked now though :(

Ojnoes! Skiez would be fawlin!

People won't even banksit at WBB, so what makes you thing they'd be there at the exact time you were using your seekrit places. Not to mention the little fact that there's a whole bunch of other shards out there that aren't the one you play on, but that it would be oh-so-tragic they knew where these places were.
I guess it's all good to talk about community being above greed and selfishness, until it come to actually walking the walk.

I believe that was in Despise, In one of the top 2 levels (Ettins or Lizardmen). There was one tile where you could walk down into it, which hid the water and left you looking at the dip in the ground. I'm pretty sure they fixed that, so your marked rune might be a pretty rare thing.
It doesn't work anymore :(, but that was my favorite place to hide :).

Oh another one is the Apple tree south of Skara Fair Ground

LOL! Seeing as we used to RP together, and my history in UO is almost as long as yours, I'm not sure 'noob' is the right word.

There is no bait, merely pointing out the truth. I'm sure Malag Aste can attest to my credentials.

We roleplayed together? I don't know you by this name, unless I've forgotten Canary in UO because of knowing Canary on the boards for so long. (So yeah, I know you're not a noob, just teasing)

I would probably agree with you on the rarity of secret places, except I think it might be sort of a judgment call. I mean, what's a lot in reference to what? I think it falls in the gray area, not definitely one or the other.
