Ultima 8 Music: Orchestral Re-Arrangement - Full Album Video

12th September 2026 by Dino

Following the recent news about his orchestral rearrangement of Ultima 8 music, Dustin Naegel has just published a new video featuring the full album, lots of gameplay footage, and exquisite renders of many of the Ultima 8 maps. I've added a link to this video to the Ultima 8 music section for future reference.

3rd Round of U8 Updates

10th September 2026 by Dino

I've made a few more updates to the Ultima 8 Walkthrough page:

• Added a link to The CRPG Addict's newest U8 post, "Pagan: The Necromancer's Apprentice".
• I am now hosting text copies of Ultima 8 walkthroughs by Jeff Abramson, Dan Fabulich, and King UrinTank/Butthole Surfers. I salvaged these from The World of Ultima: Year Two and Blackshadow Dragon's Ultima Warehouse, two long-defunct Ultima websites that both had copies of all three.
• I removed a broken link to a copy of the walkthrough by Jeff Abramson that used to be hosted at cheatinfo.de.

Additionally, Edbgon recently discovered two Tears of the Seas hidden behind walls in the West Tenebrae map, so I've added a new subsection to the U8 Hidden Things page about these Tears of the Seas in West Tenebrae.

More U8 Info Updates

7th September 2026 by Dino

Following my last news entry, I'm continuing to fix things in the Ultima 8 Guide and also add more information. Over the past few days I did the following:

• The CRPG Addict has since posted a new Ultima 8 entry, "Pagan: Rite of Passage". I've added this to the Ultima 8 Walkthrough page.
• A very old (and long gone) Ultima website by The Invincible Dragon once hosted an Ultima 8 walkthrough and a list of Earth spells, respectively. Links to archived copies of these (courtesy of the Wayback Machine) have been added to the U8 Walkthrough and U8 Magic pages, respectively. An entry for this site has also been added to the WebDB2.
• The U8 Guide's main page now has a new Documentation section, which includes a salvaged copy of the Ultima 8 manual (TXT format) once hosted at Quill Dragon's Lair.

I'm not done yet, so check back and I'll have more updates soon!
