Serpent Isle Question: Switch on Monk Isle
An Ultima fan posed a question to me today that I didn’t have an answer for:
There’s a switch on Monk Isle… and I have no idea what it does. It’s weird though, it’s clearly unable to be accessed without the hack mover. So yo know the place you go when you die with the the hour glass? It’s directly to the left under the stairs…
Here’s the picture he sent along:
Anyone have any idea? Is this just something left behind, a remnant of content cut from Serpent Isle to make the ship date? Or does it actually do something?
I know exactly what it is! Just look at the setup of the room. Two flames on either side. An altar in the middle. Plenty of room in front of it for the huddled masses…

I forgot about that! Never figured out what it was for. Man I miss that game. My weekend might be occupied now.
At first I thought it might be the lever that opens the gates to the Serpent portal downstairs, but if you can only access this via hacking I don’t know! o_O
Thepal has it right.. it’s a wizard of oz reference.. at least I think
Albeit one that one has to cheat to reveal…
Perhaps it was done this way since the Fawn questline already contained a Wizard of Oz-like reference.
That’s incredible folks, thanks! 😀
