Ultimate Dragon

Heroes may attempt to fight the Ultimate Dragon, a fearsome adversary. Successful combatants will receive a substantial prize. To attempt the quest, contact an immortal online to arrange a time. Here are the rules of engagement:

- Participants must be level 51 with more than 500 sublevels. - The prize is non-transferable and is bound to the winner. - You may only successfully complete the quest once. - Caveat to above: If you remort and thus lose the gear you

 can try again at Hero 500.
 Note: Exchanging your girth for a Once-Sundered Ring does not
 count as the gear being 'lost'.

- If you fail, you may not attempt the quest for another week. - All spell effects are cleared prior to starting the quest. - The quest is a fight to the death. - There is a 30 minute time limit to find and kill the dragon. - Surge, augment, link refresh and track are disabled. - It is up to the player to loot the girth and skin the corpse.

If you'd like a taste of what this quest entails, you can often watch battles with the Dragon in the viewing room one north of the Sanctum entrance.

<spoiler text='The current strategy for UD'> Before you start the maze the Immortal will cast ablution on you. This means no outside effects. 'This means self spells are up to you.' The timer starts once you leave the starting room and go North.

---

The Maze is most easily completed by dropping a single coin. So remember to bring at least one coin with you. Then go through each direction until you find the exit that does not lead back to the first room with the coin. Make sure to write this exit down. Then try the same in the next room. You'll have to start from the first room each time you find an incorrect exit. You'll know when you've found UD. Make sure to let the immortals know that you've reached the final room and start spelling up. Each class lacks certain buffs that are easily replaced with utility buffs.
A brief list of things to remember for UD:
1) At least one coin
2) Know your self spell. Find buff gear for spells that you lack.
3) Potions potions potions.
4) linkrefresh is your best friend
5) UD is aggie

NOTE: UD is currently undergoing a major overhaul.
Please specify currently. A date of post and some hint to the overhaul would remove doubt of this portions validity.
