Baron247: I was watching Mr_Zadok on Twitch doing an Ultima Underworld 2 play through and he encountered a hostile spectre at the lake where the acid worms are in the Britannia sewers. I have played the game through countless times and have never encountered the spectre. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, is there an even trigger?

Note: I'm not referring to the ghosts or haunt in the sewers. It was the transparent mage model with spellcasting and poison.

bliznik: I'm not sure what "transparent mage model" you are referring to. The only transparent monsters I remember are ghosts, and maybe that ice golem in the ice world.

Which lake? Are you referring to the lake on lv. 4 of the sewers (http://www.usecode.org/ultima/uw2/uw2msewer4.html), or the lake on lv. 5 of the sewers (https://www.usecode.org/ultima/uw2/uw2msewer5.html)?

AFAIK, there are no ghosts in any section of lv. 4 of the sewers. There are two ghosts in the bottom-left section of lv. 5 of the sewers, guarding the Green emerald, and a couple of other items there if I remember.

If you remember correctly, could you point to which video and what hour/minute you saw this spectre? (https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=mr_zadok%20ultima%20underworld%20II)

bliznik: OK, I asked around, and one of the players I chatted with said that they remember seeing that Foe as a "random gem spawn."

Random gem spawns appear around the gem on lv. 4 and 5 of the Sewers after you rest there (use a bedroll). I was able to confirm that random gem spawns sometimes appear after resting by testing it out. I was able to get a skeleton to appear on lv. 5 (http://prntscr.com/17lctfd), another skeleton tp appear on lv. 4 (http://prntscr.com/17lcx7b), and a headless to appear on lv. 4 (http://prntscr.com/17ld11c).

I was also able to get a CRAPLOAD of rats, slugs, and rotworms to appear on both lv. 4 and lv. 5. So, it's possible that this mage/spectre is also one of those random spawns.

rmeakins: Wow, I have never seen that before either. And I have played this game a lot.

Here's a couple of screenshots from the shared VOD in case anyone else wants to check it out.
