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.

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)

I think this link should take you to the timestamp where he encountered it. https://www.twitch.tv/mr_zadok/v/1069558439?sr=a&t=3625s

If not, its his Ultima Underworld II: Part 3 video, 1 hour and 20 seconds in. He is swimming towards the island in the lake on Lvl 4.

Whoa, what is that even?! I've never seen that!

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.

Interesting. Since I rarely sleep in those games I never got that.

Thanks for the answer! I have seen random spawns before but never to that extent and usually only around the gem. I'll have to mess around with it on my next play through.

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.

With 666 Rep and that forum icon, you should take a screenshot before you post anything else. :)
