In Ultima: The Black Gate (SNES) there is a secret dungeon that is accessible from The Dungeon of Unknown Fears. The secret dungeon contains the Shield of Reflection and also has connections to some of the other dungeons in the game - Dungeon Sagatious, Undertaker and Buccaneer's Cave
Description[edit]
It is unclear what any of the switches do individually, but generally switching them will open the unexplodable walls marked with green on the map below. There are more switch rooms and many many more switches than are necessary to open all the unexplodable walls. Some of the switch rooms also have tile-sets and monsters that are different from the rest of the dungeon. It is unknown if some of the switches have effects outside of the Secret Dungeon with doors which couldn't be opened.
The golden key allows one to get back into the secret dungeon if the exit to Undertaker is being used. There is also a golden key in Undertaker that will let one get into the Secret Dungeon. Entring Undertaker from the Secret Dungeon, one doesn't need the Caddellite Helmet. But, if one leaves Undertaker through it's normal exit, the helmet is required to get back in.
Exiting to Buccaneer's Cave or Dungeon Sagatious, one can't get back.
The Boss Key meanwhile has no apparant use at all and probably is placed there in orde rto not get stuck in the connecting dungeons.
