Ulthred

Fist Ulthred is a human Flaming Fist who can be encountered at Last Light Inn. Depending on players choices in both Act One and Act Two, he can help the party during the Assault on Moonrise Towers.

“

Hey. That's close enough. Artefact or no, I don't like the likes of you crashing our party.

Involvement

Act Two

Last Light Inn

Ulthred can be first encountered at the Last Light Inn's plaza, arriving to the sanctuary on a mission to rescue Grand Duke Ravengard. He chats with Essius next to the fountain, and is suspicious of the party at first, not trusting them the slightest to rescue the Grand Duke from Moonrise. On the other hand, Essius attempts to talk him down and get him to open up to the party's aid. Through his chats with Essius, Ulthred seems to not trust Jaheira and to be eager to move out rather than sit idly.

If Marcus is exposed as a True Soul, Ulthred will be  Surprised and join the fight against his summoned Crawling Claws.

Resolve the Abduction

When Marcus attacks the inn and attempts to kidnap Isobel during  Resolve the Abduction, Ulthred frequently is amongst the Fists who avoid being  Impaled, and runs up to fight with the Winged Horrors. If Isobel is not saved, he and everyone in Last Light Inn turn into a  Shadow-Cursed Undead, save for Jaheira. Ulthred in particular, can be seen agonizingly transforming into an undead.

Assault Moonrise Towers

If Isobel is saved at the Last Light Inn, and once the Nightsong is freed from her cage and heads for Moonrise; Ulthred, along with the Flaming Fists Helena, Nipawa and Rhed survives the first assault and assists the party in the remaining battle against Absolute forces.

After the battle, provided he survives, he and the remaining Flaming Fists scout the Moonrise Towers Prison and enter a second battle against Myrkulites Duckie Verish, Sarabayle, and Willinx Jindlebee, aswell as a Death Shepherd and several Necromites. The party can assist in this optional battle and the Fists, provided they win and survive, continue to guard the prison until Ketheric Thorm is defeated.

After Ketheric Thorm is killed and the party leaves for Act Three, Ulthred disappears from the game entirely.

Notes

• Unlike the other Fists (Helena, Nipawa, and Rhed) that partake in the assault on Moonrise Towers, Ulthred is level 6 rather than level 7.
• Aubree, Gretta, J'ehlar, Rahir, and Ulthred are the only remaining Flaming Fists that can actually be found at Last Light Inn after Florrick and her retinue leave for Baldur's Gate. Despite this, the former three all die in the assault on Moonrise, and are replaced by Helena, Nipawa, and Rhed, while Ulthred survives.
• Unlike Harper Antony, Essius, Lymn, and Naysa, Ulthred has no failsafe replacement Flaming Fist if he is killed before the assault.
  • There is a Flaming Fist by the name of "Fist Hadenwell" in the game files, referred to as "S_MOO_AssaultFlamingFist_004" not too unlike the other Fists that appear during the assault. It is possible that this Fist was originally conceived as a replacement, or failsafe in the event of an untimely demise for Ulthred.
