Ultima VI

How do I get the runestones in the mouseholes?
Use a mouse. In Lord British's Castle, you'll find a talking mouse, Sherry. Offer her some cheese and she'll join your party. Protect her, for if she dies, the healers cannot resurrect her. Use her to go through the mouseholes to find the rune.
How do I free the shrines?
You must have the appropriate rune for each shrine. The hard way: go to each shrine, fight off the Gargoyles, and use the rune on the glowing purple force field. This will dispel the field so you can grab the shrine. The easy way: use the Orb of the Moons to teleport to the shrine. Use the rune on the shrine, grab the moonstone, and teleport away. The gargoyles will then leave the shrine, and you can come back later when it's safe.
How do I go up in levels?
You must know the appropriate mantra for each shrine. Go to a shrine and talk to it. Tell it the mantra when it asks, and your level will go up, if you have enough experience. The stats that go up are based on the shrine you've meditated at, like so:

Virtue Dexterity Intelligence Strength
Compassion + 3    
Honesty   +3  
Valor     + 3
Justice + 1 + 1  
Sacrifice + 1   + 1
Honor   + 1 + 1
Spirituality + 1 + 1 + 1
Humility      
How do I get the Thieves Guild belt from Phoenix?
Buy the Pickpocket spell from Rudyom in Cove and cast it on her.
Where are the map pieces?
Search the shipwreck at 71S, 15E.

Give food to the pirate Ybarra on the fourth level of dungeon Shame.

There is a piece in dungeon Covetous/Wrong on the third level.

There is a piece on the fourth level of the Ant Mound in the Dry Lands.

The mayor of Trinsic, Lord Whitsaber, has a piece. Sandy, the cook in Trinsic, knows Whitsaber's true name and will tell you it if you go to Destard and get a dragon's egg from the fourth level. Tell Whitsaber his true name and promise to keep his secret and he'll give you his piece.

The mad pirate Bonn on Dagger Isle has a piece under the harpsichord in his basement.

Nathaniel Moorehead's widow, who lives just northwest of Empath Abby will tell you about the Gypsies who took her piece. Find Arturos the Gypsy, usually camped out near Trinsic, and offer to buy the piece for fifty gold.

Morchella, who lives east of Serpent's Hold, will give you her piece if you give her a shield from the Order of the Silver Serpent. Talk to Koranada in the Hold Proper to find out how to join and get a shield made.

Talk to Homer for the ninth piece after you have obtained the other eight.

Why won't the Shrine of Singularity let me pass?
You must first meditate at each of the eight human shrines.
How do I fix the Lenses?
Get the cracked Gargoyle lens from the Hall of Knowledge. Take it to the Gargish lens maker and ask him to repair it. Once it's fixed, take it to Ephemerides, who lives outside the Lycaeum. Say "lens", then "human". Give him a glass sword, and he'll make the human lens.
Why won't the Shrine of the Codex let me pass?
You must first meditate at the Shrine of Singularity. This triggers your Sacred Quest.
I buried a moonstone to create a moongate. How do I get it back?
Dig it up when the moons are both in the phase represented by the stone.
