Introduction : Hey, all. I decided to write a walkthrough for Fable, after I
tried a walkthrough for Morrowind, my fave Xbox game, and then I realized it was
way too big to do so. =P So, Fable's a fun game, so here's a walkthrough. Scroll
on down to Section Zero for the info on reading this FAQ, basic controls of
Fable, and contact info.
In the future, expect...
More Side Quest updates and tips
More stuff in Miscellaneous section, complete the Demon Door, locked chest
Silver Key etc. charts
Near-completion of the Item Directory, the big after-project
More general tips.
Clothing section completed. Ugh.
:-- History --:
9/1/2006 - First update in half a month. More item directory updates, mostly in
Style Cards section. Available for usage on SuperCheats.com. So yeah, it's not
dead or anything.
8/15/2006 - Section Zero sorta finished overnight. Large Item Directory update.
Realized that I misspelled "shirt" as something...worse, so that's fixed. XD
8/14/2006 - First version up on GameFAQs, approved for usage on Neoseeker.com.
8/11/2006 - Work on Item Directory officially started.
8/9/2006 - Finished first version of main story quests, lots of bonuses added
in.
8/2/2006 - Started, starting work on first week of stuff adding. First
playthrough as good warrior, so in future updates expect more details on evil
quests, more options as a mage and archer.
Of course, this is not all complete yet, so just keep this in mind if you see
some quests that I haven't put anything much on it yet.

Welcome! You probably read the introduction at the front, if not, please do.
: Controls + Basics :
If your game didn't come with an instruction manual, if you're renting, or if
you just don't like to read, you might not know the controls. So...
Left Trigger - Target Lock-on : Hold this down to get a target on your enemy.
Use the right trigger with it to change targets.
Right Trigger - Hold for Magic/Collect Experience Orbs : After defeating an
enemy, you'll get experience orbs. Hold down on the right trigger to bring
them closer to you. Also, the more popular usage is for magic - hold down on
this and press the corresponding button for the spell (A,X,B).
Left Thumbstick - Movement or Zoom Bow : Obviously, this moves you. Clicking
down on the thumbstick while having a bow equipped will send you into the
"sniper" mode, and lets you zoom in a fair bit to hit your target better.
Back - Inventory : View your inventory, where you can change your clothes,
weapons, usepotions, all that good stuff.
Start - Pause Screen : Save, load, adjust options, quit. You know.
D-Pad - Items & Expressions : Pressing up will give you the Quick Menu, a
sort of stripped-down version of your Inventory. Pressing down (once you've
graduated from the Guild) will let you use your Guild Seal to teleport (or
when an item or door is highlighted, it will let you use your Stealth
expressions). The right and left are slightly randomized, the game will put
whatever you most need there at the moment - usually Health and Will potions.
Right Thumbstick - Camera/Expand Map : Moving the right stick around will
adjust your camera view, and clicking on it lets you see a larger version of
your map in the upper right corner.
X - Attack : Exactly what it sounds like. The X button is your attack button.
Y - Block : Again, exactly what it sounds like. Use the Y to block punches/
attacks, and use Y in combination with the Left Thumbstick to dodge.
B - Run/Flourish : Holding down B while moving lets you run. Pressing B when
you have the crossed burning swords icon in the lower left corner will let
you use an unblockable Flourish attack, which may send your opponent to the
floor, depending on their strength and size and all that.
A - Interact : Use this to talk to people, open doors, take items, pretty
much all the important stuff.
White - Arm/Sheathe Melee Weapon : Bring out your axe, sword, whatever.
Black - Arm/Sheathe Ranged Weapon : Bring out your bow.
As for on-screen graphics, in the upper left corner is your Health, Mana,
how many Resurrection Phials you have (inside the heart), and if applicable,
your Combat Multiplier. Your Combat Multiplier (CM) is at its most basic,
how good you've been doing - more consecutive hits for more damage = better
CM. It's useful especially for when you have any Ages of "__" (Skill, Will,
Might) potions, as you get your CM X 1000 points of Experience in that
particular category. Now, for Experience (Exp), this odd thing? You pick up
Experience from any fallen enemies, sometimes from Ages Of potions, and it
is what you use to level your Hero up. Warrior? Archer? Mage? That's up to
you, and how you choose to spend your Exp. Using your Melee, you'll get
Strength Exp (red), using your Ranged, or trading, or stealing will get
Skill Exp (yellow), and using magic of any sort will get you Will Exp
(blue). This is all spendable at the Guild after your graduation. Now,
back to the on-screen graphics, in the lower left corner shows you what
actions currently pertain to the D-Pad positions. Same thing for the lower
right, for the buttons. Up in your top right, you've got the map. Very
useful indeed. Going to the Map in your inventory, you can see the key,
so I won't bother with that here. Also, you have the Awareness Eye. The
number on the AE tells you how many people can see you, and if it's red,
that means enemies can see you. A closed AE means no one can see you, and
a slightly open AE with a number means people are aware of you, but
it's safe to steal at the moment. And your clock, which is pretty linear -
the arrow points to the time of day or night it is.
: Guide to FAQ :
The Experience (Exp), Gold, and Renown levels after each quest is an average
based on what I've gotten in my multiple playthroughs required for this
walkthrough, not necessarily how much you will get. It's just so you know
abooouut what to expect afterwards. Augmentation slots per weapon = OPEN
Augmentation slots, not necessarily how many there ARE.
I'm trying to get all the info I can on the game by myself for this FAQ, so
if you see incomplete lists, etc. (like the Silver Keys), I just haven't done
it or recorded it yet in the game.
And one thing about it...the targeting system is just terrible. Besides
that, Fable's a great game to pick up and have some semi-RPG fun. Enjoy it!

:--1.0 -- Main Story Quests --:
:--1.1 -- Birthday Gift --:
Well, you started up a game. You'll get to know all the controls here pretty
quick, if not, go up to Section Zero. So, let's watch the intro, and now...aw,
you're sleeping. Anyway, your father informs you that today is your sister's
birthday, and she needs a present. Well, easy enough, eh? Perform three good
deeds to get gold from your father, and you can buy her a box of chocolates.
First person you'll see, probably, is a little girl who's lost her teddy bear.
So, to find the bear? Using your map, go to the easternmost green dot. Talk to
the little kid, and he'll tell you that the bully is harassing him. Punch the
bully, make him go away, and you'll get the bear back. Yay. Back to the girl,
and there's two good deeds in the bank. Next, go to the guy by the barrels in
the southernmost green dot, in the cul-de-sac area with three barns. He'll ask
you to watch over his boxes while he goes to the bathroom. Pretty soon into it,
an annoying little kid's going to try to talk you into smashing the barrels
while he's gone, which you can do - just make sure you're back in time for the
guy to give you credit for finishing - pay attention to the time bar. There's
another one you can do, if you want an extra gold piece in your pocket, or
messed up the second quest - talk to the woman outside of her house in the
center of town, and she'll tell you about her cheating husband. He's behind a
house on the west part of the map, with his mistress. Talk to him, and if you
want the good deed, don't take his bribe. If you take his bribe, you get a gold
piece, so, whatever. Either way, you can return back to the woman and tell her
about the affair. There's one more good deed. So by now, you might have four.
Either way, go talk to your dad, get your gold. Now go to the Trader in front
of the tavern, in the center of Oakvale, and buy a box of chocolates. Go to the
north of the map, and talk to your sister. She'll tell you about some odd
dreams. Give her the chocolates. Alright, we're all happy, right? Exit the
field...aw, crap. Bandits. Feel free to watch the movies and everything...Now,
make your way back to your house. Go up the hill, and over the covered
bridge...well...covered-in-flames bridge. Another big aw crap ahead. Your
father's dead. A bandit comes and is juuuust about to attack you when...he gets
owned by a guy with a glowing face. You'll learn that this is Maze, a guy
you'll love, and hate, later. But currently, you're off to the Guild of Heroes.
Your adventure is beginning.
:-:Gold: 1
:---Exp: none
:Renown: none
:-Other: Maybe a bear.
:--1.2 - The Heroes Guild Introduction -:
Time to begin your training. You get your first look at Whisper, who you'll
learn to hate pretty quickly. Head on down to the yellow quest marker. Punch
the dummy. The Guildmaster will then give you the one weapon to rule them all -
a stick. Beat that sucka down again. Run over the orb, then the Guildmaster
will give you the quest to kill some beetles with a stick. Whooooee!
:-:Gold: None
:---Exp: 1
:Renown: None
:-Other: A stick.
:--1.3 - Melee Combat Test -:
Pretty much a straightforward quest - head over to your right, the east, at the
pretty much omnipresent quest marker. Head around the circle path to the other
side, and hit beetles with a stick. Pretty easy. Kill them all, and come back
out of the woods. Talk to the Guildmaster, get some extra gold. Now it's time
to begin your apprentice training, maybe do a couple of side quests here.
:-:Gold: 70
:---Exp: 10
:Renown: 40
:-Other: None
:--1.4 - Guild Training -:
Wake up, and talk to the Guildmaster at the Combat Ring now. He'll give you
your first sword (yay), and give you some nice instructions - try and hit
Whisper. You can hit her once, then use Flourish a couple times, get some
Strength exp from Whisper's sorry face. Now, block her seven times - not hard,
just hold down Y. Now he wants you to combine them - still simple, just hit and
block her a couple times. Now for your Archery training - I like the method of
clicking down on the left thumbstick, then holding down X for a while, and
shooting the dummies in the back. Don't bother with hitting the first one,
that'll get you nowhere. It's easy to get scores of 400-450 in the Archery
tests by hitting them at key moments. Nothing really to walk through here, just
keep going. Now for Will. Wait for the Guildmaster to get over to the island,
and start using your willpower. Simple job here - hold down right trigger, and
then press X, then press left trigger to get a target on a dummy. To get the
most in the test, hold down both triggers and X, and storm through the dummies
once, then wait for them to turn back, then do it again...over and over, you
can get about 20 in half a minute. Not bad, eh? --BE SURE to do this-- Don't
advance on quite yet, do the three trainers in the skills - Melee, Archery, and
Will - and get some sweet rewards from them. Use my above tips. Another BE
SURE, is don't equip them yet or anything - sell them after you've completed
your training, because you'll need to use the weapons the Guildmaster gave you
to defeat Maze in your final test. Now go into the Guild Woods, if you want.
Not necessary to do this, but it's fun. Play with Whisper? Yay. Buuut those
darn Bandits are always crashing the party... I found it pretty easy to hide
behind a rock and pick 'em off with the bow. Now your final test awaits. Like I
said before, make sure you have the Yew Longbow and Iron Longsword the
Guildmaster gave you. It's easy enough to do - Go to the Guild Woods, hit Maze
seven times with your Longsword, hit him seven times with the bow, and hit him
with lightning for seven seconds. Come out of the woods. Congratulations,
you're a hero. Watch the little cutscene of the graduation, and you be done
with the training. Learn about the experience portal, and the map table.
:-:Gold: 22
:---Exp: 611
:Renown: 58
:-Other: Iron Katana, Yew Crossbow, Iron Longsword, Yew Longbow, Resurrection
Phial (3), Lamp, Health Potion (2), Will Potion (2), Apple Pie.
:--1.5 - Wasp Menace -:
Take the Wasp Menace quest card from the map. Head through the door, to Lookout
Point. Remember to follow the gold Quest Markers, as the Guildmaster tells you
about 50 times in the course of the game. Get to the Picnic Area (a guy'll run
with you, lead you to it) Kill all the wasps attacking the people, and the Wasp
Queen will appear. Use your bow (only magic if you're a good mage already - the
bow is far more efficent). Be sure to pick up some of the apples and pies
around the tables, to heal yourself if you are hurt. Going back to the Heroes
Guild, you'll meet one of another of the most anonying people - Briar Rose.
:-:Gold: 500
:---Exp: 887
:Renown: 274
:-Other: Wasp Queen's Head
:--1.6 - Maze's Information -:
This one's simple - Go to Bowerstone South (north from Lookout Point), to the
tavern, and talk to Maze, who's in front of the tavern. This is a great
oppurtunity to look around Bowerstone South, however. So get your hero pimp'd
out, and get some side quests from Bowerstone. Thunder's there, for your third
Hero sighting in 2 minutes.
:-:Gold: none
:---Exp: none
:Renown: none
:-Other: none
:--1.7 - Protect/Attack Orchard Farm -:
Go to the Heroes Guild, and take this quest card. Head on down through Lookout
Point, Greatwood Entrance, Greatwood Lake, and finally to the Orchard Farm.
Orchard Farm's a pretty cool place - there's a Treasure Clue, and a lot of
quests happen around here. Anyway, the object of this quest is to protect these
mysterious bricks - you can't let the bandits get away with them. The best bet
is to use a melee weapon or your magic, I found trying to pick off bandits with
the bow didn't work nearly as well. Still worked. But anyway, again. Just keep
three rounds of three bandits from running off with those bricks, and you've
got a nice 750 gold in your pack. Dig and fish around in Orchard Farm, you
never know what you'll find. Now Whisper will confront you. The easiest way to
defeat her (again...and again, it seems like) is to hit her a couple times with
your normal melee attack, and get the Flourish symbol. Then lay the hurt on
that annoying woman.
Also, for attacking Orchard Farm, go the same route and everything, just go
with your bandit cronies and hold the guards off for long enough for them to
run away with them. It's slightly harder, but there's more pay, if you're an
evil dude. And Whisper's hat is mysteriously missing.
:-:Gold: 750-1200
:---Exp: 2108
:Renown: 448
:-Other: Whisper's Brooch
:--1.8 - Trader Escort -:
Travel through Greatwood (it's one way except for Rose Cottage after you get to
Greatwood Gorge, don't worry about directions) to the Darkwood Entrance. Here
you'll meet two Traders, and they need escorted to Barrow Fields. This is your
first big adventure quest, so have fun. So, you've got some followers. You can
tell them to wait at various points in the journey, it's quite helpful. So, not
too far off from your start, you'll see this dude, who just got owned by a
Balverine. One of two outcomes; let him stay, nothing happens, you get some
evil points. Let him follow, you get some good points, but he does indeed turn
into a Balverine later. So it's your call. Next you go into the Darkwood
Marshes. If you want to do the Demon Door's challenge, make sure you have the
Traders following you wait a while away - trying to kill the Hobbes will
destroy your own guys far too easily. Now you'll come along these
mushroom-looking things, you'll see them later in the game as well. I don't
know the name of them, but they can be annoying, as you know if you stepped on
to one by accident already. Pick them off from afar with your bow or magic, and
continue on to the Darkwood Lake. Here's where it gets a bit challenging. You
might want to have the Traders wait up by the north gate while you pick off
Bandits. Get through to the Darkwood Camp, a nice place for your Trader buddies
and yourself to rest for a while and heal. When you're ready, continue on to
the Ancient Cullis Gate, kill more Bandits (and Hobbes at the end), and on to
the Darkwood Weir, where you are almost done. Of course, your buddy, the Trader
you picked up at the beginning, turns into a Balverine. Dispose of your former
buddy (what a shame...but you'll have to move on...it's okay to cry), and get
to to the end of the region, where you'll get your first look at what will be
an intimidating enemy at first...a troll. No, not the message board kind of
troll, but a big, ugly, green Earth troll. They're really quite easy to beat,
however. Get up close, hit him a couple of times with your weapon, then press Y
and roll back while it does a ground attack. Wash, rinse, and most importantly,
repeat. Continue on through the exit, and you and your friends are finally safe
and done. Don't be frustrated, it takes a while to get into a rhythm, and he
takes forever to kill as a low level character. But you are done with one of
the longest quests in the game - pat yourself on the back. And on a side note,
don't worry if one of your original Trader guys takes an unfortunate fall (at
least in the original - dunno if they fixed it in TLC), you can complete the
quest with one Trader.
:-:Gold: 3570
:---Exp: 1723
:Renown: 768
:-Other: Trader's Feather
:--1.9 - Maze's New Information -:
Continue through from the last quest, into Oakvale, from Barrow Fields. Hey,
this looks FAMILIAR. Yes, it's the same old Oakvale...well, it has a couple
additions on there, like the cemetary. And there's some side quests worth
checking out...and a couple of great shops. You can also buy your old home.
You'll see the girl who lost the teddy bear, and you'll be surrounded by
flaming houses...what a trip, eh? Well, go talk to Maze and do this. It's
pretty easy. Press A. >.>
He'll tell you about the Blind Seeress, who lives in Twinblade's Bandit Camp.
She could tell you about your sister, possibly. Twinblade is the King of
Bandits, a former Hero. Go back to the Guild when you want to take the quest,
but for now, I recommend checking out Oakvale.
:-:Gold: none
:---Exp: none
:Renown: none
:-Other: ...info?
:--1.10 - Find the Bandit Seeress -:
Start this quest by taking the Quest Card, then going to Oakvale. Head through
the west region exit from Oakvale, but before doing so, you may want to take
the Assassin Boots from the chest to the left of the Clifftop Path entrance.
They can help you get through the next region, which is quite difficult to get
through without knowing how. Watch the cutscene with the Guildmaster's tips on
how to get through. So, how to get in? Unless you're incredibly good at
sneaking already, kill all the Bandits here. Go behind the large rock to the
left and way in front of the entrance. Wait for all three Bandits to come out,
then when the third one starts to walk away, quickly sneak around the rock, and
make a run for the entrance. Next you'll come to the Abandoned Road. Here,
you'll have to collect the five pieces of Bandit Armor required to get into
Twinblade's Camp. It's not great armor, and makes you really unattractive, so
you probably won't have any other use for it after this. The little cutscene
will play, and then the Bandits will be after you. You will fight a LOT of
Bandits this level, but they're all pretty easy. Be sure to look in all of the
chests along the way for the five pieces of Bandit Armor and a Resurrection
Phial, then get through the region exit. Talk to the Bandit there when you're
wearing the Bandit suit, and then take it off and change back into whatever you
want. To get further, you'll need a Bandit Camp Pass - there are a couple ways
to do this. Talk to the Bandit by the bar to buy one for 1000 gold; beat the
tavern game Guess the Addition, use the Slow Time spell if necessary. Or, kill
either one of the two guys. If you're an evil dude, you can buy a full set of
Dark Plate, Chainmail, Leather, Villager, or Assassin armor here. Here you go
into Twinblade Elite's Camp. To get through this gate, no pass or outfit will
do - you need a distraction to get rid of the guards. You can do this one of
two ways - one, pay off the Assassins to create a distraction ; two, kill the
Bandit keeping the hostages under lock and key, and then free them. Either one
works, but the second one is easy and free. Now, once the gate is open, go to
Twinblade's Tent. Boss fight! To beat Twinblade, wait until he tries to hit you
and gets his blades stuck in the ground. Then, hit him from behind as many
times as possible, and dodge until he does it again. After you defeat him
temporarily, as you're about to kill him...OMGWTFBBQ it's your sister. So,
she's the Blind Seeress. Damn Twinblade cut her eyes out! Anyway, listen to her
stuff, and you can do one of two things. Well, first off, raid everything at
the camp. But then you can do one of two things - kill Twinblade (evil, and the
Bandits attack you), or leave him (good points). Congrats, you finished the
quest. Go rest up at the Guild (or the Bordello) and prepare for your next
quests.
:-:Gold: 7931
:---Exp: 16893
:Renown: 1502
:-Other: Bandit Seal
:--1.11 - Maze's Request -:
This one already has all the info you need - Meet Maze at the Guild. Some more
nice info from Maze here. He talks about the Arena, and he leaves a Quest Card
for you, about the Archaeologist. Now you get to go explore Witchwood, if you
wish to take this.
:--1.12 - Find the Archaeologist -:
Take the Cullis Gate to Witchwood, and head over to Witchwood Stones. Don't
worry bout finding the region, it's actually the only place you can go. Going
along to start off, you'll see (=O) a big ol' nasty rock troll. Using the
method I described in 1.8, it's quite easy to defeat and get Combat Multipliers
of 15 or more. Go over to the stones, and examine the letters on them. Hit them
in the order so that they spell "HITS". Now the Demon Door opens, and you can
talk to the Archaeologist, to finish this easy quest. The Archaeologist is
quite an ungrateful guy...but oh well. Raid the cavern. Also, if you want to be
playing by the rules, there's a guy at the Temple of Avo who will tell you
"HITS" if you give him a Ruby. On another note, if you spell the...ahem...other
word, two Balverines will come and attack you.
:-:Gold: 1200
:---Exp: 1440
:Renown: 113
:-Other: none
:--1.13 - White Balverine -:
Unlucky number 13, eh? Well, now you get to visit the wonderful town of
Knothole Glade, and get introduced to the annoying as hell Balverines formally.
Go back to the Witchwood Cullis Gate, and fight your way through the forest, or
check out the Temple of Avo...it doesn't matter what you do for now, just get
to Knothole Glade eventually. So the first thing you'll be confronted with is
the Balverines outside of the town gates - they're attacking the villagers
trying to get inside. Your bow is surprisingly useful against Balverines - keep
them at a distance and there's nothing they can do. Finish off 3 of them, and
watch the cutscene, where the Chief tells you about what's up. Go hit the White
Balverine (marked by gold quest marker) 10 times with weapons or magic, and let
it run off. The Chief tells you some more, and tells you about his wife, who
lives at the top of the hill. Go all the way to the southern part of Knothole
Glade, around the tree and rocks in the center, and the Balverine will appear
again. Hit it 10 MORE times, and watch it run off...again...then a cutscene of
the wife coming out of the house plays. You learn that it used to be her
husband, and then he turned into the Balverine. Since he's now pretty much
dead...might as well kill him. Use the silver augmentation the wife gives you,
and use that weapon against the White Balverine. Hit him five more times, and
NOW you finally get to go attack him. Go over to Witchwood Lake, and kill the
White Balverine. Again, ranged weapons are useful for against JUST the White
Balverine, but when he calls his friends to help him, use your melee/magic, and
be sure to use the Block/Dodge manuevers to keep from using up all of your
health potions. And of course, use your silver-augmented weapon. Divine
Fury/Infernal Wrath is a great spell to have, if you have TLC. Return back to
Knothole Glade, talk to the Chief, and you're done. Ah, and you get a letter
from your sister, and a nomination for the Arena. Hey, not bad? But for now,
look at Knothole Glade. Check the place out, it's got some cool stuff, a Demon
Door, all that.

:--1.14 - The Arena -:
So, pick up the nomination at the Guild. Head up to the Witchwood Lake, and go
north to the Arena. Go into the Arena Preparation Area, with the best merchant
in the game. Save your money until now, then stock up as much as possible.
Watch the cutscene with Roth, the rules of the Arena and everything. Stock up
on potions, so you don't have to take a break and come back for some later. You
can play blackjack...Now you can wait around for a few minutes, until a guard
comes and gives Roth some bad news. Chameleon, the last fighter, is dead, and
you're up next. Talk to the guard at the gate, it's time to start fighting. I
can't help you much here, as there's really not that many tricks - Whisper
comes in after two rounds, use her to distract creatures, Bandits, Undead as
you pick them off with bow or Magic. As I said before, Divine Fury or Infernal
Wrath are great spells, use them. The best way to destroy the trolls is have
Whisper distract one, and you beat up on the other from behind. As for the
Arachanox, a good way is to just run, and let it charge blindly at Whisper or
yourself, then when it does the big glowy thingy where it puts its tail in the
ground, run up and attack it, or use bow and magic again, of course.(Sorry,
couldn't think of a better description, glowy thingy xD) In the end, you can
kill Whisper, and get a money bonus and take all the gold yourself, or just end
it and walk out. Afterwards, you'll see Lady Elvira Grey, the Mayorof
Bowerstone. She's...evil. And you also get to meet Jack of Blades for the first
time. There's a few things you can do with her later in side quests, but we'll
get to that further on. Have fun in the Arena. Oh, and learn to love Undead.
Easiest kills ever. So here's a little cheat sheet...
Four rounds of Wasps for 100 gold
Four rounds of Hobbes for 500 gold
Three rounds of Balverines for 1000 gold
Three rounds of Undead for 2000 gold
Three rounds of Bandits for 3000 gold
One round of two Earth Trolls for 4000 gold
One round of two Stone Trolls for 8000 gold
Defeat the Arachanox for 10000 gold
Phew.
Nooow you have to defeat Whisper, I forgot to mention that above. If you want
to kill her, get the prize offered by Jack of Blades...or if you don't, just
leave her, get some serious good points. Be sure to use Flourish, or a surround
spell. Whisper is supremely annoying to fight.

:--1.15 - Finding Theresa Again -:
After the Arena, a cutscene appears, with a Bandit informing you Theresa wants
to meet you at the Grey House. This is easy enough to find, of course - it's
the eastern exit from Barrow Fields. Grey House is a great place for
experience, as it's absolutely packed with Undead. When you enter the region,
Theresa will tell you just how much of a jerk Jack is. Your mother is in
Bargate Prison, and the Archaeologist knows how to get there. Looks like you're
going to have to find him AGAIN, to get your mother back. Go back to the Guild
and pick up the Quest Card when you're ready. Raid the Grey House, and kill
some Undead.
:--1.16 - Rescue the Archaeologist -:
I wouldn't recommend doing this right after the Arena - Finish some side quests
first, this one's quite challenging. You have to fight Minions, and it's
actually timed towards the end. But once you're ready, go to Bowerstone North,
and exit out the northwesternmost region gate to Bowerstone Jail. Here you'll
meet the first two Guards, and your first few Minions. Say it with me
sarcastically everyone : Yay. They really aren't that hard to kill, but you'll
see a LOT of them from this point on. You really don't have to fight them, you
can run on through, but maybe you want some extra experience or something. So
fight your way through them up to Windmill Hill, where you'll catch another
Guard to follow you. You'll see the cutscene with the Minion placing a barrier
so you can't quite get to the next region yet, you've got to kill it first.
It's hiding in the windmill. After you've completed that, move on to the Gibbet
Woods. Here, we find a big ol' nasty rock troll, and some more barriers. You
can get two more Guards to follow you and distract Minions here as well. Now
move on to the Prison Path, where you have five minutes to kill all the Minions
here, to save the Archaeologist. It's not too hard, it just seems hectic when
you get down to the docks, and there's five million of the losers. What I like
to do is go all the way down to where the boat is, then wait for all the
Minions to come charging, then use Divine Fury/Infernal Wrath. You can get
like, 10 at a time with that. There's a lot of 'em to fight though. Be patient.
When you get down by the Archeologist, some more will spring up. So make sure
that you've killed them all. Then the Archaeologist cutscene plays, and he
tells you a little about the ancient route to Bargate Prison through Lychfield
Graveyard. Look to the north from the dock, and you can see Bargate Prison.

:--1.17 - The Graveyard Path -:
Head on up to Lychfield Graveyard. Quite a gloomy place, wouldn't you say?
Don't be turned off by the promise of only 1500 gold, this is just about the
best quest in the game experience-wise. This, the Hobbe Cave quest, and a
couple of well-timed Ages of "-" potions will get you leveled up in no time.
The people in front of the gate are quite disappointed about not getting in to
see their loved ones, but they don't matter. Go over to the Gravekeeper's
house, and you'll overhear him talking with a guy, and you learn there's some
armor stashed all over the Graveyard. Take Nostro's Helmet from behind the
Gravekeeper, on the shelf behind him. So if you didn't piece the stuff
together, here's what you're doing ; go through the Graveyard, and find
Nostro's Grave. Don't worry, it's marked by a gold quest marker on yer map. The
Undead start to rise once you come inside the gates, this is awesome. Just
stand there and kill waves after waves of Undead, and you'll have enough
expierence to max out half of your stats after a while. Exaggeration, but
still. Great stuff. It doesn't matter if the Gravekeeper dies, he's not
important anymore. Go down into Nostro's grave, and he tells you to find his
four artifacts - his helmet, armor, shield, and sword. They're all marked by
green dots on the map, but here's slightly more detailed locations.
1 - Helmet - Gravekeeper's house.
2 - Armour - Lady Fylom's crypt, east and slightly north of Nostro's grave.
3 - Shield - Fish outside of the Dark Duke Sibelis' crypt, to the southeast of
Lady Fylom's crypt.
4 - Sword - Dig where the glowing green stuff is, in Yaggath Sonnog's grave.
You can find a Spade outside the Gravekeeper's house, and a Fishing Rod inside
a chest oustide of Nostro's grave, through the vines. Once you find all four,
go back to Nostro, and he tells you the path is open. The cutscene will take
you over to the Demon Door, who will now open for you. Now you're in the Old
Graveyard Path, with yet more Undead, and I mean MORE Undead. You can never
kill all the Undead here, the lesser ones respawn indefinitely. In short, this
is frickin' schweet, since Undead are weak to just about everything. When you
get to the end, kill the large Undead in front of the door, and it will be
opened. for you to go through, and all the Undead are gone from this region (so
be sure to get all yer killing done first). Go through to the Circle of the
Dead, and stand in the middle of the circle, in the green. The first round of
Undead will come after you. What's tricky about these guys is when they're not
in the actual circle, they're invisible and impossible to hit. So just wait for
them to come after you, and hack/slash 'em up. Now three larger Undead will
come after you, do the same thing. You don't have to worry about the
invisibility factor much here. After they're dead, the secret entrance to
Bargate Prison will be revealed. This quest is done, if you wish, you can now
go do other stuff before returning here, since the prison esacpe is going to
take you a long time, both in game time and your time. I'd suggest at least
going back to the Guild to level up.

:--1.18 - Rescue Scarlet Robe/Prison Escape  -:
So, since your mom is in prison (bummer), it's time for you to save her. This
is a looong quest, especially in Fable terms. So once you're ready, go from the
Circle of the Dead, into the small crypt with the door. You'll find yourself in
the Underground Chamber, which is home to a boss fight later. For now, there's
nothing to do, run through to the next region. In this Underground Tunnel,
you'll find some Undead, including in the center circle where you'll have to
kill five or six to move through the barrier. Continue on towards the gold
quest marker, or go down the other side tunnel for some stuff. Watch out for
the spores, but by this point, they shouldn't be doing much damage to you. Now
you're on Cliffside Path, where there are tons more undead for you to kill.
Another circle with a barrier, and more Undead to kill, and now you're in the
Underground Passage. Here you'll fight Bargate Prison Guards, quite a bit
harder than the Guards you've seen before. Again, go through the gold Quest
marker, and you find yourself in the Torture Chamber. Hey, it's your mom! This
quest is almost over, yay! Pull the lever to the right of the door, and your
mother starts following you. Go back out the way you came, killing Guards in
the Underground Passage, and when you get down to that circle you're fre-oh,
crap. Jack of Blades decides to put the kibosh on this little party. So now
you're in a jail cell, and all you've got are your expressions and some
Resurrection Phials. No, you can't do anything. Listen to the guy in the cell
next to you for a while, then the Guard comes back. Now you're having a race.
Make sure to win, it's not very hard, just keep running, and you can also use
the shortcut, the wooden inside track. After you win, you'll be greeted by the
Warden. Poetry reading? Oh no...Now don't make the noise bar go all the way up,
be very careful about it. Stop and start a lot, and don't run (but be sure to
get over there and back quick enough). Make your way around the bookcase to the
bulletin board, and highlight the paper on it. Open one of the diaries on the
table back a ways behind the Warden, and check for the key. It doesn't matter
which one you choose, it won't be in there. Back to the cells. You're in jail
for a whole year again. Hey, you've grown some hair. Well now, it's the
Warden's birthday, and then it's back to the race. Win again, and repeat the
diary trick. The second time's a charm - you'll find the key to the cells. The
Guards'll say the stuff in the cutscene, no torture or anything today, bla bla.
Take the key and get out of your cell, and be sure to free the other guys.
You'll get some good points, and they serve as a nice diversion for the Guards.
Now head outside, and up the first flight of stairs that you went up in the
race. Outrun the Guards, and head into the door on your right, the Prison
Barracks. Loot the chests for a full suit of Guard Armor, then finally go to
the chest at the end for all of your stuff. Get back into your garb, and fight
the Guard that just appeared. Meet back up with your prison buddies in the
Courtyard, and head over to the Torture Chamber (marked by a gold Quest Marker,
as always), let your mom out, and head into the Underground Passage. Fight the
Guards, keep your mom alive, and get through back to the Cliffside Path. Fight
some Undead, and go to the Underground Tunnel again. Fight through Guards now,
and get out into the Underground Chamber. And now...boss fight! Keep an eye on
your mom's health as you fight the Kraken, heal her if needed. To defeat the
Kraken, move around the edges, and wait for one of the tentacles to get stuck
on the edge for a few seconds. You need to hit each tentacle (probably twice,
but it depends on your weapon and Physique) until they're all submerged, and
the head comes out. Beat up on the head until it gets about half-dead, then the
tentacles come back out. Repeat the last two steps, gather up the experience,
and get out of there. Now you've met your mom, so continue on with all this
stuff. You've got to find your sister, keep her safe from Jack, but for now,
get some experience leveling up and get some rest. Congratulations on finishing
up one of Fable's longest quests.

You will want to finish up some of your other quests before this, since this is

Gate again. The villagers are running from here with good reason, there's a
Screamer loose, and it doesn't die, it just keeps coming back. Ignore her, and
go up to the Abbey. Wait as the Guildmaster begins to recite the incantation.
The barrier comes down, and, oh that bastard, it's Maze trying to kill your
sister. Well, Maze is pretty difficult to beat. He's got a couple of nasty
spells, it's a good idea to use your bow on him when he's not using Physical
Shield. And as always, it's a good idea to use Infernal Wrath/Divine Fury.
Follow the gold Quest Marker to see where he is, and ignore the Screamers
again. Avoid the Enflame and Lightning spells of his, and try to make him use
his staff, it's a very weak attack. Now you're informed that Jack is activating
all the Focus Sites around Albion. Well, this part is done. Continuing on...

over to the Focus Site. See the Jack cutscene, and now you're in Orchard Farm.
Get over to the Greatwood Lake, and repeat getting over to the Focus Site.
Another cutscene, and you end up in the Hobbe Cave entrance. Get down to the
Focus Site there, teaming up with Thunder at the end, and anooother cutscene.
Really, is there a pattern? Now you're at Bowerstone Jail, and go over to the

Well, here it is. At least in the original Fable. So, the Guild is burning. Not
exactly great. There's a Resurrection Phial up the stairs, and two Health
Potions lying around. Use up your experience before heading into the Library.
The Guildmaster's dying. He sends you into the Chamber of Fate, to defeat Jack.
Go through the Guild Caves, there's an Oak Longbow if you need it, sitting
there. Into the Chamber of Fate now...and Jack kills your mom. Wonderful. So,
he's got the Sword of Aeons. Defeat all his Minions, then use one of a few
techniques to defeat him. For people favoring melee, the best thing to do is
hit him once with your normal attack, and then use Flourish to damage his
health. For mages and archers, use your spells on him, just watch out and don't
get hit. Now he goes into his second form, which is badass. Use ranged weapons
and spells from afar, avoiding his now very spiffy attacks, and the Minions.
Now you have a choice, depending on whether you are good or evil - cast the
Sword into the vortex, and spare your sister, or kill your sister and keep the
sword. In TLC the sword pretty much sucks compared to in the first one, so you
may just want to toss it on in. Yay! Yer done. But it's not over.

Guildmaster. He talks about the Demon Door, Fire Prophets, Summoners, the
Heart, and all that...So. Go to the Demon Door, and you will have to solve a
few puzzles to get the Heart. Inside, listen to the various prophets, and you
must turn all the tiles to the Sun to save them, or Moon to kill them. My
advice is to work from the inside out, or the outside in - get a pattern in
mind, figure out some tricks. Either way, get the Fire Heart, and come back out

Briar's downstairs, and tells you about - "what the hell?" Here's your first
look at a Summoner. The sword hits from Summoners are pretty painful, so be
sure to watch out for those. Summoners are fairly straightforward though, so
just keep hitting them with your attacks. You'll be joined by Minions, do your
best to ignore them and destroy the Summoners. Now that the Fire Heart is

Scythe greets you once you reach the Lost Bay dock. Well, sort of Scythe. A
hologram-type thing of Scythe. He tells you to meet him in Snowspire. You need
to find the Oracle once there. As for actually getting there, though...A little
ways up into the Lost Bay area, you'll run into an Ice Troll. Treat it like any
other troll, but it's a lot harder. Big nasty thing. Watch out for the attacks
where it beats on the ground. Head up into the Northern Foothills. Fight
through Minions, another Ice troll, and get through to Archon's Shrine. Once in
the center, Briar Rose greets you. She tells you pretty much nothing, so
continue on to Snowspire. So, now you're here. It's a pretty cool place.
Cutscene time! Here's where you finally really meet Scythe. You will need the
four Glyphs to awaken the Oracle. Check out Snowspire, and when you're done,
Cullis Gate down to The Lost Bay, or just walk down through Archon's Shrine.
Either way, get to the Northern Foothills, and go up to the northern end, to
the Necropolis. Upon entering, you'll get "greeted" by the guard. I can't help
much here, but hey. For each of the glyphs, dig in the spots highlighted by the
green dots, with the green glowiness over them. In some spots, there's tablets,
in some spots, there's not. Just look through them all, cause you can get some
