Fable - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Fable - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

-Playing with Whisper
Meet her at the entrance to the Guild Woods to "play." By play I mean 
shoot bandits. All you have to do is stand on the opposite side of the 
stream and either fire arrows or lightning at them. Once they're all 
dead, head back to the Guild.

Before you take your final test and graduate, there are a few small 
tasks you can perform in the Guild.

-Red Apple Pie
The cook inside the Guild needs four more Cooking Apples for her pie. 
Go out to the east side of the Guild and look around the area near the 
entrance to the Guild Woods to find Apples. Pick them up off the ground 
and bring them back to her. She'll reward you with a Blueberry Pie.

-Race to the Demon Door
Find the two apprentices arguing about their racing times in the garden 
near the entrance to the Guild. Accept the challenge of getting to the 
Demon Door and back within 50 seconds and take off running (hold B). 
The Demon Door is across the stepping-stone bridge on the other side of 
the small island where you did the Will training. If you get there and 
back in time, you'll be rewarded with 25 Gold.

-Sparrow Shooting
Out on the stone path near the Heroes' Guild is another black-robed 
apprentice who asks you to kill the sparrows with your bow. You'll get 
5 Gold and +1 Renown for each you kill. But killing each sparrow also 
gives you a +5 towards evil. The sparrows are also sometimes hard to 
find, so that's why I never went and shot them all.

-Battle with Maze
This is your final test before graduating from the Heroes' Guild. Talk 
to the Guild Master and meet Maze in the Guild Woods. He will not 
attack you, but he will order you to attack him using different forms 
and will teleport around. It's an easy test.

After that you will have graduated from the Heroes' Guild. When you 
leave you'll be given a Guild Seal, two Resurrection Phials, two Health 
Potions, a Mana Potion, an Apple Pie, and a Lamp. Then, you're off on 
your own.

-Demon Door #1
Location: Heroes' Guild
Method: Use your Lamp in front of it
Reward: Elixir of Life, Howl Tattoo, various books
Return to the Demon Door south of the small magic testing island in the 
Heroes' Guild. Use your Lamp in front of it to gain access to the 
Library Arcanum. Inside you'll find an Elixir of Life (it doubles your 
health bar), a Howl Tattoo, and several books in the bookcases.

Also near the main junction are a bully and a beggar. The beggar say 
was he a hero once like you, but the bully insists he is worthless and 
deserves no help.
•Good: Unfortunately, slapping the bully around isn't going to help. 
You'll need to fart near him to get him to leave.

ridicule, and then proceed to beat them both.

-Mandatory Quest #4 - The Wasp Menace
Location: Picnic Area
Reward: 500 Gold, 200 Renown, Wasp Queen's Head Trophy
Return to the Map Room at the Heroes' Guild to accept this quest. Then 
head to the Picnic Area and take out the standard Wasps with your melee 
weapon. Once the Queen Wasp appears, attack her with spells or your 
ranged weapon. After she is dead, go around to the tables and collect 
any items you find, such as a Standard Beard Card and a Health Potion. 
After completing this, the maze's Information Quest will become 
available.

Once you have gotten the Fishing Rod from Fisher Creek, come back here 
and fish the Ages of Skill potion out of the ripples in small pond in 
this area.

-Orchard Farm Escort Side Quest
Location: Lookout Point/Orchard Farm
Reward: 500 Gold
After you have completed the Protect/Attack Orchard Farm Quest, head to 
Lookout Point to find a wandering trader (marked on your map with a 
green dot). Talk to him and he will ask you to escort him to Orchard 
Farm. If you decide to do so, he'll pay you 125 Gold upfront and the 
other 375 when you reach the farm. Then he just follows you on your 
way. If you can get him to the farm without him taking any damage he 
may throw in an extra reward. Once you reach the farm you can follow 
him into the farmhouse to grab a few items, since it'll be your only 
chance to get inside. You can also repeat this quest as many times as 
you like.

Bowerstone South
----------------
This is the first official town you'll visit upon graduation from the 
Heroes' Guild. There are quite a few shops, and the next story-driven 
quest you need to complete here is almost not a quest at all 
considering how simple it is.

-Mandatory Quest #5 - Maze's Information
Location: Outside the Tavern at Bowerstone South
Reward: ---
Simply talk to Maze outside the Tavern to hear his information and be 
sent back to the Heroes' Guild.

Of course you don't have to go back right away. There are plenty of 
other things to do while in Bowerstone South

Talk to the man always seated at the table near the door to play this 
easy mini-game. All you need to do is flip over the cards and make a 
pair. You can also earn quick money by betting 1000 Gold each time. If 
you can beat the game in less than 35 seconds, you'll be rewarded with 
a Briar Rose Hero Doll. A young boy should then come up to you and tell 
you to collect the other five dolls as part of a side quest.

-Bowerstone Tavern Cellar
Behind the Tavern you will find stairs leading down to the cellar. But 
thy will always be locked during the day. Wait until the statue at 
Lookout Point points toward Bowerstone (around midnight) to try to open 
the doors, which will now be unlocked.

There's really not all that much here, just a chest with a Leather 
Chest Piece. The fact that that's all there is makes you wonder why 
they put in the whole time-sensitive thing.

-Bowerstone South Blacksmith
Located outside the tavern is the outdoor blacksmith shop.

Of course, feel free to walk into any house and steal things while no-
one is looking. You can find Gold, Hairstyle and Tattoo Cards, as well 
as a full Dark Villager outfit in the house east of the house across 
from the Barber Shop.

Bowerstone Quay
---------------
There's not a lot to do in this small area, but you can fish off the 
docks once you have a Fishing Rod.

-Beardy Baldy Side Quest
Location: Bowerstone South Quay
Reward: Fire Monkey Tattoo Card
Talk to the man sitting on the bench to learn about his picky daughter. 
He wants to introduce you to her, but first you'll have to get your 
hair cut in the style shown on the card he gives you (usually the 
Pudding Basin). Go to the Barbershop (indicated on your map as the red 
building) and get the hairstyle. Return to the man to receive the 
Mutton Chop Beard Card and after that the Trader Style Moustache Card. 
When you talk to him a final time after getting all the styles, he'll 
tell you that he actually has no daughter and only wanted to make you 
look foolish. He'll then give you the Fire Monkey Tattoo Card and run 
away. Which is good, because I was about to start beating him.

A variation to this quest involves you talking to him for the first 
time with your hair already cut in the Pudding Basin style. Since he 
can't give you the same Hairstyle Card, he'll give you the Warrior 
Stripe instead.

-Fist Fighters Gang: Round 1
Location: Bowerstone South Quay
Reward: 350 Gold, 50 Renown, Fist Fight Level 1 Passed
During the night, head to the small ring at the Quay. If it's the right 
time, you should find a group of men beating the hell out of each other 
there. Find the leader (the big guy with the tattoo's and spiked hair) 
and pay him 50 Gold to enter. There are four rounds of combat total, 
but the first three are very easy. The fourth round pits you against 
the leader himself, but he isn't much more difficult than the other 
fighters. Just either block their attacks or sidestep them before 
hammering away on them with a combo or Flourish attack.

Greatwood Entrance
------------------
After accepting the next quest, you'll travel through this area to get 
to Orchard Farm. There are a few wandering traders, barbers, and 
tattooists as well as a few other places to go from the Greatwood 
Entrance. Also be on the lookout for bandits and wasps that will attack 
you and any wanders in the area.

Before you head off on the quest, there are a few items to be found in 
the Greatwood Entrance. At the dead-end near the entrance to Orchard 
Farm in the south you can find Health Potions, a Will Potion, and a 
Will Master's Elixir.

There is also a hidden chest on Greatwood. As soon you enter from 
Lookout Point you should notice a path on your left. Go down that path, 
and at around 12:00 noon you should see a chest sitting on a patch of 
dirt. Any other time during the day the chest is not there.

Fisher Creek
------------
The northwest path in Greatwood Entrance leads to this small area. As 
soon as you walk through into Fisher Creek, you will be attacked by a 
swarm of wasps. Destroy them all to be given a Fishing Rod by the man 
who owns the house here.

-Fishing Lessons Side Quest
Location: Fisher Creek
Reward: Golden Fish Trophy
Once you are given the Rod, the man will teach you how to use it. To 
complete this simple side quest, all you have to do is repeatedly fish 
off the pier next to the man's house until you pull up the Golden Fish 
Trophy.

After you have done that, the chest behind his house holds some Leather 
Gauntlets. Also, if you fish from near the chest you can get 100 Gold, 
a Moonfish, a Working Moustache Card, and a Silver Key.

-Silver Key #3
Location: Fisher Creek
Method: Fish at the ripples in the water
The ripples in bodies of water indicate that special items can be 
fished out from there. Repeatedly use your Fishing Rod at the ripples 
here until you pull up the third Silver Key, among other items.

Orchard Farm
------------
Head all the way south from Greatwood Entrance to find this area.

-Mandatory Quest #6 - Protect/Attack Orchard Farm
Location: Orchard Farm
Reward: 900 Gold, 400 Renown (Protect)/1000 Gold, 400 Renown (Attack), 
Whisper's Brooch

    Method: Ensure no bandits are killed
    Wager: 100
    Reward: 275

Taking either route through this quest will affect your alignment.

•Attack Orchard Farm
If you chose to attack the farm, you can head straight to it from 
Greatwood Entrance. Just lead the bandits towards the barn, killing any 
guards in the way. You can also protect the bandits if you boasted that 
none would die. Once they begin to collect the crates, give them cover 
as waves of guards will return. Once all the crates have been stolen, a 
duel with Whisper will commence. Defeat her using blocks and Flourishes 
to gain Whisper's Brooch.

•Protect Orchard Farm
From Greatwood Entrance, players who choose to protect the farm must 
head west to the Greatwood Lake area (more on that later). Once there, 
take the east entrance to find another way into Orchard Farm. Once 
inside the farm, hunt down all the bandits while simultaneously 
watching out for your fellow guards (if you boasted that none would get 
killed). If any bandit should pick up a crate, kill him. Once all 
bandits have been defeated, Whisper will challenge you to a duel. If 
you defeat her by blocking her attacks and scoring hits by dodging 
behind her or with Flourishes, you will receive Whisper's Brooch.

Once that quest is out of the way, you can search the farm for some 
items. Behind the barn is a chest containing a Jet. The other chest, 
the one among the trees, holds Treasure Clue #5. You will need that for 
the Hidden Booty Hunt Quest, which will take you the rest of the game 
to finish. Out in front of the farmhouse is a very small pond where you 
can fish an Elixir of Life. You can also fish a Coron Visor Tattoo Card 
and a Silver Key from the two ripples in the water to the east of the 
farm.

-Silver Key #6
Location: Orchard Farm
Method: Fish at the ripples in the water
The ripples in bodies of water indicate that special items can be 
fished out from there. Repeatedly use your Fishing Rod at the two 
ripples here until you pull up the sixth Silver Key or a Coron Visor 
tattoo Card.

-Orchard Farm Escort Side Quest
Location: Lookout Point/Orchard Farm
Reward: 500 Gold
After you have completed the Protect/Attack Orchard Farm Quest, head to 
Lookout Point to find a wandering trader (marked on your map with a 
green dot). Talk to him and he will ask you to escort him to Orchard 
Farm. If you decide to do so, he'll pay you 125 Gold upfront and the 
other 375 when you reach the farm. Then he just follows you on your 
way. If you can get him to the farm without him taking any damage he 
may throw in an extra reward. Once you reach the farm you can follow 
him into the farmhouse to grab a few items, since it'll be your only 
chance to get inside. You can also repeat this quest as many times as 
you like.

-Hobbe Killing Contest Side Quest
Location: Orchard Farm
Reward: 900 Gold, 200 Renown, Hobbe's Tooth Trophy
Available Boasts:

1. No Protection
   Method: Do the quest naked
   Wager: 200
   Reward: 400
2. Without a Scratch
   Method: Take no damage
   Wager: 100
   Reward: 600
3. Fist Fighter
   Method: Use no weapons or offensive magic
   Wager: 100
   Reward: 800
4. Humble Whisper
   Method: Kill 10 or more Hobbes than Whisper
   Wager: 150
   Reward: 500

Return to the Heroes' Guild after completing the Protect/Attack Orchard 
Farm Quest to take this optional one. In it, you will be competing 
against Whisper to see who can defeat the most Hobbes, which are 
attacking the farm. Try to stay near Whisper to keep an eye on the 
damage she's dealing out. If it looks like she may be finishing a Hobbe 
off, run in and take him out to steal her kill. If you can both destroy 
all the Hobbes you will receive the Hobbe's Tooth Trophy, but if 
Whisper defeats more Hobbes than you, you will have failed the quest 
and will have to redo it.

Greatwood Lake
--------------
This area to the southwest of Greatwood Entrance holds a few items and 
your path to the rest of Albion.

As soon as you enter, if you head along to the broken bridge at the 
north of the area you'll find the fifth Silver Key. You can also fire 
arrows at the many bandits in this area from that point. The first 
small island you come on in the center of the area holds the first 
Silver Key Chest. Inside is an Elixir of Life. This island is also 
where you'll always be attacked by an Earth Troll. This area and 
Greatwood Caves are areas early on in the game where you can count on 
an Earth Troll popping up. Also, there is a Health Potion behind the 
boulder in the southern part of the area.

-Silver Key #5
Location: Greatwood Lake
Method: Grab from end of broken bridge
At the very north of the area is a broken bridge. Walk up it to grab 
the Silver Key at the end.

-Silver Key Chest #1
Location: Greatwood Lake
Requirement: 5 Silver Keys
Reward: Elixir of Life

Greatwood Gorge
---------------
This are is beyond the southwest boundaries of Greatwood Lake. As soon 
as you enter it for the first time, you are given a quest.

-Bandit Toll Side Quest
Location: Greatwood Gorge
Reward: 200 Gold, 150 Renown
Basically the bandits have taken over the gorge and demand a toll for 
people to cross. You can either pay them or run through the gorge, 
killing them all. Keep in mind that if you kill their leader (he'll be 
the biggest guy you'll find) the rest will scatter. At the north end 
you can find 500 Gold, a Flame Augmentation, a Steel Pickhammer, and 
some potions.

-Demon Door #2
Location: Greatwood Gorge
Method: Have a completely evil alignment bar/do evil deeds
Reward: Wellow's Pickhammer
Find this Demon Door near the entrance to the Greatwood Cullis Gate. If 
you are completely evil by the time you talk to it, it will open. 
Otherwise you'll have to perform evil deeds in front of it. Some good 
evil deeds to do are eating around ten Crunchy Chicks or getting four 
people to follow you to the door and then murdering them in front of 
it. Inside you'll find the Arboretum and a chest containing Wellow's 
Pickhammer.

Greatwood Cullis Gate
---------------------
Finding this Cullis Gate will allow you to warp to this area in the 
future, to save time while traveling. I don't usually use them, because 
I like to walk between areas because it gives me a chance to enjoy all 
the environments in the game.

There is a Moonfish available for fishing in the pond in this area, 
near the two branching paths. The west path leads to the Rose Cottage, 
and the east leads to Greatwood Caves. Each path has a quest tied in 
with them, and I'll cover the Rose Cottage quest first since it 
involves going to the same area as the Greatwood Caves.

Rose Cottage
------------
The only building of interest in this area is the cottage itself. Other 
than that, there is a Silver Key buried in the patch of dirt lined by 
roses outside the cottage and a chest containing 500 Gold behind some 
bushes that you can hack down.

-Silver Key #7
Location: Rose Cottage
Method: Dig out of ground
Outside of the cottage, find the rose-lined patch of dirt. Stand in the 
center and use your Spade to dig up the Silver Key

-Demon Door #2
Location: Rose Cottage
Method: Give the door a gift
Reward: Bright Will User's Outfit
All you need to do is give this door a gift, like Chocolates or a Red 
Rose. Once you do that you'll be allowed into the Secret Haven, where 
you can retrieve your full Bright Will User's Outfit from the chest 
inside.

Note that, if you have accepted the Hobbe Cave Side Quest from the 
Heroes' Guild, it will automatically start when you head into this 
section (more on that in the Hobbe Cave Section).

Greatwood Caves
---------------
This small area has two passages, one to Darkwood, and the other to the 
Hobbe Caves. Both of these are important parts of quests.

-Demon Door #3
Location: Greatwood Caves
Method: Have a Combat Multiplier above 14
Reward: Cutlass Bluetane
If you reached this point early on in the game like I did, it may be 
hard to get a high enough multiplier. In order to do it, you NEED the 
Physical Shield spell. Don't try to be a bad-ass and do it without it 
because you're only going to waste your time and get pissed off. What I 
did was sprint back and forth between the Greatwood Caves and the Hobbe 
Caves, killing everything in sight. The Physical Shield spell made sure 
I didn't lose any Combat Multipliers when I got hit, which happened a 
lot because I ran right into the center of a group of them and starting 
slashing all of them. The main problem with this technique is that 
during the (frequent and heinous) load times, your Combat Multiplier 
decreases. This pissed me off to no end. It didn't seem fair at all. To 
raise the Multiplier, you need to be controlling your character and 
killing things. How can you do that when the game pauses the action so 
it can load the next area? It really doesn't seem fair at all. But you 
can still do it, as long as you're quick enough with the kills and 
running. You'll need a Multiplier of at least 20 or higher to even last 
you the run back to the Demon Door, at which point it might just barely 
be at 14 when you reach it. If you can do it, though, I think the prize 
is worth it. I got maybe around 690 kills with the Bluetane, just 
because it's so cool looking.

There are no items to pick up here, but you will be attacked by an 
Earth Troll, so that's always a chance to get a potion or Ruby.

Hobbe Caves
-----------
Fable doesn't really have any dungeons like other RPG's. The Hobbe 
Caves will show you the extent of Fable dungeons, basically.

This quest really starts as soon as you enter the Rose Cottage area. 
The grandmother there will have given you a Hexagon Key. Then back into 
the Hobbe Cave area and get ready for the onslaught. In this area of 
the game, the enemies will continue to spawn each time you leave the 
area.

Cave Entrance
-------------
There's a whole bunch in this first part. There aren't many items to 
get, except for the ones dropped by the Hobbes. Using a spell like 
Enflame or Force Push is useful her because they will surround you at 
every chance they get.
