I slaved over this bloody guide, I bled for it, I cried for it, I thought about giving up a thousand times, I didn't sleep, I let my school work suffer, I let my social life and work life go to hell, all for the goal of helping people. So, here is my legal statement. "Do what ever you want with my guide." If you can make money off of it, go for it, I can't so you're a better person than I am in that aspect. If you want to be cheesy and take credit for my work, go for it, the information I created in my guide is still serving its purpose, helping people. Besides, nobody cares who you, me or any other guide writter actually is anyway. Put it on any web site you wish, thrash it, edit it, do what ever, I do not care. I am not a guide writter normally, this is my first and most likely only guide I have and will ever write. ========================================================================= (ZZ) Contact ========================================================================= You can reach me at The_Evil_Smile@Hotmail.com Please put the subject "Fable Guide" With or without the " marks, if those 2 words, FABLE GUIDE are not in the subject, I can tell you, your e-mail will never get read. As with most other guides, if your question is answered in my guide, I will not be very kind to you. I will answer you because thats what I do; I help people, but I will make you feel like an idiot the best I can. If there is an error in my guide, or missing information, or you just feel I left something out that should have been in, let me know and I will credit you with the next update. ========================================================================= (ZZ) Guide Version / History ========================================================================= October 13, 2004 > Created Format for guide > Created Table of Contents > Started inputting information in various sections October 14, 2004 > Wrote parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 October 15, 2004 > Wrote part 5 and 6 > Updated Weapon, Armour and Item sections October 16, 2004 > Wrote part 7 and 8 October 17, 2004 > Wrote part 9 and 10 > Updated Weapons, Armour and Item sections > Added How to Get Married > Added Game Map > Created Index October 18, 2004 > Wrote part 11 > Edited and copied existing guide into the current format October 19, 2004 > Wrote part 12 and 13 > Added Will Abilities > Updated Weapon, Armour and Item sections > Added the opening quote > Added various info throughout the guide October 20, 2004 > Wrote part 14 > updated Weapon, Armour and Item sections > Updated the index October 22, 2004 > Wrote part 15 > Updated and added various information throughout the guide October 23, 2004 > Added Strength, Skill and Will section > Added Temple of Skorm and Avo section > Added Trading section October 24, 2004 > Wrote part 16 and 17 > Updated various information throughout the guide October 25, 2004 > Wrote part 18 > Updated various information throughout the guide October 26, 2004 > Reviewed entire guide....

November 10, 2004 > Even though Halo 2 is out... I don't have it, but due to certain cercumstances in my life, I have chosen to abandon this guide and release it as is. Complete but not to the extent I had planned. I removed 3 sections completely... and left the land ownership section incomplete because I am nearly done it and may actually finish it... the list of things to do below will also probably get done... but for now... I am not sure about anything. ========================================================================= (ZZ) Last Stuff Before The Guide Starts ========================================================================= Under each Part of the walk through, is a list of the required and optional activities. The required items must be done in the order they are shown, the optional ones however, can be done in any order you wish and you don't even have to do them all. Use the search codes, they are all unique. A search code is (code), you must include the brackets. So if you want to go to the first demon door simply HOLD CTRL and PRESS F, type in (DD01) and CLICK FIND NEXT. There are at least 3 locations in this guide for each code, the first is where it appears in the walk through, the second is in the section it falls into (demon doors are all listed in the demon door section) and finally in the index. A search code that appears in [ ] those brackets, is a reference, you just replace [ ] with ( ) keeping the code inside the [ ] the same. This is too limit the amount of actual search codes. I'd also like to take a minute to say, I am the only person who worked on this guide, I used no other guides as reference for information, nor did I take any information from others. I started a new game and wrote it as I went. Any similarties are because the information came from the same game.

Q: "How do I get the sword out of the stone at the Temple of Avo?" A: Increase your Physique by 5, Health by 2 and Toughness by 3, if this is more than what it takes to max your stats, maxing them will work as well. Q: "How do I get Skorm's Bow?" A: I cover this in detail in the guide, search [SA], replace [] with (). In short, you need to be at least a level 4 (preferably 5) GOOD Alignment character. Take the mercinary from the Temple of Avo, go to the Chapel of Skorm, save, wait until near midnight and then sacrifice the mercinary. If you don't get it, load and try again. You need to get about 700 or more EVIL points to get it. Q: "How do I get the Sentinus?" A: I do cover this in detail, but it is very simple, if you're half EVIL donate 35,000 gold, if you're half GOOD, donate 60,000 gold. Basically, the more you are to the GOOD side, the more you have to donate to get the Sentinus. Q: "How do I have sex?" A: First, buy a maritial home, flirt, talk, give gifts, do what ever it takes to get someone to fall in love with you, when they do they will turn green, buy a wedding ring, give it to them, then talk to them and they will ask you if you want to get married, say yes and then repeat the gift giving, flirting, talking, etc until they turn green again, talk to them and say yes. Thats it. Q: "How do I marry Lady Grey?" A: Its actually a complete quest with multiple parts. First you need to beat the arena and talk to her in Bowerstone North, you'll need to then buy a Black Rose from the shop in Bowerstone North (its the very bottom item in the gift section). Then you'll need to talk to people in Bowerstone North to find out Lady Grey's Necklace has been stolen, its in Oakvale, go to the Memorial Gardens and spy on the two thieves, then go dig between the two ruined boats in Oakvale by the docks to find the necklace. Go give it to Lady Grey, then go fight Thunder on the Headman's Hill and once thats done, go marry Lady Grey. Q: "How do I have sex with Lady Grey?" A: Its the exact same as sleeping with any other wife, just flirt, talk and give gifts, eventually she will be yours. Q: "How do I get the Solus Sword from Lady Grey?" A: She gives you gifts based on the level of affection she has for you, the higher the affection the easier it is. Give her lots of gifts, pay lots of attention to her and she will eventually give it to you. Its an act of patience. Q: "What does Xbox Live do for Fable?" A: It is only Live Aware, which means all you can do is see your friends on-line, you can't actually play on-line. Q: "I have more than 20 Silver Keys, whats the biggest chest?" A: 20, at the Heroes' Guild. They put in extra because not everyone will find every key... plus they probably had 25 key chests, but like so many other things, they were removed before release. Q: "Can you have kids?" A: No, it was left out. Q: "Can you ever go back to the Arena?" A: No. Q: "How do I get the Bright Plate Chest Piece and Gloves?" A: Buy them at the Arena, but if you missed your chance there, just walk around Witchwood talking to the wandering traders, eventually you will find a trader who sells them. Q: "How do I get the Hero Dolls?" A: Each card game, except Black Jack, gives you one as a reward, the last one is a Thunder Doll that you can buy in Bowerstone North. Q: "Where are the Assassin Attacks?" A: Knothole Glade, Witchwood Cullis Gate, Prison Path, Windmill Hill, Hook Coast. Q: "Where are the Treasure Clues?" A: 1 is a reward from the Assassin attacks when all 5 are dead, Orchard Farm, Windmill Hill, reward from the Lost Trader Optional Quest, reward at the archery competition and a reward from the optional Bounty Hunt quest. Q: "Where is the Hiden Bounty reward?" A: Go to Orchard Farm, infront of the barn is a pile of hay, dig between the barn and the hay and you will find the treasure. Q: "Why does my frying pan suck?" A: Its probably because you dug up the treasure without having all six treasure clues. Without the clues, the frying pan doesn't deal 100 damage and does not have any sockets. Q: "Is there a sequal, or an expansion coming out for Fable?" A: There has been a very real rumour about a Fable 1.5, thats all that is known though, the details are still very sketchy. Q: "Can I still play after beating the game?" A: Yes. Don't skip the credits (they are like 20 minutes long). Q: "How do I get into the Demon Door in Greatwood Caves?" A: You need to talk to the door with a 14 or higher combat multiplier. Q: "What is the Hero Save Glitch?" A: When you save during a quest, it is called a Hero Save, it does not record world data, such as chests opened, items found, enemies killed, etc, all it does save is the items you've acquired, experience gained, money earned. If you load the Hero Save game, you will keep those items you found, but they will also be back where you found them so you can get them again and again. Q: "What is the Age Glitch?" A: Use the hero save glitch during the Archaeologist quest by going to the Temple of Avo, donating enough gold to have your age reduced, Hero Save, load and repeat until you're 18 again. Q: "Why does Fable freeze so often?" A: Chances are you are like me and have a Thompson DVD drive in your XBox, there are three types, the Thompson is the worst. Q: "Can I get tattoos like Maze's?" A: Kinda, you can have blue tattoos by having and using a lot of magic. Q: "How can I make money?" A: The easiest ways are though houses. If you have expensive trophies, you can buy a house, put the expensive trophies on the wall mantles, sell the house, break down the door, take the trophies, buy the house back and repeat. Every time you sell the house with trophies on the wall, you make profit equal to the value of the trophies. The second best way is to own as many buildings as you can in one town, sleep 6 times (3 days) and collect all the rent, sleep again and just repeat. Q: "Why is Fishing so hard now?" A: Because the more you do it, the harder it is. Its stupid, I know. Q: "How do you get into the Tavern Cellar?" A: Check the statue at Lookout Point around 10:00 pm game time, it will say it is pointing at Bowerstone, go to the Cellar and it will be open. _________________________________________________________________________ (WT) Walk-Through _________________________________________________________________________ The walk-through, as the title suggests, walks you through the entire game, reveals all its secrets, solves all the problems and gives you the power to beat the game without needing to use your brain. ========================================================================= (01) Part 1: Oakvale (childhood) ========================================================================= REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT: "Birthday Gift" (BG) Core Quest: Birthday Gift """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" You need to get your sister a birthday present, which you can buy from the trader in the center of town (in the middle of the mini map, he is the lower of the 2 green objective markers).

(MC) Core Quest: Melee Combat Test """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Looking at your mini map, the guild woods is on the right hand side, in the middle, it will be marked with a yellow quest directional marker. Go there to find the beetles. There are 10 beetles at the back of the woods, kill them to complete the quest. When you leave the woods, you will have the option to move on in the story, or you can stay and do a couple things first. If you stay, talk to the guild master to move on to part 3 when you are done. Beating this quest earns you: 20 gold 30 renown (RM) Side Quest: Racing the Loud Mouth """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Near Maze's tower (the large tower in the lower left side of the guild) is a guy bragging about how fast he is, talk to him and take the challenge of beating his time. Its really not that hard, talk to him from as far away as you can, then be holding back as you finish talking to him and immediately hold B to run. Go across the bridge and turn right, go straight as an arrow to another bridge, cross it and go straight to find some stones in the water that you can use to cross to the demon door. As soon as you hit dry land, turn around and retrace your steps back to the guy, when you round the final corner watch the A button icon in the lower right side of your screen, as soon as it turns to the speech icon, press A. Beating his time earns you: 25 gold My personal best time is with 6 seconds left. (RA) Side Quest: Red Apples """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" Inside the slave quarters (I know its the servant quarters) you will find a woman standing beside a cabinet, at this point she is not highlighted green, (she is if you do this quest later though) she needs 4 Red Apples to bake a pie for the guild master, agree to help her. 1.

Talk to the guildmaster to get your first sword. Hit whisper 7 times to move on. Then you will need to block by holding "Y", just hold it and let whisper hit you 5 times. You can hit her with flourish attacks to earn extra strength experience. Now you will face off with whisper in a full out battle, she is easy, just roll and get behind her where you can get in 4-6 hits. After 7 hits, you will win, I've never lost so I don't know how many hits you can take... but I've been hit 3 times before. When you're done with melee training, go to the archery ring, which is just up on the mini map from the melee ring. Talk to the guild master, you will get your first bow. You can talk to the guild master before he gets to the archery ring. Hit each of the stationary targets, then you will need to hit moving targets. An excellent score is 150 or more, for reasons I will keep secret for now, score 150-160 points, this can be done by hitting the middle dummy with full power shots and still have plenty of time to spare. When you are done with the archery training, go to the Will training area, which if you didn't do the race yet, is the island before the demon door, the lowest part of the guild map. Go straight down to find a bridge and cross it to talk to the guild master. You can talk to the guild master before he gets to the will training area. Hit one dummy with lightning to please the guild master, who will then let you hit as many as you can in 30 seconds, an excellent score is 11 or more. Now, you can move on in the story or you can stay and do a few more things like before when you are done, talk to the guild master (he will be in the map room) when you are ready to move on to part 4. If you didn't do the race, or the apple pie quest before, you can still do it. (TW) Side Quest: Will Training """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the Will training area and talk to the black cloaked guy to test your Will abilities. (If you just finished your will training with the guild master, you'll have to wait for a bit before he gets there), Within the 30 second time limit, hit as many targets as you can, if you get 11 or more, you will get an A+. My personal best is 27. Earning an A+ gets you: 1 x Will Potion 1 x Resurrection Phial (MT) Side Quest: Melee Training """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the melee ring to test your melee abilities, talk to the guy in the black cloak to start the test. Just kick Whisper's ass again, you have to hit her 7 times with only being hit once or less to get an A+ and the reward. Beating Whisper with an A+ earns you: 1 x Iron Katana (AT) Side Quest: Archery Training """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the archery ring to test your archery skills, talk to the guy in the black cloak to start the test. Ok, same as before, hit the moving targets to earn points, again, it is easiest to focus on the middle target.

For an A+ (150 or more points) you will get: 1 x Yew Crossbow (SI) Side Quest: EVIL, Sparrow Infestation """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Near the entrance to the dinning hall is a black cloaked man, he wants you to kill the Sparrows that are all over the guild.

To the far right, on the same roof is another. 3. Across the bridge to the slave quarters, on the second entrance roof is one. 4. On the turn before Maze's tower, is one sitting on top of the little tree. 5. On the cross structure in the courtyard between the guild and Maze's tower, there is one sitting on the right structure. 6. In the courtyard on the roof right behind the statue and the fountain is another. 7. In the courtyard on the roof to the right of the guy who you can race, is the last one. Killing all 7 and then talking to the guy earns you: 55 gold (BW) Side Quest: Bandits in the Woods """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go in to the woods under the pretense of killing beetles with Whisper, but on the way, you see some bandits. Kill them with your will or archery abilities. Now, you don't actually get anything for this quest, other than experience in the area you used to kill the bandits... as well as the normal renown and good points for killing bad guys. ========================================================================= (04) Part 4: Guild of Heroes (graduation) ========================================================================= REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT: "Guild Training " (G3) Core Quest: Guild Training """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Its time to complete the core quest "Guild Training". Go to the woods and you will find your final test... man I wish all final exams were as easy as this. Also, if you didn't complete the optional quests in parts 2 and 3, this is your LAST CHANCE to do them. Melee is first up, hit Maze 7 times with your sword. Just like when you fought Whisper you can hit him with a florish attack to earn extra strength experience. Next is archery, if you stand far enough away from him, you can hurt him, giving you skill experience, hit him 7 times to move on. Last is Will, I do not know if you can earn extra will experience on him, I have tried all sorts of distances, but no luck, so just hit him 7 times and you've completed the final test.... Leave the woods and you get to graduate. Before you get to set out on your own, you need to learn to use the experience shrine. Its quite simple, just choose what ever you want, if you have enough experience, get it, if not either save up or buy something else.

So I ussually sell them after I have 5, they fetch a good price after all. (WM) Core Quest: Wasp Menace """""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Once you're ready to move on, go to the map room and take the Quest Card "Wasp Menace". The 3 faded quest cards are dummy quests, as in they are not actually possible to get.

(BB) Side Quest: Beardy Baldy """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""" If you go to Bowerstone Quay, at the bottom by the docks is a guy, talk to him, I just want to say I loathe this guy.... Ok, talk to him and he tells you about his poor daughter.... I hate this guy. Now, he wants you to look a certain way, depending on your hair styles you already have, I hate this guy so much, he will ask you to get a different look. Normally the first step is "The Pudding Basin" go to the Barber Shop and get that hair cut. Return to the guy when your hair is the way he wants it. Next he will want you to get a beard, normally its "Mutton Chop Beard" again, go to the Barber Shop and come back with the look he wants. Now, the last thing he wants is a moustache, normally its "Trader Style Moustache" and again, go get the look and come back. So, time to get married? NO, time to kick the lieing mother lovers ass until he craps his intestines out! You can beat this guy with your fists as much as you want, he will never die. I hate him. On a side note to this quest, if you have some or all of the looks he normally asks you to have, he asks for an alternate: Pudding Basin - The Warrior Stripe Mutton Chop Beard - Long Beard Trader Style Moustache - Sheriff Moustache Your reward for doing this: 1 x Pudding Basin The Warrior Stripe (hairstyle cards) 1 x Mutton Chop Beard Long Beard (hairstyle cards) 1 x Trader Style Moustache Sheriff Moustache (hairstyle C.) 1 x Fire Monkey Tattoo 100 experience 100 gold piecies (when you leave the Quay) 100 renown (when you leave the Quay) (F1) Side Quest: Fist Fighters Level 1 """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" At the Quay during the night a group of shirtless guys will show up and go to the large ring beside the barn on the left. If you talk to the biggest guy who is marked with a green objective marker, you can activate an on-going side quest. You have to pay 50 gold to play this side quest. Now, each round you win earns you gold. When you get hit, you earn less gold... I do not know how much, mainly because, I've never been hit. So, if someone does know, fill me in, ok. To make things simple, I will use a character with 0 strength (no physique, toughness or health) to report how many hits it takes to defeat each opponent. More strength = less hits. Also, I don't use florishes ("B" when charged up from attacks) which you can use to knock your opponent down. Round 1: 5 hits Round 2: 8 hits Round 3: 10 hits Round 4: 16 hits Ok, I know people are going to be e-mailing me how I can possibly say I've never been hit. Now, when I first played, I hit the ring and saw what you were supposed to do. Block until you can hit your opponent. If that was it, you would still be at risk of being hit the odd time, but lucky for us, we have a dodge roll. Stand facing your opponent while blocking, he will swing, block it, then roll past him, if it is his triple hit combo, he will turn and swing again. Roll past him yet again. This time, he will not automatically turn to swing at you with his delayed, but powerful, attack. This leaves him facing away from you with his back ready for a beating. You can get in unlimited hits, but if he moves out of the ring from the force of your strikes (which he will) you only have 10 seconds to hit him all you can and get back in the ring. Don't push your luck, get back in the ring with at least 5 seconds to spare, its not worth a loss. Now, all the fighters, at all the different levels, do the same thing thus, you can simply use this method to beat them all. When you beat these guys (perfectly) you will earn: 350 gold 50 renown (CP) Side Quest: Card Pairs """"""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the Tavern, the guy sitting at the table who doesn't look like a normal villager, and is also highlighted green, talk to him to discover 2 side quests. He's the guy wearing a blue suit, top hat and a mini traders style moustache. Max Bet = 1000 Card pairs is the 2nd easiest (without magic) mini game to win, it is also the easiest to win until the last 10% of the game. So, when you need some quick cash, I recommend this game. There are BETTER ways to make money, but, until later in the game, or before you have much money, Card Pairs can earn you as much as 100,000 gold coins per hour. Now, 100,000 gold is more than you will ever need in the game, unless you plan on being a land barron.... But, onto the game. If you don't know how to play Card Pairs, you just flip a face down card to see what it is, then flip over another of the same card. The suit does not have to be the same, just the card (queen - queen, 3 - 3, ace - ace, etc). Because the cards are face down, you won't know where the matching card is, so this is a memory and speed game. When your bet is placed and the cards are dealt, press "A" to continue. This starts the counter which gives you only 40 seconds to clear all 16 cards. The EASIEST way is to start at either the bottom left or right, and work across the bottom row, making sure you remember all 4 cards clearly. Then move onto the 2nd row, match up any pairs that appear. With this method: 90% of the time you will get at least 1 match in the first 2 rows 30% of the time you will get at least 2 matches in the first 2 rows 10% of the time you will get a match in the first row 1 in every 30 times you WON'T get any matches in the first 2 rows Now, just go and practice, once you get it down you can win 100% of the time with an average under 30 seconds. Even when you don't have a single match in the first 2 rows, you can still win with time to spare. When you win, you get what ever you bet, so if you bet 1000 gold, you will have made 1000 gold for that round. Simple stuff. Try and beat 35 seconds to earn a special prize. Which activates a new side quest. My personal best time for Card Pairs is 16 seconds. When you beat 35 seconds you will earn: 200 renown 1 x special prize (1C) Side Quest: Collect the Hero Dolls 1 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" IF you beat 35 seconds on Card Pairs you will earn a special prize, when you do this and leave the Card Pairs table, a little kid will run up to you and will give you this side quest. This is an on-going quest with many parts throughout the game, so, it will be broken down to each point in time where you can earn another doll. First Hero Doll: 1 x Briar Rose Marital Home #1 """"""""""""""" If you go to the very end of town on the left of the mini-map, you will find a Marital Home for sale.

You need to protect the crates from 3 waves of bandits. The first wave consists of 3 melee bandits, 1 will go for the crates, the other two act like homing missiles onto you. Go away from the barn that has the crates in it (only one barn, so its not to hard to figure out where they are). This way, you will be against 2 Bandits, but you will also have the two guards with you. Kill at least one of the bandits, then leave the other for the guards to finish off and go after the bandit who went after the goods. If he is on his way back to his base with some of the goods, he will appear as a quest marker on your mini-map. Once the 3 Bandits are dead, get ready for the 2nd wave. TIP: Don't forget, you can control the guards (to a degree) by using the follow and stay expressions. The second wave consists of 2 melee and 1 ranged bandit. One of the melee bandits will go after the goods, the other two will again go after you. Kill the ranged bandit and then go after the bandit at the goods. When all three are dead, get ready for the next wave. The 3rd wave is the same as the 2nd, so just do what you did last time. When they are all dead, Whisper will appear and ask you to hit her with a Florish. Well, smack her once, this will charge up your attack and then just hit her by pressing "B" thats a florish.

Go down to the barn, killing the 3 guards on your way. Guards use a mix of ranged and melee combat, so be careful. When you get to the barn, one of the bandits will steal one of the crates, follow them back to the entrance. The next two crates are exactly the same, so just do what ever worked the first time and you got it. Once the last crate has been stolen, Whisper will appear and ask you to hit her with a Florish. Hit her once, this will charge up your attack and then just hit her with "B" that is a florish. After that, just kick her ass like you normally do, when she falls, the quest is done.

Either way, exit the guild and at Lookout Point, you should find a trader marked by the green objective marker. After agreeing to take the trader to Orchard Farm, command him to follow you, and just as he said, don't run to fast or he will get left behind, which is bad. The reward you get depends on how well you guard him. If he doesn't get hit, he will give you a bonus gift, I've only ever seen Gems, but hey, they're worth like 500 bucks, so not a bad bonus. Now, right away in Greatwood Entrance, that little path on your left, when you pass it a Bandit magically appears down it and comes up to attack your trader. Watch out for that if you want the trader to give you his gift. Just hack your way to Orchard farm from there, sometimes you will have to go to the entrance at Greatwood Lake. But, for this time you can probably just use the entrance at Greatwood Entrance. Once you get there, you get your money and possibly your gift, then the quest is done. This quest comes back, as in you can do it more than once, but it takes a couple game days. Beating this quest (perfectly) will earn you: 500 gold (including pre-payment) 1 x Gem (Varies) If you didn't beat it perfectly and you feel robbed, you can shoot the trader in the back and kill him, he will drop the Gem he should have given to you in the first place. (HK) Optional Quest: Hobbe Killing Contest """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" If you didn't already take the quest card, do so now and go to Orchard Farm. When you enter Orchard Farm you need to head to the Apple Trees. Before you start the quest, you will be able to enter the house here, it only opens during certain times and can't be broken down or broken into with lockpick, so if you want to get the items inside, do it now. Inside you will find: 1 x Making Friends 1 x The Rotten Apple You'll get filled in on what you have to do and the challenge begins. You have 3 minutes, 30 seconds to kill as many Hobbes as you can. There is no real threat from Hobbes, unless they have large numbers, but here, the most you will possibly see is 5, ussually they are in a group of 3. If you want to Humble Whisper, I would not fight near her, she will take more of your kills on Hobbes you beat up, than you will gain from her beating them up. After the time runs up, if you have more than her, you win. Beating this quest earns you: 900 gold 200 renown 1 x Hobbe Tooth Trophie Greatwood Gorge """"""""""""""" To get to Greatwood Gorge, go to Greatwood Lake and go to the lower left side, across the bridge and up the stairs. When you enter the guild master will warn you of a bandit toll, follow the path and you will encounter a bandit who gives you two choices: 1. PAY - If you pay, you will just lose gold... you won't gain any GOOD points. You can't take their items or they attack you. There is no point in paying them. 2. KILL - If you refuse to pay, you can kill all the bandits, earning GOOD points for every kill, just as you do normally. You can also take all the items once the're dead. This is the only way to go. Once you're done slaying the bandits, you can find some items. If you chose to PAY the bandits, they will attack you if they catch you taking their items. Inside the chests you will find: 1 x Flame Augmentation 1 x Steel Pickhammer 500 gold Inside the barrels you will find: 2 x Health Potion 2 x Will Potion 1 x Red Meat 1 x Apple Pie (DD02) Demon Door #2 - Greatwood Gorge """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the lowest point on the mini-map for Greatwood Gorge, near the exit is a demon door. It requires you to be evil, but you can counter the EVIL points the same way you earn them for the door, with food. Plus, inside you can find the first Legendary Weapon, so I do recommend it. "This is the deal. You perform an act of great evil in my sight, and I'll pop open." Now, the way I open the door is I go off and buy 12 Chruchy Chicks, but since you may have some already (you should) 12 is all you need. Right now the only way you can buy them is from wandering traders, just keep going back and forth between Greatwood Entrance and Greatwood Lake, eventually a trader will have them. Come back to the door with 12, eat them one at a time. This is were a lot of people screw up. They just throw the Chrucky Chicken onto a quick button and scarff em all down in 2 seconds. THAT DOES NOT WORK! You need to eat them slowly. There is about a 1-2 second delay after the evil points are given before you will get more evil points for eating another. So, make sure you are standing infront of the door, eat one, wait, eat another, wait, eat another, etc. Try after 10, if he won't open, eat the last ones and try again. I only say 12 because sometimes you do eat one too soon and don't get the evil points, but you only have to gain 50 evil points infront of him to open up, and if you mess up with just 10, you would have to do it all over again, so the extra 2 may save you a trip back to the traders. Now, if you are trying to be a pure GOOD character, just buy 12 Tofu and eat them the same way after, it will be as if you never earned the EVIL points to get in. Now, the door will also open if you're just plain evil already. I am not sure how evil you have to be (judging by your horns) but, it would not open for me with just skin coloured horns, but it did open when I was nearly at full demon horns. So somewhere in between. There are a bunch of vines inside this place, as well as a chest. Inside the chest you will find: 1 x Wellow's Pickhammer Greatwood Cullis Gate """"""""""""""""""""" Exit the Greatwood Gorge through the Greatwood Cullis Gate exit. For now ignore the Rose Cottage path and move to the lower left path on the mini-map that goes to the Greatwood Caves, its the left path on your screen. (FF11) Fishing Location 11 - Greatwood Cullis Gate """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Right before the exit to the Greatwood Caves you will see a pond with a fishing hole, go ahead and fish. You will find in this fishing hole: 1 x Moonfish Greatwood Caves """"""""""""""" When you get into the Greatwood Caves area, there will be some vines on your right, go ahead and chop em down. You can find two items here. Also notice the Demon Door, for now it is a pain in the butt to open and I won't bother trying to help you get it at this point, just remember it is there and we WILL get back to it soo. You can find these items on the ground: 1 x Will Potion 1 x Red Meat ========================================================================= (10) Part 10: Trader Escort ========================================================================= REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT: "Trader Escort" (TE) Core Quest: Trader Escort """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Ok, go to the guild and take the "Trader Escort" quest card if you have not already done so. Go and boast if you want, when you're done, use your warp ability to go to the Greatwood Cullis Gate, then go to the Greatwood Caves. From the Greatwood Caves you can enter the Darkwood Entrance. This will begin the quest. This quest covers a lot of ground, but I will cover each area in detail, after the quest. With the 2 traders behind you go down the path and you will find a badly beaten trader wanting your help. GOOD - take him with you and get to Barrowfields before he turns into a Balverine. If you do chose to take him, ignore all the items, and just run for the Barrowfields, you can come back later for the items, but you can never redo the the quest. EVIL - leave him to die mwahahahahaha... uh, yeah. Ok, I will write this assuming you are going to save the trader. Run down the hill and through the exit. All these paths are linear; they have just the entrance and exit, with one exception. When you exit the Darkwood Entrance you are in the Darkwood Marshes. You will encounter your first Balverine here, they are fairly easy, but they can hurt you if you don't take em serriously on your first time through. Ok, now, follow the path into the marshes, there will be some explosive spores here, what I like to do is just run while holding Lightning, you don't need to target, it will auto-target them all one by one, and it looks kinda cool. Enter the Greatwood Lake. One of the traders will warn you of bandit attacks in this area, and sure enough, the first path on your left, some bandits will spawn and attack you. Kill them and move on down the path follow this path until you hit the bottom and are standing in water. More bandits will spawn and attack. Wait until they get to you, you don't want them killing your traders. Once they are dead, get to the lower right side of the map, one final bandit attack occurs when you get near the giant rock on your left. Again, kill the bandits and then move on. The exit is straight ahead on your left, this will take you to Darkwood Camp. This is a check point where you can let the traders heal, buy some gear or if you're trying to keep the infected trader alive, run right through and go to the Ancient Cullis Gate, its the exit on your right. Ignore the Darkwood Chapel of Skorm for now. Follow the path and you will encounter some Bandits and an ancient, but un-active Cullis Gate. Keep going along the path and you'll cross a bridge and then hit some more bandits. Kill them and move on. Cross the bridge to fight some Hobbes. We're almost there, enter the Darkwood Weir. Follow the path, cross the creek, go up the hill and meet an Earth Troll. These things are fairly easy. You can hit the rocks they throw at you back at them with a melee atack, if you're fighting them close up, just roll back when ever they jump up to slam the ground. Thats about it. Earth Trolls always drop an item, it will either be a Gem, or a potion. If you didn't make it in time to save the infected trader, he will turn into a Balverine. This one is significantly stronger than the first one you fought. If the first one took 4 hits too kill, with the same weapon, this one will take 10 hits to kill, or more. Enter the Barrowfields. When you enter the Barrowfields, just follow the traders to the bridge, cross it and the guy there will talk to you to complete the quest.

This can be either easy, very easy, or suck balls gay. If you are doing this during the quest (as I am) you will not only have to fight a small army of Hobbes, but you will still have to protect the traders you are escorting, who believe they can fight these Hobbes. So, if you don't want to do it yet, come back later and do it then. Now, when you say yes, there will be 5 waves of Hobbes, each wave is harder than the last. Because you are able to have the "Wellow's Pickhammer" by this point and because it is about the strongest weapon you can get for now, I will use that and record the waves in difficulty by how many hits it takes to kill each Hobbe in each wave.

Go to the house and open the door, you will get the Hexagon Key. Now, go back to the Greatwood Cullis Gate, follow the path until the main path and turn right, this takes you to the Greatwood Caves. Take the path on the right that was (or still is) blocked by vines. Go in the Hobbe Cave Entrance. Go down the stairs and at the bottom, facing the stairs is a door, go in. There is a bandit who has been captured, if you kill all the Hobbes, you will have the choice of taking the Bandit with you, or leaving him there. That choice will spark another choice later on, and possibly even another choice after that, all within this quest though. If you choose not to take him with you, you can kill him for 20 GOOD points.

Taking the item from the old woman's house will also earn you evil points.

When you dig up this area you will get: (SK10) Silver Key #10 - Focuse Chamber (DD06) Demon Door #6 - Greatwood Caves """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" At the Greatwood Caves is a demon door we've ignored until now, if you have tried opening it, you may have found it to be difficult. But it is time to open this bad boy. "I need to see your Combat Multiplier get higher before I swing ajar." It says exactly what it wants to see. It wants you to talk to it when you have a high combat multiplier. In this case, 14 or more. I do remember my first time, how many 13's I had and just gave up.... Anyway, the easiest way to do this is to have physical shield for starters, but that won't give you the high combat multiplier. There are 2 methods. 1. Go into the Hobbe Cave, fight to the Main Chamber, kill all the Hobbes in the Main Chamber, turn around and kill all the Hobbes on your way through the Entrance and then enter the Greatwood Caves. You will need to have an 18-20 multiplier when you leave, which will give you a high enough one when you get out that when you kill the enemies outside, you will hit 14. 2. Be standing at Greatwood Caves, warp to Barrowfields (this will set Greatwood Caves as a RECALL) and then go to Grey House. Here you will find an empty house, enter it and undead appear. Kill them and then go out of the house, there are now undead out here too. Kill them all and you should have a 20 or more combat multiplier, if not, just exit and re-enter the area and try again. I prefer this way because there are no ranged Hobbes to screw you over and the undead are slow and easy to dodge. If its not undead at first just exit and leave the area. Basically the 2nd option is for those of us not using Physical Shield, but if you have it either way is incredibly easy, hell you could probably beat up bandits and recall to do it, Physical Shield is so cheap. When you talk to the door with a 14 or high combat multiplier on your screen it will open up and you will find a chest.

When you beat these guys (perfectly) you will earn: 400 gold 100 renown (CG) Side Quest: Coin Golf """""""""""""""""""""""""""" Coin Golf is one of the least efficent, time wise, games to play to earn gold. You can find the same card player character at the Tavern and bet your money to play this useless, but fun to play mini-game. Max bet = 1000 The underline concept is to get as low of a score as possible. I serriously got hooked on this game when playing at a friends house, over 3 hours on it (didn't make much money at all really). ROUND Target BEST POSSIBLE 1 2 1 2 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 The above table shows your target shots per hole and the best you can possibly get. I've gotten all those scores (not all in one round) so I know it can be done, and you can theoretically score a 5, which I would love to see, but for now.... To play, pull the joystick back (the opposite way of where you want the penny to go) to where you want your power to be, hold it steady, make sure you're aiming in the right spot, and then press "A". Don't try and pull and release, this can serriously hold you back. Round 1 - Aim left, at the tall skinny glass. You want to hit the right side edge of the glass just right. Use 90% power at first just to get your aim down. To get a hole in 1 you need to use about 98% power, hit it just right and get VERY lucky. If it doesn't go in on the first shot (which I doubt you will see for a while) you will still be in an easy 2nd shot straight line. Round 2 - Aim right of the big jug in the middle of the table, you will see a beer mug, you want to hit it just right with a shot that looks like it will miss the left side, but just barely hit the edge of it. Use 80-90% power until you get your bearings, 100% on a good shot will shoot it right through the hole and off the table, I use about 95%. Again, if you don't get it in 1 shot, you at least have a second easy shot. Round 3 - Aim to the far left, in the great distance you will see a skiny glass on the edge of the table. Hit it in the middle-right side and you will quickly learn the spot to hit, use 100% power and you'll probably get a lot of teasers just outside the ring and start thinking it can't make it, when one time it will. OF course, this hole provides on of the better 2nd shots, its so easy to get the aim down. Round 4 - Aim to the right at the tall glass. You want to look very carefully at the screen, you can see the 3d texturing has a shadow on the inside edge (the far left of the base), if you hit that area just right, with a 100% power shot, your penny can go all the way down the table and even set you up for an easy 2nd shot. Most of the time, this hole requires 3 shots (9/10 times) and I do not see anyway of getting a hole in 1. My personal best is 8. When you score 11 or under you will get the special prize, a Whisper Hero Doll, the 2nd in the doll collecting quest. (2C) Side Quest: Collect the Hero Dolls 2 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" At Coin Golf, if you score 11 or less, you will earn the special prize. Second Hero Doll: 1 x Whisper Hero Doll Maritial Home #2 """""""""""""""" At the middle left side of the mini-map is a group of houses, you can buy the upper most one. Mecrinary #2 """""""""""" Outside the entrance to the Memorial Gardens is the second mercinary. This is a GOOD sided mercinary of average strength. (TS) Side Quest: The Chapel of Skorm """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go back to Darkwood Camp. From Darkwood camp you can go to the Chapel of Skorm. Skorm is basically the devil and all the bad guys worship him. So, this chapel is an evil place. Left of the chapel is a chest. Inside the chest you will find: 1 x Assassin Shirt Inside the chapel are two evil priests, you can kill them for GOOD points or you can do their bidding for EVIL points. If you wish to do their bidding you can earn prizes. Prize 1: Gift of extended age (average of 8 years off your age) Prize 2: Skorm's Bow (best ranged weapon in the game) Prize 3: Necromancer Title To earn these prizes you must bring sacrifices. Sacrifices can be any villager who is willing to follow you, mercinaries even your own wives. This is the most complicated part of the game because it is never consistant. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS SAVE BEFORE MAKING SACRIFICES! Although you can in theory get all the rewards at this point in the game, it may not work for you. If you're EVIL, I can tell you right now, it won't happen. To get Skorm's Bow, you need to get at least 750 EVIL points from a single sacrifice, if it is your first sacrifice it seems to be easier. The gift of extended life and the Necromancer title can be earned by getting 400 or more EVIL points per sacrifice AFTER getting Skorm's Bow. So, to sum it up in 3 steps, this is what you have to do: 1. Sacrifice someone for 750 or more EVIL points. 2. Sacrifice someone for 400 or more EVIL points. 3. Sacrifice someone for 400 or more EVIL points. The more to the GOOD alignment you are, the easier this is. A level 5 GOOD character (over half way) who sacrifices the mercinary from Oakvale at the right time of night (its unpredictable when the right time is) will earn 800 GOOD points, a level 3 GOOD character at the right time of night with the same mercinary will only earn 650-700 EVIL points. It is best if you do this in only 3 sacrifices. If you simply can't get it wait until later, I will comment on the chapel again. ========================================================================= (14) Part 14: Twinblade's Camp ========================================================================= REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCEMENT: "Find the Bandit Seeress" OPTIONAL QUESTS AND ACTIVITIES: "Twinblade's Tent" "Twinblade Elite's Camp" "Twinblade's Camp" "Abandoned Road" "The Clifftop Path" "Digging Location 12" "Silver Key #13" "Fist Fighters Level 3" "Spot The Addition" "Collect the Hero Dolls 3" "Mercinary #3" (FS) Core Quest: Find the Bandit Seeress """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Go to the guild and take the quest card, boast and then head to Oakvale. On the main beach is a little cave to "The Clifftop Path" enter it and you'll be on the quest. You need to sneak past the bandit's without being seen. BUT, if you have a good enough bow and your accuracy is high enough, you can just one hit kill each of the bandits and not have to worry about sneaking past them. But, if you do have to sneak past them, use the right thumbstick click to blow up your mini-map to know their locations and just play slowly. Stand by the big rock hidden from the first bandit, watch for when the second bandit moves down into the big open area, when he does this, the first bandit should still have his back turned to the road. Run right to where the second bandit was, when you see the bandit, keep him on the other side of the rocks in the middle, just walk around these until you can sneak past the third bandit, remember to always keep the second bandit on the other side of objects so he can't see you. This can be tricky, and very annoying, but you have to do it if you can't one hit kill the bandits with your bow. Once through the gate you will be in the Abandoned Road. Here you will need to find the 5 pieces of the bandit outfit to continue. Go along the path killing the bandits as you go (if you chose kill no bandits, just run). At the first bend you will find the first chest. Inside the chest you will find: 1 x Bandit Boots Go up the hill and fight some more bandits.

Go past the Cullis Gate and talk to the bandit while wearing the complete bandit outfit. Once the gate is open you can change back into what ever you want. Go down the path, don't worry about these bandits, they won't attack you unless you attack them first. To get through the next gate you have to get a Camp Pass. There are a couple ways you can get it. 1. Buy it from the bandit who is the middle of the 3 green objective markers on the lower left of your mini-map. It costs 1000 gold, but you can kill the bandit after you buy it and get your 1000 gold back. 2. You can play the Memory mini-game to win it for free. If you need help with this mini-game go to [SP]. 3. Kill the memory game guy and he will drop the camp pass. 4. Kill the bandit who would normally sell the camp pass to you. With the pass in hand, go through the gate into Twinblade Elite's Camp. Ok, here there is a gaurd who won't let you enter the Twinblade's Tent area, so we have to find a way through. There are two ways of doing this. 1. Using your mini map, see the far left green objective markers, one is moving to and from the other marker. If you got there, you will find two women trapped in a cage. Kill the guard to get the key and then free the women who will create a deversion that will gain you entry into Twinblade's Tent. 2. The three green objective markers on the bottom middle/right of your mini-map, talk to the Assassin leader and pay him 2000 gold for them to cause a deversion that will gain you entry to Twinblade's Tent. Enter Twinblade's Tent area. You will be thrown into a fight with the giant Twinblade. Twinblade is very easy to beat, when you know how. If you think he is invulnerable, just wait till he slams his swords into the ground and gets them stuck. Run behind him and hit his back. That is how you kill him. While he is not stuck in the ground, have your weapon put away and hold "Y" while locked onto him, and just keep rolling until he sticks his weapons in the ground, get behind him, bring out you weapon and hit him. Assassin rush works very well here. Blocking his attacks do nothing. Keep doing that until hes beaten. After the cutscene, you will be given the choice to kill Twinblade, which means you have to fight all the other bandits as well (just in this location) or walk away and let him live. GOOD = let him live EVIL = kill him Either way brings the same result, quest beaten once you leave the area.

You have to pay 50 gold to play, each hit you take reduces your prize. Just like before, I will use a character with 0 strength and record the hits it takes for me to beat each opponent. The more strength you have the less hits you will have to deliver to each opponent. Round 1: 5 hits Round 2: 8 hits Round 3: 12 hits Round 4: 15 hits Round 5: 20 hits Round 6: 26 hits When you beat these guys (perfectly) you will earn: 550 gold 150 renown (SP) Side Quest: Spot The Addition """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Spot the addition can be found in Twinblade's Camp, under the large tent at the bottom of the mini map. Max bet = 1000 To play you need to beat 5 rounds, each round starts with a set amount of figurines, they are then covered up for a moment and shown again, in a mixed up order, with a new figurine, you must select the new figurine. Round 1 = 3 starting figurines Round 2 = 4 starting figurines Round 3 = 5 starting figurines Round 4 = 6 starting figurines Round 5 = 7 starting figurines With so many figurines to remember, and there being enough that you won't be able to just look quickly and see which is missing BEFORE they add the additional figurine, you will need to work on your actual memory skills. For those of you who are big fans of cheating for tests, that is to say, learning a lot of quick facts the night before, or right before the exam just to know those facts for such a short period of time, that the only practicle use for that studying is for a good mark on your exam - you people should be naturally good at this game. The way you beat this game is to look at each of the figurines and call out their name, one after the other. These quick reference names are a basic description and are easier to remember than the actual physical form. If you try and play this game without naming the figurines, its no different than going to work, school, or where ever without knowing anyones name, once you know their names you can easily tell who is there and who is, right? So, here are the quick names I use: Tree - the white flowery type of tree Fighter - the hobbe fighter Fish - the orange fish Wasp - the wasp Potion - the green bottle Dagger - the dagger Grave - the stone statue Skull - the skull statue Boot - the boot like statue Thing - the balverine head (its the balck fury type thing) Apple - the red apple Mushroom - the small cluster of mushrooms Book - the book Ok, so this is really pretty basic, but you need to know the items that I listed above to be good at this game, because the more familar you are with them, the faster you can do this. Now, if you want to earn the special prize, you have to be 25 seconds. That means you have a very limited amount of time to do each round in, here are the target times (max, the faster the better) I use. Round 1 - 1.5 seconds or less Round 2 - 3.5 seconds or less Round 3 - 7 seconds or less Round 4 - 15 seconds or less Round 5 - 25 seconds or less Now, thats about all I can say to beating it normally... if you want to make it a whole lot easier, you CAN use slow time and play this mini- game, which gives you far more time to remember and chose. I personally have never needed slow time to earn the special prize. My record time (without slow time) is 14.8 seconds.

As soon as you arive in the Witchwood Cullis Gate area, the quest will start. Go straight, hack your way through the vines and keep going, you will come to a corner... where you will meet your first Rock Troll. Fight them the same way you do an Earth Troll, these guys just have way more health, defence and attack power. This first one will drop two gems. All the rest afterwards will drop one gem or a potion. Move on through the area to the top right corner of the mini-map, this will take you to the Witchwood Stones. Nearly right away on your right you will find a Demon Door, talk to him. (DD07) Demon Door #7 - Witchwood Stones """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" In the Witchwood Stones area, the demon doors is on the right hand side when you enter the area, this is a quest required door. "I only open to those who know my name. If you know it, find and hit the magic stones to spell it out." "Only one person knows my name, but I doubt you'll find him. Even at the Temple of Avo." Hmmmm I wonder what we have to do? Lest try the Temple of Avo. Continue on the path until you hit the split in the road, the left path takes you to the stones you need to spell the doors name, it will also eventually get you to the Temple of Avo, but the right path is a shorter route to the Temple of Avo. Right away there is a split in the road, go right and you will quickly be at the Temple of Avo. Talk to the guy wandering around there who is highlighted green and shows up on your mini-map (not the mercinary). He will ask you straight up if you want to know the name of the Demon Door. But the bastard wants an item, a shiny, expensive item. He wants a bloody Ruby that jerk. GOOD - give it to him and walk away. EVIL - give it to him, kill him and take your Ruby back. Now you know the Demon Door's name, so lets head back to the Witchwood Stones area. Go down the right hand path to the stones. Hit them in order to spell "HITS" you can examine the stones with the "A" button to see what leter each stone represents. If you spell "S" "H" "I" "T" the game will say it and the first time it will also summon two Balverines. You'll be brought automatically to the Demon Door, go on in and the quest will be complete.

Anyway, just like the Chapel of Skorm, there are three rewards, each requires a lot of gold, and is even more expensive if you are good. Prize 1: Gift of youth (average of 8 years taken off your age) Prize 2: The Sentinus Prize 3: Paladin Title The Temple of Avo is a lot easier to figure out than the Chapel of Skorm. You just donate money and you get rewards. NOTE: I highly recommend saving before donating gold, that way if you don't get the reward you want or any reward at all, you can just load and come back with more money. If you're EVIL, donate around 33,000 - 35,000 gold and you should get the The Sentinus. If you didn't get The Sentinus, reload and add 5000 gold to the amount you previously donated, repeat until you get it in one donation. Then donate 5000 gold and you should get the gift of youth. Then finally donate 1000 gold at a time until you get the Paladin title. On average, a level 4 EVIL character (half way EVIL) will need 47,000 gold to get this reward. If you're GOOD, donate around 48,000 - 50,000 gold and you should get the Sentinus. If you didn't get the Sentinus, but you did get another reward, reload and increase the donation you previously donated by 5000 and repeat until you get The Sentinus. Once you get the Sentinus, donate 5000 gold and then 1000 gold until you get the other two gifts. On average a level 4 GOOD character will need 80,000 gold. If you couldn't get the rewards at the Chapel of Skorm, you will be able to get them now, as well as the rewards here at the Temple of Avo. STARTING @ Level 3 or higher EVIL Alignment 1.

Fight it for a little bit and once its health drops to 75% it calls for back up and a normal Balverine comes. I recommend killing the normal one before starting on the White Balverine again, because when the White Balverine hits about 50% it calls for more back up again, this time 2 normal Balverines come. Again, I'd kill the normal ones first, the White Balverine will call 3 more normal ones when you get it down to below 25% health.
