Go to www.fable2.com, and start the puppet show. Complete the puppet show to get various
items in the game. You collect the items in the Guild Hall, in the chest by the Cullis gate. To get
all the items, use the following directions:

Doll and Tattoo : Down + Good + third option + Good + first option
Three Piece Chicken Suit: Left + Evil + first option + Good + second option
Infinite XP
When playing the game for the first time, you may be prompted to update it with an online
download. Do not accept this download, and continue to play the game. This trick must be done
with an unpatched game. When you reach Oakfield and have at least 5,000 gold, buy the very
first house you see once you enter the zone. It should have a wood chopping job nearby. Once
you buy and own this house, sleep in the bed. You should now have a speed bonus. Press Start,
and go into the "Skills" menu. Go to "Skill", and notice "Speed" has one star. Press Y, A(2) to
remove experience from Speed into General experience, but the star will still remain. Keep doing
this until you have enough for Rank 2, then Rank 3, and finally Rank 4. Then, do this until you
have enough General experience to buy out all skills, strength, and will skills. You will now be
maxed out on everything.
Go to the Temple of Light, and perform the "Easy gold" trick that requires the system date and
time being set ahead. Get a few million gold. Then, donate all your gold. Afterwards, you will
notice some green General Experience around the donation pedestal. Use RT to gather it up. You
should get a few thousand experience points, depending on if you donated a few thousand gold
or a few million.
After your character has leveled up a few times, insert a second controller, and begin a Co-op
mode game without using a second profile. Go to your henchman's abilities on controller two.
Remove all of the abilities to return the experience to the pool. Quit the Co-op mode game. The
extra experience from the pool will be transferred to your character. Repeat this as many times as
desired.
After you complete the "Donate To The Temple Of Light" quest and get the Legendary Rising
Sun cleaver, leave the temple, and go back towards Oakfield. When you get to the split in the
path where you can go over the small bridge to the right to travel to Oakfield, stay left, and
follow the path up the small hill towards the ruins at the top of the hill. When you get to the
ruins, to the left is the entrance to the Wellspring Cave. Enter the cave, then turn around, and
leave. When you get done loading the outside, you will receive another Rising Sun. Repeat this
as many times as desired.
Easy XP
Purchase an Experience Potion from a vendor at either Browerstone or Westcliff, then find some
enemies to battle. Normally when you dispatch the enemies and absorb their Orbs, you will get a
message at the top stating "Excellent Fight! 150% XP", or something similar. After you defeat
the enemies, and before you absorb the Orbs, use the Experience Potion. The experience point
bonus percentage will also apply to the potion, meaning you could earn 62,500 XP and get up to
three times that amount. You can also buy lots of potions at the Crucible and use them in several
of the fights (for example, the first bandit fight).
Easy gold
Buy some real estate, such as a food vendor stall or house. Once the real estate is purchased,
adjust the rent/profits price to 100% of their default by clicking on the property paper on the side
of the property. Save the game once the price has been raised. If you are connected to Xbox
Live, disconnect as that will automatically update the clock and date. Exit to the Xbox 360
Dashboard, and access the clock. Adjust the date and time. For best results, adjust the clock as
far ahead in time as possible. For example, if the saved game date is June 1, 2008 at 12:00 a.m.,
adjust the clock to December 31, 2028 at 11:59 p.m. Then, reload the game, and select
"Continue". Once the game loads, wait a few seconds. You will see a large lump sum suddenly
appear over your character's head. This is the money that you have accumulated in your
"absence" from playing the game. Save the game. If you have Xbox Live, the easiest way to
repeat this is to sign onto the service. Once the clock automatically resets to the correct time,
save the game, quit, and repeat the trick. This works because the game gives you gold every five
minutes in real time whether or not you are playing the game or have it turned off.
Once you have acquired enough gold in Bowerstone Market from the Blacksmith job, go to the
Bowerstone Slums, and buy the most expensive weapons from the weapon trader. Next, go to
Fairfax Gardens, and sell them to one of the wandering merchants (must be a weapons trader).
You will gain over 30% in profit. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
In Sparrow's childhood, give all five warrants to the guard. When Sparrow reaches adolescence
(early adulthood), get a job as a blacksmith. Earn at least 10,000 gold in addition to how much
gold you need to get the new clothes, books, and other items desired. Because you turned in the
warrants to the guard, you will be given a 50% discount from all merchants in Old Town
Bowerstone. Go to Oakfield, and finish the "Hero Of Strength" quest. When done, return to Old
Town Bowerstone, and go up to the weapons merchant. Make him love you, and if you can,
make him fear you as well (if he hates you, you will get higher prices). Love and Fear give a
15% discount each. With both to the maximum plus the 50% means you will get an 80%
discount. Buy all of his steel weaponry, and go to Fairfax Gardens, where all merchants have
between a 35% and 40% markup in prices. Sell those items to the weapons merchant there. Do
not make them Hate, Fear, or Love you because this will decrease the amount they buy the
weapons. This will turn 5,000 gold into 20,000 gold. Sleep for 24 hours at a pub, and repeat the
process. If he has not restocked with steel weaponry, sleep for 24 hours again. Check in with him
each time you wake up. He will definitely be restocked after two days sleep. Basically, you are
becoming a trader. You can own everything in a matter of a few hours, because you can get well
over 100,000 gold in under 10 minutes. Also, if you find steel weapons with two augment slots,
make sure you keep one ranged weapon and one melee weapon for yourself. Weapons with two
augment slots are difficult to find in stores.
When playing the game for the first time, you may be prompted to update it with an online
download. Do not accept this download, and continue to play the game. This trick must be done
with an unpatched game. When you reach Bowerstone Market, do not walk to the clock tower.
Instead, do the Blacksmith job until you have a decent amount of gold (15,000 to 20,000 gold
recommended). Quit the job, and buy only the cheap houses in Bowerstone Market or
Bowerstone Slums. Rent out those houses with 0% added to rent. Once done, save, and quit the
game. Go to the Xbox 360 Dashboard when offline. Go to your system settings, and set the date
to thirty days or one month later. Start the game again. Select the appropriate saved game file,
and continue. After the game resumes, you should receive a large sum of gold from rent.
Continue to buy and rent out more houses, and set the system time one month ahead until you
have about 4 million gold. You can now buy all properties in Albion and eventually get the
"Ruler Of Albion" achievement.
Note: This trick requires the full download of Fable 2 Pub Games. Play that game until you have
an extremely high debt (any amount, but you can only do this trick once -- so a very high number
is recommended). Then, start Fable 2. This trick must be done with an unpatched game; do not
accept any online updates. Go to the Bowerstone town square, and make enough gold to buy the
cow and Corset Inn (for example, by blacksmithing). After you buy the inn, go into Fable 2 Pub
Games, and merge your Fable 2 character with the character that has the extremely high debt.
Save the game, then return to Fable 2. You should gain all the money you owe in debt as gold
because you now own the inn that one of the game masters is in.
In Westcliff, when Barnum wants you to invest in his project for 5,000 gold, do so. In
approximately ten years Westcliff will not be poverty stricken or slummy; it will be wealthy, and
he will give you 15,000 gold.
Easy love
An easy and fast way to get people in love with you, male and or female, is to buy the "Noble"
clothes from the tailors. Put on all the clothing, and almost everyone will be in love with you.
The clothes will increase their attraction to you by a large amount. This is useful for the "Till
Death Do Us Part" quest because the "lover" should be instantly in love with you. You should
not have to worry about making them love you. It does not look the best on your character, but
everyone will love you.
Find a house that you want. Learn who the owner is. To maintain a good personality, get people
to follow you, and let bandits or other enemies kill the house's owner. For a bad personality, turn
safety off, and kill the owner. The price will go down by approximately 250 gold.
The Daichi
After getting to Brightwood Tower, climb to the top. When you reach the Cullis gate, turn left
(by the stairs). You will see a part where the railing has crumbled. Jump from there. You will go
down a well into Archon's Knot. Behind you is a Gargoyle. Follow the path into a room. On the
right, the wall has crumbled away. Shoot the glowing Orb in the wall. Go through the newly
unlocked door. Go up the stairs, and enter a new room with a spiked floor. On the far wall, there
are candles and skulls. The candles detail the safe path through the spikes. Hit the Orb, and go up
the stairs. Run past the statue for now, and go up the stairs. Step on the glowing floor tile. Go
back down, and imitate the statues expression (for example, the roar). Hit the now free Orb, and
return to the upstairs room. On this floor, the candles and skulls have fallen. Make your way to
the right, and use Slow Time to avoid the spikes. You cannot walk on tiles which the spikes
appear; ignore the key for now. Go upstairs, open the chest, then return downstairs. You will find
the spikes are now deactivated. Get the key. Go back up and out the door to Brightwood. Once
outside, go right. The chest there contains the legendary weapon "The Diachi", which is a katana
stronger than a master level with Devastation, Bewitching, and Killerwatt Augments.
The Hammerthyst
The Hammerthyst is very easy to obtain if you have the "Blow A Kiss" expression. Go to
Oakfield, and blow a kiss at the Demon Door. The Hammerthyst is a slow speed blunt weapon,
with 78.0 damage and the Barkskin augmentation. Barkskin makes you more resistant to
damage, but less resistant to scarring. It looks like a large purple crystal mounted to a two
handed shaft, with golden motes pulsating around it.

The books hidden in the Knothole Island bonus downloadable content can be found at the
following locations:
Volume III: At the Sun Shrine, go to the room with the circular pool of blood in the
center and meat hanging from the ceiling. Break the wall next to the pressure plate to find
the book.
Volume IV: At the Storm Shrine, as soon as you enter, look to the right behind the rocks
to find the book.
Volume V: Move toward the Sun Key digging location from Knothole. Get on the path
that leads upwards and is next to the gravestones out of the town. Follow the path through
the canyon and into the forest until you reach two large boulders on either side of it.
Move behind the boulder on the right side (a dig spot is also here) to find the book behind
the trees.
Volume VI: Search under the Warrior's Rest House after leaving the Sun Totem Shrine to
find the book.
Volume VII: The book is located behind the Sun Shrine entrance. Follow the path out of
town that runs under the houses. Follow it past the broken boat on the right side; the Sun
Shrine entrance is in front of you.
Volume VIII: Go behind the gravestones in the town. Search the bottom left corner, to
the left of the crypt, to find the book.
Volume IX: The book is located behind ruins on the path just after you exit the Sun
Shrine. From the teleporter, follow the path under the arch. When you get to the top of
the "S"-shaped winding path, the ruin will be to your left, next to the small pond.
Volume X: The book is located behind a rock to your right, just as you exit the Storm
Shrine.
After successfully completing the game, your scars will disappear and your eyes will return. You
may now donate a large sum of gold to the Temple Of Light to gain youth. The larger the sum of
gold, the younger you will become (with the exception of childhood). You may now also buy
Castle Fairfax in the Fairfax Garden outside of Bowerstone. By doing the Fairfax castle quest
after purchasing the castle itself, you will find a bed. Resting in it will make your character
healthier and increase his or her attractiveness, ultimately leading to the full restoration of your
character's youth and beauty.
Use the following trick to get a second character a good start in the game:
1. Have a character that is far in the game, able to purchase, and has a large income of
approximately 10,000 or more gold every five minutes. Also, have him or her to the point
of being able to purchase the ultimate level potions from the potion vendor in Bowerstone
(for example, Thunder Strength, etc.).
2. Purchase multiple numbers of the different potions (about five of each recommended),
then save the game, and quit. Allow at least six hours of real time to elapse.
3. Resume the game, and load your advanced character. Immediately after he or she has
finished loading but before they get all the gold that has been building up while the game
was off, press Start on controller two to bring in a playable henchman. Set it up so that it
is connected to the file of the character you want to boost.
4. Adjust the output so the henchman gets all the gold and experience, then play as usual.
All the money that you have collected since the last time you played should go directly to
your henchman (the character you want to build up).
5. Go into your potions. Use all of the potions you have for experience, and all the
experience will go to the second character.
6. Next, have the second player quit so the game saves all the experience points and gold
to the character to be boosted. If desired, you can also purchase abilities before you have
the second player quit.
7. This is the most important step. Have the first player quit without saving the game.
8. When the title screen appears, go back to the advanced character again. He or she will
still have all the gold and potions. Repeat steps 3 through 7 as many times as desired.
During the quest, wait until Charles asks you to help him open the tomb/coffin. After the
Hollowmen start appearing, you can kill Charles, take his hat, and still finish the quest and get
the reward. Alternately, you can just kill all the Hollowmen and make it to the exit with Charles
and get a different dialog from his gran.
Crucible revisited
When you return to the Crucible ten years later (after the Tattered Spire), it is best to have some
five star skills. Included in these skills should be Slow Time and Chaos. You should also have a
five star Fireball attack so that you can kill most enemies around you through most of the rounds
and get Perfect Rounds. When you get to the eighth and final round against the Rock Troll, wait
for the Spores to appear, then dodge the rocks, and cast five star Slow Time. Run up to the troll,
cast five star Chaos, then take out your fastest and most powerful ranged gun. Shoot the Spores
until they are all gone before Chaos wears off. Alternately, cast a five star Lightning or Fire
attack (non-enemy targeting) and hope that it will destroy all the Spores instantly. Otherwise,
repeat the process until the Troll is dead in under one minute fifty seconds.
Confused dog
Go to Rookridge after purchasing or finding the rubber ball item and after defeating Dash. Stand
in the center of the bridge facing the waterfall, and throw the rubber ball as far as possible. If it
lands in the waterfall slightly to the right, it will appear under the bridge out of view. Your dog
will then become confused and will begin running in circles trying to get to it. To make your dog
stop, punish or praise him. Note: Throwing another rubber ball will not work, as he will not see
it.
Note: This glitch may require a few attempts. Take some villagers to the Temple Of Shadows to
sacrifice them. After you have pulled the lever, quickly turn off Safety mode. If you are lucky,
you will get Shadow Creature as a sacrifice. Quickly kill the villagers before they disappear.
They will remain there as Shadow Creatures and not disappear. Their body will continue to
smoke as a Shadow Creature.
Find the prostitute on the east side of Bloodstone. Press A when near her to buy the Lionhead
Studios logo. You can show it off by using the "Trophy" command.
Go to Oakfield, and visit the sculptor. Choose any town where you would like the statue erected.
When she tells you to do a pose, go to your list of Actions. Choose "Social", and select the Lute.
After finishing the pose, go to the town that has the statue. If you chose Oakfield, simply walk
out to Rookridge, then walk back out. When you reach the statue, it should appear as if you are
playing air guitar.
HP Lovecraft reference
In the "The Summoners" side quest, two brothers read from the Necronomicon and summon the
dead. The Necronomicon originally appears in the works of HP Lovecraft, a master of horror
fiction.
Play the "Treasure Island Of Doom" quest. When you get to Treasure Island, look at the shape of
the island in the middle of the lake. It is shaped like that of the lion in the Lionhead Studio logo.
When playing the Knothole Island bonus downloadable content, the names on the gravestones in
the cemetery refer to Lionhead Studios employees.
Go to the furniture store in the Barrow Stone marketplace. Go up the stairs to where you see
three cabinets. Search them, and one will be described as "No, no wintry wonder place. Just an
empty closet."
Maximize one attack spell. Go into the Arena, and only use magic during a Humanoid round
(Bandits, Hobbes, etc.).
Get your Dextrous Style to 3, then go to The Crucible. Reach the undead round, and kill all but
one. Use a Time Stop (any rank, though some may require more attempts). Hold Y to aim at him,
then hold RT and press the Left Analog-stick Left or Right, then shoot to blow off one weapon.
Aim at the other weapon, and shoot it off. Then, aim up, and take out his head.
Do every Renown quest possible or go to a bard, and draw a large crowd. Have him play a song,
then continue to flash your best trophy. Note: Doing this for long enough will make people hate
you.
When you first arrive in Rookridge and reach the broken bridge, jump when prompted, and
immediately hold LT to look at the three bandits. When you think you are just about to hit the
water, release LT. If timed correctly, you will get the "The Cliff Diver" achievement.
Go up to a person with a partner in Co-op mode. Make sure to have them targeted, then begin an
expression at the same time, and hold it to perform a "Perfect" expression. Release the
expression at the same time to get the achievement.
Note: You can only get one doll per account. You will need to trade dolls with friends. To get
this, score between 150 and 174 on the Westcliff shooting range game. Normal shots award 1
point, and headshots award 3 points.
You will need Brutal Styles at level 3 or higher. Find an open area, and start swinging. You must
time these correctly so that a blue line appears behind your weapon after swinging. The moment
the weapon appears with the blue line and reaches the peak of the attack, press X again to
continue the chain. Repeat this quickly to five consecutive attacks to get the achievement. Note:
Sometimes you must do more than five chains; if it does not work after five, keep doing it until
you get the achievement.
Buy a fair number of houses or stalls, and raise the tax to 100%. This should quickly raise your
Corruption level.
Go to Bloodstone, and play the Bloodstone game at the Game Master. Bet on the outer arch, then
place bets on "4", "5", "6", and "7". This game is played by betting to lose, not win. It may take a
while to get the achievement, but it is easy. Note: You must have played every kind of game first
to get this achievement. The games are Fortunes Tower, Keystone, and Spinnerbox.
Play Keystone, and only place arch bets. You might lose your total winnings sometimes, but you
should build it up slowly. Try betting on the inner Keystone bet slot to try to make it hit the
Keystones less.
Dye all of your clothing and hair black using Moonless Midnight Dye.
Gain the Vulger Thrust expression. Strip your hero of all his clothing, and go up to any villager
and use a perfect Vulgar Thrust on him or her. Note: The person you do this to will report you to
the guards; be prepared to pay a fine or do service.
Find someone that does not die no matter how many times they are shot. Make sure you have the
ability to aim at different parts of their body. Aim at their groin, and shoot it 25 times to get "The
Nutcracker" achievement.
Donate lots of money to the Temple Of Light or sacrifice many innocents to the Temple Of
Shadows.
Have a friend send you a gift or get a villager to love you. Eventually a greenish-yellow symbol
will appear above their head. Hold LT to target them, and press A to receive their gift.
Send any gift to another player in the game. This is easy to get if you set online Orbs to
"Everyone" instead of "Friends Only".
Have a bard sing a tune with at least five villagers around you. Begin flashing your trophy to lure
them near, then continue to use the Dance expression until gained. Note: If you attract too many
people, the game will lag noticeably.
Play fetch with your dog. You need the rubber ball to do this. It is obtained from the first dig
location after leaving the Gypsy Camp.
Put all five star furniture in one house, and sell it. Make sure to search for bedside tables, as they
are easy to overlook.
Go to the bookstore in Bowerstone. Go upstairs, and steal from one of the bookcases.
Take any person who likes a certain area to the area, and use the expressions he or she likes
there.
Get the "Come Back To My Place" expression. Go to Bloodstone, and use it on two prostitutes.
Take them to an inn or your home, and select the bed. Note: You will have a high chance of
getting a sexually transmitted disease; make sure to use protection.
You must use expressions on a target that is attacking you. Find any bandits, and kill all but one
of them. Stand away from him, and use the Fun, Flirt, Rude, and Scary expressions in that order
on him, while he is targeted. This is difficult to do and may take some time. Alternately, if you
have completed the game and have enough money to buy Fairfax Catle, do so. Start the quest,
and when you get to the throne room with the bandits, stand behind the throne, as they wil not be
able to attack you. Target them, and use the expressions.
Start Level 1 of the Blacksmith job, and do not quit after getting all 100 gold. Keep going until
your multiplier is 10 because this is the slowest job level.
At the end of the game when you are back in the Spire to get your revenge against Lucien, make
sure you save, then continue the game. Once done, face and kill Lucien. Select one of the three
choices Theresea presents you with. After you unlock the achievement, immediately reset the
Xbox 360. Choose to continue the game to get the next achievement until all three have been
selected and unlocked. You can reset the Xbox 360 a fourth time to select the choice you really
wanted.
