Fable 2

Go to Oakfield and visit the sculptor. Choose any town you would like to have the statue put up. When she tells you to do a pose, go to your list of Actions. Choose "Social", then select the lute. After finishing the pose, go to the town that will have that statue. If you chose Oakfield, simply walk out to Rookridge, then walk back out. When you get to the statue, it will as if you are playing and air guitar.

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.

Note: The following glitch has been fixed with an online patch. However, it is still possible to encounter this problem during game play with an unpatched game. Go to Oakfield to speak to the Abbot. He will tell you he wants someone who is more famous. Do not leave the Temple or skip the conversation until the Abbot finishes talking. If you do, the Abbot will not give you the information to start the quest "A Bridge Too Far", and the person you need to meet to start the quest will not appear. The Abbot will no longer give you any information. If this happens in an unpatched game, you must restart your game. There is no more story progression from this point on if you encountered this glitch.

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.

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 wipe out 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.

When you first arrive in Rookridge and reach the broken bridge, jump when prompted to 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 unlock the "Cliff Diver" achievement.

At the end of the game when you are back in the Spire to get your revenge against Lucien, make sure that you save and 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 and restart 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 to begin with afterwards.

An easy and not-so-cheap way to raise lots of experience is to simply donate money to the Temple of Light. Donations of 1,000 or 5,000 gold will earn you general experience for each donation. Do this over and over again to max out your abilities. It will just cost lots of cash!

Purchase an Experience Potion from a vendor at either Browerstone or Westcliff. 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 turn 62,500 experience points and earn 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).

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.

Here’s a great way to make lots of money. First, purchase the weapons stall in Bowerstone Old Town. Purchase weapons at your own shop, which should be discounted for you by 39%, and then go to the blacksmith at Bowerstone Market and sell the goods to him for a hefty profit (the profit margin will vary depending on how the economy is doing, the scarcity of the goods, et cetera). As long as you restock your shop every few days, you can do this indefinitely for major profits.

Here’s yet another technique for infinite experience. Simply create and load up a co-op partner character. This will start this new character with identical abilities to your character that already exists. Using this second character, unlearn all of his or her abilities, which will generate the experience used on those abilities. Transfer the experience over to your main character. Repeat this process as much as you want!

To fix this glitch, have another player join in Co-op mode. Have the other player turn safety off and start attacking either villagers or guards next to player one's frozen character. The guard will then hit player one, which unfreezes the character and allows player one to move freely again.

When you are in blood stone, on the east side there is a hooker. When you are near this hooker she turns green, indicating that you can purchase from her. When you push A, a menu comes up and you can buy the lionhead game logo and show it off using the trophy command.

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 about 250 gold.

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, is able to purchase, and have 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. 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 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 that the henchmen gets all the gold and all the experience, then play as usual. All the money that you have collected since the last time you played goes directly to your henchmen (the character you want to build up).
5. Go into your potions. Use all of the potions that you have for experience and all the experience will go to the second character.
6. After you have finished taking care of that, have the second player quit so that the game saves all the experience points and gold to the character to be boosted. If desired you can also purchase abilities. Then, quit that second character.
7. This is the most important step. For 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.

In the side quest "The Summoners", 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.

Once you get into Bowerstone Market walk to Town Square. Once there you will find a potion shopkeeper on the left hand side. Walk around the right side of the buildings there and down an alley to find a house known as Monster Manor. Sleep in this manor to gain its benefit (+1 star of Physique) Once you gain this benefit, go to your abilities list, select physique and hit Y to unlearn it. You will find that the bonus star from the house does not disappear, but the experience is given to you anyway. You can repeat this process over and over, the more stars you have in physique the more exp you get each time. This experience is general experience and can be applied to any skills.

Wait until your character is at least somewhat leveled up. Plug in a second controller and begin a co-op game without using a second profile. Using the second controller, go to your henchman's abilities and discard all of them, returning the experience to the pool. Then quit out of the co-op game. You should find that all the "leftover" experience has been transfered to your hero. Repeat ad nauseum. *Note: Your co-op henchman will have the same abilities that you do, so the stronger the hero the more abilities there are to sell off and thus more experience.

In the side quest "Treasure Island of Doom", the Lionhead Studios Lion can be found once you get to the treasure island. Look at the island in the middle of the lake and it is in the shape of the Studio's Lionhead logo.

When you buy a property you have the option of renting it out and earning money every five minutes. That five minutes is real-time, which means you don’t even have to be playing the game in order for the time to pass. Better yet, you can set the clock of your 360 system forward and reap the benefits—try setting the system’s clock forward a year and the next time you turn on the game you’ll earn rent for a full, real-time year.

According to user Dargus, this glitch might not work. The game seems to set a cap of how much gold can be earned offline, and once five-hundred minutes has passed, your money growth will permanently stunt. Keep this in mind when attempting this technique.

When returning from the Tattered Spire, if you go to see your husband or wife before going to Hammer your spouse will no longer appear in your marital home, but still take his or her daily allowance. To fix this, invest all or as much of your gold as possible into real estate (so you can get it back), leaving you with as little as possible. Keep sleeping (works best at seven days) until you are broke, and your spouse is unhappy is going to leave you. Return to your marital home and your spouse should have reappeared.

After buying a property, rent it out to earn cash every five minutes. This is real time so you still can earn payments while you're not playing the game.

You can also adjust your clock and reap the rewards. Try adjusting your clock for a year and have your earnings multiplied by 105,190 times!

Here’s another way to make easy money. Purchase as many weapons as you can in Bowerstone and Old Town (preferably places you don’t own), and sell them to the traders in Fairfax Garden. Your profit margin should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% when you do this, but can go as high as 70% if you own the stores. Furthermore, doing this will increase the overall value of your properties! So it’s a win-win situation!

Note:This 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.

After successfully completing the game your scars will disappear and your eyes will return. In doing so 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.

Find and activate the following sculpture plinths, then go to the Oakvale sculptor to have them created to gain Renown.

Oakfield: Near the Sandgoose Inn.
Fairfax Castle: On the grounds in the circular water feature.
Brightwood: North part of map next to the gate and ruined castle.
Westcliff: Next to the middle of the map near the shooting range.
Bloodstone: On the waterfront/docks.

Complete each achievement to get the allotted gamerscore.

Gave either level 4 or 5 Time Stop. Note: Lower levels might work, but not give the same result. Also have the ability to do head shots. Use Time Stop then headshot a villager. Their head will be float in mid-air for a short time. Quickly go over and run into it. The head fly off in a single direction without falling until Time Stop ends. When Time Stop ends, the head will fall back to the ground.

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. Notice that you now have a speed bonus. Press Start and go into your "Skills" menu. Go to "Skill" and notice "Speed" has one Star. Press Y, A(2) and notice that you have removed experience from Speed into General experience, but the star remains. Keep doing this until you have enough for Rank 2, then Rank 3, and finally Rank 4. Finally, proceed to do this until you have enough General experience to buy out all the skills, strength, and will skills. You will now be maxed out on everything.

Go to the Temple of Light. Perform the "Unlimited Gold" glitch 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.

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 Bowestone market or Bowerstone slums. Rent out those houses with 0% added to rent. Once done, save and quit the game. Go back to your 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 very 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 unlock the "Ruler Of Albion" achievement.

Buy some real estate in game, such as a food vendor stall or a 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 out 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, 2005 and 12:15 a.m., adjust the clock to December 31, 2025, and 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.

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.

After you complete the "Donate to the Temple of Light" quest and receive the Rising Sun Legendary 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. Do this as many times as desired for money or to be used as gifts.

Go to www.fable2.com. There is a 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
Book and Dye: Left + Evil + first option + Evil + third option
Three Piece Chicken Suit: Left + Evil + first option + Good + second option

In Bowerstone Old Town, to left of the stall "Old Town Gift Stall" is a door. You can knock on it but not open it without violence. When you do, you will see nothing but a wall behind it.

To open this Demon Door you must bring a large audience to see him. A group of about ten people should do. Once you have your followers, fast travel to Brightwood Tower and use the Cullis Gate on top of the tower to warp to Wraithmarsh. Then, just walk up to The Demon door a short distance down the path and wait about two minutes for him to finish his speech. He will then open up and you may enter. The prize that awaits you is in an area called "Terry Cotter's Army" (a reference to the Terra Cotta Army). Go through the house and into the cave out back to discover a cave filled with statues (Terry Cotter's Army). Make your way through the statues to find a chest containing The Perferator, a legendary turret rifle.
