The character does not run by default. You must press the B button to run. Before you talk to the character that starts the race, be sure you are facing in the direction you need to run. When the timer begins immediately start running and be sure to avoid everyone in your path. Run straight around to where the door is and line yourself up directly down the middle of the rock bridge. As soon as you touch the door (you don't have to select it) push the stick in the opposite direction and you should go straight back across. Then just avoid all people on the way back and as soon as you see the dialog balloon (aiming at the race guy) hit the button to end the challenge.
Shoplifting
Stealable items can be found in the shops. To attempt to steal them, you can target the item, and then use the ‘shoplift’ expression.
Food
Some food types have special abilities; they might change day to night, improve some of your attributes or change your alignment.
Cause Distractions While Committing Crimes
You'll need to pal around with some sidekicks who will do your dirty work for you. Have the sidekicks fight guards to cause a distraction, which will result in NPC's running away, giving you all the time you need to commit crimes such as stealing etc.
Pick Locks Of Houses
Wait until late in the evenings or during the night, as the chance of being caught is reduced to an absolute minimum. Pay attention to the Eye of Awareness while committing a crime; as it might prevent you from being caught.
Commit Easier Crimes
Make sure a non player character is NOT looking in your direction when you commit a crime and you'll get away with it.
Bribe Guards
You can pay for the guards "break time" which is a great way to commit crimes without getting caught.
Marry A Man
Eventually you will be able to marry. You can choose a man or a woman.
Easy Money
In the world of Albion, one can purchase houses. This cheat not only requires you to do such, but have at some money to your name (5,000 should cut it) and at least one trophy as well...preferably two. To start, buy a house that has a trophy mount. These can be found in Oakvale, Knothole Glade, etc. I myself purchase the one in Oakvale, for it has two trophy mounts and is rather cheap (5,000). Walk to the sign in the front of your old house, buy the house, and smash the door (Don't worry, this isn't a crime...it's your house), now you can enter the house at anytime until you leave the area. You don't have to upgrade the house at all...just walk to the trophy mounts and set a trophy in each. Exit the house, and sell it by walking over to the sign and so forth. Enter the house once more, and remove your trophies. You can now buy the house for 5,000 once more, unless you upgraded it (The cheat still works...it just won't be fore 5,000).You should get a profit for each time you do this, and the better the trophy, the more money you get. Just remember to purchase the house without trophies mounted and sell it with trophies mounted.
Frying Pan
The treasure clues start you on the dock at orchard farm. They lead you through the apple orchard and down the path towards the barn. At the first barn, dig in between the barn wall and the bales of hey to find the Frying Pan
Sword of Aeons
At the end of the game choose to kill your sister. If you watch the credits you will get to continue playing with the sword of Aeons, a massively powerful weapon.
Continuous Play
Watch the credits at the end of the game to continue playing with your character.
Titles
Ever wonder why you're called a Chicken Chaser?
Not much of a title for an Evil Warlord, or Messiah.
To get a new title, they have special traders found alongs paths, sometimes.
You can get some awsome titles, like Assassin, or Liberator, to "Arseface"
Arseface? Kind of a step down, if you ask me.
Gang-Busting Tips
Okay, being surrounded by hordes of enemies is no fun, no matter how strong you are. To kill them all much quicker, several percautions should be taken:
1- Use Enflame to fry all the nearby enemies, giving you a couple of seconds to come back.
2- Do NOT use thetargeting system. Rather than focus on one, its best to just slash wildy at your foes.
3- Always take care of the weaker ones first. They may be weak, but if your sword, axw or hammer is charged up, ready for a flourish, it can be easily broken.
4- Use Assassin's Rush to move out of the fray, and behind an enemy. Kill him, and try to keep from getting surrounded again.
5- The best technique for getting a little space is Force Push (No, not from Star Wars). Ue this to push all the surrounding enemies back.
Foul language
Ever wonder why the game's M rating includes "Strong language". Its the simple fact that if your character becomes dark enough, he will learn "insult" Use this at any time and your character will say s***.
Mega quick alignment change
To change your alignemt in the blink of an eye, simply go to the Temple of Avo or Skorm. At the temple of Avo, you can donate gold to change your alignment to good. At the temple of Skorm, you can donate gold to change your alignent to evil. Ex- 5000 Gold at the temple of Avo, will give you 519 good points. With enough gold, you can change your set path in an instant.
Hero Save Exploit
In the middle of a quest, if you use a hero save and reload the save, you will start at the beginning of the quest as if you had never begun, and you will retain all items that you obtained during the last run of the quest. This is especially useful in the Arena, where vast amounts of money can be made if used right.
Throw fireballs and shoot arrows simultaneously
Map the Fireball spell to the quick menu's X button. With the bow in-hand, hold the left trigger to target an enemy, then hold the right trigger to access your quick menu, then hold the X button. The Fireball spell should now start to charge in your hand. While still holding left trigger and X, release the right trigger. Instead of throwing the fireball or cancelling the spell, your character will begin to draw an arrow. When you've pulled back all the way, release the X button and you'll shoot both the arrow and the fireball at roughly the same time. This glitch may work with other spells, preferably anything with a charge/release effect such as Fireball or a repeat-while-held effect such as Lightning.
Experience
The easiest way to max out your character in Fable can be done right after the mission where you save your mother. Go back to the "Cliffside path" (up through the Lychfield graveyard). There are infinite zombies to kill here. The best way to kill them is to power up the Enflame spell and have a lot of will potions.
Cussing in Witchwood
In the Witchwood Cullis Gate area, there are four stones with a letter representing each stone. You have to spell the Demon Door's name correctly which is H-I-T-S. However, if you enter the dirty four letter word instead, two Balverines will attack. Spell it again, and the voice that pronounces each letter will follow it up with saying the word.
Easy Way To Win Race To Demon Gate
Once you get the stick as a weapon, simply head over to the boy making the challenge to run to the Demon Gate and back in 50 seconds. Stand beside him and hit him with the stick. The impact will push the boy over a little each time. Do this until you get lectured by Maze. Then, repeat the process. This cuts off a lot of distance from the run, making it easy to win this challenge. As an added bonus, if you want to be an evil character, you also get evil points for doing this.
Get the title "Necromancer"
Donate enough people to the temple of Skorm and you'll eventually get the title Necromancer.
A little extra gold along the way
If you're at Twinblade's Camp. Make your way to Twinblade's Tent. Once he's down for te count, I don't care what you do with him, go into his tent and loot all the tresure chests and barrels. You should find around 1,000 gold and a rare stone or two.
The Sentinus and Skorm's Longbow
The Sentinus is a legendary Greatmace given to you by the god Avo if you give lots of gold to his temple. How much, I'm not sure, but I'd estimate over 50K.
Skorm's Longbow is a legendary Longbow given to you by the devil Skorm if you sacrifice enough people to him. I'm not sure how many, but I'd estimate 50, possibly 100 people.
The Harbinger
This is the best LONGSWORD in the game. Not the best weapon, but a very good one.
Travel to the temple of Avo and pull it from the stone. To do this, your physique must be MAX. If that does not work, upgrade your health and toughness. That's garunteed to work.
Go to the sword, and you will be able to pull it out and wield The Harbinger.
"Sacred" White Robes
Okay, for this all you need is a Rose or some kind of gift. Go to Rose Cottage (Its on a quest, so if you have trouble finding it, find it on a quest). Find the demon door and hear about his broken heart. Give him a gift and he'll open. Inside, you'll find the Secret Haven. Locate a chest with a Will User's White Suit.
These robes make you look holy, and greatly boost your attaction rating and alignment.
Secret Hairstyle
After you fight the Wasp Queen look for a hairstyle card on the bench.
Walk through walls
Assign the spade to a shortcut on the D-pad, then put your back against the fence or door you are planning on pushing through. Then proceed to dig with your back against the wall until you have succesfully gone through the object.
Note:You must be on diggable ground to perform this trick.
Note2: If you get stuck in an invisible wall click the left thumbstick to sneak until you can move through the wall.
Huge Characters
Use Berserk then save your game. When you load the game your character will be huge until you cast Berserk again.
Health Elixir Glitch
When you get to Orchard Farm, for the Hobbe killing contest, or whatever, go to a small pond near the farm and fish. You find a Health Elixir, which boosts your max health. Hero Save, and start the quest again. The item will still be there, waiting for you to fish it out again.
What the alignment does
This is how the alignment (in full effect) will affect your character.
Light:
Blue Eyes
Light Blonde Hair
A Transparent Halo
Butterflies will flutter around you
People will fall in love with you
Dark:
Red, glowing eyes
Gray, balding hair
Large Horns
Flies will circle you
Red smoke will rise where you stand
Pale Skin
People will run in terror from you
Bright Plate Armor Warning
If you're a majestic hero, you're probably in search of some bright plate armor. Only the Torso and Gloves can be bought outside the Witchwood Arena, so if you have any brain cells, you'll buy the Greaves and Boots. A certain trader carries the Bright Plate Chest and Gauntlets.
Pacifist Exception
In certain mission, one boast you can take is Pacifist. This means you cannot KILL anyone. NO problem. Just gear up with a weaker than average weapon, and beat the crap out of them until they're near-dead. Remember, if you don't KILL anyone, you're fine. Force Push and a weak Enflame work great.
Easy way to kill Undead
Undead are weak to both Fire and Silver. If you have a weapon with both Fire and Silver Augmentations, use that. You're bound to kill them twice as quick.
Unlmited Experience
Go to the Lychfield Graveyard, and in nearly any part of it, just walk around. Undead will continually sprout from the ground. They never stop,and give mass experience. Kill them until satisfied.
The Katana Hiryu
The Katana Hiryu is probably the strongest light weapon in Fable. It can be found in Lady Grey's Bedroom, and requires 15 Silver keys to open. One silver key is actually in her bed.
Hero's Guild Demon door
There is always the question "How can I open the door at the Hero's guild? I'm completely light, and everything!
Bring your lamp. It will open only for the lamp.
Easy Attractive +100
To get that ol' complexion looking nice to the ladies, with no tattoos involved (those are optional). Get these hair styles:
The Pudding Basin- Hair
Power Moustache- Moustache
Multon Chop Beard- Beard
Ladies will fall for you now!
Defeating Maze
Maze can be a real pain in the neck, but with a lot of Will Energy, or Will Potions, he's a snap to beat. First off, you will need certain things:
Battle Rush (The move that propels you forward, knocking down whatever is in your path, preferably high level).
A good amount of Health. He's very hard to hit at the beginning, and his lightning takes 43 health.
Many Will Potions.
Get close to Mazeand keep using that rush technique. He'll be knocked down. DO NOT give him a chance to get up. Knock him down again the second he gets to his feet. Continue this until he teleports. Now you need to find him and do the same thing. He has an explosion attack, but oddly enough, it won't hit you while you do this.
Keep rushing him until he's dead. It takes a long time, but is worth it.
Tooth Fairy Unlimited Money Cheat
First thing you have to buy a home. The next thing is optional upgrade the home. Next you have to rent out the home. When you have occupants living in the home sleep in the bed for 10 days. Now go outside and infront of the home should be 3 bags of money collect them. Repeat the process to have as much money as you want.
Key in Rose Cottage
Dig in the center of the ring of red flowers next to the Rose Cottage.
More Gold
Buy the house in Oakvale for 5000g. Mount the most expensive trophies you have (hotkey if desired). Smash the door and sell the house. The doorway will be open, allowing you to recollect your trophies, purchase the house, and repeat the process, earning a profit depending on the value of the trophies you mount.
Lady Grey Walkthrough
If you've become the arena champion, lady Grey will tell you of her wanting to marry. She has some options... You, you and, (if you play your cards right) you! Here's what she wants.
Quest 1- She'll ask for something romantic. Something that only she would want. Get her a nice black rose from the local shop of Bowerstone North, and talk to her, giving it as a gift.
Quest 2- Now she wants you to own a house. Walk to Bowerstone south, and buy the place on the east side of town for cheap.
Quest 3- Now she's lost her necklace. Ask the 5 different people around town marked by a green marker about it, and learn that its been stolen in Oakvale. Go to Oakvale's cemetary. Two thieves will converse about something they don't want you to hear. Sneak behind the wall and listen in. Its buried on the beach. Dig for it.
Quest 4- Now she's impressed, all you need to do is... Fight Thunder!? Yes, you need to fight Thunder himself. The fight begins at Headsman's hill, but you will be knocked off into a small cave. Finish him off here.
Now that you've proven your love, take Lady Grey's hand in marriage, and may you live happily ever after.
Get people wasted
Jewels and romantic knick-knack don't exactly tickle your mate's fancy? No problem! Go to the tavern and buy a few rounds for you AND your mate. Give them a few drinks and they'll get drunk.
Easy Good
For a good, nutrious, and utterly vomit-inducing meal, tofu is perfect for that hero who simply can't find the time to save the village AND make love to his wife, tofu will give you five light points for every one you eat.
Easy Evil
To become evil easier, buy some Crunchy chicks from anyone who sells them. Then, when the newborn looks you right in the eyes, with his innocence, the sparkle in its eye, the little thing cuddles up against your chest and then... CHOMP. Its good for an easy 5 evil points.
Quick WILL XP
This is mostly a trick to obtain about 10k - 15k WILL XP for your hero, and it is repeatable, rather quickly.
This is assuming you have Physical Shield, Summon, and are at a place with a lot of badguys, such as the Hobbe Caves. It will also help to have several Will potions, and a powerful weapon (Obsidian, Master, or a unique weapon). Too, if your Summon and Physical Shield is at a higher level, or just have a lot of Will potions to compensate for the mana usage.
Physical Shield is mainly to help you raise your Combat Multiplier without getting hit, therefor having no trouble getting it fairly high.
After you enter the Hobbe Cave Entrance, activate your Physical Shield and fight your way to the Main Chamber. Every time you use a door into a new area, it will halve your combat multiplier. Kill all the hobbes within the Main Chamber, and hastly make your way back into the Hobbe Cave Entrance. Fight your way back to the bottom of the stairs at the entrance, and by that time your combat multiplier should be around 20 to 22.
This is where you use Summon (the spell I've found to be most efficient for this type of trick). That spell uses a very low amount of will for each use, and each time you cast it, gives you 3 Will XP.
While your combat multiplier is as high as you can get it, cast that spell as quickly as you can, repeatedly.
You'll notice that your Will XP goes into the thousands within a few seconds. If your mana gets too low to cast the spell again, use a potion. It helps to turn off your Physical Shield before you begin your Summon spam.
I'm sure this trick can be applied elsewhere, but the Hobbe Caves is the best place I've found so far.
Best wepons cheap
After you battle in the arena, you will have access to North Bowerstone where Lady Grey lives. In the middle of the area, marked in gold, is a shop with a guy that sells rare and powerful weapons like the Master Greatsword and master Longbow for at least 18,000 gold cheaper than that guy at the Hero’s Guild. Be careful what you buy, after you do business with him one time his shop closes and goes up for sale at about 150,000 gold.
How to get the Harbringer
Instead of what is said by an earlier cheat to get the harbringer, you need 5 more physique, 3 more toughness, and 2 more health then the first time you tried to pull the sword from the stone. (Or your stats could be maxxed to get the sword.)
The Murren Artifacts
There are two Murren Artifacts in Fable, and are both incredibly strong. Here is how to get them.
Murren GreatAxe
Found in a Blue Chest, requiring 15 Silver Keys, atop the Hook Coast Lighthouse
Murren Warhammer (My weapon of Choice)
Found as the first chest in the game(unopenable), at the hero's guild, in a blue chest requiring 20 Silver Keys. This weapon has an experience agumentation, so it makes great for upping your stats.
Infinite Experience
When you are versing jack of blades it is always good to have a few resurection phials on hand just so you don't die. When you have defeated jack of blades hero save before you make your decision to kill your sister or not. Then you will have all the experience that you get from killing him when you load the save. Then you will restart back at the heros guild before you have to go and kill jack.
The Ultimate Experience Guide
This trick requires ATLEAT level 2 lightning and massive amounts of Will Potions.
Go to the Greatwood Caves (The area leading you to the Hobbe Cave). You should fight several monsters, then make your way into the Hobbe Cave. Continually use the lightning to hit two enemies. This will drastically increase your magic EXP. Once you have around 18K experience for magic and general combined, SPEND IT ON LIGHTNING. Common sense, if something works, it'll work even better if you upgrade it! Now, you have a stronger lightning that hits 3 foes, simultaneously! Get 48,000 experience (It may sound liek a lot, but it comes surpriseingly quick), and upgrade to Master Lightning. Now, zap the little buggers all day long and upgrade any magic.
Note- Every room full of Hobbes will give you around 8,000 experience if you kill them all with lightning.
Dollmaster's Mace
This is a really good weapon, but hard to get.
1- Acquire an entire set of BRIGHT Plate Armor
2- Acquire an entire set of DARK Will User Robes
3- Have your Bandit Gear ready.
Talk to the Demon Door first with your Bright Plate Armor, then your Dark Will User Robes, then Bandit Gear. It should open, and in a chest in there is the Dollmaster's mace.
Shut the Guildmaster Up!
The Guildmaster can be very annoying, always bugging you about quests,a nd worst of all: your combat multiplier. Perosnally, I've never seen a difference from when it was 0 or 50. To shut him up, you need a combat multiplyer of 30 or more. To get this, you need to have defeated Maze, and be on the way to stop Jack from unleashing the power of the focus sites all over Albion. Here, there are unlimited and in most cases easy enemies. Just kill one afdter another. In time, you'll have a combat multiplier of 30. Guildmaster shoudl say "I see you've MASTERED the combat multiplier." You won't get any stupid messages after that.
Extreme Experience
This little guidecan tell you how to get over 500,000 experience... it's not considered the best because at the time of the game, your stats won't need much improvement.
After you defeat Maze, Jack will be planning an all out attack on Albion, by activating all the focus sites. Your job is to stop him, but along the way you encounter a limitless supply of not only monsters, but allies. For every ally killed,a nother will spawn. The monsters will do the same. These monsters give an extreme amount of experience. You find undead and those minions (The ones with the double-bladed sword). Just kill one after another until satisfied. If you're strong enough, and have good enough weapons, they'll be a pushover. Just kill until happy. I wound up with 563,752 exp from just one focus site.
Flaming Arrowed
This is small glitch that when you fire an arrow into the flame of torches it gets stuck, this also happens in Ladey Grays bedroom and the Secret Havan fireing inbetween two bed posts.
Secret Weapons+Sidquest
Sword of Aeons
At the end of the game, if you opt to kill your sister, watch he end credits in their entirety and you'll be able to continue playing armed with the awesome Sword of Aeons which kills most enemies with one swipe.
Skorn's Bow
If you make a series of sacrifices at the Temple of Skorn at midnight, you'll earn yourself the Skorns Bow. To get 'followers' to the temple easily, hire mercenaries to fight with you and then lead them there.
All Social Moves
TO learn all social moves, everything from apologize to Swear, defeat Jack of Blades. Once he's dead, you'll read the credits DO NOT SKIP THESE. Once the credits finish, you'll be rewarded for your quest, with gold galore, and 20,000 reputation points, as well as Jack's Mask. Confirm the completion of the quet, and you'll once again be in the Guild Center. You'll have learned all social moves.
Max Experience
So you've beat the game and you go through the credits after you've killed your sister to keep playing with the sword of albion, but your not quite all maxed out on your abilities. This one is really easy now that you have the most powerful sword. You need for your absorb shield ability to be at least level two. Make your way to the cliffside path where the undead are in abundance. As soon as you are there use your absorb shield ability and start wacking away at the undead. They will drop magic potions all over the place which is good since the absorb shield drains your magic. Do this consistently for about 45 minutes to achieve your goal. I got my multiplier to 246 and gained 999,999 useable experience not to mention over 200,000 strength, 30,000 will.
Relationship don'ts
Okay, you're in a relationship. You want to get married for whatever reason. Here are some things NOT to do.
Don't hit her. Whatever you do! This is an INSTANT relationship killer.
Don't commit crimes infront of her. Not every woman in this game wants a "Bad boy".
Don't buy her expensive gifts. Roses and chocolates have the same effect as diamonds or rubies.
DO NOT FLIRT WITH CHILDREN!!! It's not only that they don't understand, its just plain nasty.
Don't try for marriage if you don't have a house. No house means no marriage. And no marriage means no sex!
Don't flirt with guards. They don't understand.
Don't use your rude expressions. No one in Albion finds Farting or Belching funny.
Defeat Jack of Blades
This boss, despite his appearance is rather easy.
He'll start fight on ground with the Sword of Aeons. Block and roll under his attacks to get close to him. Hit him and he'll block, so work up a flourish and take his health down. At half health, he'll grow tall and float. Now, go beyond the stone pillars thar rose up, away from Jack. Shoot arrows to lower his health. Jack can summon powerful minions, so lock on and keep stepping to the side. You should avoid the blasts and for a while, the minions, too. When the minions get close to you use Force Push and continue shooting him. Here's where being behind the stones comes in handy. Jack has a move in which it constantly takes health at an unheard of rate. Hide behind the stones to avoid that damage, but now you must fight minions. Continue shooting him, and eventually he'll die, leaving you with a final choice.
Marriage for Cash, Divorce for Darkness
Okay, getting married isn't hard at all. It'll cost a wedding ring, though but you'll gain it back.
Wear your most attractive clothes in town, and try to find someone with a heart over their head. Flirt, Sexy Hero Pose, and Manly Arm Pump are the only three things you need to do to make her love you. Once her heart is huge, it will fade in and out. Give her a wedding ring and it turns golden. Buy a house and lead her there. She'll ask to get married. Say yes and a cut scene appears and you'll find that you have a dowry of several thousand. Once married, hit her. You'll be divorced almost immediately and gain 600 Dark points.
