Fable Hints

How can I raise the cash for my passage?

  • 1 of 17: Negotiate with the captain.
  • 2 of 17: You've got to Give him at least eight gold pieces to get him to set sail to the Engulfed Fortress. 
  • 3 of 17: But nowhere on your travels can you find more than five or six gold pieces.
  • 4 of 17: Then you'll simply have to get them from two ~different~ locations --- the order is immaterial.
  • 5 of 17: You'll have to find those two places.
  • 6 of 17: You can't do anything there until you have dealt with the Snake Demon.
  • 7 of 17: Look at the bones to the left of Angor.
  • 8 of 17: Pick up five gold pieces.  *** There seem to be two independent programming flaws here. ***  [A] You may need more cash than this.  You can pick up these five gold pieces over and over again, but your total never increases!  If you want more, you'll have to get them elsewhere.  [B] Under some circumstances, your gold pieces may be described as having been acquired elsewhere -- a (completely unintentional) hint maybe?
  • 9 of 17: That's not sufficient cash for the captain.
  • 10 of 17: Did you find any coins in the Gate-keeper's Shack?
  • 11 of 17: They are rather inconspicuously hidden in one of the piles of hay!
  • 12 of 17: Examine the hay and find six gold coins.
  • 13 of 17: The captain's absent-minded and has already forgotten what he requested earlier.
  • 14 of 17: He consults his books which have been marked down by the cabin boy.
  • 15 of 17: The captain now demands only eight gold pieces.
  • 16 of 17: Give them to him.
  • 17 of 17: He thanks you for the (unintentional) extra tip, and the ship sails/flies.
