Fable Hints

Chax, the Fire Demon

  • 1 of 22: There's nothing you can do here except to Look at and Examine Chax himself.
  • 2 of 22: Talk to him, but take care. 
  • 3 of 22: Most dialog paths will get you burnt to a frazzle!
  • 4 of 22: About the only thing you can do is to incinerate him.
  • 5 of 22: There's plenty of boiling lava near to the Grim Reaper.
  • 6 of 22: But the "lava is boiling at 3000 degrees Fahrenheit and will vaporize anything in two nanoseconds".
  • 7 of 22: You need a receptacle which can withstand that temperature.
  • 8 of 22: There is such a thing around.  You've quite likely found it already.
  • 9 of 22: It's a cup, which only now are you told is made of a special heat resistant material called kryptonite.
  • 10 of 22: Use the cup on the river:  A hot lava-cocktail!
  • 11 of 22: Throw the cup of boiling lava at Chax and he really gets burnt up!
  • 12 of 22: Look at and Examine the rack, skinning slab, Fire Demon's pit, etc.
  • 13 of 22: Look at the catacombs where all spare body parts are stored.
  • 14 of 22: Look at and Examine the cavity on the right hand side of the catacombs.
  • 15 of 22: Crawl through there.
  • 16 of 22: But you can't get out -- you've forgotten something!
  • 17 of 22: Have another good look around.
  • 18 of 22: Near the middle of the screen on the extreme right and not easily noticed, is a red ruby.
  • 19 of 22: Pocket it.
  • 20 of 22: If you wish, you can place the emerald, the diamond, the sapphire and the ruby into the Mecubarz Key; or you can leave this till later.
  • 21 of 22: Return and exit through the same gap in the catacombs.
  • 22 of 22: You're again in front of the gates of the Fire Demon's stronghold.
