Fable: The Lost Chapters Hints
Hobbe Cave
1 of 17: This quest is available at the map table after you finish the Orchard Farm Gold Quest.
2 of 17: To start on this quest, you have to travel through the Greatwood all the way to the Greatwood Cullis Gate area, and then go from there to the Rose Cottage area. (Note that you'll have to deal with the Bandit Toll bronze quest if you haven't been through the Greatwood Gorge before.)
3 of 17: Go talk to old granny in the cottage by interacting with its closed door.
4 of 17: Before you run off to rescue the woman's grandson, check around the Rose Cottage area for stuff you can get.
5 of 17: Leave the Rose Cottage area and head down to the Greatwood Caves.
6 of 17: To get into the Hobbe Cave, find the bashable thorny plants near the Greatwood Caves demon door and bash them. The entrance to the cave is just beyond.
7 of 17: After you bash all the hobbes in the starting cave area, go through the door up near the north end to find a bandit who's been trapped by the hobbes, and who will join you as a henchman after you kill the hobbes that are trapping him.
8 of 17: The next door down leads to the cave larder, which has a 5-key silver chest in it that contains a Will Master's Elixir. Drinking it will permanently increase your magic line, so you may consider using the "hero save" gimmick to replay the quest up to this point several times.
9 of 17: The area past the last door in the entrance cave has a couple of treasure chests in it, one of which includes another flame augmentation. Add it to whichever weapon didn't get the one from the bandit toll area in Greatwood Gorge.
10 of 17: After that, it's an enemy-free tunnel followed by the final area, where the evil fairy has the old woman's grandson imprisoned in a magic forcefield.
11 of 17: The fairy negotiates at first, and evil characters can trade her another soul for the boy. The easiest way to do this is to make sure the bandit you can rescue from an earlier cave area survives up until this point.
12 of 17: Otherwise, you can get in a free shot at the fairy as she floats there. If the shot is powerful enough, it'll kill her instantly. Otherwise, you'll have to dodge or quickly kill the hobbes she summons while hitting her with more arrows or magic spells.
13 of 17: TIP: If you want to dig up the Silver Key that's in this area, do it while the fairy is still friendly.
14 of 17: When the boy is released from the forcefield, tell him to stay put as you hack your way to the exit. When all the hobbes in the area are dead, quickly go get the boy and move on to the next area. You'll need to repeat this process (and possibly use the Heal Life spell) to get through all the cave areas with the boy alive.
15 of 17: After you make it out of the cave with the boy, return to the Rose Cottage area and talk to granny to turn him in and get the reward. (He runs away right afterward, but that doesn't hurt you any.)
16 of 17: NOTE: Now that the cottage is open, you can go in and raid it for a couple of minor items.
17 of 17: TIP: You can always return to the Hobbe Cave areas to find lots of hobbes to hack in order to gain XP and get a high combat multiplier.
