Fable: The Lost Chapters Hints

How can I get the warden's key?

  • 1 of 10: After you win the race and regain control in the warden's office, find the nearby desk that has three books on it.
  • 2 of 10: The warden keeps his prison key locked inside one of those books, so you'll need to figure out how to open the books while he reads you his awful poetry.
  • 3 of 10: To get the code you need, sneak around the bookshelves and behind the warden to read the interactive paper that's on the wall.
  • 4 of 10: While you're doing this, note the two lines below your mini map. This is a timed sequence, and the top line shows you how close you are to running out of time.
  • 5 of 10: The line below that is an awareness indicator. If it fills up, the warden will detect you sneaking around and put you back where you started, thereby wasting time.
  • 6 of 10: TIP: When the awareness line is 3/4 full or so, stop and wait for it to go down a ways before proceeding.
  • 7 of 10: After you read the secret code off the paper on the wall past the warden, sneak back to the desk with three locked books and pick one to interact with.
  • 8 of 10: No matter which one you choose, it'll be the wrong one (no key), and the warden will stop his poetry reading. You'll be put back in your cell for an entire year!
  • 9 of 10: Fortunately, the annual race happens every year (go figure), and all you have to do is win it again and repeat the process of sneaking through the warden's office and getting his secret code.
  • 10 of 10: Whatever book you choose to open this time will be the right one, and the prison key will be yours!
