Fable 2
Cheat Codes/Hints
"Air guitar" statue
Go to Oakfield and visit the sculptor. Choose any town you would like to have the statue put up. When she tells you to do a pose, go to your list of Actions. Choose "Social", then select the lute. After finishing the pose, go to the town that will have that statue. If you chose Oakfield, simply walk out to Rookridge, then walk back out. When you get to the statue, it will as if you are playing and air guitar.
"Rescuing Charlie" quest
During the quest, wait until Charles asks you to help him open the tomb/coffin. After the Hollowmen start appearing, you can kill Charles, take his hat, and still finish the quest and get the reward. Alternately, you can just kill all the Hollowmen and make it to the exit with Charles and get a different dialog from his gran.

Broken storyline
Note: The following glitch has been fixed with an online patch. However, it is still possible to encounter this problem during game play with an unpatched game. Go to Oakfield to speak to the Abbot. He will tell you he wants someone who is more famous. Do not leave the Temple or skip the conversation until the Abbot finishes talking. If you do, the Abbot will not give you the information to start the quest "A Bridge Too Far", and the person you need to meet to start the quest will not appear. The Abbot will no longer give you any information. If this happens in an unpatched game, you must restart your game. There is no more story progression from this point on if you encountered this glitch.
Confused dog
Go to Rookridge after purchasing or finding the rubber ball item and after defeating Dash. Stand in the center of the bridge facing the waterfall and throw the rubber ball as far as possible. If it lands in the waterfall slightly to the right, it will appear under the bridge out of view. Your dog will then become confused and will begin running in circles trying to get to it. To make your dog stop, punish or praise him. Note: Throwing another rubber ball will not work, as he will not see it.
Crucible revisited
When you return to the Crucible ten years later (after the Tattered Spire), it is best to have some five star skills. Included in these skills should be Slow Time and Chaos. You should also have a five star Fireball attack so that you can wipe out most enemies around you through most of the rounds and get Perfect Rounds. When you get to the eighth and final round against the Rock Troll, wait for the Spores to appear then dodge the rocks and cast five star Slow Time. Run up to the troll, cast five star Chaos, then take out your fastest and most powerful ranged gun. Shoot the Spores until they are all gone before Chaos wears off. Alternately, cast a five star Lightning or Fire attack (non-enemy targeting) and hope that it will destroy all the Spores instantly. Otherwise, repeat the process until the Troll is dead in under one minute fifty seconds.
Easy "Cliff Diver" achievement
When you first arrive in Rookridge and reach the broken bridge, jump when prompted to and immediately hold LT to look at the three bandits. When you think you are just about to hit the water, release LT. If timed correctly, you will unlock the "Cliff Diver" achievement.
Easy end game achievements
At the end of the game when you are back in the Spire to get your revenge against Lucien, make sure that you save and continue the game. Once done, face and kill Lucien. Select one of the three choices Theresea presents you with. After you unlock the achievement, immediately reset and restart the Xbox 360. Choose to continue the game to get the next achievement until all three have been selected and unlocked. You can reset the Xbox 360 a fourth time to select the choice you really wanted to begin with afterwards.
Easy Experience
An easy and not-so-cheap way to raise lots of experience is to simply donate money to the Temple of Light. Donations of 1,000 or 5,000 gold will earn you general experience for each donation. Do this over and over again to max out your abilities. It will just cost lots of cash!
Easy experience points
Purchase an Experience Potion from a vendor at either Browerstone or Westcliff. Find some enemies to battle. Normally when you dispatch the enemies and absorb their orbs, you will get a message at the top stating "Excellent Fight! 150% XP", or something similar. After you defeat the enemies, and before you absorb the orbs, use the Experience Potion. The experience point bonus percentage will also apply to the potion, meaning you could turn 62,500 experience points and earn up to three times that amount. You can also buy lots of potions at the Crucible and use them in several of the fights (for example, the first bandit fight).
