Here are some hints and glitches for Fable.
Easter Eggs
Easter Egg: FCC Balverines
In the Save The Archaeologist quest, you must guess the name of the Demon Door that he is in. There are four stones from which you must decipher his name. The letters on the stones are I-H-S-T. There are three words that you can make. HITS,THIS,and...well, the other word. If you spell that -other word- then two Balverines will come and attack you.
Glitches
Easy Renown
Buy a spade. In the Guild, choose a new Quest and choose to Boast about it. You will be transported to the Boast Podium in Lookout Point. A group of people should flock to you and cheer. Step off the podium and find a diggable patch of ground. Now dig. Every time you dig, the characters in the area will be reloaded; as this is the only place in the game where human NPCs are randomly generated, the generation process will be repeated and more people will spawn. Continue doing this until you have a huge crowd of people, then pull out a Trophy and show it off to the amassed onlookers for huge amounts of Renown points.
Additionally, killing masses of them at a time with magic will net you a large Combat Multiplier and a nice chunk of experience, but you will only earn Evil Points for one person for each group slain in this fashion, making it an easy way to kill a lot of people but keep the Evil Points to a minimum.
Note: Your XBox may lag if there are too many NPCs on-screen at once; therefore, 100 is a good recommended upper limit of NPCs.
Hero Save Exploit
In the middle of a quest, if you use a hero save and reload the save, you will start at the beginning of the quest as if you had never begun, and you will retain all items that you obtained during the last run of the quest. This is especially useful in the Arena, where vast amounts of money can be made if used right.
Huge Characters
Use Berserk then save your game. When you load the game your character will be huge until you cast Berserk again.
Infinite Silver Keys
Durring the Rose Cottage mission dig up the Silver Key in the circular rose garden by the grandmother's house then Hero Save. Hero Saving should save the Silver Key to your character. Load the file that you just saved. Once you re-enter the Rose Cottage area the mission should restart with the Silver Key back in the ground even though your Hero still has the previously dug up Silver Key in his inventory. Keep digging up the Key, Hero Saving, and Loading the game. You should get a new Silver Key everytime you do this.
P.S. The Chest behind the shrubs contains 500 gold which you can also collect everytime you Hero Save and Load.
Succeed "No Protection" Boast with Armor
First, select a quest and boast to do it without any protection. When the quest begins, put on all the armor you need. The game will say that you failed the boast. Now Hero Save the game and load it back up. You will still have your armor on but the game will stil think that you are not wearing armor.
Throw fireballs and shoot arrows simultaneously.
Map the Fireball spell to the quick menu's X button. With the bow in-hand, hold the left trigger to target an enemy, then hold the right trigger to access your quick menu, then hold the X button. The Fireball spell should now start to charge in your hand. While still holding left trigger and X, release the right trigger. Instead of throwing the fireball or cancelling the spell, your character will begin to draw an arrow. When you've pulled back all the way, release the X button and you'll shoot both the arrow and the fireball at roughly the same time.
This glitch may work with other spells, preferably anything with a charge/release effect such as Fireball or a repeat-while-held effect such as Lightning.
Walk through walls
Assign the spade to a shortcut on the D-pad, then put your back against the fence or door you are planning on pushing through. Then proceed to dig with your back against the wall until you have succesfully gone through the object.
Note:You must be on diggable ground to perform this trick.
Note2: If you get stuck in an invisible wall click the left thumbstick to sneak until you can move through the wall.
Secrets
Maximum experience with "Ages of ..." Potions
Hold on to your Ages of Might, Ages of Skill, and Ages of Will potions until you have a really high combat multiplier to gain maximum experience from them.
NOTE: The default experience you gain from drinking one of these potions is 100 exp. toward whatever category that potion was targeting. However, if you were to drink one when your combat multiplier is at 25, then you would gain 2500 exp. from it.
NOTE: There are one of each of these potions found in the "Find the Archaeologist" quest. You can use the Hero Save exploit here to stock up on these potions.
More gold (Trophy profits)
Buy the house in Oakvale for 5000g. Mount the most expensive trophies you have (hotkey if desired). Smash the door and sell the house. The doorway will be open, allowing you to recollect your trophies, purchase the house, and repeat the process, earning a profit depending on the value of the trophies you mount.
