Brightwood Tower

Fable II Guide - Brightwood Tower

Brightwood Tower, that familiar place where you first try to meet Garth can now be purchased, though at 250,000 gold it isn't cheap. You need to fight a horde of Spire Guards to get to the property information board by the entrance, but once purchased this quest unlocks through a letter that Garth leaves for you.

Sleeping in the tower causes you to be transported to another childhood experience, this time though not in the picturesque farm but in Nightmare Hollow. This is a very bizarre quest, but once you head through the area and walk up to the chest in the centre it reveals that it likes to play tricks on its friends, of which you have now become one. It sends enemies at you as part of these, all familiar and Crucible-esque in nature. Take them all out using previous tactics to get access to the chest itself: 100,000 gold and the Diamond of Sorrow worth as much again if sold! You also get 3,000 renown and the Son of Chesty trophy. Use the bed where the chest ends up to return to your tower.

A tough quest to unlock, likely to be activated merely by playing the game a lot after completing it is The Hit. This is only available after collecting all four sketch fragments which you receive after successfully defeating bandits that have been paid to ambush you on your travels. Roaming the various wilderness locations should give you the chance to get all four, at which point the location of the Assassins' Guild is made apparent, located in the Forsaken Fortress in Brightwood. Clear away the bandits and highwaymen inside before attacking and defeating their leader. This will earn you 7500 renown and stop the persistent attacks from assassins.

If you thought the 100,000 gold from the Brightwood Tower quest was handy, you need 1,000,000 to be able to take part in the Castle Fairfax quest.
