Fable 3 Walkthrough

The Hollow Legion

Mourningwood

Silver Keys: 4 / Gold Keys: 0 / Gnomes: 3

Your search for allies has brought you to Mourningwood (heh heh). On your right you should pass a chest with a Health Potion inside. Cross the bridge and continue straight for a Dig Spot and another chest with some sellable items inside.

Before going down the ramp, search the ridge above the path leading down for a 10 Silver Key Chest. You should have enough Silver Keys for this now, and if you don't, head to our Keys and Collectibles section to catch up! Inside you'll find a Legendary Weapon, sweet!

Down the sloping path you'll pass under the bridge and encounter a hard-to-miss chest with another Legendary Weapon inside, the Bonesmasher. Equip this now by entering the Sanctuary. This weapon is especially useful against Hollow Men, and you'll be seeing plenty of Hollow Men shortly.

Unlike your Hero Weapons, Legendary Weapons each have three upgrades you can get by performing certain tasks. Examine the Bonesmasher in the Sanctuary by looking at it and pressing Y and you will see its three upgrades and their requirements. Time to kill some Hollow Men!

Enter the fort and listen to the conversation. Ben Finn will then head up to the mortar on the fort wall. As he does, grab any potions you may want at the shop in the fort (we recommend a few Slow Time and Health Potions on hand at ALL TIMES).

Ben Finn will then direct you to use the Mortar, a large Hollow-Man-shattering cannon. Al you have to do is point and fire. Aim the circle over the two Scarecrows and press A to fire a shot.

The resulting explosion is a bit slow, so moving targets will be tougher to hit. Soon you will be swarmed by Hollow Men as they stream down the hill towards the fort. Your job is to destroy as many of them as possible. This is much easier to do with the slow-firing cannon when they appear in groups of four or more.

Always aim for groups before stragglers. There's no other trick to this area. You just keep firing as close as you can to groups of Hollow Men and pick off stragglers when you can.
