New Hero - p. 2 | Walkthrough Fable III Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
After entering the Academy building [1], listen to what the curator has to say while searching the bookshelves at the same time. There's some gold hidden there. Once you're done, show the man the Guild Seal [2].
The man will take you to the Reliquary. In the corridor, turn left and you will find a chest with gold [1]. Pick up the content and open the gate indicated by the curator [2].
Inside, examine the first room [1]. On the left you will find a chest requiring a silver key. Inside there's a book. To teach your dog some new tricks, interact with it (A) and then press up on the D-pad.
Once you're done with searching the room, leave it through the exit on the other side. The golden trail will lead you to a broken bridge [1] and a closed door (you need a key to open them; you will gain it in the further part of the game). Jasper will ask you to return to the Sanctuary, which you should quickly do [2].
This time you will be introduced to your father's armoury. It's accessible through the entrance on the left [1]. Inside you can choose one of two weapons: a hammer or a sword [2]. Choose whichever you like and return to the Academy's undergrounds.
To activate the blue field, attack it by pressing X [1]. This way you will create a bridge - cross it to the other side. There you will be attacked by Hollow Men [2]. Kill them, attacking and blocking just like Walter taught you at the beginning of the game.
Once the fight is over, go to the other side and follow the golden trail [1]. To unlock the further path, you have to use Fire ball to hit the red field over the abyss [2]. Press B and point the proper direction.
Stairs leading to the stone platform will be created. Create more by standing on the blue triangles. Try to do it so that you can collect all the treasures [1]. In the first chest on the right there are gauntlets, in the second one a slow time potion and in the chest on the left a summon creature potion Hollow Men will appear from time to time, but they won't pose too much of a threat [2].
Once you're on the other side of the abyss, turn left and jump down by pressing A [1]. That way you will reach a broken bridge [2].
Approach its edge and dive into the underground lake [1]. Swim towards the door on the other side [2], collecting an amethyst on your way (dive by pressing A in the marked spot).
To open the gate, shoot it with a charged Fire ball (hold down B) [1]. Go along the golden trail and you will reach another bridge [2]. This time you need a ranged weapon in order to activate it.
Move to the Sanctuary, pick up the pistol or rifle [1] and use it on the proper field (Y). You can continue forward thanks to the newly created passage [2].
After a longer walk, you will eventually reach the top, where you will find the music box [1]. Pick it up and enter the portal [2].
Listen out to what Theresa has to say [1] and open the newly found item to learn the truth about your brother [2].
Once the cutscene ends, open the next door on the Road to Rule [1] and use the gained seals to open the chosen chests [2]. It's best to choose those which are connected with your weapon of choice and one of those on the left. The expression package is good, unlocking Whistle, Hero Pose and Talk. Using them you will be able to make friends with the city dwellers and receive easy tasks from them.
Having finished upgrading your hero, return to the Academy [1]. After talking with the librarian, Jasper will tell you that Walter is waiting for you in the pub [2].
