Stranded - Chapter Thirteen
CUTSCENE: Sparrow makes it through the Cullis Gate shortly after the dog, but is knocked unconscious due to a malfunction. A sinister old man named Old Gregg locks Sparrow in a cage, and talks of banshees and burning, before he's taken by the fog.

XIII. Wraithmarsh
You'll be in a cage in Wraithmarsh and Theresa will inform you that the fog dampens the Guild Seal she uses to communicate with you. She also informs you that Garth and Hammer are back at the Guild due to a malfunction, so for now, it's just you and your dog.
The dog will bring you the key to the cage from Old Gregg's body - accept it and use it to unlock the door. Be sure to congratulate your pooch, then follow the glowing trail, stopping in the barn for a dig spot your companion finds.
You'll soon reach the Drowned Farm.

Fable 2 Walkthrough - The Hero of Skill
XIV. The Drowned Farm
There's a Banshee here using the fog against you - to kill it, wait until it summons the little imp enemies to fight you, then defeat them and use Time Control to warp behind it; use chain attacks from there to wipe the Banshee out.
Keep moving, and you'll learn that you're in the remnants of Oakvale, a town from Fable that was destroyed hundreds of years ago. Follow the glowing trail across the wooden bridge, and you'll come to some stairs leading up to a stone bridge.
Before you head up the stairs, check to the right to find a treasure chest - your dog should point that out for you.
Once you get to the top of the stone bridge, defeat the Hollow Men that appear, and look to your right to find another treasure chest waiting, before you get off the bridge.
Keep following the glowing trail, and you'll encounter an Elder Hollow Man - he's a bit tougher, but through proper use of targeted Inferno spells, or a combination of area-affect and targeted Time Control spells, he's easily defeated. Chain attacks work well, but he can block them easily enough - stay back and shoot, or teleport with the targeted Time Control for the easiest victory.
You'll enter a foggy area - the ground is thick with mist. Look to the left inside a rock escarpment that looks like a doorway to find a Silver Key. Follow the glowing trail, and you'll need to fight another Banshee - kill it just like the other one, wiping out the imp offspring first.
There's a small shack here that has a treasure chest inside, on the right as you follow the glowing trail. After you pass the house, to the right by the well is a dig spot.
Continue following the trail until you reach the Troll - like the other Trolls you've fought, you'll need to take aim at the glowing spots on his body with your ranged weapon and fire away, rolling to avoid it's attacks.
TIP: Be sure to use Time Control level 3(or higher) to make fighting Trolls easier - getting to their backside while avoiding the lesser enemies can be a hassle in real-time.
Head over the bridge, and use A to open the gate. You'll fight another swarm of Hollow Men with Elder Hollow Men mixed in with them. Defeat the lot of them, and when they finish spawning in, open the next gate to continue to Bloodstone.
XIV. Bloodstone
Head forward, following the glowing trail. There's a dig spot near the Demon Door on your right as you progress.
NOTE: There are no guards in Bloodstone - you can attack anyone you like, but be careful; even accidentally pulling out your weapon may cause a villager to attack you. Killing one villager can incite other villagers to attack you as well, though not all of them are that brave.
Follow the glowing trail to Reaver's home, the largest one in town, and enter to speak with him.
TIP: There's a treasure chest at the end of the mountain-carved stairs leading into Bloodstone proper, and a dig spot as you move down those stairs. The chest is on the left at the very bottom - it's camouflaged, so keep your eyes peeled.
XIV. Bloodstone Mansion
- Speak with Reaver, and he'll tell you that you aren't Renown enough for him to deal with you. You'll need to go and complete some sidequests to raise your Renown - at this point, you should be able to get enough from only one sidequest, so we'll take on the "Evil in Wraithmarsh" sidequest.
Evil in Wraithmarsh
- To begin this quest, you'll need to go and talk with Max and Sam's mother in Bowerstone Market - she's in the tavern, on the second floor. Turns out the two have wound up in Wraithmarsh, causing trouble again, so Fast Travel to Wraithmarsh from Bowerstone Market.
- From there, you'll want to follow the glowing trail, defeating the Hollow Men you encounter along the way, until you reach the well - enter the well and defeat the Hollow Men here to find Max and Sam.
- They'll tell you they've accidentally unleashed a terrible Banshee, that's on it's way to Bloodstone - grab the treasure chest in the room with them, then Fast Travel or run back to Bloodstone.
- When you arrive, head down to the docks to confront the Banshee. After you kill her imp offspring, a targeted level 5 Blades spell is enough to kill the Banshee in one hit - if you don't have that, use Time Control to slow down time and fire you ranged weapon into her head as fast as possible.
- When she's dead, return to Bowerstone Market to speak with Sam and Max's mother again - you can give a positive or negative comment about the two's behavior during the scene.
- With that complete, you receive 4000 Renown Points and the Banshee Rags Trophy. This should boost your Renown enough to get Reaver to speak with you again.

XIV. Bloodstone Mansion, Revisited
It seems that Reaver still isn't too impressed with you - you've done things, but nothing for him, so he'll ask you to take the seal on a nearby table to the Shadow Court.
Pick up Reaver's Dark Seal and take off down the glowing trail to find the Shadow Court.
XIV. The Shadow Court
- Enter, and work your way down the corridor until you see a breakable wall on your left - bust it down with a melee attack to find a treasure chest.
- In the next area, there's a barricaded doorway that can be broken to find another treasure chest.
- Continue, fighting off the Shadows that attack you, and you'll encounter a large hole. Jump in, and work your way through the tunnels until you reach a large area.
- Waves of Shadows will attack - Shadows can take the form of any enemy you've encountered so far, aside from Shards, and they come in droves. Defeat them all, and check behind the wall on the left for another treasure chest before progressing.
- You'll encounter a woman named Elizabeth, as well as the Court of Shadows - three Shadow Judges are to sap the youth from whoever holds Reaver's seal, and give that youth to Reaver.
- You have the option of giving the seal to Elizabeth, and letting her take the fall - you'll retain your youth, at the price of your morals. However, if you keep the seal on you, you'll be transformed - basically, your hair and eye color will change.
- Either way, once someone's youth has been drained, head back up the stairs behind you and follow the glowing trail to exit the Shadow Court.
