Fable II Walkthrough

Have a talk with the abbot and he'll ask you to prove yourself before he sends you on his errands. To prove yourself you'll need to help out the citizens of Oakfield, so head back into town and follow the glowing trail to Barnum, the photographer you encountered in your childhood. After hearing his sob story, accept his mission and head out of town, returning to Rookridge to take care of the bandits.

Follow the glowing trail down the hill and then up toward the Rookridge Inn. As you enter the inn, bandits charge you from upstairs. Take cover under the stairs to avoid taking cheap shots from the gunners upstairs and take out guys sent to fight you man to man before rushing upstairs to obliterate the gunners. After clearing the inn, look for a side room on the upstairs level with a chest bearing a Resurrection Phial.

The glowing trail leads you outdoors where you briefly encounter the bandit leader, Dash, from a distance. He'll run off before you can do anything about it, so just follow the trail to the ground level and then up a short flight of stairs to encounter another batch of bandits. Try to keep your distance and avoid getting surrounded—if you can manage to take 'em out, there's a nearby chest with a Standard Health Potion. The trail wants to urge you south down the rail tracks, though a quick diversion to the north will net you another Silver Key.

Just a few yards up the track and you'll need to watch for an ambush from your left. There's one bandit in this bunch that is particularly strong and won't be stunned by your Shock, so make ample use of your rolling ability (should you have it, and we hope you do) to allow for a safe strike-strike-roll-strike-strike-roll attack pattern.
