Fable II Walkthrough

Return to Theresa in the Old Tomb and she'll give you the skinny on the next portion of the main quest. You're to head to the Bowerstone Market to meet up with Lucien's old butler, Jeeves, who you may remember having met in your childhood. Leave the cave and make your way through Bower Lake to the market in Bowerstone.

March your way to the west end of town and enter the local pub. Head upstairs and you'll find Jeeves in his room, and while he'll help you he's not exactly the most selfless guy. Jeeves demands 1,000 gold pieces in exchange for the diary you've come for and there's no way around it. Though even after you fork over the dough, you don't get the diary right away. Jeeves instead hands you the Map to Lucien's Diary. With the map in hand, leave the market and return to Bower Lake.

All looks normal in Bower Lake until you reach the dig site where Lucien's diary is buried. As you approach that spot, a massive forest troll rises from the ground. Unlike other enemies you've fought, the forest troll is stationary and has a visible health bar on the screen. Getting close to the troll is suicide, so keep your distance and strafe around him, firing at the glowing red spots on his body with your best projectile weapons.

Try to get behind the troll as some of the glowing weak spots will appear on its back. When you see the troll toss rubble at you, use sideways rolls to dodge the attacks. As long as you keep your distance and roll frequently, you should be able to easily defeat the troll. When the troll is defeated, dig up Lucien's Diary from the spot where the troll was and then return to Theresa in the Old Tomb.
