Fable II Walkthrough

You'll meet Old Gregg upon arriving in the marshes and sit through a bit of a scene, the details of which we won't go into. Eventually, your dog brings you the Cage Key which you can use to unlock the door in front of the dog. When you break out, follow the glowing trail into Oakvale town.

As you move deeper into the marsh you'll bump into a banshee, a new enemy type that you can't attack directly. When you first see the banshee, do nothing but charge up your best radius effect Will spell. The banshee calls forward a gaggle of wisps that spawn little mini hollow men around you. Unleash your spell when the enemies spawn to take 'em out (repeat the spell as necessary).

When all of the mini enemies are dead, the banshee will get dazed, floating in place while bobbling its head. This is your chance to attack. Unload whatever attacks you can muster, focusing on flourish attacks to deal chunks of damage. Your window for attacking isn't very long, as the banshee will soon become invincible again and resume summoning wisps to attack you. Fight off each group of small enemies to weaken the banshee and take your chance to deal as much damage as possible. Since your window for attack is so short, we suggest always staying as close to the banshee as possible.

Get back to following the glowing trail westward across the marshes and expect to run into myriad groupings of hollow men. After passing through a mausoleum and heading down to a foggy graveyard, you'll be introduced to the elder hollow men. Turns out they're basically just normal hollow men, just a bit more resilient. Blast through 'em and push forward.
