---------------------------------------------------------------------

Knothole Island is a downloadable content for Fable 2. With it, three achievements, worth a total of 100 , were released.

There are two versions of the DLC: Premium and free. To unlock these achievements you need the Premium version which costs 800 MS points.

This guide is meant to help you with those achievements. We hope it helps you getting what you need.

You should collect books while completing the main story and then go for the mystery items. Also, be sure to dig up every dig spot and pick up every little item as they can be needed to help getting the The Collector. For example, I for once got an Eternal Love Ring from a dig spot.

4) Achievement Guide [acg]
-----------------------------

4.a) The Collector - 25 [ag1]



Acquire all the mystery items in The Box of Secrets shop, or see another Hero do so.

For this achievement you need to get every item in The Box of Secrets shop in Knothole Island. You need to finish all three main quests before doing this otherwise not all the items will be available. Here is a list of every item needed, where to get it, its economy rating and the reward you get:


Need: Regal Purple Dye
Where to get: Traveling Dye Trader/Clothing Trader (Fairfax Garden)

Where to get: Bar
Economy Rating: ***
Reward: Cascading Hair

Note: The economy rating of the items is very important in your quest to find the rarest items. The items the seller sells are equal to or one star lower than the region economy, so, a low rated region economy means low rated items in the shops. To raise the economy in a region simply put the prices in your shops under 0% and each time you are awarded the money from your shops the economy will raise a bit; to lower the economy, just put the prices over 0% or kill people from that region.

Note 2: In Castle Fairfax you can find a diamond, Murgo's Big Book of Trading and a Pure Experience Extract in the regal bedroom inside chests, drawers and bookcases.


4.b) The Meteorologist - 50 [ag2]



Bring all of Knothole Island’s weather problems under control, or help another Hero to do so.

For this achievement simply complete all three main quests (after completing a quest, go anywhere but Knothole Island so that the game gives you the next quest) and after the final decision the achievement unlocks.

[Gilberto]

4.c) The Bibliophile - 25 [ag3]



Find all the books detailing the history of Knothole Island, or help another Hero to do so.

For this achievement you need to collect all of the 10 volumes of the Knothole Island books. They are very similar to silver keys. Here is their location:

Volume I – Given by the guy that brings you to Knothole Island with his submarine, when you first talk to him.

Volume II - Inside the Ice Shrine in the part where you need to hit 4 orbs to successfully stop the lighting, on the right there are some icicles that you can destroy and then vault down. Proceed to the ladder, climb it up, destroy some more icicles and the book is yours.

Volume III – Inside the Sun Shrine in the red floor chamber where you need to stand on a blue button to open a door, destroy the wall to the left from where you enter the chamber and the book is inside a small alcove shown by the broken wall.

Volume IV – As soon as you enter the Storm Shrine to the right in a small opening.

Volume V – For this one, enter Knothole Island and go to the ramp that takes you to the Ice Shrine. When you get there drop down (Sun or Storm Totem must be activated in order to be able to drop down). Go left and keep following the path. At some point you'll see some trees (usually you get attacked by Hobbes here) turn right and you should see the book next to a cliff.

Volume VI – Below the Warriors Rest House (left of The Box of Secrets) in between the bridge pillars (You need to have the Sun Totem activated).

Volume VII – Next to the west wall of the Sun Shrine entrance.

Volume VIII – As soon as you arrive in town turn left and head to the graveyard, turn left again and you can see the book in the middle of the trees.

Volume IX - As soon as you exit the Sun Temple, to your left, there is a book next to a dig spot.

Volume X - As soon as you exit the Storm Temple to your right.


--------------------
5) Conclusion [con]
--------------------

Overall, this DLC is easy, if you follow this guide you should have no problem doing all 3 achievements, it is a proper DLC that you should enjoy, and even though it is not that long, the 4/5 hours spent playing are awesome.


--------------------------------------
6) Frequently Asked Questions [faq]
--------------------------------------

Q: When was the DLC released and how much does it cost?
A: Knothole Island was released on the 13th January 2009 and it costs 800 MS points. There is also a free pack in which you can get some Knothole Island items and play co-op with someone who has the Premium.

Q: Can the achievements be obtained through another person like some from the original list?
A: Yes (as far as the two of you have the Premium content). For now we only know that you can get the achievements by seeing other people do it but there is no confirmation yet if there is a way to get the achievements even if the other person as already unlocked them.

Q: Where is Knothole Island?
A: There is a guy with a submarine on Bowerstone Market that will take you there. To get to him simple go down the stairs to the dock and you should see him (after this you can simply fast travel).

Q: Can I access all of Knothole Island's quests, items and locations before I beat the main story?
A: No. You need to finish the main story first before being able to do certain stuff in Knothole Island. If you don't finish the main story some things may be unavailable until you do.

[MAXIBHOY]

oh btw i think for the collector achievement you could boost it the same way as the dollcatcher one , by having all the items then selling one and re-buying it :P

[illimunythai]

Yes probably. We still don't have confirmation though. We still need to wait but yeah it is very probable.

[Kioku]

[illimunythai]

Thanks Kioku.

[FuZioN]

Sounds good im getting it! ^^

[nanochef]

Whether or not you can get an achievement by witnessing a hero is not certain, but what is certain is that if you have not purchased the premium download (800ms) achievements will not be unlocked.

[PureTechniquex]

[Gilberto]

You're welcome! =)
Not only we are excited by playing the DLC but we're also excited about making this guide and helping everybody! =D

[illimunythai]

The guide is being constructed now and we hope to finish it in about 8 hours. Please be patient.

[ezekiel 08]

Don't you hate it when people post achievement guides before the game/DLC is even released? This puts others off from having a go at making a guide.

Just saying, not being personal, so please don't take offence.

Nice looking guide, hope it's as good as you promise it to be .
