Fable II Side Quests

Find Salty Jack in a Bloodstone bar and he'll start to tell you a story. His throat gets dry, though, so you'll need to buy a beer (any beer) from the bartender and give it to Salty Jack so he can continue. Accept his quest and then leave the bar, following the glowing trail to the south end of Bloodstone.

You'll need to chop through some plants to follow the trail to the Sinkhole entrance. Once inside the cave, follow the glowing trail alongside a large ship and up a series of ramps that lead to a room crowded with pirate ghosts. Distract the ghosts with Raise Dead castings and then charge up a radius Will attack to clear out the multiple waves of pirates. When they're all dead, a door at the far end of the room opens.

Just a bit further ahead, you'll find a door that's locked. Look for a floor switch in the room that's covered by a pair of boxes, clear it, and press the switch to unlock the door.

Through the door, you're lead to what appears to be Captain Dread's chambers. Open a small table next to the bed to find a key that you can use to unlock the chest in the same room. Inside the chest is the Lever—grab it, then leave the way you came in, backtracking all the way to the top of the series of ramps overlooking the ship deck below.

You can use the Lever to the left in order to raise the water level, bringing the ship to your level. Hop onto the ship and you'll have to fight off a large group of ghost pirates that're easily dispatched with radius spells. When the basic pirates are dead, you'll be left to fight Captain Dread. Distract him with Raise Dead spells and hit him from behind with charged Will attacks. When Dread dies, he leaves behind Captain Dread's Map.

Move up to the helm of the ship and you can ride it to Lion's Head Isle, a secret island you can only get to with this ship. There are ten treasures to find before you can hop on the ship and ride it back to Bloodstone to complete the quest.

1. Look inside the front of the busted-up ship on the beach.
2. At the end of the beach, swim to the end of the narrow peninsula to the right for a second, smaller beach.
3. As you go up the dirt path off the beach, tear through some thorns to the left and jump down to the deck of a ruined ship.
4. When you reach the ledge overlooking a watery oasis, jump to the left to land on a lower platform.
5. Swim to the island in the middle of the oasis and look for the chest by the tree.
6. Dig the dig site on the island.
7. Hit the dive spot just off the island.
8. Look behind one of the waterfalls.
9. Follow the oasis exit (a dirt hill you can walk up). From inside the tunnel at the top of the hill, break open a wooden wall to the left.
10. At the end of the tunnel, drop down to the ledge below and look left.
