One day I made a new character, if you've played Fable a lot you'll know each time you play you learn something new, and for me, a perfectionist, that means I have to make a new character and encorporate it in. I knew that Skorm and Avo gave Youth gifts, however, usually it was 15 years or less if you got both the blessings combined. 65 - 15 is 50, and you probably won't have all max skills when you get them, and you'll still be old at 50. So, I was thinking of a way to get around this, and, I found a way to be 18 again with everything maxed.
The benefits of youth? Well, I don't like crinkly old skin and gray hair, plus, it's a nice touch. Sure, you can get a trainer, but, that can be risky to game files, this is easier than a trainer too, and just an exploit in the game.
First, before you attempt this, you CANNOT have gotten the blessing of youth from Avo, if you got it from Skorm it doesn't matter, as long as you haven't gotten it from Avo. I also recommend you have maxed EVERYTHING in Will Skill and Physique, this can be hard since you need to be good/evil for some of the spells but if you're evil then you can eat tons of tofu or if you're good you can just donate to Skorm (and in the process getting the nice Skorm's Bow) or get a wife and beat her up, treat her like crap, have her divorce you and get +600 evil points. If you're wondering how you could get enough EXP to max all the skills, well, you use the trusty physical shield and in the "Try to Stop Jack of Blades" quest, Minions, Undead and Screamers and the like will constantly spawn. I got a CM of 261 and maxed my general points and got millions of strength, skill and will. I easily maxed all the skills, make sure to bring a ton of will potions though, and health too.
Once ye got all your skills maxed (if you don't know, your age goes up by how many skills you have added to, thus, if you have a ton of skills you're going to add to after you attempt this, it mainly will be just a waste of time) and you're an old man and you have the required alignment and haven't gotten Avo's blessing (seems like a lot but if you've mastered the art of playing Fable like I have, then, it really isn't) we'll cover the exploit. Oh, by the way, I suggest you do this after the quest where you go to the Lost Bay (the name I forget, I believe it's called "The Ship of the Drowned") because you will go from 18 to 19 on the ship. Only 1 year, but, a year's a year
.Okay, I've rambled enough, if you fill those requirements, it's really quite simple. Take yer hero and take the Ransom Victim quest, (if you've already done it, this won't work) and go to Knothole Glade and talk to the emotionally-stricken Chief, he will talk to you, then his son, then you're free to go. By the way, if you haven't gotten the silver key in between the house for sale (or the one you've bought) and the one on the left (I believe) then go get it, since you will do this several times to get full youth, you'll get the key over and over, thus saving you the trouble of going to 30 specific locations. Once you've talked to the Chief, got the key if you haven't, go to the Temple of Avo, hero save and donate. If you're pure good you're gonna have to fork out TONS of cash for the gift of youth, if you're pure evil or only half-three quarters good, then the 7500 gold (or part of it) that the Chief gives you as the ransom money should suffice to get you the Gift of Youth. Once you've gotten it, simply teleport out of there! It will ask you if you want to leave since you're in the middle of a mission, agree to Reload. You'll be in the last place before you even started the quest, and you'll still have your new youth!
Go back to Knothole Glade, get the ransom money from the Chief and the silver key if you haven't already, and head off to the Temple of Avo. You do not need to Hero Save every time, but, I recommend it once in awhile in case you screw something up. Donate again, and, lo and behold, you'll get the Gift of Youth AGAIN! Rinse and repeat until you're young again. No white hair on your back, wrinkles, gray hair and cribbage for you!
Please give credit to me if you spread this exploit around. I do not know if it has been discovered yet, but, I've looked everywhere and I couldn't find mention of it.
