acquiring both bright wizard hat and dark wizard hat.

Post by Mamluke_Dynasty »

Is it possible to get both wizard hats? For instance, early in the game select an orchard farm quest, then get 9 good books from guild and give to the teacher in bowerstone to get the bright wizard hat. Then do hero save and load it. afterwards get 9 evil books from bowerstone, "sock method", "eyes of a killer" etc and give to the teacher again to get the dark wizard hat.

Is this all possible? Has it been done? I would like to know because i started a new profile and would like to try to get both

I think there is a possibility, though I have not tried this method as of yet. The list of bad books can be found [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/fable/walkthrough/bookcollection.php"]here[/url]. I think that you should be able to get both the dark and light wizard hat if you give the Headmaster the books in the correct order (bad books first, as listed in the link, and then the good books).

Is there a quest that allows you to hero save in Bowerstone? I can't think of one.

yeah its possible,ive done it every time i played tlc.

its best done during the "find the archeologist" quest.

use the culis gate to get to witckwood so that it will start the quest and enable the hero save,then look for the books,give them to the teacher and get a hat,then hero save,load,find other books,give them to teacher,get alternate hat.

good luck ;)

(and try not to mix good books with bad books because if you do,say you have to give the teacher 9 bad books,so if you give him one good book you'll have to bring him 10 bad books,etc,i tested it alot)

No, it depends on what books you donate. Please keep this thread on topic.

If you keep donating books, eventually the headmaster will give you a silver key, not another hat. So far as I know, the only way to get both hats is to use the hero save exploit, and even there I'm not sure if it's just a theory or if somebody has actually been able to do it.

I did it once, and I have no idea how. I played through TLC good, so I picked up the books as early as possible. I got the hat right away, thought nothing of it, and then kept going.

Because I wanted the key, I kept giving him books. Then, randomly, much later, I gave the schoolmaster a book and *bang* he gives me the dark wizard hat! :speech: I don't have any idea why, because I didn't think it could be done, and consequently didn't pay attention to what books I was giving him, etc.

I think I gave him multiple copies of books over and over, so maybe that did it. I really wanted that key, but I didn't pay attention to what I'd already given him. So I just kept buying any/every book I could to contribute. Myabe if you give him, like 15 copies of "eyes of a killer" you'll get the second hat.

you got the second hat without the hero save exploit because your playing on the xbox 360.

and you cant give multiple books with the same name.

I don't generally use the hero save exploit. I'm too afraid of it corrupting my game. I use it once or twice to get an extra silver key or do the age reduction trick. That's it.

Why does playing on a 360 matter?

because the 360 uses emulators to run original xbox games,so microsoft knew that people were getting both wizard hats with the hero save exploit,so they changed the game so that you can get both(one after the other) without corrupting your game(with the hero save exploit)

short: on the 360 you dont have to do the hero save exploit to get both hats because you get them one after the other after you've donated enough books :cool: (you still get the silver key at the end :) )

That means you don't have any books he wants.
