What You'll Learn
Complete the Treasure of the Ghost Pirate quest
To complete the "Treasure of the Ghost Pirate" quest in Fable Anniversary on Xbox, follow these steps:
- Begin the quest by heading to Oakvale's southeast beach and talking to the ghost you find there. The ghost will tell you about his wife, who believes he was a fisherman lost at sea, and ask for your help.
- Find the ghost's grieving wife by heading to the southern beach. She will be standing on the beach, looking out over the sea, still waiting for her husband's return.
- Return to the center of the village and follow the path uphill between the tavern and the blacksmith. Turn right past the cottage, where you will find a vendor who runs a chicken-kicking contest and is experiencing some ghost trouble. Talk to him.
- Head to the Oakvale Cemetery and find the statue of a man holding an axe in the center. Dig underneath the axe to obtain the ghost's treasure: 500 gold, a Silver Key, and an Obsidian Great Axe.
- Decide whether to keep the treasure for yourself or return it. If you choose to return it, give the 500 gold to the ghost's wife, who will be overjoyed and believe the lie that her husband sent it. This will earn you 60 good points.
- Return to the ghost and inform him that you gave the money to his wife. He will reward you with directions to another buried treasure in the cemetery and then vanish.
- Dig up the new treasure, which includes a Silver Key and an Obsidian Great Axe. You will also receive 100 gold and 150 Renown, and the quest will be completed.
Note: There are alternative ways to complete the quest. You can choose to kill the ghost's wife, which will grant you 60 evil points and cause the ghost to vanish. You can also skip the second and third objectives by immediately digging up the treasure and keeping it for yourself, but this will make the 60 good points unobtainable.
Additionally, it is important to follow the steps in the correct order to avoid bugs in the quest.
