    Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    I noticed a lot of people keep asking about how they can unlock the chest lied next to the Cullis Gate in Heroes' Guild's Chamber of Fate. Here are some facts and suggestions I can give you:

    1. According to Sam the Lionhead CommMaster (the nice one who give you free Pub Games codes), the chest is the only place where you can obtain both your Limited Collector's Edition Bonus Contents (assuming you've downloaded it) and your The Hero's Tales rewards (assuming you've won any). Once the chest opened - either because you obtain the Bonus Content or your reward - you will never be able to re-open it again. E.G. if you opened the chest to get your Bonus Content (prior to win any The Hero's Tales reward), once you get your The Hero's Tales rewards you're not going to be able to obtain them in the same way you obtained your Bonus Content, and vice versa.

    2. The only way to obtain both downloaded Bonus Content and your redeemed web rewards from The Hero's Tales (for now) is to start a new game with new Hero. Also you have to make sure you have both Bonus Content and your web rewards downloaded first (unlike the Bonus Content, your web rewards are automatically downloaded if you start the game - loading the game, not literally start a new game with new Hero - while still connected to LIVE with your game profile) before you start a new game.

    3. You can get the Bonus Content by redeeming the code the game provides you one (assuming you have one) in the Bonus Content Card. Tear the Subscription Code cover to reveal the 25-characters code, enter the code by sign-in to LIVE, then go to Marketplace and select Redeem Code. Once you get the Bonus Content downloaded, it will always "be there" in you harddrive. As long as you don't delete it, the Bonus Content will always be available to any Hero(es) upon starting a new game, or your current Hero(es) if you still have the chest intact (closed), so there is NO NEED to re-download the content again.

    4. To get web rewards (like an expression book and a set of suit, among others), go to Fable II Experience web page by clicking HERE. Make sure you have Flash plugin installed for your favorite web browser. To redeem any reward, once you win any the game will ask whether you want to redeem your reward or play the game again. Click Redeem Your Reward to open a page where you can sign-in with your LIVE profile (if you haven't sign-in prior to playing the game). Once you have your redeemed The Hero's Tales rewards downloaded (it's not listed in your harddrive contents, but it's "there"), the same thing happened to Bonus Content goes here too: there is NO NEED to re-download anything. Your rewards will be (and always be) available to your new Heroes (upon starting a new game) or your current Heroes (as long as you haven't open the chest yet). Also the rewards you won in The Hero's Tales can be downloaded and available for Fable II regardless of edition, be it standard one or Limited Collector's Edition.

    5. No funny stuff! For those who happened to buy Fable II standard edition (not the Limited Collector's Edition), there is NO WAY you can get the Bonus Content from the chest, no matter how much you fancy it. You can still obtain your redeemed web rewards, but opening the chest to get your web rewards doesn't mean you will also HAVE the Bonus Content. Those are two different kind of contents, mind you. Hope this helps.

    I can open the chest many many times. I just keep doing the flash game thing at fable2.com and keep getting items. Stick out tongue [:P]. It's pretty fun i guess.

    Go here.  Put in your email address/live account.  You'll get your code in about a week and a half.  Yeah.  Apparently MS employs the same people whom your government hires to do tax refunds to validate your purchases.

    They should.  I find it sadly hilarious that on the webpage it says you get your codes in 5 working days, but as soon as you send out the request it says to expect it in 10.  Can't even get their stories straight...

    Can anyone else confirm this?  After reading about all of these game ending bugs I'm too paranoid to play my copy for fear of getting the bonus content from the chest then having my hero bug out and lose the content forever, so if it's true that ALL of my heroes will have access to the bonus items then I will be much more willing to start playing  ^^ [^^]

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    "Fear not, for your wish is granted now."

    I've tried that. Have already gained all possible rewards, signed in to LIVE while playing the game, and tried it with three different Heroes (or Ogres?). All those folks have all the contents, including the Bonus Content and all redeemed web rewards. The same thing went to the fourth and fifth Hero.

    As I explained before (based on my experience), there is no need to re-download the contents, both Bonus one and web rewards. Post anything if you still in doubt.

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    FYI people, don't blame me because I suggest you to start a new game with new Hero just to open the chest to obtain all contents you fancy so much. So far, that's the ONLY solution, like it or not. I know it's annoying, I know it's rubbish, but please make up your mind that it WASN'T me who created this game and all its features.

    No need for nagging or whining. Love it or leave it, mate. If you fancy that Halo armor (as well your web rewards) so much, I bet you won't mind "going through the distance". But if you still fancy those things so much yet you want to grab it anytime you want them without even have to start a new game...

    Go contact Lionhead for that. I don't exactly have the answer for that. Neither I'm the lead designer nor senior programmer, you know.

    I did the website flash game and got the rewards fine on my first playthrough, but on my second one the chest simply told me to go to www.fable2.com. I went there and it told me that I'd already gotten my prizes and couldn't get them again.

    Is there anyway to refresh this download so I can access my prizes in future. I'll be sad if I can NEVER get all of the expressions for a hero ever again!

    No need to do that, mate. As I already explained, if you opened the chest before and already obtained any item from it (be it Bonus Content, redeemed web rewards or both) you will no longer be able to use that chest, even if you find the chest's still intact (closed). The web rewards (and Bonus Content as well) can be obtained by several Heroes (up to 6 Heroes per game profile, based on the game's save slots) without have to re-download/redeem the content again.

    Would you mind to describe in detail what problem you might have there? Did your second Hero open the chest before? What did you do before you try to open the chest with your second Hero?

    Sure, mate. The Limited Collector's Edition is actually Fable II Standard Edition with some nice bonuses. Well, they were nice, before being released for free...

    Anyway you can still keep your saves and play them, regardless what edition you buy. Make sure to redeem the code inside the Limited Collector's Edition to get your Bonus Content.

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    I believe what he's saying is that his first hero opened the chest, got the G o o d [Good]s, no problem.  His SECOND hero, however (and by second, I mean new save, new hero from the ground up)  is getting the go to www.fable2.com message when he tries to open the chest on that particular file. 

    Do you know how to fix that?  I sure don't...

    Also, what is one to do if they've already finished the flash site games and gotten the rewards, but when they start up Fable 2, the chest STILL says to go to the web site?  This is assuming the chest has NEVER been opened by the hero on the file, and the player is logged in to Xbox Live with the same account used to acquire the bonus web content.  I'm not having this problem, but I've seen a few people on the forums who have, and I thought maybe someone could shed some light on the issue.

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    Where's my God damn post? Is this forum's have bug too? Hey Sam, I've already posted an updated info here, but it's missing...

    Dear Lord, might as well repeat it again...

    G o o d [Good] day,

    Updated Info

    Damn, I forgot what I said before... This is all I can remember...

    ※ In order to be able to obtain your redeemed A Hero's Tales reward(s) in-game, you HAVE TO STAY CONNECTED TO XBOX LIVE WITH YOUR PROFILE WHEN YOU OPEN THE CHEST LIED NEXT TO THE CULLIS GATE IN THE CHAMBER OF FATE. Failed to do so will prevent you to obtain your redeemed reward(s), thus only give you the Bonus Content (assuming you own the Limited Collector's Edition and downloaded the Bonus Content) without any of your redeemed reward(s).

    ※ So far this is the only way to obtain the web reward(s) you redeemed so far, at least at the time I write this. I confirmed this myself when trying to figure out why my girlfriend's missing her rewards, and accidentally found that she DIDN'T CONNECTED TO XBOX LIVE WITH HER PROFILE WHILE OPENED THE CHEST. I do, however, always connected to Xbox LIVE whenever I play Fable II, just in case there's an update to fix all the bugs and glitches to be downloaded. So I never had any problem to obtain my own rewards from A Hero's Tales.

    ※ In my personal opinion, there's a reason why Lionhead made it this way: they probably want the reward(s) to be accessible (and obtainable as well) only for profiles which already redeemed the rewards. Unlike Bonus Content, which can be "permanently" saved to your harddrive, this web rewards is nowhere to be found in your harddrive, but it's "there", means the redeemed rewards have already been linked with your profile and you'll be able to obtain them as long as you stay connected to Xbox LIVE when you open the treasure chest.

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    To happynoodleboy,

    G o o d [Good] day,

    I just tested what you said recently and here's what I can confirm:

    A Hero's Tales Rewards, listed as below:

    ※ A set of Chicken Suit.
    ※ Apocalyptic Pink, a 5-star dye.
    ※ An expression book of Feign Attack.
    ※ A set of Lionhead tattoos, for head and body.
    ※ A Hero doll, a doll of your Hero.


    Bonus Content, listed as below:

    ※ A set of Hal's Equipment, a full set armor from headgear to feet.
    ※ An Energy Sword, known as Hal's sword.
    ※ A title, free to purchase from any Town Crier, named Master Chief.
    ※ A new dungeon named Hall of the Dead (can be found in Bloodstone, at pier).
    ※ A legendary Cutlass named The Wreckager (can be found in Hall of the Dead dungeon, see above).


    These suggestions are divided to fit into two type of users, which are:


    LCE Users with Bonus Content

    I assume you already have:

    - The treasure chest next to the Cullis Gate in the Chamber of Fate remains intact, means the chest has never been opened/used before. Note that you don't have to start a new game, as long as the chest remains intact and never been opened before. Otherwise you should (and have to) start a new game with a new Hero.

    - All the rewards redeemed. To redeem reward(s), in the end of A Hero's Tales after you chose one ending option, there's a screen telling you how you can redeem your reward. Follow the on-screen instruction and sign-in with your gamer profile to redeem the reward(s). Note that you don't have to have all the rewards available, just make sure any reward(s) you've achieved is redeemed in order to make that/those reward(s) to be valid and linked to your gamer profile.

    - The Bonus Content downloaded. The content is stored in Fable II section, under the Games section in your harddrive, which you can access by entering System tab and select Memory section.

    - Your gamer profile connected to Xbox LIVE, and make sure you stay connected before opening the chest.

    In order to obtain your redeemed reward(s), here's what you can do:

    - Open the treasure chest lied next to the Cullis Gate (make sure your gamer profile is online; to check your online status simply press the Xbox Guide button in your gamepad).

    - The first items you should receive - according to my gameplay session - are the Bonus Content items (see above), then followed by your redeemed reward(s). After the chest opened and the items obtained, the game will autosave.


    Standard Users without Bonus Content

    I assume you already have:

    - The treasure chest next to the Cullis Gate in the Chamber of Fate remains intact, means the chest has never been opened/used before. Note that you don't have to start a new game, as long as the chest remains intact and never been opened before. Otherwise you should (and have to) start a new game with a new Hero.

    - All the rewards redeemed. To redeem reward(s), in the end of A Hero's Tales after you chose one ending option, there's a screen telling you how you can redeem your reward. Follow the on-screen instruction and sign-in with your gamer profile to redeem the reward(s). Note that you don't have to have all the rewards available, just make sure any reward(s) you've achieved is redeemed in order to make that/those reward(s) to be valid and linked to your gamer profile.

    - Your gamer profile connected to Xbox LIVE, and make sure you stay connected before opening the chest.

    In order to obtain your redeemed reward(s), here's what you can do:

    - Open the treasure chest lied next to the Cullis Gate (make sure your gamer profile is online; to check your online status simply press the Xbox Guide button in your gamepad).

    - The first item you should receive - according to my gameplay session - is the Chicken Suit headgear (see above), a part of your Chicken Suit set (assuming you redeemed the Chicken Suit set), then followed by your other redeemed reward(s), if any. The order of the item you'll receive/obtain may or may not random and may vary, depends on what reward you've redeemed so far. After the chest opened and the items obtained, the game will autosave.

    I hope this will help folks having difficulties with Bonus Content and/or A Hero's Tales Rewards. I apologize if there's any mispell or mistype and any grammatical error.

    Please reply anything if you still in doubt or have any question regarding Bonus Content and/or A Hero's Tales Rewards. I'll try to test it as soon as possible and will post the result here.

    Re: Chamber of Fate's Treasure Chest: Read This For Possible Solution(s)

    I only found out about the Fable II web games after I had opened the chest in the 'Chamber of Fate'. I've since completed the web games and earned one of the prizes. Is it possible to transfer these items to my current hero if the chest is already opened?  I have tried searching the chest again, but to no avail.

    I'm actually only looking to obtain the Feign Attack expression book, so I can get the Completionist Achievement, but it seems that now the chest is open, its not possible.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I am willing to give the Dollcatcher and Completionist Achievement in exchange for the Red Dragon.
