Fable – Sword In The Stone Quest<
At any point when you reach the Chapel of Avo, you can take a small road up a hill to the left that leads around the Chapel and to a sword that is concealed in stone. You will notice there are a small group of men all competing to pull the sword from the stone but are all failing pretty miserably.
Talk to one of the bystanders and he will go on to explain the history of the sword and how it came to be, mentioning that only the strongest of heroes could possibly hope to remove this mighty sword from the stone. Little does he know that you are that hero. You can attempt to pull the sword out if you wish, but if this is your first visit to the Chapel of Avo or your character just isn’t very well developed in strength then it’s unlikely that you will have any success at this point.
There are two methods of removing the sword from the stone:
- Increase your physique stats to 5, health stats to 2 and toughness stats to 3. For some bizarre reason it has to be this exact amount, even 1 point higher and you will not have any luck.
- Increase all of your strength stats to maximum.
Once you have succeeded in attaining either of the two above examples, then you will be able to do the job. Simply press your accept button while standing next to the sword and a quick cutscene will show you pulling the sword out with ease, completing the side quest and earning yourself 100 gold, 100 renown and oh yes, the Harbinger longsword.
