Assassination Society

  • Edit source
  • View history

The Assassination Society is a guild of assassins who take contracts for killing people, not to be confused with the Highwayman's Guild who wear identical clothing to assassins of The Society. The Hero in Fable II has the chance to work for The Society as a job for money and evil points .

The Society has a very lax criteria for accepting contracts, serving anyone who meets their price. If the Hero chooses to join The Society, some contracts will have explanations like "Makes the most annoying chewing noise" or "Believed to be a witch. The Society does not require proof".

The Society will either approach the Hero for jobs the first time the hero visits Bowerstone Old Town if he/she chose to give Arfur the warrants in the prologue. The second chance to start this job depends on whether or not you help the Temple of Light or the Temple of Shadows before entering the Tattered Spire . If you helped the Temple of Shadows then when you come back to Oakfield , 10 years later, the Temple of Light will be in ruins and the agent for the assassination society can appear there. Thirdly, if the hero does the Red Harvest quest then there will be opportunities to do assassination jobs at Giles's Farm . The last place to start this job is in Bloodstone . The agent can also appear there and is not affected by any decisions by the Hero.

Each mission involves killing a citizen of Albion . Each job is randomly generated and may involve any of the following stipulations:

  • The deed must be done in daylight/darkness.
  • The deed must have witnesses/no witnesses.
  • The target may be paranoid, have guards, or not.

The only confirmed member of The Society (besides the Hero) is Mr. Blank, your contact for missions. However, if the Hero gives the arrest warrants to Arfur , the latter arranges a meeting with The Society for the Hero, implying that he has connections to The Society, or at least uses their services. It seems (from Arfur's dialogue) that his boss, the notorious organized crime boss Nicky the Nickname , has connections to them as well.

Possible ways to kill your target include: melee, ranged attacks, and Will spells. You cannot, however, let anyone or anything else kill it for you. For instance: leading your target into the Hobbe Cave in Rookridge and letting the hobbes kill the target will not work. The only exception to this is the Wheel of Unholy Misfortune in the Temple of Shadows . If the wheel lands on a killing option, that will suffice. If the wheel lands on one of the other choices, such as Turn into Chicken, then a new NPC will spawn beside the Wheel as a replacement assassination target.

Side Quests - The Hit

Forsaken Fortress

To unlock this quest, you'll need to collect four sketch fragments from groups of assassins that try to kill you later in the game. These assassins dress in all black with bandanas around their heads. You can collect one sketch fragment from each of the following four areas: Bower Lake, Brightwood, Bandit Coast and Westcliff. When all four are collected, go to Brightwood to find the Assassins' Guild's hideout.

The glowing trail will lead you to the Forsaken Fortress in the southwest corner of Brightwood. Once in the fortress, expect to fight off countless assassins. Make your way north and follow the paths around until you encounter Darius, who likes to taunt you. He looks pretty normal but he teleports around, making him a bit difficult to elude. Thankfully, dying doesn't matter in this game and you can just kill him however quickly or slowly you choose.

How do I level up Assassination Jobs?

Fable ii (xbox 360).

  • Can anyone help me out with the assassination jobs. I have done at least 5, maybe six of these jobs for the assassination group, but I keep getting one-star risk assignments. I expected this to progress at least to 2 in this the first 5 jobs, but can anyone tell me when this changes? sub780lime - 14 years ago - report

  • It is random yes but at the the same time it depends on what you have done in the past effects what you get now. The more decisions that you make that would negatively affect the status of Albion will help to determine the level of Assasinations that you will recieve. Such as: If when you were a child and did not help make the Bowerstone Old town a better place, I experienced an average of a 4 Star ranking (doing 9 assasination quests) in my olderdays when they were availible. On the other hand when I helped make it a better place, and just to clarify this is the only difference in both gameplays to the point where the quests are availible. When I made bowerstone Old town better by turning in the warrants, I got an average 3 star ranking. I havent tested it with anything else but the more depreciated the state of the nation is, the more it will affect what level assasinations there are because in a more corrupt and vile world, there will be more chaos and hence, more chances for "improvements" Slasher424242 - 14 years ago - report 8   0
  • You actually don't, it's simply a random chance of what level the job will be. Alorwin - 14 years ago - report 7   0
  • They seem to be based on some combination of Story Progress (further the better), Renown (higher the better), alignment (eviller the better), and maybe economy (Dunno if higher or lower is better). It seems easier to swing then Bounty Hunting, but 5-star missions for both are incredibly rare- I only saw one for Bounty Hunting my entire good-guy playthrough.

  • As you progress through the game the Ai gives a randomly harder level so at the end of the game you expect to have 3 to 5 star assassinations. fudgicnuts - 14 years ago - report 0   0

  • That's dumb. It should have a progressive quest base so I can takeover the Assassination society. sub780lime - 14 years ago - report 1   9
