Need help with the "Something Rotten" side quest in Fable II? Follow our step-by-step walkthrough to find the mine, defeat the troll, and collect your reward.

Alright, let's get this "Something Rotten" quest sorted out. First things first, you'll need to head to the Rookridge Inn and chat with Joseph. He's the one who'll kick things off for you.

Once you've got the quest, step outside and make your way up the hill. You're looking for the train tracks – hop on those and follow them until you hit a blockage. Just work your way around it, and you should spot the entrance to a mine shaft right there.

Head inside the mine. It's a pretty straightforward tunnel at first, so just keep moving forward. You'll find a chest along the way, so be sure to grab that loot! Eventually, you'll reach a large open area. You need to get down to the lower level, which will lead you into a circular room. Surprise! There's a troll waiting for you.

This is a standard troll fight, so use the tactics you've learned. Once you've dealt with the troll, make sure to loot the chest that's behind him. After that, it's time to backtrack out of the mine. Head back to the Rookridge Inn and report back to Joseph to claim your reward for dealing with the rotten situation.
