Complete The Hero of Skill mission in fable 2. Requires 20,000 renown to impress Reaver and involves choices affecting morality.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the path to the town center and descend into Bloodstone. You will be prompted by Theresa to go to Reaver’s House. Enter and talk to Reaver. He will tell you to return when you have more renown.
  2. 2
    If you do not have 20,000 renown, complete side-quests to earn it.
  3. 3
    Return to Reaver once you have sufficient renown. After the conversation, pick up the seal from the desk and exit the mansion.
  4. 4
    Fast travel to the Drowned Farm in Wraithmarsh. Kill the banshee that has returned.
  5. 5
    Continue past the left path you used earlier to get to Bloodstone. Look for a doorway up a hill on the right. Use the seal to unlock the door and enter the Shadow Court.
  6. 6
    Follow the passage downwards. Look for a weak wall on the left to break down for a chest.
  7. 7
    Continue down the stairs and around the corner to a room filled with shadow monsters. Destroy them all.
  8. 8
    On the left side of this room, break open a boarded-up door to find a chest.
  9. 9
    From the room where you fought the shadows, take the stairs down and walk to the end of the hallway. Turn right and you will see a spike trap hallway. Time your run across the spikes or use slow time to quickly reach the other side.
  10. 10
    Once across the spike traps, turn around and shoot the gargoyle above the door on the far side.
  11. 11
    Grab the chest in front of you and step on the pressure pad to open the gate.
  12. 12
    Look back down the spike hallway and above the door on the far side, shoot the gargoyle.
  13. 13
    Continue through the unlocked gate into a larger room. Fight four waves of shadow creatures (Hobbes to balvarines).
  14. 14
    After defeating the creatures, the gate to the next area will open. Before continuing, look in the back left corner of the room for a breakable wall. Knock it down to find a silver key inside.
  15. 15
    Walk up to the woman and speak with her. You will have 20 seconds to decide whether yourself or Elizabeth’s youth will be sacrificed. Giving the seal to Elizabeth is the evil choice, while sacrificing your own is the good choice. Whoever is holding the seal when time runs out will be transformed.
