Hobbe Squatters – Fable II

This guide will help you complete the Hobbe Squatters quest in Fable II.

Hobbe Squatters Walkthrough

Following your stint as one of Lucien’s guards on The Spire, you’ll meet a peculiar cross-dressing man named Tommy at the Temple of Light who tells you that he’s been kicked out of his “cozy little cavern” by a family of hobbes. He wants you to venture into his cave (Echo Mine) and slay the beasts so that he can go home. To get started, fast-travel to the Rookridge Road here in Oakfield and head north, killing any of the hobbe resistance outside of the mine.

Once you’re in Echo Mine, you’ll be moving through several hobbe-infested rooms. In each of these, you’ll find a piece of diary chronicling one man’s transformation into a hobbe (the full story can be gleaned by reading Cave Diary Page 1, Cave Diary Page 2, Cave Diary Page 3, Cave Diary Page 4, and Cave Diary Page 5). Your objective here is to kill all fifteen hobbes and their leader, therefore allowing Tommy to return to his “home”. When the leader is dead, ransack the Obsidian Java Potion from the final chest and then return to the cave entrance to report the good news to the cross-dressing homemaker.

Apparently your buddy Tommy wanted you to get eaten and isn’t too happy to see that you’ve managed to kill all the hobbes. Give the freak the cruelest death possible, then loot Tommy’s Cavern Key from his corpse. Nice! You now have your own little cave to live in. Upon exiting the mine, you’ll receive 3500 renown points and the Hobbe Leg trophy.
