The Key to a Greater Key – Fable III

This guide will help you complete The Key to a Greater Key quest in Fable III.

The Key to a Greater Key Walkthrough

This is an exceptionally short quest that only becomes available after completing the game. However, as its name implies, there’s more than meets the eye with this one. Speak to a man called Vallo in the market district of the City of Aurora, and he’ll offer to sell you a key for 4,000 gold. It’s a trivial sum at this point, so give it up and he’ll hand you an Ancient Key, along with 5 Guild Seals.

What’s the key for? Why, to find another key, of course. Head out to Shifting Sands and make your way to the very end of the desert. You’ll find a canyon in the far-left area, leading to the entrance to a dungeon called the Crossroads of Passing. Inside, you’ll find another floor-raising puzzle like what you saw in The Reliquary and the Dark Sanctum. You’ll need to raise paths to both the left and right rooms to press the floor switches, and later to the last door that opens when you’ve pressed both.

If you want to avoid the enemies entirely, the correct order to reach the left room is left, left, forward, forward. The correct order for the room on the right is forward, right, forward, right. Head up from the room on the right two times to reach the final door.

At the end of the path you’ll find what is likely your final Gold Key. Use it wisely!
