Need help with The Rescue side quest in Fable II? Follow our step-by-step guide to navigate the Hobbe Cave in Rookridge, defeat the Hobbes, and save your child.

Alright, so you've gotten yourself into a bit of a pickle! This quest, 'The Rescue,' pops up from your spouse after you've returned from the Spire. Basically, your kiddo has wandered off into the Hobbe Cave over in Rookridge. Don't worry, we'll get them back safe and sound.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to Rookridge and make your way to the Hobbe Cave. You know the drill – follow the path until you reach the entrance.
  2. 2
    Once inside, just keep pushing through the tunnels. You'll eventually hit a circular room packed with a bunch of Hobbes. Take 'em out!
  3. 3
    After clearing that room, continue on through the next set of tunnels. You'll come to another open area with a few more Hobbes. Look for the ramps and make your way up to the top, then head into the tunnel you see there.
  4. 4
    You'll have another small skirmish with some Hobbes. Keep going through the tunnel until you spot an opening on your right. Go through that opening.
  5. 5
    Clear out the Hobbes in this new area, then go up the ramp. Take the first entrance on your left and follow the corridor. This leads to a larger room where you'll find some enemies and a few cages.
  6. 6
    As you're fighting the enemies in this room, keep an eye out for one of the Hobbes dropping a cage key. Once you've dealt with all the hostiles, grab that key, unlock the cage, and voilà – your child is safe!
  7. 7
    Now, the only thing left to do is make your escape. Head back to the tunnel you came from and take a right. Fight your way back up through the Hobbes, and you'll find a ladder. Climb that ladder to officially complete the quest.
Tips
  • The Hobbe Cave can get a little crowded, so make sure you've got some decent crowd-control spells or weapons ready.
  • Don't forget to grab that cage key! It's easy to get caught up in the fight and miss it.
  • The path back out is pretty straightforward, just retrace your steps and keep moving.
