Part 3

Find the 'Dangerous Things: Gunpowder' book in Fable III. Learn its location in Bowerstone Industrial's Cesspools and its contents.

Alright, let's track down another one of those lore books for you. This one's called "Dangerous Things: Gunpowder," written by the ever-so-cautious Dr. Horatio Slacks. It's part of his "Dangerous Things" series, and honestly, the title alone tells you it's probably not a light read. ### Where to Find It You'll find this particular book chilling in the cesspools area, which is a sub-section of Bowerstone Industrial. The easiest way to get there is to fast travel to the Wooble-Fuddlebuck-Glimborg Mansion. It's right across from the orphanage. Once you're there, head inside and look for a trap door on the first floor – that's your entrance to the Cesspools. Quick heads-up: If you haven't gone through the Kidnapped side quest yet, that trap door might be locked. You'll need to have accepted the key from that quest to get in before the Revolution. Once you're in the Cesspools, just follow the hallway into the main room. You'll spot the book sitting on a wooden table towards the back left side of the area. ### What's Inside? Dr. Slacks really goes into detail about gunpowder, calling it "the most destructive tool ever devised by Man." He muses on how it's changed warfare, making it easier for anyone to take down a trained soldier. He even wonders if it could spell the end of chivalry and mercy. Pretty heavy stuff! But he also adds a very practical, and frankly, terrifying warning: don't light off fireworks in your hand. He stresses that the pain is "unthinkably horrible." So yeah, maybe leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals in Albion! This book is listed alongside other rare books in the game, like "Alchemy and Immortality" and "The Tyranny of Tyrants."
