Silver Keys – Fable III

Welcome to our Fable III silver keys section!

Silver Keys are pretty much synonymous with the Fable games at this point, and Fable III isn’t stingy with them, as you’ll find a grand total of 50 scattered across Albion. You’ll have to find all of these, in addition to the four Gold Keys up for grabs, in order to earn the I am the Keymaster achievement. Of course, Silver Keys are also used to open the game’s many Silver Chests, and you’ll need all 50 if you want to open every single one. Consult our guide below for the locations of each and every one in the game.

Silver Keys Locations

Bowerstone Castle 1/2

fable iii bowerstone castle 1 silver key

In the rear courtyard after becoming King or Queen, head to the entrance to The Catacombs and take a left all the way to the wall. You’ll find the Silver Key behind the statue of a previous ruler.

Bowerstone Castle 2/2 (The Catacombs)

fable iii bowerstone castle 2 silver key

The first Silver Key you’re likely to come across is in the Catacombs. After entering the cave proper, continue to the left and you’ll come across the Silver Key just off the main path just as it begins to turn right.

Bowerstone Industrial 1/4

fable iii bowerstone industrial 1 silver key

This Silver Key requires a bit of puzzling to acquire. Near the docks and the sewer exit to Mourningwood, you’ll find a factory (it’s the one The Voice begins in, if you have the Understone Quest Pack DLC). The Silver Key is up on the catwalk, but inaccessible due to some steam vents around it. To solve the puzzle you’ll need to manipulate the levers by turning the vents on and off. For the less adventurous, the correct order to turn the levers should be: rear left, front right, rear right, rear left, front right, front left, rear right, rear left.

Bowerstone Industrial 2/4

fable iii bowerstone industrial 2 silver key

You’ll only be able to obtain this Silver Key after returning from Aurora and becoming ruler of Albion. Go to the factory by the docks you broke into during your boat hijacking session, and you’ll find the crates inside have been reorganised to let you climb up to the second floor. You’ll find the Silver Key inside the elevator.

Bowerstone Industrial 3/4 (The Sewers)

fable iii bowerstone industrial 3 silver key

You’ll likely first spot this Silver Key when entering the Bowerstone Resistance headquarters for the first time, behind bars, but you’ll have to enter from a secondary door underneath the large crane in Bowerstone Industrial to get to the other side. Take the right-hand tunnel as you enter to claim the Silver Key as your own.

Bowerstone Industrial 4/4 (The Cesspools)

fable iii bowerstone industrial 4 silver key

The Cesspools can be found by entering a trapdoor in a building across from the Bowerstone Shelter (or Brothel, depending on your decisions). After diving into a murky pond from Nigel’s hideout, you’ll enter into a sewer tunnel. Turn right and you’ll see a wooden barricade covering a hole. Smash it with your choice of attack and grab the Silver Key inside.

Bowerstone Market 1/3

fable iii bowerstone market 1 silver key

Search for this Silver Key along the Market’s canalside – it’s on the side with the vendor stalls. Look for a bunch of small boats and run behind the crates to find it, along with a chest.

Bowerstone Market 2/3

fable iii bowerstone market 2 silver key

For this Silver Key, check the backyard of the Hauteville Heights house, near the exit to Bowerstone Castle.

Bowerstone Market 3/3

Bowerstone Old Quarter 1/2

This Silver Key is somewhat well hidden unless you enter every house you come across. Check the second floor of the Nightshade House, at the top of the hill leading to the small park. Either buy the house or break in to claim the key.

Bowerstone Old Quarter 2/2

The second Silver Key in the Old Quarter can be found near the shore. Upon leaving through the gate, vault down the ledge and turn right. Head towards the cliff wall and you’ll find this Silver Key.

Brightwall Village 1/5

fable iii brightwall village 1 silver key

Before entering the village itself, continue along the path coming in from Mistpeak, past the bridge, and you’ll come across a house and a smaller bridge. Turn left after crossing and head down the stairs; the Silver Key is underneath the small bridge overlooking the cliffside.

Brightwall Village 2/5

Brightwall Village 4/5 (The Reliquary)

fable iii brightwall village 4 silver key

At a certain point in your travels through the Reliquary, you’ll dive off a broken bridge into a small lake. Continue to the end of the large chamber shortly after, and you’ll come across a door in the wall surrounded by six torches, with one of them lit. Equip your Fireball Spell Gauntlet, light the remaining torches and the door will open, revealing the Silver Key inside.

Brightwall Village 5/5 (The Reliquary)

Climb along the side path and you’ll find yourself above the room with the rising platforms, with a lever at the very top. Pull the lever and fight some Hollow Men that appear; this will raise a staircase in the platform room. Vault down and climb up the staircase, follow the platforms, and continue to the Silver Key.

City of Aurora 1/2

Heading up past the Demon Door to Shifting Sands, turn right just past the two flags. You’ll see this Silver Key tucked behind a large rock.

City of Aurora 2/2

This tricky Silver Key is quite well-hidden. From the market at the centre of the city, take the road up past the pawnbroker’s shop and you’ll come across a large shrine (if you made Aurora a colony and mined it, the shrine is gone and you’ll have to head through the fence around the mine entrance). Take the small path to the right and vault your way down onto the roofs. The Silver Key is resting on an archway above the street and is fairly hard to miss once you’re up there.
