Demon Doors
By Dtone
The first section of this guide covers Demon Door locations while the rest of the guide has more detailed information on how to open them, and the rewards inside.

Keep in mind that this is the first guide I've made, and your feedback in the comments and in the ratings would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

WARNING: I do my best to block spoilers in the first section of this guide, but the more detailed sections have some storyline spoilers that I have in spoiler boxes. If you do not want to know, do not hover over the black areas in the text. Also, if you do not want to know how to open the doors, or whats inside, do not move on to the detailed section of the guide because this information is why I made the detailed sections and that information will not be in spoiler boxes.

After perusing the readme file, I found a section on demon doors that wasn't displayed on the authors Nexus page. Apparently he upped the combat multiplayer needed to open the door to an insane x28. So the problem was on my end.
Thanks for responding though. I appreciate it.
Dtone  [author] 22 Jan, 2024 @ 5:11pm 
Sorry Nichronos, I can't say I've ever heard of this issue. Does the overhaul mod affect the combat multiplier somehow? What mod is it?
Nichronos 19 Jan, 2024 @ 2:16pm 
The Butterfly House Demon door in the Greatwood caves area won't open, even when I talk to him with a x20-21 combat multiplier. Any suggestions? I do have an overhaul mod installed but it it shouldn't effect the demon doors at all.

This definitely goes without saying. Only do the Necropolis demon door once you've gotten every silver key and opened every silver key chest, including the one with the archon battle armor. Cause if you hand over all your keys before you open it, you'll miss your opportunity

For the lost garden, you don't need to marry to Lady Grey. As long as you are married to (almost) any NPC, it will let you though.

Thanks! Was having trouble with a few!

i just want to mention that the first door in the library arcanum (the one that you need a lamp to open) can still be opened after you do the "Try to Stop Jack of Blades" quest, this was only missable in the original fable game, but seeing as anniversary and TLC have the DLC the guild is accessible again after that mission is finished, meaning the daemon door is once again accessible and easily opened.
Dtone  [author] 20 Feb, 2018 @ 1:03pm 
Thanks!

Brilliant guide, thank you!

@Gunter90 An easy way to get the door to open is to eat about 25 Crunchy Chicks in front of the door. Buy them from various traveling traders or the General Trader in Twinblade's Camp. A little secret I learned when I played the original on Xbox XD.
