The Cerebellum

This is to clear up the difference between what is considered “Rare” and what is a “Common” Legendary Weapon in Fable 3. Rare weapons are found in Chests, Demon Doors and Gold Doors. Common weapons are bought in shops or gained on quests.

These listed are the only Legendary Weapons you need to get the “We Need Guns, Lots Of Guns” achievement, which is 50 in total, there are a few others that are DLC and do not count toward the ‘cheevo.

The Legendary Weapons that are considered “Rare” can be found in the 10 silver key chest in MourningWood, a Gold Door with a Rare is in The Ossuary, (also in MourningWood) and a 20 silver key chest in Millfields. There is a Gold Door in Sunset House area and a chest inside Sunset House that each have one Rare. The Demon Door in Mistpeak Valley also contains a Rare (which requires Co-op to open). After buying the fort in MouringWood and then scoring 2000 points in the mortar game awards you another Rare (thanks ElevatedPit6503). The next ones are accessible after opening Aurora, as there is a 20 key silver chest and a Demon Door in the city. The key to the chest in your Sanctuary treasury can be reached once you’ve amassed 5 million gold.  Another one is available only if you choose to mine the City of Aurora, (which is a crappy that you have to mess the city to get the Weapon). And finally the 50 key chest in Bowerstone Castle. Which means you can get 12 Rares on each play-through.

The Common weapons can be bought in shops and with a limited number of common weapons in one heroes world, (3 shops with 4 weapons each) you will need to trade or shop in others worlds.

Since there is only 12 rares available in one heroes world, the best way to get more rares is to play-through with new heroes. Expecting to trade a Rare for a Common is unlikely to happen. And as money has no real value to anyone who has played enough to be near collecting all the weapons, gold is not a trade-able asset. Also creating an other profile with a second controller, gives you the ability to not only have more heroes to collect rares but also you can use that profile to trade weapons between your main profile’s heroes.

Brutal Legend is a Double Fine Production, and EA release, out now for Xbox 360, and PS3.

The story is entertaining and well laid out, the cut scenes are very well directed and it plays out like you would think of a Hollywood movie with unlimited budget and Jack Black as the star. The voice acting is top notch, with Jack Black being himself, Tim Curry does an excellent job as the villain, also with other voices you will recognize. The music playlist is rocking, with many ‘80s metal bands, if you bought your metal on vinyl then this game will be music to your ears.

You play Eddie Riggs a displaced roadie who can walk, run, use axe, and an ax (stringed). He can take to the air during stage battles for a top down command view. There is no ability to jump which can be frustrating when you get stuck in an area and have to summon the deuce or reload a check point. I’m sure Eddie Riggs would say something like, “Jumping is for sissies in spandex and makeup.” It does seem to be a button masher in combat, even though you can use some combos and solos for attacks and buffs. The Deuce is a very welcome addition since the map is large and running would be a bore. It has a nitro boost and other upgrades that can be added at the motor forge. The upgrades include primary and secondary weapons as well as engine and ramming abilities. The motor forge is also where you can spend your fire tributes for axe and ax enhancements.
