[edit] Preparations
At this point you should have Plate Armour or at least Chainmail, without it Jack can inflict massive damage. Its also a wise decision to convert the rest of your EXP into your Strength, Skill, and Will as powerful skills. It is a good idea to take the Oak Longbow that you see on a dead hero before you walked into the Chamber of Fate. It's a weak weapon but if you have nothing stronger its recommended you use it.
[edit] Battle
[edit] First Form
After a cinematic, you get to fight Jack of Blades. Your Skill is somewhat obsolete here, so use spells like Battle Charge and Emflame and bash him with your sword to kill him. Don't run into him when he's swinging the Sword of Aeons as it causes a rather large amount of damage. After depleting his health to its last quarter, he turns into his final form. A good method is to use Slow Time, Beserk and Physical Shield.
[edit] Final Form
During this stage Jack will summon endless Minions and melee attacks are useless against him. Rocks emerge from the ground which can be used as cover for Jack's two ranged attacks. There are two popular methods to use against him in this form to knock him out of the sky. It is a good idea to have a multi arrow spell.
[edit] Method A: The Matrix Method
The Matrix Method is named so because it involves the repeated use of Slow Time, this method is used more by experienced players. As soon as you can move, immediately cast Slow Time and unleash a flurry of arrows or ranged Will Powers, dodging his powerful attacks when needed. If done correctly with a decently powered up Slow Time you can take him out in little more that ten to fifteen seconds (less depending of the level of Slow Time, the bow used or the level of will powers)
[edit] Method B: The Cover Method
A more basic method often used by first time players. Hide behind one of the rocks and wait until Jack finishes his attacks. When he does, unleash a flurry of arrows or use strong, ranged will powers. Evading his attacks successfully by hiding behind the rocks is sometimes difficult because of Minion interruption.
Minions can easily be stopped using Ghost Sword. The swords will hit the minions and lead them away from you while you can continue to attack Jack of Blades.
[edit] Conclusion
After watching his death, you finally walk up to your now conscious sister. You get the decision to either keep the Sword of Aeons and murder your sister to unlock its full power (Evil) or discard the Sword into the portal and rid yourself of it forever (Good). At the end of the bout you will receive Jack's Mask. The story ends here in Fable, in The Lost Chapters however there is more.
[edit] Trivia
- If you try to kill Theresa with any magic weapons, other than the Sword of Aeons, she will drop an unlimited amount of respective eperience orbs and won't die. This is a prime location for players to acquire a lot of experience orbs so they can later power up their character in the Guild.If you hit her with any other normal weapon or spell, then she will just give you an unlimited amount of skill for that attack you are using.
