Solus Greatsword is a legendary greatsword in Fable, Fable: The Lost Chapters, and Fable Anniversary. In Fable, it comes with three augmentation slots filled with Flame, Health, and Sharpening, but in Fable: The Lost Chapters, it comes with only Flame and Sharpening, with its third slot empty. If you put a second Sharpening augmentation on it, it will do the same amount of damage as The Bereaver, should The Bereaver have 2 Sharpening augmentations, as well. Both of these weapons will then have the highest damage of all melee weapons in the game (345).

Description[]

The legendary Solus of the mystical dragonknights, this weapon is held in awe by swordmasters and combatants of Albion alike.

How to Acquire[]

To obtain the Solus Greatsword, the Hero must have completed The Arena quest. By doing this, the Hero will gain access to Bowerstone North. Alternatively you can use the Bowerstone North Early Glitch to get the sword as early as Wasp Menace. The Solus Greatsword is sold there for a high price (77,900 average), which varies based on the Hero's alignment. In Fable The Lost Chapters, you can buy it for about 69,000 to 70,000 gold.

However, if the Hero has married Lady Grey, he can court her by giving her gifts and flirting with her. Eventually she will give him the Solus Greatsword (with no augments) as a gift. However, receiving an unaugmented version from Lady Grey seems to be exclusive to the Xbox version.

Notes[]

  • This weapon does more damage than the Bereaver, and as such can be used as an alternative; this means you don't have to spend your silver keys.
  • However, in Fable TLC, if you should put a sharpening augmentation in the Solus Greatsword's free slot, and two sharpening augmentations in the Bereaver's two free slots, they will do the same amount of damage (345).
  • Despite the description indicating it was used by Dragonknights, every statue of Holdr (the commander of the Dragonknights) depicts him with different weaponry, not the Solus Greatsword.
  • A common misconception amongst fans is that "Solus" is the name of the person who wielded the sword. When in reality, Solus is the name of the sword itself.
