Fable II

There are six different dolls to collect. Out of these six, one of them is the Hero Doll, which can be found in most shops throughout Albion in everyone's game. The other one can be won by getting the second prize in the Westcliff Shooting Gallery. This will differ from everyone's game, therefore making the use of trading necessary. You are able to get as many dolls from the Shooting Gallery as you'd like, so you'll have more than enough to trade with others.

Or you could use the guide below:

I've helped 500+ gamers unlock this achievement and I have no intention of stopping. Players join my game, and I will do the rest. The procedure is swift and requires nothing from you except that you have both of the DLC's installed. This can be either the free versions or the paid, premium ones.

As long as this solution is up, I'm offering the help. Simply send me a friend request, and a message stating the reason you've added me, and I'll help you the next time I'm free.

Edit 2023-02-01:
Seeing how old this solution is, and that we all inevitably have to grow up, with work duties and families to take care of, my help is nowadays very limited. I still host sessions every now and then. I have, however, seen a growth of other community members who offer their help after I initiated it roughly 10 years ago. Here's to another 10! If not me, I hope someone else will reach out to you.

Unlock this, and every other Fable II achievement in the Fable II Walkthrough

I got three solutions for you - choose one:

1st solution: Go to Westcliff and win the Second Prize in the Shooting Range - it will be a Doll. It is a good way to improve your success in the Shooting Range while you aim for the First Prize - you may get some Dolls by doing so, till you claim the First Prize, which is The Red Dragon (a fairly great Legendary Ranged Weapon). You get only the same Doll, regardless whatever you do on that playthrough. The type of Doll which you can get in a Fable II story is random per playthrough. You can only get one type of Doll in a Fable II playthrough. The only way to get other Dolls that do count towards that Achievement's progress, is to trade with gamers in Orb mode. For that mode to enable, Press START, select Options, Game, and set Online Orbs to Everyone, or Friends Only (when you intend to trade with a private specific contact only without some other Orbs around), Accept with A. Now that is done, get your Character near a desired Orb of some person you intend to trade with. If you wish to give an item (like a Doll you have won from your Fable II universe) to that person, hit LT while looking at the Orb. Then, apply to interact with it, with A. Select Gift. Then, select Gifts (x) in the next menu. From there, you choose one of the following Dolls you wish to give away, if you have hold of any: Hammer Doll, Garth Doll, Theresa Doll, Hero Doll, Lucien Doll, Reaver Doll. Lastly, apply with Yes by pressing A. Your game status will now be saved. But the game status of the person on the other side must be saved manually. The other Dolls you can collect in Fable II are: Ragdoll, Porcelain Doll. Those are irrelevant for that Achievement. Now as you meet people in Orb form, listen to what they say. Some people will offer, or ask for, an item, or even a Doll. Additionally you can always interact with an Orb to find out about a person's Achievements. When a gamer already has been awarded with the The Dollcatcher Achievement, this can mean several things: The gamer has hold of all the Dolls, the gamer has not a single Doll, the gamer has not all different relevant Dolls anymore, the gamer has no Doll at all anymore, the gamer has a lot of Dolls - also some to give away. What is suggested is to explain in detail how you wish to trade. It makes the best sense to give away Dolls you can always claim from the Shooting Range in Westcliff by gaining the Second Prize. The The Dollcatcher Achievement will be unlocked when the sixth different relevant Doll is added to your Items. If a gamer is in your story via cooperative play, that gamer will get that Achievement when this is initiated.

2nd solution: While travelling through the world of Fable II, may luck be on your side, and you do encounter a generous person who helps you to get that Achievement rather easily. It means, that gamer has still hold of all six different relevant Dolls. Who will then - in whose Fable II Story - merge into cooperative play with you, and causes an inventory change to initiate the unlock process for this Achievement on your Xbox LIVE profile. If you have attained this Achievement that way, if you choose, think further and organize a tribute to aid others if possible: Try to trade Dolls you can get from the Shooting Range in Westcliff by winning the Second Prize, against Dolls the other person receives that way, if it is not the same kind of Doll. Like that, you have done the best you could to help bringing different Dolls to the people! Of course, you may help others out, and keep that kind of trading up! That way, you will perhaps even gather all six different Dolls for your own inventory. That will feel fine! And if you managed in succeeding on that, you are always welcome to enter the opportunistic masterplan registry, which is found at the bottom of this Achievement Solution.

3rd solution:
a - demanded (prime): As I am as generous and polite as a person can be, you shall contact me. I am willing to trade items to get your Dolls collection complete, plus I can add your contact onto a list of people with the ability to assist another in the future. (1) You will need me or the person who applied to assist you to know, which one of the relevant Dolls it is, you can always claim as your Second Prize in the Shooting Range in Westcliff - at least one specimen of those shall be gifted to the assistant. (2) The person who assists you, needs to acknowledge which ones of the relevant Dolls you have hold onto, and about their quantity in your current possession. It is not guaranteed that the assistant currently has hold onto the Doll(s) you require in order to complete your Dolls collection. (3) When you choose this way, you are strongly encouraged to enter the opportunistic masterplan registry - therefore, you shall make your clear statement to the assistant upon your assistance request. (3-Positive) If the assistant is not me, then either you or the assistant needs to inform me about it along with revealing your Gamertag's name to me, and I will be able to update this Achievement Solution appropriately.
b - last resort (simple): Alternatively, In the assistant's Fable II story, the assistant can cause an inventory change to initiate the unlock process for this Achievement, and possibly certain other locked Achievements which would be unlocked on your Xbox LIVE profile simultaneously and inevitably for you during cooperative play (and your friends/contacts) - the most easy way. Especially when you are helped by this way, you shall consider gifting relevant Dolls to the person who is assisting you - it helps to rise the social capabilities to assist the other coming in the future seeking for relative assistance, while especially making it easier because then more people can assist to get the corresponding Achievement unlocked for another - and also to divide the effort between each assistant who is registered in this Achievement Solution. In the case you do not possess any of the relevant Dolls, you should be encouraged to claim the one you can always get by winning the Second Prize in the Shooting Range in Westcliff. (4) Upon requesting assistance, let the assistant know about the relevant Dolls you can gift.

Save your earnings towards Save Game data file: Save your Game progress once you have retrieved a gift from someone else, before you abandon the software runtime. You may also negate the negativity of a game progress lost, due to a surprising system crash that can occur - software or hardware based whatsoever - when saving Game progress soon enough.

Additional information: The First Prize in the Shooting Range in Westcliff, the The Red Dragon (a fairly great Legendary Ranged Weapon), can only be claimed for once per playthrough - at least under normal circumstances of how the software is supposed to run. That means for you, that once you have gained that Legendary Weapon, you are aiming for less than 175 points of Score, but at least 150 points of Score, in order to get the Second Prize there. Keep track of your scoring during the First and Second Rounds, then make sure not to reach more than 174 points of Score. As for the other Prizes: Their rewards are commonly unimportant items, you can get a lot from here and there - you really do not have to aim for those scoring requirements at all. However, if you are finally, you may still just go for everything you can.

Controls (rather secret): In cooperative play, indeed you can change the camera. This is done by pressing LB - where your Character is looking at, it will change to that direction (camera centering character relative view). You can indeed exit Y-aiming by simply pressing LT.

About my personal assistance for Fable II gamers: If there is something I can help you with, you shall contact me. Whenever I assist someone, I am always delivering full assistance and carefulness in both terms of the person's wishes and any of that person's locked Achievements I am able to assist the other with in Fable II. Though it can happen and I would not act or respond right away, since a lot of people seek assistance in Fable II. Sometimes unfortunately I lose my track amongst all the people that require assistance in Fable II, but whenever that happens, I am giving my best to trace back about every possible person who is still in need. Negate possibility from such a happening in a worse case scenario, by first gathering information found in this Achievement Solution, and then by taking care about necessarily steps. You can also contact another relatively possible assistant instead of me. Make your engagement most stress free as possible, by providing vital information upon your assistance request - read through as much of this Achievement Solution of mine as needed in order to gain knowledge about, what is significant for you to know about, and for the assistant to come to know about. I personally would like to find out how far I would be able to further assist you with your Fable II success - thus (5-Positive) I require to come to know about, whether you have additional Fable II content licenses actively running on the Xbox 360 you will be using during gaming session, when you will be assisted by me. Also, please (5) make your general clear statement about how far - or if at all - I shall further assist you. Please do not hesitate to demand the further assistance I like to provide - the effort of the majority of necessary activities required for me, is generally extremely low. Only refuse my offer for (partial) additional assistance, if you desperately which to (continue to) work on some eligible Achievement's progresses on your own.

Additional Game content data accessibility possibly required: Once the assistant is using Fable II Save Game data which includes access relativity to additional Fable II content, the person who is being intended to be assisted, requires to have the corresponding additional Game content(s) also usable in order to meet together in the assistant's Fable II Story - at least the license free version(s) may be of a necessity. Those are only needed once you engage in cooperative play, thus not required when trading items through Orb interaction, but a possible must when you are using Solution 3b and also if the assistant would further assist you to unlock other Fable II Achievements. Please be sure rather to claim the data possibly needed, than asking the assistant about what is definitely needed - minimizing the stress, is reason here.

Contacting an assistant: Please give full information to the assisting person, so that this person is informed about everything that is required to know to provide an instant and stress free assistance - read through the Solution you have decided to use, and provide information to the assistant you will submit your assistance request to - (!) make clear statements and provide perfectly detailed information to the assistant by answering to all effectively relevant steps upon your assistance request: (1), (2), (3), (3-Positive), (4), (5), (5-Positive). Be aware of the fact, that messaging over Xbox LIVE also bears the negativity of disappearing messages due to several standards which are pretty bad, but can be better to form instant contacts since the gamer may be accessed while running a Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. It is wise to send the details the assistant requires to acknowledge, to the assistant by using this prime platform's messaging system, since the information will persist long enough and can be re-investigated by the assistant, rather than leaving you unassisted when your contact would fade. If a Friends link can be made between you and the assistant, then your contact will persist on the assistant's profile - the assistant can then easily check for any Achievements whose friends on this prime platform have claimed, or have not claimed (is displayed only sometimes) - a list is specifically indicated to the right of this Achievement Solution for an example, which provides relative social status information most easily accessed when needed to be acknowledged. The Xbox LIVE Friends List has a limitation of 100 entries. If necessarily, please choose another way to even expand your social needs of gamer contacts - consider this prime platform to suit your needs. If you had to register yourself on it, now is the good time - you can declare a referrer whom you find to be most appropriate.

Opportunistic masterplan registry: People with the ability to assist another, concerning the The Dollcatcher Achievement, by serving with Solution 3b, can be mentioned here. The relevant Dolls they can always earn, plus information whether who has a Chicken Outfit, stand next their Gamertags:

1. CyberneticHFX Reaver Doll/Chicken Outfit
2. MVPxELIT3 v2
3. Tetraconigo
4. The Grond
5. m8nocle Lucien Doll
6. EmDeeGee Theresa Doll/Chicken Outfit
7. deathdude5 Theresa Doll/Chicken Outfit
8. Warrior4204 Hammer Doll/Chicken Outfit

i lost my dolls so if you have rever or garth please help someone stole them

Send me a message on XBL or here and i will invite you into my game so you have the achievement!

please be sure to have at least have all free updates. if you have bought the dlc then you are fine.

you can also just scream I NEED DOLLS in bowerstone market and people with throw them at you essentially

in order to get your own you need to get second place in the westcliff shooting range. The game will only give you 1 type of doll.

The "hero doll" comes from the good choice in the puppet stories:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/splash/f/fable2/
log in to the site with your gamertag and Live/MSN password

UPDATE: you can also dig up the dolls in the DLC See the Future! I think 1 is in the snow globe in the shadow court entrance and 1 us in the skull next to your hero statues that attack.(not totally sure)

There are 5 (Garth, Reaver, Hammer, Lucien and Theresa) but you can only unlock one in your game, so swapping them with friends is a necessity.

You'll get your hero doll from the Shooting Gallery in Westcliffe which is the second prize; between 150 and 175 points.
You can also get it from the online game or trading with friends.

With the new DLC you can dig up the dolls and avoid people ripping you off and stealing them off you.

If you have the whole set of dolls in your collection, you can give this achievement to another player without giving away your dolls by doing the following:

1) invite them to your game (player does not even have to be on your friends list, as long as they can accept game invites)
2) purchase a gift at an item shop (the type of gift may not matter, but it does work if you buy a doll or ring)

That's it. Achievement unlocked for the guest player.

There are 3 ways to get this.
1. Join with a friend who has all the dolls, then have them acquire or remove an item from their inventory. This will trip the achievement.

2. Have your friends/random strangers send you the dolls you don't have. You can win a doll at the Westcliff shooting range.

3. See the Future DLC has dolls hidden in The Snowglobe and The Celestial Keep. Your dog will show you where to dig.

Basically, there are 6 Hero Dolls in total to collect: -

1) Hero Doll (Union Jack flag underpants)
2) Hammer Doll
3) Lucien Doll
4) Reaver Doll
5) Theresa Doll
6) Garth Doll




UPDATE #1 It seems that http://www.fable2.com is no longer available (to obtain the Hero Doll).

UPDATE #2 If you know a friend that has all 6 dolls in their game, ask them to invite you and tell them to buy anything at a local stall. Hopefully, you should gain the Achievement. Depending on the host, you need to download both of the DLC's to join their game. Otherwise, it won't let you join their game.

However, there are gamers out there that are willing to help you on the Forums.

Before you give me a negative vote, please explain yourself why you did it and I will be more than happy to improve my solution. Thank You.

You can get the dolls by yourself!*


*This method works for 5 of the 6 hero dolls (Hammer, Reaver, Garth, Lucien, and Theresa). The Hero doll unfortunately requires you to unlock it by playing the Fable2.com's minigame, which even more unfortunately has been taken down permanently. However, once unlocked they can be easily bought from gift vendors in the game, so finding someone willing to trade/just give you one shouldn't be nearly as difficult as tracking the other dolls down.

This is PERFECT for those who, like me, do not like hunting people down to trade, and especially since the game is now several years old and not many people check the listings for Dollcatcher anymore.

**Note** I found the solution described here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31... So all credit goes to Metroido there. It's also listed in the bugs section on the Fable wiki (http://fable.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Fable_II_Dolls) but does not seem to be well known; so, the good news needs to be shared!

You need: 2 controllers, and a save file at Westcliff or later.

1. With controller 1, create a new gamertag, then start a New Game of Fable II.

2. During the opening cutscene, use controller 2 to sign into your main gamertag.

3. When Rose finishes talking and you gain control over your character, use controller 1 to exit to Fable II's main menu.

4. Use controller 2 to Continue, and select the save file at Westcliff. Go to the shooting range and score 150-174 points as usual. You should be awarded a new doll!

The game links each gamertag with a particular doll that you can win at Westcliff, so under normal circumstances you'd win the same doll every single time at the shooting range in your game. You can also find two other dolls in the See the Future DLC by using your dog to dig up spots in the Snowglobe Village and the Celestial Keep. Without tricking the game by using the method outlined here, these would be the only three dolls available to any one file.

The downsides to this are 1) Not being able to get the Hero doll on your own, and 2) It can be time consuming setting up new gamertags, playing at the shooting gallery, and seeing the doll you get. Further, you might very well get the same doll(s) over and over before getting the one(s) you want; this does NOT mean that the procedure isn't working, it just means the gamertags you've tried just happen to be linked to the same dolls. Keep trying!

If you can find someone with all the dolls, have them invite you to a game. They then need to go to vendor and sell one of their dolls and buy it back. Once they buy it back, you will have the achievement also.

Firstly, there are 6 dolls: Garth, Reaver, Hammer, Lucien, Theresa and Hero.
A hero can only obtain a maximum of 4 from their own world, one always being the Hero doll.
Here are the four ways you can obtain them...
1) Hero dolls are randomly available at gift merchants, just keep checking them all and you should eventually see it.
2) Either Garth, Reaver, Hammer, Lucien or Theresa can be obtained by getting 2nd prize in the westcliff shooting range. Multiple copies can be got but it will always be the same one; you can only get one doll per hero.
3) If you have the See the Future DLC you can dig one of the dolls up in the snowglobe. Your dog needs to be a lvl5 treasure hunter, the dig spot is by the tree to the left of the door to the shadow court (red seal door).
4) Again if you have the See the Future DLC you can dig one of the dolls up in the cursed skull. Your dog needs to be a lvl5 treasure hunter, the dig spot is in an enclosed area about midway to the right in the place where the hero statues attack you.

You can of course get them by trading with others online, or some people will invite you into their world and sell one to the merchant and then rebuy it popping the achievement for you.

Hope this helps!

By far the quickest and easiest way to get this achievement is by finding someone who already has all the dolls. All you need to do is join their game, then have them sell an inventory item and then buy it straight back. By doing this they will unlock the achievement for you, meaning thay you do not need to trade dolls or even have any dolls yourself.
This makes the achievement very easy, but the hard part is to find someone with all of the dolls. Sessions for this achievement can go up quite often, where people will help you get this achievement.

Also, downvoters please give a reason for your action.

See this video for how to get someone with the dolls to unlock the achievement for you. It's in the second part of the video.

THERE ARE 6 DOLLS (GARTH, REAVER, HAMMER, LUCIEN, THERESA N THE HERO DOLL). THE WAY YOU CAN OBTAIN ALL 6 DOLLS IS BY TRADING WITH PEPLE OVER XBOX LIVE.

I AM WILLING TO HELP ANYONE GET THIS AHIEVEMENT SINCE I HAVE MULTIPLE COPY OF EVERY DOLL. { ONLY CONTACT ME ON MONDAYS N FRIDAYS FROM 4PM - 7 PM. IF YOU CONTACT MEH AT ANY OTHER TIME I WONT HELP YOU WITH THIS ACHIEVEMENT }

After playing with a friend in this game for a while, I accidentally discovered a duplication glitch! This is very helpful for trading hero dolls, weapons (such as legendaries) and clothes (such as the chicken suit) across to players without the worry of being robbed by others, as well as cloning items for yourself. This can be very beneficial for many players as some of the achievements in this game have been discontinued due to items that could only be unlocked by playing on the fable2 website, which has been closed down permanently. The only thing you cannot duplicate is money.


What do I need to do this?
What you need to do is get a friend on Xbox Live to help you out. You need to turn your orbs on in the options / game menu to be able to see each other.

Step 1: "Preparation"
You both need to go to Westcliff (The Westcliff Camp) and go to the entrance of the Crucible, but don't go inside it.
Once both of you are there, you both need to Save and continue. After doing so, both of you go inside the crucible (the game does an auto save when you do). Now that you are both inside, DON'T go any further because now comes the duplicating.

Step 2: "The duplicating"
What you need to do is have Person A interact with Player B's orb and gift B all of the items you wish to duplicate (this takes a while with the loading times). Once done, Player A needs to face the entrance door and "Reload" by holding A button. This will load Player A back outside the Crucible. Player B needs to stay inside and remain still.

When player A loads back outside, go down the stairs and enter your pause menu and check your inventory. The items that you gave to Player B haven't been removed from your inventory!!
Now if you need to duplicate even more. Go back inside the crucible and give player B more items, and then exit again, rinse and repeat until you are satisfied. When finished, Player A will not come back in the crucible.

Step 3: "Keeping the duplicated items"
Now here is the catch. Player B has to finish the crucible and fight through every wave and monster. Player B must NOT get 8 perfect rounds!! If B does, the items B received from Player A will vanish. Make sure you have at least 1 slow round (or more just to be safe). Once Player B defeats the troll and goes to the path that leads to the portal, B will warp back outside the front of the crucible with every item given by Player A.

Congratulations!! You have officially broken the game! Lol.
This glitch will never be patched as Lionhead Studios stopped supporting this game years ago, so go wild and spread the love.

But this doesn't come without its dangers. Player A may encounter an uncommon game freeze when reloading back outside the crucible. When this happens, load the game back up and you should be back inside. The reason it can crash is because of loading failure. Just exit the crucible entrance again and you will be fine.

If anyone needs help with the doll catcher or fowl achievement hit me up on TA or Xbox messenger.
