Fable II: Reversals (Counter Attacks)

[MohawkMan1212]

good way to go evil

[oneleg5]

i love reverasals ive known how to do them but i could never do it so wen it happened its usually an accident but i went on a rampage in oakfield and i got a lot of practice with it i got 370% bonus XP

[BulletMagnetOWI]

If you pull back on the stick instead he grabs the enemy, turns around and kicks him in that direction, though you often can't get an instant kill on that reversal. Another one is where your character flips over the enemy's sword arm and lands behind him. I may have just discovered a fourth (to my astonishment). He reveres the enemy and also reversed himself. He then seems to stab him with a backhand strike under his own shoulder while facing the other way. Epic, but I doubt I'll replicate it.

[EternalMoonsetsu]

How do you do reversals and and other techniques.

What buttons am I suppose to push?

I have just been pushing X and slashing. Is there something I am suppose to look for to tell me when to strike? =?

[Anonymous7165]

In soviet russia, attack counters YOU!

[tagataese]

@Anonymous7165 priceless

[madcat789]

How do you perform a counter attack? Second,do you have Xbox Live?

[killerbee458]

@madcat789 look at the steps below

[killerbee458]

you can do reversals on highwaymen but it's difficult

[sh115067]

It tells you how lol. When you buy it

[Painkiller1157]

Can this work with any weapon? It doesn't seem to work with a hammer.

[MrMudcrabz]

Hpw are you so good at that I got BrutalStyles rank4 and its hard to do that. I always end up hitting them a bit too early

[GiantDwharf]

i kept on doing counters attacks but i didnt know how i did it the first one i did was the were you roll over the guy

[yundadoom]

Can you do this with any weapon?

[MrMudcrabz]

yeah a sword you stab them in the back with an axe you charge them and decapitate

[cody4257]

why?

lol cause nothing worth buying in these places so shope owners hate but who cares u dont buy from em lol

ima make another comment on my secret to millions on falbe 2

[smileWertom12]

It is the most idiotic ideo to attack Bowerstone, first: the economy is bad and you don't earn much money, second: The shop owners don't have much stuff

[badtofuu]

You're right. It is a bad idea to attack Bowerstone. But it is the best place to practice counter. You have a big wide open area with very few obstructions, and you have and endless supply of targets.

If you don't want to mess up Bowerstone, but want to practice counters, just go on your murder spree and don't save.

[smileWertom12]

I am attacking Bowerstone cemetery for counter attacks

[hocculto]

Justo antes de que el enemigo te impacte con su arma, presiona A y mueve el stick hacia el enemigo y harás que se voltee. Presiona de nuevo A y lo rematarás. Una vez logré hacer una pirueta estilo lucha libre, pero ya no lo pude hacer de nuevo. Si alguien sabe que me diga.

[theworlddiesin6]

can i block then do this out of the block like a flourish or do i have to be exposed

[masterreaper9]

to do it u..... well u guys kow what u walk with the stikc thing XD anyways if u get lvl 4 brutal style when u are fighting tap x and the walking thing toward the enemy and then u will like turn him around and thne u press x and then boom counter

[aapiesnuf]

Can u do it with any melee weapon type? :P Thanks.

[Phez701]

can u do it to other things like say Balverines

[Phez701]

jesu could they make this any fucking harder

[Phez701]

how how did he do that. :0''''''''

[Jethos]

Yeah, I only managed to do it once.

Bandits were attacking the Gypsy Camp. The last once I did a reversal and then just stuck him through the chest. So badass.

[McMIxTER]

how do i do it!?!

[Deathbringer73]

Physical Appearance doesn't change from what you've done Until you go to another screen via loading screen most likely, so as to avoid potential problems.

[dreadnaught114141]

How is it that you're killing villagers and guards, yet you still have a halo?

[xarxon438]

when I do counters I spin my enemy around and kick him and finish him infront much cooler

[por316]

what pants are those?

[IIDanekII]

i think the will users pants i buyd mine in the bowerstone garden frome one of the traders

[roxasspritesplease]

how do you get the nut shot and head shot things?

[AjTheCritic]

Dextrerous Styles, Sub-Targeting, level 3 I think.

Once you have it, Zoom in and hold left trigger, the reticules for your weapon should look like an asterisk( this *). Now move your TS left or right.

[renzorhymes25]

sub targetting is lvl 4, thats when you can headshot or shoot other limbs, just target by holding Y, while in targetting, hold the left trigger and move your left thumbstick to shoot which part of the body you want

[Realmasterorder]

Ok u show it but did not say exactly how to do them and explain it :(

[palitin2]

idk what button to press or even how to do it

[Altair550]

Sry not right left its depends on wat angle ur fighting on.

[Altair550]

there is 2 more counters. One lethal one nonlethal. If u click the back and counter at the same time he spins him around and kicks them. The next one if u click the back and the right as soon as u hear the sound from the counter and ur guy will flip over the other person's blade and u can finish him.

[palitin2]

what do u mean click back?

[bustercharl777]

ive just got fable 2 can someone tell me how to do counters and reversels

[nesquikrabb1t]

it works on guards and bandits and hobbes ,spire guards, hollowmen . i like doing the counter attacks i think there are some more things like this were he leaps in the air and blocks from behind i once did by a fluke i wish i knew the combos . your good at doing the counter attacks i didnt know you could shoot them in the balls heheh ^^ 5*

[Archristol]

Thanks! And about that one other reversal, yup! I have it in the video response to this one. It's really cool but I think it's just totally random. xD

[copypacercopypacer]

@Archristol r u a girl or a guy? sorry if it offends u ^_^

[Archristol]

Girl! D:<

[drbaja]

@Archristol well yor hero is a man... you tranny

[darkesthour117]

@nesquikrabb1t oh its good fun to shoot them in the nuts in an add on i think the achievement the nutcracker is added guess what itss for =]

[CognizantCheddar]

@nesquikrabb1t

Assassins can also be countered, but it's very difficult with the game's natural input lag, and you can't instant-kill them afterwards.

If it's a parry of their lunge attack, then they'll just leap back afterwards. If you parry one of their close-in combo attacks, then you'll parry him, grab his shoulder and and spin yourself around behind him, but you can't impale him afterwards, you just get free hits on his back.

[Craigersmac]

can you only do this move to guards cause ive tried it on highwaymen and hollowmen and it doesnt work, but it works on guards

[Archristol]

It doesn't work on highwaymen because they back up as soon as you clash your sword with their's. And I don't know about hollowmen, I haven't tried it yet. I've tried it on hobbes and it works on them. Not sure about balverines, they're like highwaymen so I would think no.

[Archristol]

Oh yea, and it works on bandits and spire guards. Not on the commandants though.

[killerbee458]

@Archristol what i just saw on the video it was pretty good but i can see that you really don't know when to strike a reversal.

opponents stragedy : okay first of all bandit/spireguards/cityguards fight the same.

step 1: hold the blocking button if you don't want to get hurt

step 2: wait until the opponent strikes with a mid slow swing. (kinda hard to tell so look carefully)

step 3: strike when they do the mid slow swing.

step 4: go for the kill

[killerbee458]

@Archristol no offense or anything but you sure took a lot of damage. what's your gamer tag

[killerbee458]

@Archristol yes it does work on highwaymen

step 1: the highway men does a twirl on their sword.

step 2: then they will strike. it's either you take the hit or dodge NO BLOCKING OR ELSE IT WON"T WORK!!!

step 3: then he will do a second attack and you'll have to reverse that.

step 4: once you reversed that he will back off.

step 5: most people might not know this but he will do a third strike which is he'll jump at you and swing his sword and then go for the reverse.

step 6: GO FOR THE KILL!!!!!!

[killerbee458]

@Archristol For hollowmen just do the reversal and they just die right away you don't have to stab their back they just die right away.

[malebojia]
