Choose your edition
The original (2004), The Lost Chapters (2005) and Anniversary (2014) share a main campaign. TLC continues beyond Jack’s first defeat; Anniversary includes that extension with revised presentation and controls. English location names are retained for consistent navigation.
Full spoilers follow. The checklist tracks guide objectives, not an official completion percentage. An asterisk marks TLC/Anniversary content. Mutually exclusive good/evil branches require separate saves or runs.
Combat, abilities and preparation
- Carry a melee weapon, a bow and a ranged spell. Combine blocking, rolling and flourishes; avoid being surrounded.
- Strength supports melee and survival, Skill supports ranged attacks and speed, and Will unlocks spells. Specialisation works, but some boss phases still require ranged damage.
- Heal Life also restores nearby followers. Physical Shield can preserve your combat multiplier at a mana cost. Slow Time creates openings against fast enemies and bosses.
- Use Ages experience potions with a high combat multiplier. Restock health/will potions and resurrection phials before long quests; only nine phials can be carried.
- Fishing and digging require a rod and spade. Check water ripples, flower/mushroom circles and conspicuous graves.
Story 1: Oakvale to Orchard Farm
Story details & possible consequences
Birthday Gift / Guild Training
Earn money for Theresa’s present in Oakvale, then finish Guild training. Practise melee, bow and lightning. After graduation, use your lamp at the Guild demon door.
Wasp Menace / Maze’s Information
At the Picnic Area, clear small wasps before attacking the queen; deal with reinforcements. Meet Maze in Bowerstone and check the Guild quest table.
Protect or Attack Orchard Farm
These are alternative contracts. Protection means intercepting bandits before the farmhouse; attack means helping their theft. Defeat Whisper afterwards. Choose protection for a good-aligned run.
Before Darkwood
Complete Hobbe Killing Contest and explore the farm before advancing far. Obtain a spade/rod, gather early keys and avoid committing to difficult no-damage boasts.
Story 2: Escort through Darkwood
Story details & possible consequences
Trader Escort crosses Darkwood to Barrow Fields. Make followers wait before danger, clear the area and bring them forward. They recover at Darkwood Camp; Heal Life helps on the road.
The additional wounded trader is infected: accepting him leads to a later Balverine transformation, while rejecting him is an evil choice. Use ranged attacks against the earth troll. Reach the Barrow Fields bridge to finish.
Story 3: The Bandit Seeress and Twinblade
Story details & possible consequences
Clifftop Path → Abandoned Road
Avoid the guards raising the gate alarm: sneak past or eliminate them from range. Collect all five bandit outfit pieces from Abandoned Road chests and wear them at the gate.
Twinblade’s Camp
Buy the camp pass or win it in the minigame. In the elite camp, free prisoners to create a distraction; obtain their cage key from the nearby guard.
Twinblade
Re-equip combat armour. Dodge until both blades lodge in the ground, then attack his back. Theresa is revealed as the seeress. Sparing or killing Twinblade changes alignment; either choice advances the story.
Story 4: Witchwood and White Balverine
Story details & possible consequences
For Find the Archaeologist, strike the Witchwood stones H–I–T–S. Speak to the archaeologist behind the door; mark the opposite fishing spot and the cavern chest for later.
Defend Knothole Glade against Balverines. Drive the White Balverine away during early attacks, then visit the former hunter’s wife for a Silver Augmentation. Add it to a weapon with a free slot, or use an existing silver-augmented weapon. The final hunt moves to Witchwood Lake.
Story 5: Arena and Whisper
Story details & possible consequences
Before entering the rounds, inspect the merchant’s Bright Plate set, needed for Abandoned Road. Restock potions. The Arena progresses through small enemies, Hobbes, Balverines, undead, bandits, trolls and Arachanox.
Keep moving sideways against thrown rocks. Against Arachanox, exploit openings and clear summoned enemies. Finally defeat Whisper: spare her to keep her alive or kill her for the evil outcome. Your boast must match your decision. Continue with Theresa’s story afterwards.
Story 6: Archaeologist, Nostro and Bargate
Story details & possible consequences
Rescue the Archaeologist
Push through pursuers and Minions promptly; do not delay the timed finale for loot. The story then opens Lychfield Graveyard.
The Graveyard Path
Recover Nostro’s helmet, sword, shield and armour: search the keeper’s house, graves, fishing spot and crypt. Return them to his skeleton. At the Circle of the Dead, damage undead after they enter the circle.
Rescue Scarlet Robe / Prison Escape
Fight through tunnels and Cliffside Path to your mother. After capture, use the race and warden’s-room sequence to steal a key and recover equipment. Free her and secure the return route; strike the Kraken’s tentacles, then shoot its exposed head.
Story 7: Hook Coast and first Jack fight
Story details & possible consequences
Before Return to Hook Coast, review side quests, equipment and collections. The Guild warning signals a long combat sequence, not the universal permanent removal of every optional activity. Defeat Maze in Hook Coast, then pursue Jack between focus sites.
In the Chamber of Fate, clear Minions first. Use flourishes or safe openings while Jack is grounded; switch to bow/ranged magic during his floating phase and use cover. Afterwards destroy the Sword of Aeons and spare Theresa, or kill her and keep it. Keep a separate save for the other choice.
TLC/Anniversary: Fire Heart to dragon finale
Story details & possible consequences
Prophets of the Fire Heart
After Jack’s first defeat, enter the Lookout Point door. Make every symbol on each 4×4 board match: suns save a prophet, moons kill one. Watch the timer.
Ship of the Drowned
Protect the Fire Heart while activating it at Hook Coast. Sail to the Northern Wastes; mark Lost Bay’s key and 30-key chest.
Oracle of Snowspire
Travel from Snowspire to Necropolis and unearth four glyphs. Their graves vary between games: inspect green markers and dug ground instead of relying on invented fixed coordinates. Overcome the ice troll and final ambush.
The Souls of Heroes
Feed three souls to Archon’s Shrine. Good alternatives: Arena soul, your mother’s spirit in Oakvale, and Nostro. Evil alternatives: kill Thunder, Briar Rose and the Guildmaster. Each pair is a separate decision.
The Final Battle
Beyond the Bronze Gate, fight Jack’s dragon form. Avoid fire, clear Minions/Summoners and attack during landings; Slow Time and potions help. Destroy or wear the mask afterwards: wearing it allows Jack to possess you, rather than giving a harmless cosmetic reward.
Named side quests and branches
Revisit the Guild table after major story milestones. This covers major quest chains, not every incidental NPC conversation.
| Quest | Start / objective |
|---|---|
| Hobbe Killing Contest | Orchard Farm; defeat more Hobbes than Whisper. Do it before the Arena. |
| Hobbe Cave | Rose Cottage; obtain the key, rescue James in the Focus Chamber and escort him back. Kill the nymph or sacrifice the bandit. |
| Lost Trader | Abandoned Road; find the missing brother and return him alive. Awards a treasure clue. |
| Break the Siege | Knothole Glade; resolve the bandit siege, then pursue the assassin encounters. |
| Bounty Hunt | Rescue hostages; use a precise ranged attack on the hostage-taker instead of endangering the hostage in melee. |
| Execution Tree / Rescue | Escort the guards or rescue the prisoner: alternative contracts, not simultaneous requirements. |
| Bandit Spy Extraction | Extract the intended spy from the trader group and deal with the guards. |
| Trader Rescue / Massacre* | Rescue: free three traders at Twinblade’s Camp. Massacre: attack traders/guards at Barrow Fields. Both contracts can be completed in one game. |
| The Sick Child* | Bowerstone South; obtain the witch’s four blue mushrooms through their separate tasks. |
| Book Collection* | Donate 25 suitable books to Bowerstone school and collect the silver key. |
| Darkwood Disturbance* | Help Briar Rose at Darkwood Lake and defend the ritual. |
| The Ransom Victim* | Knothole Glade contract: rescue the hostage and choose the return destination shown in the journal. |
Marriage, Lady Grey and bordello
Story details & possible consequences
Court available adult villagers with positive expressions, attraction and suitable gifts. Raise affection, offer a wedding ring and own an available marital home. Maintain the relationship; not every NPC is eligible. There is no universal Triss/Yennefer-style main romance route here.
Lady Grey is the special quest marriage in Bowerstone North. Her invitation involves a gift, owning a house, a necklace and a duel with Thunder. TLC/Anniversary adds Investigating the Mayor: exposing her chooses a different outcome and prevents marriage. For the keys, complete the duel and Headsman’s Hill fishing spot first; Grey House specifically requires marriage to her.
Darkwood Bordello is TLC/Anniversary content. Its services are optional; ten encounters satisfy the nearby demon door. Complete that objective before a good-aligned closure/conversion if desired. This guide covers requirements without explicit scenes.
All 30 silver keys: individual route
Carry a rod and spade. The original lacks the five starred additions. Opening chests does not consume silver keys.

| 29 | Lost Bay* | Grave beside ruined house. |
| 30 | Necropolis* | Fish river by broken bridge. |
All 15 demon doors
Leave Necropolis until last. Surrendered keys are permanently lost; the door does not specifically require 30.

| Necropolis* | Surrender all carried silver keys. | Bereaver |
All 12 silver chests
| Area | Keys | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Heroes’ Guild | 20 | Murren Greathammer |
| Greatwood Lake | 5 | Elixir of Life |
| Hobbe Cave | 5 | Will Master’s Elixir |

Legendary equipment and armour
Other weapons are already listed under doors/chests: Cutlass Bluetane, Wellow’s Pickhammer, Dollmaster’s Mace, Ronok, Murren Greathammer/Greataxe, Katana Hiryu, Arken’s Crossbow, plus Avenger and Bereaver*. These are fixed objectives; shop prices depend on trading and edition.
Archon’s Battle Armour comes from Necropolis’s 25-key chest*. Retain Bright Plate for Abandoned Road; avoid selling Will and Bandit outfits too early. Unlike The Witcher, this game has no general armour-diagram/potion-recipe catalogue.
| Item | Acquisition |
|---|---|
| Solus Greatsword | Buy in Bowerstone North; Lady Grey gift is another route. |
| Harbinger | Stone at Temple of Avo; sufficiently improve Strength stats. |
| Sentinus | Large Temple of Avo donation; threshold varies with alignment. |
| Skorm’s Bow | Worthy sacrifice at Chapel of Skorm, Darkwood. |
| Sword of Aeons | Kill Theresa after the first Jack finale. |
| Avo’s Tear* | Destroy Aeons; complete Hidden Sword at the Guild. |
| Orkon’s Club* | Ordinary chest at Archon’s Shrine. |
| Frying Pan | Collect six treasure clues, then dig at Orchard Farm. |
Six treasure clues and other secrets
- Hidden Booty Hunt: obtain clues from Bounty Hunt, Lost Trader, five Assassin Attacks, Knothole Glade archery, and chests at Orchard Farm and Windmill Hill. Dig up the pan at Orchard Farm only with all six; collecting it early produces the worthless variant.
- After Break the Siege, trigger assassins at Knothole Glade, Witchwood Cullis Gate, Prison Path, Windmill Hill and Hook Coast.
- Hero Dolls: the new nine-doll catalogue contains every identity, minigame threshold and teacher turn-in. Style/tattoo cards still do not have a complete location atlas.
- Visit Fist Fighters Gang at night in Bowerstone Quay, Oakvale, Twinblade’s Elite Camp and Knothole Glade. These unarmed contests require a different approach from normal weapon combat.
Choices, endings and missables
Story details & possible consequences
- Original: open the Guild demon door before accepting Try to Stop Jack. TLC/Anniversary’s Northern Wastes form a separate continuation after the first finale.
- Lady Grey: progress her invitation through the Thunder duel and fish the Headsman key before choosing exposure. Marriage opens Grey House; exposure is the alternative outcome.
- Open all silver chests before the Necropolis door. Lost Bay’s 30-key chest is easy to miss if you surrender your keys first.
- Alignment changes appearance and reactions but does not replace individual quest choices. Whisper, Twinblade, Theresa, the three hero souls and Jack’s mask are separate decisions.
- Use an earlier save to explore another outcome. Anniversary’s save system does not support the old Hero Save silver-key duplication.
All named silver quests: routes and branches
This complements the main route. Opposing contracts require alternative playthroughs; they are not simultaneous obligations. Rewards exclude optional boast wagers.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hobbe Killing Contest | Orchard Farm | Beat Whisper within the timer; finish wounded hobbes and target mages first. | 900 gold; 200 renown. |

All named bronze quests and activities
TLC/Anniversary additions are marked; the 2004 original lacks some locations. Unplayable cards such as Snow Troll Attack are not counted as completable quests.
| Quest | Start / route | Steps and outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Fishing Lessons | Fisher Creek | Defeat wasps at the fisherman’s cottage; receive the rod and target water ripples. |
| Fishing Competition [TLC/Anniversary] | Fisher Creek | Return later with a large fish; Hook Coast is a useful late fishing spot. Claim the key, Champion Rod and fisherman’s hat. |
| The Sick Child [TLC/Anniversary] | Bowerstone South / Quay | Bring the four blue mushrooms from the atlas below to the quay witch; deliver the cure to the mother. |
| Beardy Baldy | Bowerstone Quay | Fulfil his three style requests at the barber and return each time. His promised daughter is fictional; the style cards and Fire Monkey tattoo are real. |
| Book Collection [TLC/Anniversary] | Bowerstone South school | Give Gout 25 different accepted books during school hours. The first nine determine the bright/dark hat; the final reward is a silver key. |
| Bandit Toll | Greatwood Gorge | Pay 400 gold or defeat the bandits; search the camp chests afterwards. |

| Fist Fighters Gang / Fight Club | Bowerstone Quay → Oakvale → Twinblade Elite → Knothole | Win the four nighttime rings in sequence and retain certificates. Block and flourish; re-equip clothing afterwards. |
| Chapel of Skorm | Darkwood Camp → Chapel | Sacrifice followers; value depends on alignment and timing. Try near midnight with good alignment; no single-sacrifice formula is guaranteed. |
| Temple of Avo | Witchwood | Donate gold in stages and inspect rewards; the required amount depends on alignment. Targets are Sentinus, rejuvenation and the Paladin title. |
| The Sword in the Stone | Temple of Avo hillside | Attempt to draw Harbinger, then return after raising Strength attributes. Maximising all three is the reliable method. |
| Archery Competition | Knothole Glade gate | After the Arena, play the shooting contest; prioritise the distant target and practise a rhythm. Win the treasure clue. |
| Ghost Granny Necklace | Orchard Farm → Greatwood Lake | Speak to the ghost behind the farmhouse, defeat the thief at the lake and return the necklace. |
| Murder With a Twist [TLC/Anniversary] | Oakvale → Twinblade’s Tent | Speak to the guard behind Oakvale’s houses; confront his wanted brother in the tent. Take the 1,000 contract or the counteroffer up to 2,500. |
| Assassin Attacks | Fünf Regionen / five regions | After the Guild warning visit Knothole bridge, windmill floor, western Witchwood gate, Prison Path and Hook Coast bell. Defeat all five for a treasure clue. |
| Hidden Booty Hunt | Orchard Farm | Collect all six clues, then manually dig behind the barn by the hay bales. Digging early gives a pan without useful damage. |

17 legendary weapons with edition-specific values
Thirteen weapons originate in Fable; TLC adds four. These are not damage-per-second rankings. Katana listings differ in rounding, 214/215. Bereaver differs by platform; do not automatically apply 314 to Anniversary. Orkon does not count for Anniversary’s Horde Mode. Existing door and chest atlases explain every entrance.

Early iron: Guild/Bowerstone South; steel: Oakvale/Darkwood; obsidian: Oakvale/Twinblade/Knothole; master: Knothole/Bowerstone North/Hook Coast. Each shop stocks only some families. The Stick is an additional training/prison weapon; the Frying Pan is the special treasure-hunt reward.

Every hero doll: minigame targets
TLC/Anniversary require seven turn-in dolls including Scythe; the original omits Scythe. Win a minigame doll, speak to the Bowerstone child, then turn the collection in to the teacher. Beat strict time thresholds rather than relying on a tie.

25 named school books: collection route
This is a full 25-book route for the key, not a claim that Albion contains only 25 books. Search Guild library and household shelves; books can also appear with traders.

All 26 base/TLC outfit variants
Normal/Bright/Dark pieces are separate inventory entries. Adding an arbitrary hat to a helmetless family does not create another official set. Fable I clothing changes actual armour; II/III use a different system.

Six easily missed training and incidental encounters
Complete Guild activities before graduation. This supplements gold/silver/bronze quests; sparrow hunting is optional and reduces morality.

| Demon Door Run | Heroes’ Guild | Apprentice near Maze’s tower: cross both bridges and stepping stones to the demon door, return and speak within fifty seconds. |
| Four Apples | Heroes’ Guild | Bring Sarah in the servants’ quarters four red Cooking Apples; collect around training grounds. Reward: Blueberry Pie. |
