There are 50 gnomes to find in Fable 3 and locating them all earns the Gnome Invasion achievement, as well as the princely sum of 40 Guild Seals. To start the gnome hunt, you must first complete the side quest “Gnomes are Great” in Brightwall Village, then accept the follow-up “Gnomes are Evil” quest. The gnomes themselves aid you in your task, as they verbally abuse you and make a ruckus when you’re nearby, signaling their locations.
Fable 3 Gnomes - Brightwall Village, Reliquary and Dweller Camp
- Brightwall Village - Inside Brian’s House, high up on the wall. Brian is the original quest-giver so you’ll likely get this immediately, though if you somehow get lost his house is beside Brightwall Academy.
- Brightwall Village - Affixed to the chimney of the House of Slats.
- Brightwall Village - Behind the house known as Bumbler’s Gruff, on a boulder.
- Reliquary - You’ll encounter a room with various moving/floating platforms you need to cross. Afterwards there will be some stairs leading down. The gnome is on the right side of the large column that is at the bottom of the stairway.
- Reliquary - Shortly after the previous gnome you’ll dive down into the water. There will be some stairs to ascend, leading to a large room with a skeleton and a note. Before reaching that room, look over the railing to the right to see the gnome perched on the wall.
- Dweller Camp - From the Mistpeak Valley entrance, cross the bridge and take a right up an incline. Watch your left side for a path that leads to a 5 Silver Key chest. Look above the chest on the wall and you’ll spot the gnome.
Fable 3 Gnomes - Mistpeak Valley, The Hole and Chillbreath Caverns
**
Mistpeak Valley** - Near the monorail station there is a path leading up to an overlook. The gnome is in plain sight here.
Mistpeak Valley - At the end of a trail near the Demon Door is a frozen waterfall. The gnome is on top.
Mistpeak Valley - From the Brightwall Village entrance, cross a few bridges up to some ruins that are home to a skeleton and abandoned work equipment. The gnome is clinging to the cliff wall nearby.
The Hole - Hanging on a post beside the demolished monorail.
The Hole - Enter the Hobbe arena, then turn to face the entry arch. It is hanging up on the archway.
Chillbreath Caverns - There are multiple access points from Mistpeak Valley to Chillbreath Caverns. For this gnome, you’ll want to use the entrance uphill from the monorail station. It is identifiable by being a brown, unfrozen cave. Inside is a lake of ice; the gnome is precariously balanced on a stalagmite in the center of it.
Chillbreath Caverns - Start at the Mistpeak Valley Demon Door, facing away from it. Ascend the mountain to the right and keep hanging right until you reach a bridge. Cross the bridge and there is an icy cavern on your left. Proceed inside to Chillbreath Caverns and the gnome is affixed to a stalactite on the ceiling.
Fable 3 Gnomes - Mercenary Camp, Mourningwood, Ossuary and Sunset House
- Mercenary Camp - Atop a water tower at the rear of the camp.
- Mourningwood - From Mourningwood Fort, run up the path on the hill towards the cemetery. Before reaching it, you’ll pass under a ruined archway. The gnome is attached to the arch.
- Mourningwood - Among the rocks by the Bowerstone Industrial sewer entrance.
- Ossuary - On a balcony housing a treasure chest and five large tombs. It is between the third and fourth tomb.

Sandfall Palace - As you journey through the second large room of the palace, you’ll head up a set of stairs to a raised walkway. While crossing the walkway, look for the gnome along the wall by a torch.
