Gnomes - Fable 3 Guide - IGN (2024)

Before collecting Gnomes you'll have to complete a two Side Quests, "Gnomes are Great" and "Gnomes are Evil" in Brightwall Village. After that, the 50 Gnomes hidden in Albion will come to life. You must shoot the loudmouthed Gnomes to collect them. Brian, in Brightwall Village, will then reward you for your efforts as part of the Gnomes are Evil Side Quest.

Talk to Brian in the Gnome-filled grotto by the Brightwall Academy/Library after you complete Gnomes are Great and he'll tell you the Gnomes have escaped. Follow the path to the first Gnome in the Misgnomer House. Here you will find the first Gnome (Brightwall Village 1/5). Stop just inside the door and pull out your gun. Press the LEFT TRIGGER to entire first-person aiming mode and look up.

Now, return to Brian. It turns out there are 49 more of these awful creatures scattered about Albion. You need to shoot every one of them to complete this Side Quest!

The Veiled Path (3/4)

About halfway up the long stairs at the end of the Veiled Path (you'll know them when you see them) is a Gnome on the top of a column.

The Veiled Path [Enigma] (4/4)

At the staircase at the far end of The Veiled Path is the entrance to an area called The Enigma. Don't let the small area fool you, there's more to The Enigma -- look for a Flit Switch at the end of the room. It's above the door. Use the Fireball gauntlet (alone) to light the torches in the next area. Run into the room directly across from the door you used to enter the area to shoot this Gnome. It's on a platform just as you enter the door -- but you can't go any further since there's rubble in the way.
