Introduction

This set of maps isn’t intended as a walkthrough for Fable 3. It’s for those who’ve already played the game, but who are unable to remember where to find all the collectibles.

It shows the locations of the silver keys, the gold keys, the Brightwall Academy books, the garden gnomes, and the Auroran flowers. It also includes the pages of Ben Finn’s Diary, the insulting letters from Arthur, and the demon doors, as while these are not collectibles, they are items most players will want to find. Treasure chests and dive spots are shown, but this is more to help players get their bearings than because of their value to collectors.

The set of maps is not comprehensive. It doesn’t include optional locations whose appearance is dictated by choices made when raising money for Albion’s treasury. This was largely to save me the trouble, but also because they don’t contain any of the collectibles listed above. On the other hand, Driftwood, whose construction is also optional, does get a map, because there are a number of collectibles which can only be found there.

The fluid nature of the game inevitably means that you can’t rely on something being shown on the map to mean you can reach it. Certain locations and objects won’t appear until you’ve passed a certain point in the game, or have made a particular choice. Obviously the garden gnomes, or the Brightwall books, won’t appear unless you start the relevant quest.

To summarise, the maps should be regarded as an aide memoire to seasoned players rather than a comprehensive guide to the game.


NOTE: I have done my best to make a compromise between accuracy and pragmatism. The absence of a compass within the game, and the difficulty in estimating distances, means that I’ve had to make a lot of guesses, especially where twisting underground passages are involved. Some locations are entirely omitted where it would be impractical to include them without making already complex maps even more complex, and where the route to them is sufficiently obvious not to require the extra detail.
