[OLD] Any% Guide 

EDIT: This guide is a little outdated, Jimmie1717 put way too much effort into updating the route here http://pastebin.com/EpZfYvqp

This guide assumes you have played and beaten the game before.

Bowerstone Castle:
Clothes don't matter. Run from point a to point b, skip all cut scenes. Sign the petition. Kill your boyfriend/girlfriend.
Road to Rule Gate 1:
Pickup Fireball. Duh.

The Catacombs:
Run past the bats.

Mercenary Camp:
Run past everything. When at the final gate before Saker, kill the mercenaries by the sandbags next to his gate. Those are the guys that trigger the gate. Throw fireballs at Saker forever.

Road to Rule Gate 3:
Get Magic Level 2.

Leaders and Followers:
Warp to the Pub, go upstairs. When you can leave, warp to the Dweller Camp. Hold RT to find dwellers with guild seals over their heads. Give them money. When all the dwellers have been given money, take the chicken quest in Brightwall. You should have 2-3 guild seals left to get. Shake hands with the townspeople until you have 2 left. Shake hands with the soldiers at the gate. Sign the promise. Warp to Dweller Camp. Sign the promise.

100 Guild Seal Blast Extreme Turbo Arcade Edition:
Put on the pajamas. Dye everything all different colors. Warp to Brightwall. Buy and eat all the mutton and alcohol. Warp to Bowerstone Market. Go to warp again but target the pie stands. Eat all the pies. Warp to Millfields to a building next to the demon door. Talk to the demon door. He will open up. Inside is a chest with the guild seals. Do The Game quest. As usual, run through everything, you have to fight everything but the demon chickens. The baron killer sword is automatically equipped. Unsure which choice is faster for the ending. I think it's the kiss. Make sure the quest is done when the screen says it is. Warp to Lesley in Mourningwood. Accept the quest Peace, Love, and Homicide. Warp to Rhys. Pull out the gun, push down on the D-Pad to turn off safe mode and shoot him twice. Warp to Lesley again. Profit. You should have 100 guild seals now. Warp to THE PUB next to Page's Hideout. This makes where you appear more consistently close to the hideout. Talk to Page. Equip the stuff. Warp to the house next to Reaver's. Enter the Masquerade.

The Masquerade:
You can't do anything to make it faster. Just do it as fast as you can. If you picked up any slow time potions somehow, you can use them on the Balverines to make killing them easier. Sign the promise.

Road to Rule Gate 8:

Traitors: 
Warp to Bowerstone Castle. Skip the scene. Warp to the Page Hideout Pub. Enter the hideout. Follow Ben "Simon Pegg" Finn to the royal guard. Run past everybody. Kill the guys next to the ships. Go to Aurora.

The Worst Part:
You can't run past Walter for the majority of the cave. Do what the game tells you. Go back to the normal routine of running past everything once Walter gets taken. Do direct hits on the Sentinel if you can. Get rid of Walter once the game says you can. Follow Peter Molyneux's Golden Breadrumbs out of the dessert. If they arent there, just sprint at Shadow Walters. When in Aurora, just follow the breadcrumbs to the guy buy the shrine, listen to him, then run back to Kalin. Sign the promise. 

Road to Rule Gate 9:
Get Nothing

The Battle for Albion:
Kill the dude at the Mortar, then keep running. The game will catch up to you. Kill some guys while you wait for the game to comprehend you went farther than your mates.

The Weight of the World:
As a general rule, the evil decision is always faster. Always. Just side with Reaver on everything. 
Kill Logan. Decor doesn't matter. This goes for all court decisions. Also always choose the evil choices with the finance man.

Road to Rule Gate 10:
Get Magic Level 5.

Desert Star:
Guess. Warp to City of Aurora, run to Shifting Sands, run to the palace, run past everyone, grab the rock, run to Shifting Sands, warp to Bowerstone Castle. Put the money in the treasury.

Crime and Punishment:
Warp to Industrial Hideout. Talk to Page. Warp to the pub in the market. Kill the dudes, get the note and key. Cross the bridge, go down the stairs, enter the hideout. Run past everything. Kill the Saker clones, take the bribe.

Stolen Statue:
Warp to the lady. Get the quest. Make sure she's finished talking to trigger Silverpines into the proper setting. Run into Silverpines. Run to the creepy dude. Accept his offer. Destroy the torches, kill the villagers, run back to creepy dude. Get the Statue. Go back to the lady. Put the money in the treasury.

Do The Ends Justify The Means?
Run to the barriers. Kill the shadows at the barriers. Kill the sentinels. Kill Walter. Time is on the hit that kills Walter.

[OLD] Quick Tips

-Fast travel when ever possible.

-Sell prince outfit to buy mercenary clothes.

-Giving money to citizens is the fastest way to earn guild seals.

-Magic is the best weapon for crowd control and killing multiple enemy's.

-Upgrading Magic and Pistol/Rifle is the best chance for quick kills, enemy's block melee.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS 100% CORRECT SO PLEASE POST YOUR IDEAS/COMMENTS ON THIS FORUM!!! GOOD LUCK ON THE RUNS!!!!!

[OLD] Updated Strats

Here are some real strats for going fast.

- Always use magic in combat. The only time you should use the sword is to use the flitswitch and killing the baron. The only time you should use the gun is for the flitswitch and killing Rhys, and maybe the silver nitrate lamps.
- The chests you need from the Road to Rule are Fireball, Magic Power 1-5, Shock, Dye Pack 1, Dye Pack 2, and Spellweaving. 
- Weave Fireball and Shock together. You will deal tons of damage.
- There are about 18-19 guild seals you can get from interacting with the dwellers in Mistpeak. Hold right trigger to see if you have gotten a guild seal from giving them money. This saves time rather then running up to everyone and getting doubles, wasting time.
- The evil choices will be faster in both the short term and the long term, except for the petition in the beginning of the game. Every other choice is faster to be evil.
- Warping to a building next to a quest instead of the quest itself will usually put you closer to the quest when you spawn. The only thing this isn't true for is Saker and the Demon Door in Millfields.
- The only time you have to actually follow an NPC when the quest tells you to is Walter during Aurora. He will not move if you get far enough ahead of him.
- The Mortar section of Mourningwood has no gimmicks to make it go faster. If anything, killing as many as you can with each shot makes it go by faster. 
- You can't save Jammy. He will run into hollowmen to get himself killed. Try and get him killed early on, as the event of his death may make it go by faster. Untested, just theory.
- Once spell weaving is acquired, you have to hit b every time you get a spell power upgrade. This will play the powerup animation in the other hand. This will save you from having the lengthy animation in the middle of combat.
- Once the first gate is open after combat in the mercenary camp, the only mercenaries you have to kill are the ones in the sandbagged area next to Saker's gate. This will open the gate, allowing you to fight Saker.
- If you think you are going to die because everything but your character is in black and white and the red vignetting on the sides of the screen is getting pretty big, run into a group of enemies or at the big enemy or at Walter depending on what fight it is. The respawn shockwave deals damage to enemies.
- While the screen is white when a portal to the rule to road is spawning in, you still have control of your character. You can use this to move towards the portal.

Fable 3 Any% PC Version Notes [2021/11/29]

Not a tutorial but these are the notes I use while doing a speedrun.

Fable 3 Road of Rules 100% Version 3.0 Notes [No Post Game Route]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G9Lf0TML5ehll_T8AwH5nZ-SyLxsqlmP7KNIF2hV3pY/edit?usp=sharing

PC running without GFWL functionality

Going through the process of emulating GFWL functionality to get your game to run is a good deal of effort that requires you to to modify and overwrite pre-existing Windows software (a guide to doing that can be found in the Fable Speedruning Discord). It can be fun, especially if you're interested in finishing your weapon collection or running co-op, but...

The GFWL fix seems to result in longer load times and makes it *obnoxiously* difficult to get any sort of load-remover to behave consistently for everyone. If you're interested in improving your RTA for free, be sure to download [this shh% setup kit](https://www.speedrun.com/fable_3/resources/r5yvn) and--whether or not you actually use that mod--drop the xlive.dll and xlive.ini files from that package into your Fable 3 install directory (the main folder containing the launcher and .exe). Those files will dupe GFWL functionality without emulating it at all, meaning faster load times, a more stable experience, and a more accurate view of your IGT (which we're not using for PC just yet, but still).

Just be sure to back up the base game's xlive.dll and xlive.ini so you can drop them back into the install directory if you ever want to do online play. The files in that package will override the GFWL fix, so you can have that installed and simply disable it with those two files without causing any extra technical hiccups!

Run fast and have a good one!


Setting up shh%

In case you wanna hear it straight from the source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fable/comments/1dhq7pn/fable_3_mod_guide/
u/The_Architect_032 developed this tool and, in this post, details all the steps you need to do to get it set up.

That post has highly comprehensive directions, but if you can't figure it out I'll be happy to help in the FSR discord or in the comments here.

Here's a link to ScriptInjector.zip with the xlive.ini and xlive.dll that you'll need, perfectly safe in my Google Drive and without any need to look in any other third party websites:

[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXRXXey6JlU1EPaTLWEBhF_xRKzpe409/view?usp=drive_link
](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXRXXey6JlU1EPaTLWEBhF_xRKzpe409/view?usp=drive_link)

When you've got all the appropriate files dropped into all the correct folders, open MyScript01.lua and enter the following before starting the game:

Debug.SetFastSpeech(true)

Save the file, but don't close it! Until I fiddle with MyScript02.lua, which executes differently, I have to warn you all that this script will softlock your game at the end of the Battle for Albion quest (after you return from Aurora). At some point just before or during that quest, you're going to want to tab over to your open MyScript01.lua. Highlight and Ctrl+X "Debug.SetFastSpeech(true)" so that your document is empty, then Save and return to the game. This will disable the mod so that you can get past the unskippable dialog at the end of the quest without softlocking. When the dialog ends, simply tab back over to MyScript01.lua and Ctrl+V the script back into the document, then Save again.

The script WILL NOT RUN if you don't save the .lua file, so be sure to be extra vigilant about it!
