    This is another story related achievement from the Fable: The Lost Chapters content. There will be spoilers, so if you are happy knowing you will get the achievement regardless of what you do, so long as you keep progressing you can feel at ease. If you're curious as to what lies ahead, read on...


    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***


    *** I've had an idea. Because this game lets you play any way you want, everyone is going to develop a fighting style they are comfortable with. Since everyone is going to have their own way to handle these fights, I'd like to encourage the TA community to post their strategies for the actual fights in the comments. Anyone looking for actual fight techniques can go there and find out what works and pick the style that works best for them (this was why I was reluctant to do a blow-by-blow of how to handle the fights...and because Fable isn't really that difficult with regards to the combat laugh)***
    Thanks to DJH4311, the first commenter, for taking the initiative to post his thoughts on the fights. This inspired my idea.

    DJH4311So the achievement popped for you if you went the Noble route? I went renegade just in case and it popped for me that way. The wording is kind of misleading.

    Thunder - The fight is almost identical to the Gibbet Hill battle, only it doesn't move from place to place. I recommend using a Flourish to knock him down, get behind him and smack him until he raises his shields.

    Briar Rose - If you keep knocking her down with Florishes, she doesn't get much chance to use the Life spells, but the illusion spells are scripted at certain health values.

    Guildmaster - Once the guards are defeated he will ask you to go after Nostro instead, refuse to get his soul.

    MEGAMAN962Ya, the achievement pops regardless. This is just another one of the story achievements for the game. So long as you keep playing, you can't miss it. It is good to get more info on the fights I didn't participate in though.

    MEGAMAN962Thought I'd throw my strategy in here too.

    I play full light side/good guy, so my Physical Shield is free (I've even seen my mana regenerate with it active a few times, then I'd f' up and target a guard by mistake or something). I use this spell alone. For offense, I default to melee, but if an enemy is tough up close (brute strength) I'll go with archery.

    My strategy for the Arena fight was simple. Keep Physical Shield up and flourish a lot to break through the Minion's blocks. Keep an eye out when the Summoners come. They can wipe out you mana fast with a shot or 2. Keep popping mana potions as needed.

    The fight in the graveyard was relatively simple. The only thing to note is Screamers' main attack is a Drain Life sort of attack. This (or something I am unaware of) bypassed my Physical Shield. Because I normally don't take any damage, I wasn't watching my health. When the fight ended, I had around 3/10 of my life remaining.

    Last, there was the fight in the Circle of the Dead. Again, just keep the Physical Shield up and attack as you prefer. I didn't lock on so that I could easily change targets. Swing towards one of the underlings. When it dies, change direction and attack Nostro until he is transparent. Rinse and repeat as needed. ^^

    drabikI found the fight against Nostro the easiest and quickest. I used my Upgraded Time Spell, and my Tears of Avo sword. Slow time, attack one undead, then continually attack Nostro. Other undead will approach, so you will extend the time you have to attack Nostro without switching enemies.

    +1 for the solution. Note that we do have spoiler tags now, which may make the solution a bit tidier. wink

    MEGAMAN962Thanks for the positive. I wouldn't mind knowing how to use the spoiler tags. Is there somewhere on the site that show or tells how?
    Posted by MEGAMAN962 on 15 Feb 14 at 21:01
    drabikThe code is [spoiler ] before and [/spoiler ] after, without spaces. Or you can just highlight what you want to spoiler-ise and click the 'Spoiler' button.

    MEGAMAN962Nice! Thanks. Feel kinda stupid not seeing the spoiler button right above the typing box ><

    DJH4311If you want to add my info to the guide under the spoiler tag mate, feel free. Don't forget to delete my comment afterwards, if you can. PM me if you can't and I'll get rid of it.

    MEGAMAN962I want to wait and see if people add some other strategies before I decide what to do there. If there aren't too many after a month, I might add another spoilers tag at the bottom and consolidate all strategies that are posted there for people's convenience. I'll thank the submitters of any strategies and give credit where appropriate, of course.
