Finding every hidden item in Albion requires keen eyes and plenty of patience throughout your journey in Fable 3. Among the most elusive collectibles scattered across the world are Brian's missing gnomes, which shout insults whenever you draw near. Finding the gnome hiding in the Dweller Camp is an early-game milestone that helps completionists clear the Mistpeak Valley region.
Prerequisites for Tracking Down Gnomes
Before you can begin hunting for these vocal statues, you must first accept the Gnomes Are Evil quest in Brightwall. Speaking with Brian unlocks the ability to hear and shoot the gnomes hidden around the world. Without starting this specific side quest, the gnomes will not spawn in their designated locations.
Equipping a reliable ranged weapon like a rifle or pistol is essential for destroying them from a distance. Many gnomes rest high on rocky ledges or behind structures where melee attacks cannot reach. Keeping your sound volume up helps tremendously, as their distinctive high-pitched insults indicate when one is nearby.
Locating the Dweller Camp Gnome
To locate the gnome within the Dweller Camp, travel to the main settlement nestled in Mistpeak Valley. Head toward the rear area of the camp past the caravan wagons and livestock enclosures. Look along the rocky cliff face that borders the edge of the campsite boundaries.
The gnome is perched high up on the mountain wall near Sabin's lodge and surrounding tents. Aim your ranged weapon carefully at the small wooden platform or ledge protruding from the cliff. A single precise shot will shatter the gnome and register it toward your total quest progress.
Tips for Collecting All Region Items
Mistpeak Valley and the Dweller Camp contain several other collectibles besides the hidden gnome. Exploring behind tents and following narrow dirt paths often reveals silver keys and dig spots. Checking every corner ensures you do not leave valuable treasure chests behind while exploring.
Combining gnome hunting with general exploration saves time as you travel between main story quests. Map markers do not show gnome positions, so listening for audio cues remains your best tracking tool. Destroying all fifty gnomes across Albion eventually yields rewarding trophies and exclusive item rewards.
