Evil Gnomes – Fable III

Welcome to our Fable III evil gnomes section!

After completing Gnomes Are Great! and the first portion of Gnomes Are Evil!, you will begin Fable III’s longest and most tedious quest. Finding the Evil Gnomes for Brian scattered all across Albion is quite a challenge and is sure to test one’s patience far more than one’s ability. Thankfully, we’ve got all 50 Evil Gnome locations for you, along with screenshots in case you’re having trouble finding them.

A few recommendations: the Evil Gnomes aren’t too hard to find if you know where to look, and can be most easily located by listening for audio cues. They have very distinctive voices and throw insults at you whenever you’re near, so use those to track them down. You can only use guns to smash them, and you’ll usually have to manually aim at them in order to actually hit them properly. Finally, Evil Gnomes are almost always suspended on walls, objects and are rarely hard to spot, but are still usually outside your regular field of view.

Evil Gnomes Locations
