/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \                    The Challenge                        FPMTC
===============================================================================
The challenge I am bestowing upon you, should you choose to accept, is to get
through the Fable: The Lost Chapters game as you normally would, but with your
character being a Pure Mage. This means that you can only spend the experience
you get in the magical portion of the level system, only use weapons and armor
that a mage would use. That is simple, yes?
Well, yes and no. You could still use weapons, but only certain ones, and you
can't level up strength so they will be useless in the end game. You can't use
bows at all (except to open a Demon Door and get a Silver Key). And you can
only use magical armor.
With that being said, you should be warned that at the end of the game, certain
Bosses will bite your head off, metaphorically speaking of course. You will not
be able to level up your Health, so you will have the tiniest amount of Health
that the game gives you at the beginning. Now, there is nothing stopping you
from drinking the Elixirs of Life that you find around Albion. I have done it
both ways, and without the potions, the true final Boss will kill you in one
shot should you be caught off guard. So the potions do help, but you don’t have
to take them if you want the extra challenge. I will list where to find them
all anyway, so no worry.
Now, there is nothing wrong with drinking the Willmaster's Elixirs! They will
increase your Mana, making you cast more spells without having to refill your
meter with potions. Grab them all and drink them as soon as you can.
________
/ Fable  \===================================================================
/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \              How to Complete Said Challenge             FPMFU
===============================================================================
Beat the game using only the armor and weapons listed in this guide; only spend
your experience in the magic area. Other than that, there is really nothing to
it. I will list a few tips.
Get the Treasure Clues as soon as you can get them, so that you can get the
Frying Pan. To find them all, look in the section entitled: Mana Augmentations/
Frying Pan. Don’t use it when you get it though, because the ideal thing to do
is to put 5 Mana Augmentations on it. But you have to do it in one shot or else
you will lose the 5th slot. So wait until you have five Mana Augmentations. You
won't have five until you reach the Northern Wastes, so some people might be
put off by that. It's annoying that you can't get all the Augmentations sooner,
but it just adds more of a challenge.
Food: I suggest eating only fish and either tofu or crunchy chicks for your
Alignment. If you eat meat and carrots, they will give you experience in areas
you can't level up, so stay away from them. Apples and other healthy things are
fine too. Beer is also fine ;)
Don’t sell your Resurrection Phials. You will need ALL of them in the end game
so don’t sell them off or waste them early. You will need nine of them in the
tough Boss Battles so make sure you have them. Some are scattered about Albion,
but since they can be bought in stores, I will not list there locations.
Only use the weapons and armor listed in their respective sections. A mage
would not use Long Swords or Axes in battle. And they would not use Chainmail
or any type of Heavy Armor. They would use robes or something of that nature.
Find all the Will Master's Elixirs as soon as you can and drink them. Mana will
be your only defense and your main way of attacking, so make sure you max it
out as soon as possible.
Buy as many Will Potions as possible. You will be using Mana faster than you
have ever used it before, so make sure you have the means to restore it when
you run out. You will spend a lot of gold on these potions so save up. You will
find yourself buying out entire stocks before you set out to a tough battle, so
lacking of funds will be troublesome.
And finally - in battle, try to only use magic. You can use your melee weapon,
but you will lose valuable experience this way. Check out the specific weapons
you can use and which you can't. You also should level up the Enflame, Physical
Shield, Slow Time, and Lighting spells to the max as early as possible in the
game. And do it in that order. Enflame will be your most trusty and useful
spell. It will save you many a time from certain doom. Physical Shield will
save you from taking damage to your little Health bar and convert it to your
mana instead. You will go through Will potions more quickly, but you will not
die - so I think that's a fair trade-off. Slow Time will help you in the end
game, so don’t even think about taking on the first final Boss without having
this maxed out. I put Lighting there, to have an offensive spell other than
Enflame, but you don’t really need it. If you want something else like Fireball
go right ahead and do it.
Now these spells are not the only ones in the game you will use. They're just
the ones you will use most often and should max out before purchasing any other
spell. After you max these out, start leveling up and maxing out other spells
in the order you think is best. They will not be as useful as these, so it
doesn't really matter. Another objective of yours is to max every spell out,
which will make your character have glowing runic tattoos all over his body.
Kind of like Maze's, but not as bright nor as cool. More spells also make your
hands glow really bright which is pretty cool. You don’t have to level up every
spell though, if you want to stay young. But you could also do the Fountain of
Youth glitch >_>
And that's pretty much all the guidelines I can give you. Look in the sections
below for more specifics and enjoy the challenge!

/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \                  Will Master's Elixirs                  FPMWM
===============================================================================
This is a list of what should be all of the Will Masters Elixir's in Albion.
You can never have enough Mana, especially being a Pure Mage, so make sure to
grab as many of these as you can.
Greatwood Entrance - There is a treasure chest on the west end of the area.
Open it to find the Will Master's Elixir.
Cave Larder - In the Hobbe Cave, enter the second door you come to which will
be on your left. Inside this cave larder will be Hobbes and a five Silver Key
Chest. Open the chest for an Elixir.
Barrow Fields - Talk to the Demon Door in this area and he will command you to
be as fat as possible, and only then will he let you in. So go to the tavern in
Oakvale and buy as much meat and beer as you can and stuff your face. Once you
are Obese, talk to the Demon Door again and he should let you in. Open the
chest which will contain an Elixir.
Gray House - Once you get in the cellar, open the treasure chest for the Will
Masters Elixir.
Witchwood Lake - Fish by the ripples in the pond to get an Elixir.
Archon's Shrine - There are two sets of ripples in the area - one of them will
yield a Will Master's Elixir.
And that's that. That should be all of the Will Master's Elixirs in the game.
Please E-mail me if there are any missing from that list.

/  Chapters  \                     Elixirs of Life                    FPMEL
===============================================================================
This is a list of what should be all of the Elixirs of Life in Albion. To make
life easier, find these as soon as you can get to them. I will be listing these
by the areas they are in and in the order you're supposed to go to those areas.
Heroes' Guild - Talk to the Demon Door with your lamp lit and he will open for
you. Open the chest by the book case to get the Elixir of Life.
Orchard Farm - Fish in the water by the farmhouse to get the Elixir.
Greatwood Lake - Open the five Silver Key Chest to find the Elixir inside.
Knothole Glade - Shoot the Demon Door between the eyes with an arrow so he can
open up. Open the chest inside for the Elixir.
The Lost Bay - Fish by the ripples in the water to fish out another Elixir.
Archon's Shrine - There are two sets of ripples in the water here. One of them
will contain an Elixir of Life.
And that concludes the list of Elixirs of Life. It’s a short list, I know. You
will just have to face the fact that you will not have much Health. You might
as well not look for them in the first place to make it more of a challenge.
E-mail me by following the guidelines if I have missed anything, please.

/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \                        Weapons                          FPMMW
===============================================================================
Stick
Frying Pan
Maces
That's it. Those are all the melee weapons you could use. The stick which
you're given by the Guildmaser, the Frying Pan which you can obtain by finding
all the Treasure Clues and figuring out where it's hidden, and any Mace you can
find or purchase.
As for Bows and Crossbows:
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THEM! That's right. You're not allowed to use bows as
a method for battling things. You could hold one just for fun and use it for
Demon Doors and other areas which you need to use it, but not for battle. Mages
do not use bows! That being said, it's ok to Augment them and have them equiped
the entire time. So long as they're not used, it's ok to equip them with some
augmentations.
So, to recap: No Bows, no Longswords, no Heavy Weapons, etc. Only use Maces and
the Frying Pan. However, you can Augment Bows as long as you don't use them.

/  Chapters  \                        Armor                            FPMWR
===============================================================================
Armor is simple. Wear only Wizard Robes and things of that nature. The list
that follows is all that you should be wearing in the game:
Apprentice Robes
Hooded Apprentice Robes
Will User Robes
Bright Will User Robes
Dark Will User Robes
Dresses...
Bright Wizard Hat
Dark Wizard Hat
And either the Pimp Hat or Chicken hat or something silly...if you must.
You should not be wearing anything else other than what's on this list unless
you're doing it for a quest or a Demon Door or something.
The first two sets of clothing are given to you by the Guildmaster. I will
list how to get the Will User Robes and the Wizard Hats in their respective
sections below. Dresses can be bought in most clothing stores. And the pimp hat
is given to you for having sex 10 times. Talk to the Demon Door in the Bordello
in Darkwood for that. And the Chicken Hat is given to you for winning at the
Chicken Kicking Competition in Oakvale.

/ Fable  \===================================================================
/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \               Mana Augmentations/Frying Pan             FPMMF
===============================================================================
First: The Frying Pan. You need to get all the Treasure Clues, then dig for the
Pan. Here is how to get the clues:
o---===---===---===---===---===---===---o
Treasure Clues
o---===---===---===---===---===---===---o
There are six treasure clues in Albion. Collect them all and they will point
you to some buried treasure.
Clue 1 - Given to you as a reward for the Bounty Hunt quest.
Clue 2 - Given to you for doing the Lost Traders quest.
Clue 3 - The last assassin you kill in the Assassin Attacks quest will drop it.
Clue 4 - Participate in the Knothole Glade Archery Competition.
Clue 5 - Search the western side of Orchard Farm for a chest. A clue is inside.
Clue 6 - Windmill Hill, behind the windmill in a chest.
Once you get all six clues, you should be able to decipher them and learn the
location of the treasure. If you can't decipher them, then look below for the
location of the treasure and what it is. Remember, you need all of the clues or
else the treasure will be useless.
****Spoilers****
The treasure is...a frying pan! Yes, but not just any ordinary frying pan. No,
no, this one has 4-5 Augmentation slots. The reason I say 4-5 is because the
5th one is hidden. You can only access it while placing the other Augmentations
on the pan, which means you must place 5 at once, not 3 and then go back for
the other two, because the fifth one will be gone. You only have one chance at
it, so don’t mess up.
If you can't find the pan, I will have to tell you, I guess. It's in Orchard
Farm. Dig between the Barn and two piles of Hay. Dig around there until you get
a message that says you found the treasure. Remember, have all 5 and put them
on at the same time, or else you will never get the 5th slot again.
----
Now, for Treasure Clue 3. You may not know where all the assassins are, so here
is the assassin attacks quest. The final assassin you kill will drop it:
o---===---===---===---===---===---===---o
Assassin Attacks Quest
o---===---===---===---===---===---===---o
Towards the end of the game, this quest will be unlocked. The start of the
quest is in Knothole Glade. Twindblade's Assassins are after you, and it's your
job to kill them off. The locations of the Assassins are as follows:
--- Knothole Glade. Up the path across demon door. Kill the Assassin for a Doll
of You.
--- Witchwood Cullis Gate. Walk around the Focus Stone and he should come out
and try to attack you.
--- Windmill Hill. You guessed it, by the windmill.
--- On the prison path. Just walk the length of it and he will show up.
--- Hook Coast near the Focus Stone. If this be your last one, then he will
drop the third Treasure Clue.
---
After you get all the Treasure Clues, you could dig up the Pan. Don’t start the
augmenting until you have all 5 Mana Augmentations though. There are two in the
original part of Albion, one in a chest in the Northern Waste, and the other
two can be purchased in Snowspire. Here are the locations of the two in the
original part of Albion.
In the silver key chest when you are fighting Thunder during the Mary Lady Grey
quest. This is the only way you can get this one, so you will be stuck doing it
this way, instead of turning Lady Grey in. Oh well, at least you got a nice sum
of gold for selling your soul. And a Mana Augmentation too!
The other one can be purchased from one of the shops in Hook Coast for lots of
gold.
And you can't get anymore until you reach the Northern Wastes. There is one in
a chest in the Necropolis and the other two can be purchased in Snowspire. Go
to the weapon shop there and buy one, rest the number of days needed and buy
the other one. Once you have all five, augment them all at once on the Frying
Pan and you shouldn't worry about using as many Will potions anymore.

/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \                    Will User Robes                      FPMWU
===============================================================================
There are three sets of Will User Robes and I will list how to get them in this
section. These Robes are said to enhance magical power, but I think that's not
so true. They may not make spells stronger, but maybe they provide you with
more magical protection, so you take less damage. Who knows?
Will User Robes - These Robes are Neutral, so they won't effect your alignment.
They do the same things that the other robes do though. You can buy them in the
Oakvale Clothing/Armor shop.
Bright Will User Robes - Go to the nearest shop and buy a gift. Any gift will
do. Next make your way by whatever means to the Small Cottage in Greatwood. DO
NOT TALK to the Demon Door, but give the gift to him by setting it to one of
your shortcuts. Give it to him without talking and he will be happy that he got
a gift without having to ask for it and will let you in. Open the chest in this
area for a set of Bright Will User Robes. These will boost your alignment to
the good side.
Dark Will User Robes - Look for a Demon Door in Darkwood and talk to it. He
will summon a bunch of Hobbes on you. Defeat all of them and the door will open
up. Open the chest for a set of Dark Will User Robes. This set boosts your
alignment to the evil side.

/ The Lost \
/  Chapters  \                Bright/Dark Wizard Hats                  FPMWH
===============================================================================
You can either get a Bright or Dark Wizard's hat, but not both. To do it, talk
to the teacher in the school and he will ask you to donate books to the school.
Now, in order to get the Bright Wizard Hat, you can donate about six "good"
books only. To get the Dark Wizard Hat, you can donate about six "evil" books
only. Here is a list of all the books you need to donate:
These Books are all located in the Guild:
A Love Story
Creatures of Albion Book 1
Creatures of Albion Book 2
Creatures of Albion Book 3
Jack Of Blades
Making Friends
The Arena
The Dragon
The Northern Wastes
The Old Kingdom
The Other Land
The Pale Balverine
The Tale of Maxley
The Tale of Twinblade
These Books are located in Bowerstone South. Search in all of the bookshelves
in peoples houses:
Eyes of a Killer
The Guild Of Zeroes
The Repentant Alchemist
Windbreaker's Rule Book
You Are Not a Bad Person
This one is in Bowerstone North:
The Tailor's Tragedy
These are in Oakvale. Again, search in bookshelves.
The Oakvale Raid
The Sock Method
The Trials of Aarkan
The Ugly Guide
This one is located in Knothole Glade:
The Balverine Slayer
All the books from the Guild are "good", so just donate all the ones from the
Guild to get the Bright Wizard Hat. Here are some of "Evil" books that you
should donate for the Dark Hat:
-Windbreaker's Rule Book
-The Guild of Zeros
-Eyes of a Killer
-The Sock Method
-The Ugly Guide
-You Are Not A Bad Person
Tip: In order to get the Teacher to take the evil books, you must have no good
books in your inventory. If you do have some good books in your inventory, then
you could sell them to the General Shop in Oakvale. They will buy most books
off your hands, so this makes it easier to get the Dark Wizard Hat.
