- This is the first recorded completion of Fable: The Lost Chapters without taking any hits or any damage. This took 33 attempts to achieve, and many hours of routing and testing. I am very proud to have achieved this feat, and it was a great challenge run. The run itself was very good, everything was gotten in good time and on the first try, no real complaints.
This was streamed on Twitch, watch runs like these live! / etem

Q: What are the rules for this?
A: While it is an arbitrary category, the rules for this are: beat the game taking as few hits as possible. The fewer hits, the better, with the goal obviously being to beat the game without taking any hits or damage. This is also done with no major glitches.
Q: Is Physical Shield allowed? What about blocking?
A: No. Any hits taken with Physical Shield will still count towards the hit counter. Same with blocking, any blocks will count towards the hit counter. The only exception to this rule are the five required hits that are blocked during the melee tutorial with Whisper.
Q: Why not use glitches?
A: Unlike a speedrun, this challenge run forbids major glitches which would otherwise make the run lose a lot of the challenge. The glitches and exploits that are banned include, but is not limited to: Summon clipping, Sword of Aeons early, Force Pushing dead bodies for multiplier, the Hero Save exploit for more items, Hotshot glitch, and using Etemmode or other methods of entering maps early.
Q: What about the buy/sell trick?
A: This is used in the run, as not only is it so trivially easy that it almost feels intended, but only reduces the time spent in some areas. If the Buy/Sell trick was not used, the run would consist of doing lots of rounds of card pairs for gold, which is both tedious and not entertaining, so there is no advantage gained from using the buy/sell trick that would otherwise not be available.
Q: How did you avoid the hit at xx:xx? That should have hit you!
A: Some actions give you a certain amount of very brief invulnerability, or *i-frames*. Actions include rolling (very short + situational, used in instances like Twinblade), Assassin Rush (couple of seconds of i-frames), and Enflame (large amount of i-frames). In this state, I can avoid taking hits that would otherwise be near unavoidable (e.g. the undead in the Graveyard).
Q: Why does the water look like someone poured laundry detergent all over the floor?
A: In this run, I have the Effect Detail setting turned all the way to it's minimum level. This is done for two reasons: it removes the grayscale effect when using Slow Time, improving visibility, and it makes some important visual cues easier to spot, like the incoming ice trap attacks from the Ice Troll.
Q: Is this a speedrun? Why is there a timer? How comes the timer says under two hours but the video length is xx:xx?
A: This is a challenge run, rather than a speedrun, as some strats including waiting for Skorm's Bow sacrifice large amounts of time in exchange for safety/lower difficulty. The timer is counting the "time without loads", and will pause during loading screens, autosaves, or map transitions. This is used to time runs, as loading times are very inconsistent between setups and runs, and is present so that the run is able to be timed accurately. This also helps you, understand where point I am in the run at a given point.
Q: How did you get Skorm's Bow first try? That's cheating!
A: Skorm's Bow's criteria are rather consistent once you know what to do! I had the following requirements which assisted in getting this first try: a non-evil hero, a follower with a large amount of base health, the correct number of "game days passed" (0 going into 1, achieved by using a Golden Carrot in Barrow Fields), and sacrificing at midnight. Wearing evil clothing, the alignment of my follower, or what quest I'm on do not affect the chances at all.
Q: What's next? No Hit 100%? More speedruns?
A: I'll attempt to route out and try All Silver Quests hitless, then if that goes well, potentially look into 100% hitless.

It took fifteen years but you finally did it. You really did it.
Congratulations, Etem!
This is very impressive, and must have been very stressful. Especially the road to bargate prison bit with all the undead spawning randomly
The Graveyard Path is INSANE! You should be proud of yourself!
Wow, congrats! Finally got it
Wow congrats!
I've been watching this man for a while now and he is AMAZING. Congratulations man
This is going down in history
Watching this in the background while at work got me in the zone, this game's sounds are so therapeutic to me. Good stuff, love the channel. Been browsing it a lot lately. Keep em' coming!
"There's money to be made trading between shops, they sAAAAHHHH! AAAAHHHHHHH! AIIIIEEEEE!!!" -scared traders
I never even knew you could rush through the trader escort quest and save the werewolf guy.
yep I think if either you're too slow or if you pick up the troll loot he transforms.
This was great Etem! But I feel disappointed there was no click bait thumbnail 😥 your description of one sounded magical!
Well bloody done mate!!
I'm putting up a shrine of you and worshipping you everyday now
This is amazing
Congrats, my favorite game of all time :D
amazing
i was here ! ! !
Yeah amo este juego ni si quiera se como lo pase más de una vez
This is legendary holy shit
Very impressive, well done. Thank you for another great video.
Nice)
I passed.
But slowly. 6-7 hours.
Thanks to the physical shield, this is generally not difficult.
There were some dangerous moments though.
1. Sparring with Whisper at school.
2. Escape from the dungeon.
3. Banshee in the cemetery.
4. The dragon can hit very hard.
Yeah, with Physical Shield it's not too bad, it's when you don't that it becomes a nightmare to deal with, but well done! That's still very impressive.
Screamer, not Banshee.
EYYYY CONGRATS MAN
Great run man, hope I get to watch the next run live!
um actually u got hit at 0:01 :/ run invalid
Seriously tho great job! that's really impressive
you did it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Legend!
Crazy how much xp you can get early game with that combat multiplier.
100% hitless or silver quests when :)
Hey! I saw your ESA run and instantly loved the run and your type of commentary, so I checked out this video and it's amazing as well. I just have a couple of questions, for example why did you make every NPC hoarding a crate drop it, was it just for the lols or is it actually important for the run? Also, was there a reason you killed all the agressive NPCs and also all the friendly ones too, like the guards in Protect Orchard Farm or, later on, the guard during the Archeologist mission?
Hey! I really appreciate your kind words. Talking to NPCs holding a crate was purely for fun, sadly doesn't affect the run at all.
In Orchard Farm, I attack the guards in between bandit waves to sustain my combat multiplier and stop it dropping over time, then at the end, I kill them for extra combat multiplier + exp.
The ones in Archaeologist were more just to make sure they didn't get in my way at all or accidentally fire an arrow off in my direction. Probably not required, but still done anyways.
Happy to answer any more questions you may have :)
yoooooooooo
Did anyone else see the kraken on the way in? He was there and then dissapeared. It's at 1:20:53
Weird yeah!
There's actually a glitch that if you stop and shoot it with an arrow, it does instantly and you can skip the fight on the way out!
Dude upload more your video is really good
FrankerZ
Is this on PC? If so, how you get controller working on pc version?
I'm pretty sure it's keyboard
Oh no hit run, I thought it meant you couldn't hit anyone, but you mean no one is allowed to hit you lol
I just got an A+ against whisper with only my fists Was kinda hard lol.
You got hit right in the beginning. Malachi's Guide's smashed this 100% and took no damage, 50+ boasts, and I think he qualified for every good version of achievement.
Well, actually... 🤓
- No he did not got hit. Run starts at 0:23
- Malachi's Guide's playthrough can't be qualified as the same challenge, as it's combination of many individual videos, and clearly was not a single segment, which is the point of Etem's challenge. You can easily see that there is no footage between quests in Malachi's Guide's playthrough (for example, part 2: 2:08:20), so even if it was no-reset run, (which is highly unlikely), it is not verifiable, while all Etem's attempts were done live on twitch, and it's all in one video.
- Also, it is different game. Fable Anniversary is the remastered version of the Fable, although very similar, it's not the same thing.
- Boasting is cool, but has nothing to do with Etem's challenge. Also, Malachi's Guide's playthrough, (part2, 1:49:43), he uses weapons in this silver quest, so he does not take all boasts, (particularly some of the harder combinations of them, which would actually makes it challenging), which makes the boasting part completely irrelevant for the challenge part.
- Malachi's Guide did a good casual 100% playthrough and I respect that he did quests with no damage and some extra challenges, but another point of Etem's video is that it is a speedrun, so game was completed in less than 2 hours as well.
tl:dr - you completely missed the point of the challenge; pls don't disrespect this legendary run by Etem.
Etem do you still stream fable, time to time? I would really be happy to catch one of your live runs
