You begin your journey inside a train. There areonly two things to dohere:
The Combat Style you choose will determine your beginning stats and the weapon you start with. But if you don’t like the weapons, don’t worry. You’ll have ample opportunity tochange them later.
Once you’ve chosen,exit the train and go leftto head to the grand doors of the Central Station. Beware, there are two puppets here.
After you’ve defeated both enemy puppets, be sure to grab theSawtoothed Wheel sitting on the ground to the right of the Central Station doors.
Sawtoothed Wheelsare consumable items that you can throw. By using them, you can toss a projectile that does minor damage to a faraway enemy.
Inside the station,grab the Pulse Cell directly ahead on the statue.This is yourmethod of healingin the game, and it will automatically be added to your belt.
With the Pulse Cell in hand,go left of the statue and up the stairs.
There arethree puppetsup the stairs. Two are located at the sides of the area, and one will be patrolling back and forth.
Attack the one sitting on the leftaggressively to finish it and grab theDim Ergo Fragmenton the ground before the one patrolling has the chance to attack. Then,turn around and defeat the patroller.
When both are dead, you can wrap up bydestroying the remaining puppeton the other side.
Dim Ergo Fragments of various varieties will be available throughout the game. These items are consumables that add a set number of Ergo to your total amount. Ergo can be used for purchasing items, leveling up, and upgrading equipment.
Go up the stairsagain, and when you see the grand doors at the top,take a rightto go through the smaller, open doors there.
Inside, there aretwo enemies.One with a gun is standing at the top of the stairs inside. Rush past the one patrolling on the ground toreach the gunner.
After you defeat the gunner, you canface the less-threatening guardwho should now be approaching you.
Continue up another set of stairsthrough the door you didn’t enter through (near where the pistol-shooter was). Once you reach the top, you’ll be met with a long hallway and a puppet facing away at the end.
This is the tutorial’s way of setting up a backstab lesson for you.Walk slowly up to the puppet from behind and tap your attack oncewithout leaning forward to trigger the backstab.
Go right, and another guard will appear from around the corner on the left. After you defeat him, you’ll spyan office room ahead.
Enter this room andpick up the Passenger’s Noteinside. The contents will warn you of the impending miniboss ahead.
Leave the room andgo leftwhere another puppet is facing away from you. As you backstab him, beware ofanother puppet hiding around the corner on the left.
After backstabbing the unaware puppet, thisambusher will run toward you. Dodge or block before attacking him back and then defeating him.
At this point, you may be tempted to enter the nearby room. However, there will be anotherguard coming up the steps.Defeat him firstbefore entering that roomand taking theDim Ergo Fragment.
Go down the stairs now. At the bottom, you’ll be prompted with information about locked doors.Unlock the doorahead of you by interacting with it. This will opena shortcutfor you.
The item beside this door should absolutely be picked up. It isa Fable Catalyst.
Fable Catalysts are items thatrecharge your Fablemeterby a significant amount. Fable meters otherwise charge slowly for each strike you make on an enemy.
Do not go through the shortcut door. Instead,turn around and face the enemyin the corner of the room. This is a miniboss.
The policeman here is an extremely tanky enemy, and it’s all right if he’s a challenge. To defeat him, you’ll need tobe very patientwith his strikes anduse your Fablewhere possible and safe.
When dealing enough damage to him through heavy attacks and Fable attacks, hisbar will turn white.Strike him with a heavy attackto stagger him. Then, like when using your backstab,attack once normallywhen you see thethree, red marks over your lock-on marker.
When the watchman is defeated, you’ll geta Lightweight Frame and a key.
Lightweight Frames and other pieces of equipment can be equipped in your equipment menu at the bottom. These pieces increase your defensive stats but, as they become more potent, are heavy and may increase your equipment load.
Go through the shortcut doornow and into the main part of the Central Station.
Goup the main stairs to the grand doorsat the very top. Your key can now open it.
Krat Central Station Plaza: Crashing The Parade
As you leave the Central Station, walk forward andinteract with the blue light on the ground.This will create a Stargazer.
For a limited time, you will be able to level up here and store items. Stargazers will always provide you with a place to reset your:
Around the fountain, there are several enemies. Some of them will be lying on the ground, waiting to ambush you. You canfind enemies like this by clicking your lock-on button.
We recommendstarting on the left sideof the fountain. There are:
Near the puppet in the corner,grab the item amidst the stacked boxesagainst the buildings: Krat Times Issue 183.
Make your way around the circle, defeating the number of puppets lying and sitting around the fountain.
When the fountain area is cleared,head toward a set of steps in the upper right cornerof the map (when facing from the stargazer). There is a Vivid Ergo Fragment at the bottom of the steps.
At the top, three puppets are lying in wait.Clear them and take theSawtoothed Wheel in the cornernear the gate.
Go back down to the fountain area andtake a right - but not down the stairs. Instead of going down the stairs,take the slim path on the right side of themto a puppet at the end. Defeat it and thengo down the stairs to its left.
A pistol-wielding puppet is lying in wait and would have ambushed you.Strike itand, if needed, jump down after it.
In the area under the gunslinger, there are two normal puppets.Defeat them both.
From this area,go through the doorwayand continue until you cango left.There is aVivid Ergo Fragment on the stairsat the dead end.
Grab it and turn aroundto find a new, tough enemy walking toward you near the flames. This enemy is here toteach you about Perfect Guards(guarding at the last second)and Fury Attacks(when enemies flash red before an attack).
To defeat this enemy, we recommend practicing your blocking and using Fable attacks.
When the strong puppet is defeated, you’re meant to venture to the right. But, if you wish, you’re able to get aspecial view of Hotel Krat by heading straight to the dead end.
There are no known benefits to seeing Hotel Krat like this, but it is visually pleasing.
Go rightfrom the strong puppet and down the alleyway. A puppet is sitting on the ground beside a glowing object.
Move in just enough to bait this puppetup and forward. This will avoid the gunslinger puppet around the corner from ambushing you.
Defeat this puppet,pick up the Thermite, and go around the cornerwhere you must fight the gunslinger and the walking puppet coming down the stairs to the right. When both are defeated,take those right stairs.
Thermite is athrown, consumable item. It is anexplosive, like a grenade, and can cause things to light aflame.
Following the path to the end, you can finda Dim Ergo Fragment.Pick it up.
Before you jump down from this ledge, angle your camera to find thepuppet sitting on the ground under you.Lock on and jump off, striking as you fall. This will do extra damage.
A dog and one more puppet will attack you in this area as well.
Go straight through this areaand into the shady alleyway. It dead-ends at a gate.
Venigini’s Urgent Repair Toolis found at this dead end. Pick it up andreturn to the alley-split,now going right and up the stairs.
Veinigin’s Urgent Repair Tool will automatically repair your weapon in combat. This is handy for emergency repairs during boss fights when you may’t afford to use your grinding stone.

As you enter this new area, there are stairs to the left and right. Before going down or up either of them, we recommendtaking out the patrolling guards.
There is one guard coming up the stairs on the left, and one guard down the stairs on the right. When both are defeated,go down the stairs on the left.
A dog will be distracted with some corpses at the bottom. Defeat it andtake the Fable Catalyst.
Going up the stairsnow, there is one guard on the way. So dispose of him and, when you reach the top,go right to unlock the shortcutback to the fountain area.

There is atraining dummy, a merchant, and a stargazer in this area.Turn on the Stargazer, steal theVivid Ergo Fragmentfrom in front of the dummy, and speak with the merchant.
We recommend buying the Electric Blitz Abrasive. This item is especially potent against the upcoming boss.
Instead of going up the stairs just yet,head forward through the fairgrounds to the rocky wall and take a left.Here, find the “Introducing the Parade Puppet” readable item amidst the crates.
This item gives you insight into the upcoming boss. With it in your pocket, you are now ready tohead up the stairs to the Parade Master.
In general, the Parade Master is aslow bosswith the ability to lay on someheavy damage.We recommendthe following tipswhen facing him:

When you’re done gathering items, you may now go up the stairs. This will lead you to Hotel Krat.
Before entering the doors, there are two more items to find in the fountain areas:
Dim Ergo Frament
To the left, past the fountains, and in the far corner amidst broken pieces of a dummy puppet.
Hidden Moonstone
To the right, on the other side of the fountain and also on top of a dummy puppet.
Hidden Moonstones are crafting items for weapon upgrades and are extremely valuable.
Once you’ve gathered these items, you will have successfully found all items in the tutorial area of Krat Central Station.Go to the main doorsof Hotel Krat up ahead.
You must lieto enter the building.Select “Human"when prompted. There is no other way in.
