How to unlock the I Did This For A Cheevo achievement in Fable Anniversary - Definitive Guide

The achievement is pretty self explanatory outside of where to find everything needed.


Here is what you'll need and where to find it:

1. Dress - There are several pieces to this full suit that you'll need. I personally had the upper dress, lower dress, and dress gloves. All of which can be bought from the stores in South Bowerstone, North Bowerstone, and Oakvale. Not too difficult to find. Go into your equipment and equip the full suit.

2. Beard - Go into the Stylist shop in South Bowerstone and purchase any beard that covers your chin. I believe the mutton chops don't count but I used the normal beard and it worked fine. Any of the bushy beards should also work.

3. Redhead Wig - This can be found in the Darkwood Bordello. The passage is in Darkwood Lake. Hire the services of one of the prostitutes to get access to the upstairs area of the brothel. After you're done doing your business, search the cabinet in the back of the room for the wig.

4. Crossbow - Easily found by the time you are able to do this. You should have one already in your equipment but, if not, they are purchasable in Oakvale, South Bowerstone, Knothole Glade... anywhere with a blacksmith, basically. It doesn't have to be any kind of special crossbow -- any of them will work.


Now that you have everything, teleport into any area that has bandits. I teleported into Greatwood. Equip the full dress and the red head wig (this is found in your headgear) and find some bandits. Click the left thumbstick in to zoom, again for 2x zoom and aim for the head. Hold Y for a little to ensure the arrow will the knock their head off.

Achievement unlocked. You can also use a Slow Time spell to get it lined up if you're having trouble.


*You can also obtain this by shooting a civilian if you really want to make this easy.

**Additionally, this achievement may be missable if you are getting close to the end of the game. See the spoiler for the info but it will reveal a major plot point so be fore warned.

Great solution I would just like to add that you can kill a civilian, this way the target isn't moving or rushing at you :)

You can also buy the red head wig in Snowspire village, but that one did not work for me. It seems it must be the one from the bordello.

I'd also like to add that the targets head needs to fly off for this to count, took a short while to figure this out after the local traders would just die instead of decapitate

Thanks SR1 Dan. I couldn't get the achievement until I did a power shot and blew the head off.

+1 for the post, great guide. spent ages trying to get this on some of the undead around the grey house area, but the achievement didn't pop at all. walked to barrow fields and made a hard save before shooting a civilian's head clean off. i know you mentioned briefly to knock their head clean off, but i just wanted to stress that this is crucial, i spent so long thinking there was something wrong with my dress cry

Hi, can anybody explain how to decapitate? I have oak crossbow, red wig from bordello, Upper, Lower Dress and Dress gloves, but after killing 30 peoples nothing, Tried to decapitate them, but no luck at all. I even tried to pull string for a longer period around 30 seconds + and nothing changed no head fly off.

EDIT: For me doesn´t work at all on civilians... first try on bandit.

I messed up this achievement (with jacks mask) and i had to restart.
If you start a new game, you "only" need 1 hour to be able to earn the achievement.
Make sure to skip all cutscenes and don't finish silver (side)quests.

The dress is cheap and i was able to buy it in south bowerstone immediately.

If you want the Redhead Wig, you have to complete the darkwood escort quest first and visit oakvale... otherwise the bordello is closed! It's the quest after killing the bees and protecting/attacking the farm.

Now visit the bordello, grab the wig and teleport to oakvale. Buy a beard, save and go for the headshot. I'm not if it helps, but i bought a better crossbow (nearly 4.000 gold) at the guild, because i thought more attack power could be helpful. I also invested 2 points in the aiming skill... but maybe these 2 steps are unnessary.

Video-guide of Fable Anniversary to get the achievement I Did This For A Cheevo. For this achievement you'll have to do:

1. - Buy the complete dress, for example at South Bowerstone store, it is formed of a top, a bottom and gloves.
2. - Put on a beard in the stylist, without moustache. The normal beard will be fine.
3. - Get a redheaded wig. For this sleep with a girl at the brothel and then go to the wardrove and take it.
4. - Put on everything said and equip the crossbow (any will work, but it's better if it's powerfull) and choose any villager (anything with head will do).

To get the achievement the shoot will have to take off the head, if it does the achievement will pop.In this video I talk in Spanish but I can be understood just watching it.

I hope it's usefull, and If anyone vote negative I'd like to know the reason so I can improve in my future videos.

You can buy a dress in Southern Glushville, a wig in Northern. You will probably already have a crossbow and a beard. We just put it all on ourselves and shoot in the head, the easiest way is for a badit.

A red wig can be obtained by completing a quest in the location The Darkwood Bordello. At the entrance to the location, a lady will approach you and offer to help her deal with the owner of the brothel. After you give the owner of the brothel a drink, you will escort him to the apartment. In the morning, search the chest of drawers next to him bed, there will be a red wig.

Especially for guys, I want to add that the dress consists of 3 parts: top, bottom and gloves. No shoes. Sold in Oak Valley or South Bowerland.

To get this achievement you will need a dress and a complete set, you can buy it both in Southern and Northern Bushville, I bought it in Northern, and you can also buy a red wig from a merchant there. The second way to get a wig is to do a small quest in a brothel in The Darkwood Bordello location, as soon as you arrive there, the local lady will ask you to get rid of the brothel keeper by finding papers for this brothel. So we go into the house and there will be a bald man standing near the bar, this is the head of the brothel, in fact, to get him drunk, we buy 5-6 beers from the bartender and give them back, then we go up to the room with him, he will tell you where the papers are, and at the far end of the room there will be boxes. That's where we get the wig. A crossbow, which you can buy in the guild of heroes from the quartermaster.
