How to unlock the Novice Librarian achievement in The Wolf Among Us - Definitive Guide

There will be one missing Fable you have to go back and get in the last chapter. It involves the choices of ripping off Grens arm and choosing not to. Also in chapter 2 make sure to grab the Bluebeard file off your desk in your apartment before you talk to the pig. This is a missable Fable.

After the credits rolled I went to 'Play Game' and chose to 'Rewind' to the final chapter of Episode 1. You can choose a separate save file as to not disrupt your own story line and choices. You'll have to replay the last section which takes place in the bar. If you missed the blackbeard file you can do the same thing and rewind to chapter 2 selecting a different save file.

You'll need to make a decision when fighting Gren. At the end you can either choose to walk away or to rip his arm off. The second time through I ripped his arm off and unlocked the final book entry. The achievement unlocked shortly after I made the second choice, and I was able to quit out right there.

If you walk away you unlock bigbys mercy; if you rip grens arm off you get bigbys vengeance.

@Satisvy, not being specific? This is the most specific you can be, these 2 things are the only 2 things you have to do...

Just like in the Xbox 360 version, you can quit and reload immediately upon making a choice during the bar fight, make the other choice, and get both books unlocked without a replay.

The one on Bluebeard is also missable. It's not mandatory to view this book while playing through the chapters.

Can someone post a step-by-step way to do this? Any time I choose to rewind it takes me to the start of the whole episode.

I can't believe it took an entire comment tree along with not the solution writer simply not accepting feedback before finally someone (rumbles) stated which decision unlocked which Fable. Like "MakeMeACoffee" said, I too completed my playthrough months ago and cannot remember which one I chose. Specifics would have been helpful - please input them into the guide. Thank you.

Just a tip for everyone starting to read these solutions for the fable entries. I backtracked when I ended the game. Missed an entry in every chapter. Doing it backwards let's you choose the episode (I only had 1 save file). All the progress after that chapter will be gone. Saves you a lot of time not having to do chapters/episodes again just for 1-2 entries.

Just a note for anyone who was, like me, initially confused on how EXACTLY to replay a chapter without affecting the decisions in your main playthrough:

1) On the main menu, select 'Save Files'.
2) Select whichever save file on which you've already played the relevant chapter.
3) Select 'Play'.
4) The menu will now let you scroll through every episode you've already played, by individual chapter. Select the chapter you want to replay, and press A for Rewind. At this point, the game will prompt you to choose a save file to copy the data to. Press A for OK, and you can THEN scroll through the available save files, and choose one other than your main file.

I know the above is probably obvious to most people, but I was having trouble figuring out the way the save files work at first, so maybe this will help someone out there. Thanks for the guide Matt DB87, it definitely helped me mop up the Fable entries I'd missed.

I was used to newer TellTale games where you can copy files from the file selection screen. Then I remember when I played The Walking Dead and wanted to check out the other endings, I rewinded and it asked me to choose a file. I wasn't file if worked the same way in The Wolf Among Us, and didn't want to risk loosing my progress. So I created a new file, skiped to episode 5 then tried to rewind and in fact it asked me to select a file. From then I just did the same with my "real" save.

Ok let's all calm down. As a solution, this doesn't give you all the relevant information. That's all I'm saying; it could be improved.

In the beginning if you have already played this on your first playthrough, keep going left until you reach Chapter 1 episode 4. In the bottom menu, says rewind. Click on rewind and you will be in a new pop up screen. Here you can select your original save file or 3 other file save options without starting over from the beginning.
Ps: if you're having trouble remembering what choices you had made, go into chapter 1, and pause the game. In the pause screen, there is a select screen called 'Book of Fables' go into the 'book of fables' screen; and see all the wonderful fables you have unlocked. If there is a padlock in episode 1, then you have to go back to whichever chapter to unlock this achievement. This guide is for players who had unlocked all their fables during their first playthrough and not meant to be a guide for every single fable entry.

All of the fables in episode one are story related except from three.

The first miss-able fable is in Bigby's apartment when you get there you will find a file for Bluebeard on the table, if you read it you will get a fable that could be missed by a lot of people.

The second and third miss-able fables is found right at the end of the episode when you fight against Gren. When you get the option to rip his arm off or not, if you choose to rip it off you get one fable if you choose to leave it you get the other. I recommend choosing the one you don't want to do first then pause and quit straight after the action happened, when you re load the game it will start the game just before you get to choose again letting you choose the option you actually wanted to take and still get the achievement!

I have included a guide to the location of all the fables below if you want any help *warning spoilers may be included in the video*

In every chapter of the Wolf Among Us there are trophies for unlocking all the fables, there are missable ones that you will need to rewind the chapter in order to obtain.

Missable Fable Location:

To get the final entry you simply need to rewind to the last part of the final “Chapter 6: A Light Snowfall” to replay it, and either:
1) Choose “Wolf’s Rage” to rip off Grendel’s arm, or
2) Instead choose “Wolf’s Mercy” to leave it and walk away.

Just do the opposite to what you did the first time around.

The only "missable" one is Gren. You will get one for not ripping his arm off and one for doing so. Here is a video to help:

~~MISSABLE achievement!~~
In the order you run into them through the game NOT how they are listed in the extras category.

Chapter 1:

  • Bigby Wolf unlocks at the very beginning of the game.
  • Fabletown unlocks at the very beginning of the game.
  • Mr. Toad unlocks during your original conversation with Mr. Toad.
  • Glamours unlocks during your original conversation with Mr. Toad.
  • The Farm unlocks during your original conversation with Mr. Toad.
  • The Woodsman unlocks after your fight with the Woodsman.

 

Chapter 2:

 

  • Beauty unlocks during your conversation with Beauty outside of the apartments.
  • Beast unlocks during your conversation with Beast at the elevator.
  • Bluebeard unlocks IF AND ONLY IF you open up the file in Bigby's desk in his apartment. MISSABLE, although you will get it if you did not read the file in the business office during chapter 3.
  • Colin unlocks during your conversation with Colin the pig.
  • Snow White unlocks during your conversation with Colin the pig about Snow.
  • Mundies unlocks outside when Snow takes you to see the woman's head on the front steps.

 

Chapter 3:

 

  • Bluebeard unlocks if you did not read the file in Bigby's room during chapter 2, and if and only if either you suggest it is Bluebeard who committed the crime, or allow Snow to test her theory.
  • Ichabod Crane unlocks during your conversation with snow following that of Crane's.
  • Bufkin unlocks after Snow sends Bufkin to go retrieve the first three Fable books.

 

Chapter 5:

 

  • The Tweedles unlocks after your little run in with them following either Mr. Toad's apartment or Prince Lawrence's whichever comes first.
  • Prince Lawrence unlocks after you enter his apartment.

Chapter 6:

  • Holly unlocks in the Trip Trap bar after talking to the bartender.
  • Grendel unlocks after either talking to, or confronting the man at the bar/Grendel.
  • Bigby's Mercy unlocks after sparing Grendel a lost arm. (Only 1 can be done in a playthrough).
  • Bigby's Vengeance unlocks after ripping off Grendel's arm. (Only 1 can be done in a playthrough).



After completing the very last chapter and either tearing off Gren's arm or walking away you'll only be presented with one of the two books. After the credits are done simply rewind the last chapter, place the save in an empty space, and do the opposite action than what you did originally. You can quit out as soon as the achievement pops after the Gren fight.

*Don't forget to grab the Bluebeard file on the desk in your apartment.

This is not my solution

There are two missable entries in this episode, the first is blue-beards file which you can get when you first enter Bigbys apartment, go over to the table and examine the file to unlock it.

the second is following the bar fight with gren, one is unlocked for tearing his arm off and the other for not doing so, now this should require you to do one and then rewind and replay the entire chapter to get the other, however this can be mitigated by doing one and once it says "New fable entry unlocked" quickly save and quit, load back in and it should load back during the end of the fight and you can make the other choice without having to redo the chapter, saving you around 10 minutes.
