Fable: The Journey Achievements List Tries to Be Clever

While Fable: The Journey might be an on-rails Kinect game, that hasn't stopped Lionhead from putting a lot of effort into naming the game's Achievements list.

Courtesy of HardcoreGamer, the way to get them are the usual "hit X milestone," or "upgrade X ability." Those aren't really anything new, what's sure to catch your eyes are Achievements that allude to other blockbuster games and even other forms of entertaintment.

There's "Medal Gear Solid," which obviously allude to Kojima's Metal Gear Solid franchise, there's another one pertaining to your journey and it's called "Don't Stop Believing" — again, another nod to the band Journey and their song.

Give the whole list a read below, but be forewarned, there are spoilers within.

Return of the Black Knight

You dismantled a hollow man. It’s just a (rotting) flesh-wound!

 

Trollololol

You emerged unscathed from a troll fight. Problem?

 

Pest Control

Ten stingers in five seconds. How long for the other 600,000?

 

B-B-Q

Roast chicken is the best smell in the world. Unless you’re a chicken.

 

Great Balls of Fire

You killed three enemies with one Fireball. Goodness gracious.

 

Boom-erang

You killed a hobbe with his own bomb. ‘Tis the sport to have the enginer hoist with his own petar

 

Shardly a Problem

You cast Shards with utmost precision. For your next trick, spear an apple off Seren’s head.

 

Five Billion Candle Power

You burned the Corruption from three creatures with one spell. Time to break out the factor 40.

 

Mind Your Manas

You dished out a veritable smorgasbord of spell power. Delicious.

 

Toasty

Burning through the sky at 200 degrees. That’s why they call him Mr. Pushed-in-the-Lava.

 

Bam!

There it is! You killed ten creatures with explosive barrels.

 

Flail

A good driver keeps their hands on the reins at all times, apart from when they’re killing things.

Then I took an arrow to the horse. She’s all better now, though.

 

Happy Camper

Saved by the Sun

You escaped the Devourer… for now.

 

In the Palm of Your Hand

The power of the gauntlets is now yours, but so is their burden.

Off the Menu

The Devourer has been defeated, and Fergus is at rest. There’s no turning back now, Hero.

 

Going Underground

Don’t Stop Believing

You have completed your Journey. The Spire is no more, and a new dawn awaits Albion.

 

Alas, Poor Nodsy!

You laid to rest the spirits of a platoon of morons. They’re another dimension’s problem now.

The Temptress is no more. Or was it all just a dream?
