To complete the My Sleeping Giant Fable, you need to solve Glen Nhoam’s riddle, which requires you to awaken The Great Gnome statue. The riddle you’re presented with is vague, so it can be tough to figure out what you’re actually meant to do. You’re specifically presented with the following statement.

There once stood a Gnome, taller than a throne, who lost what was once so dear. Away to his garden, the walls he did harden, secluded alone and in fear. The children came quick, for the Gnome they had kicked had locked himself far from their feet. But due to the walls, his plants he enthralled, had withered and died from no heat. So could such a Sim, hear a simple man’s whim, to waken the beast from within? I’ll send you along, you won’t need a song. Just simply show them compassion…

Wake The Great Gnome Statue in The Sims 4

Your main goal in this quest is to wake The Great Gnome Statue, which is a massive fixture located in the central square region of the Coast of Adhmor. To bring this otherwise ordinary statue to life, you need some Fairy Dust.

There are quite a few different ways to acquire Fairy Dust, including:

  • Being a Fairy and performing actions, or being near a Fairy when they perform actions.
  • Foraging anywhere in Everdew, the Fairy neighborhood in Innisgreen.
  • Shaking a sparkling Fairy home.
  • Asking Fairies for some.
  • Brushing off excess Fairy Dust as a Fairy.

It’s generally easiest to stock up on Fairy Dust by becoming a Fairy yourself and going about your usual activities. Take care of your Sims’ needs and use their magical abilities to spawn Fairy Dust on the ground nearby. Performing the special Fairy WooHoo is an especially great way to spawn lots of Fairy Dust at once.

Once you have the required Fairy Dust, click on The Great Gnome Statue located next to Glen Nhoam’s stall. Select the “Wake The Great Gnome” option to officially bring this imposing statue to life. The gnome will immediately be angry with you, so your next task is to find a way to appease it.

While all regular gnomes require a gift to calm down, this one is a bit different, so simply select the “Soothe The Great Gnome” option to immediately calm them down. As soon as you do, this Fable will be complete, and you’ll receive a Gnome and the special Now You Gnome reward trait. This trait allows you to revisit The Great Gnome statue whenever you like to receive special presents.

If you’re not sure what to do next after finishing this quest, you might work on Not Mushroom for Error or obtaining Magic Beans. To make the most out of this pack, you may also want to learn the best Enchanted by Nature cheats.
