This sounds pretty cool! I may have to give it a try sometime, when I revert back to a fresh install. Thanks to Etem for showing me that this exists :)
Hi! So basically, each quest has multiple triggers for completion. For example, in Trader Escort, you need to 1) start the quest in Darkwood Entrance, and 2) End the quest in Barrow Fields without teleporting (since the traders cannot teleport with you). All maps in between can be skipped.
For Hobbe Cave, you'd need to 1) Start the quest with Granny in Rose Cottage, 2) Enter Hobbe Cave Entrance, 3) Enter Focus Chamber to pick up the boy, and 4) Return to Rose Cottage with the boy without teleporting.
I'm making a list of all of these key quest points and some warnings, but it's a collaboration with a friend still in progress.
Lastly, going into Archon's Folly will not trigger the final boss because you are not yet on the quest "The Final Battle". You'd need to do all gold quests up until that point to get the quest. Let me know if you have any other questions!
What about Demon Doors? As an example, could you walk from somewhere in greatwood and end up inside the dark wood demon door and just pick up the dark Wizard robes without actually completing that Demon Door’s combat test first?
Yes exactly. It also works the opposite way; sometimes you'll need to complete a Demon Door's challenge to get somewhere important, e.g. Prison Path might be locked behind the Rose Cottage Demon Door, so you'd need to give the Demon Door a gift to be able to complete Rescue the Archaeologist.
I'm looking into an optional fix for this in a future update where you'll be able to clip through the door (look up "Fable summon clipping" if you're not familiar with it) to get through the door without completing the challenge. I'd add this because some doors are an absolute pain and can be impossible to complete with maps randomized. A good example is the Grey House Demon Door, which requires you to marry Lady Grey. It'd require completing that whole quest line, which you can lock yourself out of easily if you do the wrong thing in the Grey House Cellar.

Would the final boss just automatically trigger if I go into Archon’s Folly?
