lntroduction
Hello everyone, this guide will have explanations on how to get all achievements by order of appearence, without the end game achievements, due to the fact that they depend on your palythrough. However, l do have advice on that as well, and also l have a logical explaination to them:

For the first playthrough, l suggest to chose Corvo as your first playthrough, and go for the no detection, high chaos and no powers end game:
  • Firstly, what father would want their daughter to have blood on her hands?
  • Secondly, since the events that took place in 'Dishonored' (15 years ago acording to the story) are unknown, we have no information if Corvo killed or not, but as we gather from the lore in Karnaca, we find out that it is highly likely, so it is more logical for him to be the high chaos charecter.
  • Thirdly, Corvo never asked for the outsider's mark and "blessing", he just got Blink and was sent on his way, and now, you have the chanse to use your skill and skill alone, to get the achievement.

    NOTE: this will prevent you from getting the following achievements:

    • Songs of Serkonos
    • Fearless Fall
    • The Lovers
    • Circle of life
    • Occult Carver
    • Fatal Redirect
    • Alternative Approach
    • In Good Conscience
    • The Empress
    • Clean Hands
    So you will achieve 40/50 achievements on the 1st playthrough.

    On the 2nd playthrough, choose Emily, low chaos, no killing.

    The achievements mentioned in this guide are not connected to which charecter you choose to play with, personally, l've had three game slots, that l played simultaniously:
    • 1st - Emily, no kills, no detections, Outsider's mark.
    • 2nd - Corvo, kill everything, no detections, no powers.
    • 3rd - Corvo, Outsider's mark, rest not importent (but it was no kills and no detections).

    NOTE: when l say that something is on a certain floor, l also count the ground floor, so if l say 3rd floor (mission 6 - The Dust District Art Collector progress for example) l mean it is on the 4th floor from street level.
Achievements over several missions
There are several achievements that take place over few missions:
  • Songs of Serkonos, that take place during missions 2,6 & 8 (Edge of the World, The Dust District, The Grand Palace), l will add notes during every mission for those achievements on what is importent to get it.
    • NOTE: there seems to be some difficulties with this achievement, some say it can not be done in high chaos, though it was mentioned here by Warlord that he managed to get it in a high chaos playthrough.
    • l figured that eliminating Mandy Blanchard in 'Edge of the World' could cause it, yet on a 'New Game +' it seemed to be the reason l didn't get the musicians to appear, no matter what.
    • lt may be that after you do get the achievement for the first time, you can't get it again, unless in the same savefile.
    • Those are the best theories for the possible bug in the achievement at the moment, what is certain is that you should not rob ANY black market shops on the playthrough for this achievement.

  • Art Collector, taking place over every mission in the game, there is a youtube playlist where l have all the videos to show the paintings in each mission, l will add a link in every mission.

  • Souvenirs, taking place over every mission in the game.
    • There is a youtube playlist where l have all the videos to show the items in each mission, l will add a link in every mission.

  • Royal Spymaster, taking place abord the 'Dreadful Wale' ship, in missions 2,4,5,6,8 & 9 (Edge of the World, The Clockwork Mansion, The Royal Conservatory, The Dust District, The Grand Palace, Death to the Empress).
    • There is a youtube playlist where l have all the videos to show the journals and audiographs in each mission, l will add a link in every mission.

  • Place of Three Deaths, taking place on missions 4 & 6 (The Clockwork Mansion and The Dust District), videos will show the importent parts in each mission.

  • Familiarity Breeds Contempt, taking place over the first and last missions (A Long Day in Dunwall & Death to the Empress) requireing you to rob the same safe, twice, on diffrent missions, in Dr. Galvani's house (which appears in Dishonored Mission 2&3, where the safe code was 278), the code to the safe is 4-5-1 (it is also the first code for a safe from 'Dishonored' which you find after escaping Coldridge Prison to the sewers with a Sokolovs Elixir and 50 coins worth of loot).
Non-Level Specific Achievements
There are some achievements that are not level specific, meaning you can get them on any mission, as long as you do the requirements, l will be adding them in missions 1, 2, 4 & 5.
another achievement which should be unlocked during mission 8 is:
  • Well Funded. which requires you to get 60% of avalible loot in the game, for me it unlocked during mission 8 (The Grand Palace), simply take everything worth money.
Achievements that will be shown in mission 1 - A Long Day in Dunwall:

  • Rogue


  • Acrobat


  • Sliding Marksman


  • Heartbeat Reaper


  • Alternative Approach


  • Ghostly

Achivements that will be shown in mission 2 - Edge of the World:
  • Heart Whispers


  • The Lovers


  • Black Market Theft. I'll show how to rob every black market shop in every mission, but you need just one robbery for the achievement (missions with black market shops: 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 & 9).


  • Fatal Redirect


  • Occult Carver

Achievement that will be shown in mission 4 - The Clockwork Mansion:
  • Clockwork Collector

Achievement that will be shown in mission 5 - The Royal Conservatory:
  • Circle of Life
Mission 1 - A Long Day in Dunwall
There is a total of 8 achievements you can clear on this mission, l will list them in order of appearence and possibility to unlock with youtube videos l've made, as well as a brief written explaination. Along with those, there will be three more videos for 3 achievements that take place over several missions.
  • Rogue - Kill 20 unaware enemies. l suggest a quick save once you sneak up to the first guard, kill, and quick load, repeat 20 times.

  • Acrobat - Eliminate 10 enemies with drop assasinations. again, after dealing with the first guard, get to a high point shown in the video, quick save and await the 2nd guard, kill him, and quick load, repeat 10 times.
    NOTE: on the video l made a mistake saying that civilians count and non leathal takedowns count as well, they are not. However, l suggest it as practice.


  • Imperial Seal - A secret achievement that you get as you progress in the game. The video shows how to get it (for the sake of fun), as well as the non leathal take down of the target in 'A Long Day in Dunwall' as well as prepearing for the 4th achievement.

  • Sliding Marksman - Score a headshot while sliding. l suggest you knock out a guard/ Ramsey, place them in a convinient possision, after taking the gun from the safe room, then, sprint -> crouch (causing sliding) -> shoot him in the head.

  • Heartbeat Reaper - Take out 6 enemies (or more) in less than 1.5 seconds. l suggest to render 6 guards unconscious after exiting the Dunwall Tower, placing them in a small space, or in a circle, getting back a little after looting a Grenade from the armory and throwing it at them.

  • Freedom of Speech - Save the printer of the Dunwall Courier.
    • Sneak in the building from the front door,
    • Climb up the stairs (if the guard hears you it will not be possible to get the achievement),
    • Sneak in towards the side room on the right,
    • Wait untill the printer calls for help then take out the guard,
    • Best by choking him in order not to cause the printer to panic,
    • If the printer panics, it may block the achievement,
    • You need to speak with the journalist in order to get the achievement.

    • Alternative Approach - Finish a mission without killing anyone. self explenatory.
    • Ghostly - Finish a mission without being detected. Bodies may be detected.
      This video also has commentery on how to get the overall 'Shadow' and 'Clean Hands' achievements.
  • Achievements progressed in 'A Long Day in Dunwall':
    • Souvenirs #1 - There is one item to get in 'A Long Day in Dunwall', Samuel Beachworth's Boat Carving located in the safe room in the Dunwall tower, also, this video shows the location of the forshadowed last (10th) souvenir, which will be found in the same room, but on mission 9.
    • Art Collector #1 -
      There are two paintings, one as you exit the saferoom towards the streets and another on the first building on the left of the street, inside Dr. Galvani's place.
      • 1st painting is seen once you exit the saferoom towards the streets, in the same corridor.
      • 2nd painting is in the first building on the left of the street, inside Dr. Galvani's place. <0:50 on the video>
    • Familiarity Breeds Contempt #1 - You will need to crack the safe in the room where the 2nd painting is located, the code is written on the wood frame under the painting, 4-5-1.
Mission 2 - Edge of the World
ln this mission there are another 8 achievements that can be unlocked, as well as progress in 3 more achievements which will be added in the videos.

l've filmed videos showing how to get the bonecharms, runes and blueprints during the game and will be adding them in order of appearence.
Bonecharms & Rune aboard The Dreadful Wale
  • Bonecharms
    • Bonecharms #1&#2 <0:00 on the video>
  • Rune
    • Rune #1 <0:00 on the video>
  • Prior to reaching the docks, you will find yourself aboard the 'Dreadful Wale' ship, where you need to find several Journals and Audiographs for the 'Royal Spymaster' achievement, this achievement will need more enteries on other missions as well, that will be shown as we progress through the guide.
    as to the rune in this location:
  • Jewel of the South - This is a secret achievement you can't miss.
  • Heart Whispers - using the heart, listen to the secrets of 40 people. Simply point towards the person and click the heart, if you listen to all the civillians near the docks in 'Edge of the World' you will recieve it.
    NOTE: my video has a long, funny commantery, so... for the lols, watch it, if you don't have the time, l will understand =].
  • The Lovers - Use 'Domino' (Emily's power, needing 4 runes to unlock) to connect two people, and cause one to kill the other, and thus, killing themselves. You may do this by choking an NPC and getting a guard to stab said NPC, or to link a guard that will kill a civillian.
  • Stay of Execution - As you proceed, you reach a 'Wall of Light' (From the original Dishonored game) and you see a guard pushing a civillian into the wall of light causing the civillian to burn to a crisp. What you need to do is to prevent the murder, note that the guard will chase the citizen and try to kill him anyway, but it is less importent, l suggest making a quick save and just killing the 3 guards (You may use this chance to link the guard and citizen with domino and get 'The Lovers' achievement).
  • Black Market Theft - Break into the black market. l will show how to hit all Black Markets, but note that if you are going for 'Songs of Serkonos' it is advicible to hit only one market, the one on mission 6, explanation is in the video:
  • Mordib Theft - Steal a body for Mindy Blanchard. Adviced to be done stealthly, explanation in the video:
  • Fatal REdirect - Kill an enemy with their own bullet. You need 3 runes to purches the upgrades needed, 'Reflexes' and 'Superior Deflection', then find a Grand Guard Soldier (Red Uniform) and block 3 shots of theirs casing the bullet to hit them and getting them killed.
  • Occult Carver - lt may actually be the 10th achievement. What you need is 3 Raw Whalebones and a Bonecharm you recieved, also, you need one rune to spend on the crafting bonecharms skill. make a quick save, craft a rune, then quick load, repeat 10 times for the achievement.

  • Achievements progressed in 'Edge of the World':
    • Art Collector #2 - There are four paintings to get in this mission, herew is the video:
      • 1st painting is inside the building directly infron of you, as you get of the skip, on the 3rd floor.
      • 2nd painting is inside the building to the right and up the stairs from the wall of light, on the first floor, next to the Outsider's shrine (use the Heart for help). <1:15 on the video>
      • 3rd painting is in the overseer outpost, on the 2nd floor. <2:09 on the video>
      • 4th painting is in Dr. Hypetia's apartement in the last building on the street of the Addemire Station,on the right, on the 2nd floor. <3:05 on the video>
    • Songs of Serkonos #1 - Here is a video to how to get the first part of 'Songs of Serkonos' achievement, as well as information on the progress of the achievement and what not to do:
      NOTE: this achievement may be bugged in 'New Game +' mode, on mission 6, so it is best you do a seperate save file for this achievement, or play low chaos on the first try.
      Edited Note: This achievement does not pop up in 'New Game +', l've checked. the musical duos will not appear on missions 6 nor 8. lt was very frustrating to find that out...
      Edited Note, Again: lt may be that after getting the achievement the musicians do not appear on new game +, it may be something else, we currently don't know. someone also mentioned Mindy can be taken out, now, l realy don't know what really triggers them to NOT appear, but for me it was those things.
    • Souvenirs #2- There is no item to take in 'Edge of the World'. In order to get the achievement you need to take out (non-leathal/leathal) a Grand Guard Soldier (Red Uniform):
    Schematics, Bonecharms and Runes

Mission 4 - The Clockwork Mansion
There are 3 achievements to gain in this mission. Along with those three, there is progress in 4 more achievements, and also, l will be adding a video of how to rob the black market shop. l will list the achievements by order of progress through the game.
  • Royal Spymaster #2 - You will need to find the following material aboard the 'Dreadful Wale' prior to leaving for the Clockwork Mansion.

After arriving to the Clockwork Mansion (yes, l skipped the part with the black market on porpuse), there are three achievements to gain within the Mansion, one of which is also the 'Souvenirs' progress:
  • Clockwork Collector - You will need to obtain the numbered plaque off of three Clockwork Soldiers. Meaning, you need to disable three of them. The Souvenir is a Numbered Plaque.
    There are a total of 11 clockwork soldiers in mission 4, and 4 more clockwork soldiers on mission 8, in case you will miss this or choose to avoid them.
    In the video l also explain how to stealthly take them out, as well as how to very easily get the achievement as you enter.
  • Silence - Eliminate Kirin Jyndosh without him knowing you were ever there. Sneak toward the heart of the Clockwork Mansion without pulling any levers, being noticed, killing clockwork soldiers or causing alarms (for example, cutting an elevator cord causing it to drop down and crush).
    NOTE: can be unlocked on no-powers mode, l've started a new game in no powers mode after it was brought to my attention thanks to one of the readers of the guide, in order to make a reliable video guide.
  • Labyrinthine Mind - A secret achievement you can't miss, recieved once Anton Sokolov is found.
    Achievements progressed in mission 4 - The Clockwork Mansion:
    • Place of Three Deaths #1 - Kill Paolo three times. The first kill should be scored on mission 4 - The Clockwork Mansion, the other two are on mission 6 - The Dust District.
      NOTE: killing Paolo in mission 4 does not count as a kill, and neither does the first time you kill him in mission 6, only after he resurects and is killed on the 3rd time, so you may have this achievement on a non leathal playthrough: kill him on mission 4, and once on mission 6, quick save and kill again in mission 6 after resurection for the achievement, quick load and render him unconscious.
    • Art Collector #4 - There are 6 painting to get in this mission, 2 at the lower district, one at the top district and 3 in the Clockwork Mansion itself.
      • 1st painting is on the 2nd floor of the building to the right of the stairs you climb, in front of the station.
      • 2nd painting is in the building next to the station, go into the alley, up the stairs to the 2nd floor. <1:00 on the video>
      • 3rd painting is in the upper district, inside the 1st floor of the last building to the left of the railway leading to the Clockwork Mansion, in an infested room. <1:45 on the video>
      • 4th painting is inside the Clockwork Mansion, continue forward to the locked glass door, take the left turn past the wall of light, then enter the room in the right end of the hallway, click the switch and go with the moving floor to the next room counter-clockwise, the painting will be on one of the walls.<3:40 on the video>

Mission 5 - The Royal Conservatory
There are two achievements to be gained in mission 5, as well as progress on two other achievements, along with that l'll add a video showing how to rob the black market.

  • Royal Spymaster - Those are the needed materials in order to progress the achievement on this mission.
  • Circle of Life - You will need 12 Runes for this achievement (suggested 13, for the extended possession and bonecharms that help with that), in order to unlock the needed possession power traits, this achievement requires you to possess all 5 possible creatures:
    • Rat
    • Hound / Grave-Hound
    • Bloodfly
    • Human
    • Fish
    NOTE: for some consoles the Grave-Hound possession is bugged - causing you to die after one second within the body. In my video l show how to still be able to get the achievement, dispite the fact that the bug exists, not causing you to try get the achievement on mission 8.
    • Reach the basement enterence and make a save, not a quick save, a 'menu ->save'.
    • make sure to unlock the door behind the basement enterence, it will be helpful.
    • Kill the Grave-Hound, and pick up it's skull, you will have about 10 seconds before it will resurect.
    • Run back outside, take an immidiate right and go down the stairs,
    • while running, do a quick save (F5), and if failed on the first try, quick load rather than load the save file.
    • once the Grave-Hound is about to resurect, posses a Rat, and stand in a way that the rat, grave-hound and bloodfly are in a line, with the grave-hound in the middle.
    • quickly jump between the rat, inside the grave-hound and immidiately inside the bloodfly (clicking like crazy, literally.).
    • since the tunnel is bugged (for me), l suggest you turn back and fly outside through the gate you opened in step 2, then possess the guard.
    • finally, move the guard close to the water and jump inside the fish.
  • Oracular Echoes - You will need to listen to the voices of the sisters of the oracular order three times. Note that this must be done before doing the non leathal takedown of Breanna Ashworth, due to the fact that it'll temper with the device, also, it will cause all witches near the device to look for you, so it is advicible to dispose of them first, or have a quick save where you don't mind killing/being spotted.
    • Art Collector #5 - Those are the three paintings in mission 5, the royal conservatory:
      • 1st painting is inside the building directly in front of the Royal Conservatory's main entress, where the guard tower and the wall of light are, on the 3rd floor, infested.
      • 2nd painting is inside the Royal Conservatory's basement, behind the shelfs, enter through the door after gaining the key, or climb from an opening on the right side of the room, then jump behind the bookcases, it is on the back wall. <1:10 on the video>
      • 3rd painting is on the wall of the stairway from the 3rd to the 4th floors, inside Ashworth's office. <2:30 on the video>
    • Souvenirs #5 - This video shows the fifth item for the souvenirs achievement:
    • Black Market Theft #3 - This video shows how to rob the black market shop in mission 5:

  • Royal Spymaster - Firstly, aboard the 'Dreadful Wale' here are the materials needed in order to progress in the achievement:

    You can't get all 4 achievements in one run without savefiles: you must choose between two groups, and bring the leader of the opposite group (dead or unconscious) to the head-quarters of the other group.

    Eureka - For this achievements you need to crack a logical riddle without clues, which may take up to 3 hours for the random combo you get, and it is simmilar to Einstein's riddle[udel.edu], if you'd like to unlock the achievement easily, have a savefile once you encounter Meagen soon after the start of the mission, and after recieving the solution in one of the three possible ways - write it down on a piece of paper/take a picture of it, load the save file, and use the solution to get the achievement. The three ways include two of the level achievements which will be listed below, in my video of the solution, l will show the third option, it will cause you to miss both achievements, but it is the non-leathal way of the mission to dispose of both targets.
    • Faithful to the Abbey - fFor this achievement you will need to take out Paolo, of the Howlers gang, and bring his body to the Overseer's outpost, and hand him in to Vice-Overseer Byrne, he will then give you a note containing the solution for the Jyndosh Lock.
    • Howlers 'til the End - For this achievement you will need to take out Vice-Overseer Byrne, and bring his body to Paolo, he will then give you a note containing the solution for the Jyndosh Lock.
    • The third option: break into the overseer's outpost, and steal a key, and a note from a desk next to where Vice-Overseer Byrne is, then, break into the Howlers hideout, on the first floor, and unlock the door to Durante's office, in which there is the solution written on a note on the table. on the same table there is a note explaining how to take out both Paolo and Byrne Non-Leathaly. shown in the 'Souvenirs' #6 video.

    Achievements progressed or completed in 'The Dust District':
    • Place of Three Deaths #2 - This achievement can be unlocked if you have killed Paolo in mission 4 (The Clockwork Mansion). If you have killed him once then, you will need to kill him teice more, after the first kill he will be resurected near an Outsiders shrine on the third floor of the howler's hideout. Then he needs to be killed a third time. If going for the non-leathal playthrough, know that the first kill in mission 6 does not count as a kill, so l suggest to knock him out (stun mine near the shrine is best) quick save, kill him to unlock the achievement, and quick load.
    • Souvenirs #6 - This is the only mission in which there are two collectibles:
      • Picture of Maegen Foster next to The 'Dreadful Wale' - Found in the Silverlight Studio - the door is locked, but since you are an intruder, you get get in-through-the window, just break the glass, enter stealth mode, and get in. located in the Neutral zone between the Howlers and the Overseers, on the far left side of the district.
      • Blade Verbena Trophy - found in the second floor of the house of Corvo Attano, it is on the left of the Overseer Outpost, at the end of the street. <1:15 on the video>
    • Art Collector #6 - There are 3 paintings to be found in this mission, 2 at the Howler's hideout, and one on the 3rd floor of the Overseer's Outpost:
      • 1st painting is located inside the Howlers territory, on the 2nd floor of the inside Paolo's office,
      • 2nd painting is on the same floor, to the right of the 1st painting, next to the Outsider's shrine. <1:10 on the video>
      • 3rd painting is on the 3rd floor of the Overseer's Outpost, above Vice-Overseer Byrne's office. <1:25 on the video>
    • Songs of Serkonos #2 - in this mission you can find the second musical duo, That is only if you havn't eliminated Mindy Blanchard in mission 2 'Edge of the World'. another importent thing is to know that for some reason (and l might be wrong here) this musical duo, on mission 6, does not appear in New Game +, so do it on a seperate save.
      • After you enter the district, you will find a barred door on your left, a few meters from the Howler's blockade.
      • Break the door and get to the second floor, note there is a Rune on the first floor.
      • Climb out of the window that you see as you get up the stairs to the second floor.
      • Climb the pipes into a window on the third floor of the opposite building.
      • Get theough the apartement, note there are two Nest-Keepers, and four bloodfly hives.
      • Exit to the balcony, and climb to the fourth floor of the Howler's hideout.
      • Eliminate the Howler in the corner of the room, and get out the window on the opposite side.
      • The musical duo is on the ground floor, you can stay on the fourth floor and listen to them using the zoom on your spyglass/Corvo's mask.

Mission 8 - The Grand Palace
There are two achievements to be unlocked during this mission, as well as progress in four more achievements, and one that should unlock during this level, but might not. l will also add a video explaining how to rob the black market shop on this mission.
  • Royal Spymaster #4 - ln the following video you will find all the materials needed to progress the achievement on mission 8:
  • Songs of Serkonos #3 - On this mission is the third and last musical duo, if you have followed the advice given in the former videos, and robbed only one Black Market shop (or none at all), in front of the Black Market shop in mission 8, there will be the musical duo, along with some citizens listening. advice on how to get there fast:
    • Get from the alley where you see the first guards,
    • To the stairway, and towards the big tree,
    • Into the building on the other side of the street at the end of it,
    • Up the stairs to the 1st floor, break the wood blocking the way and turn right,
    • Carefully disarm the tripwire with the 2 incindiary bolt traps,
    • Reach the entrence to the shop and listen to the duo untill they finish a song,
    • The achievement should unlock as you go away, for me it was after the song ended and l've entered the Black Market shop.
  • Well Funded - This achievement should unlock during this mission, for it you need to gather 60% of all avalible loot in the game.
  • Down With the Duke - A secret achievement, it will be unlocked once the Duke is eliminated, leathaly, or not. My video will show the non leathal way.
    • Spirit Thief - A secret achievement, it will be unlocked once you have stolen the spirit of Delilah from Duke Abele's vault.
    • Souvenirs #8 - In the same vault where Delilah's spirit is, there is the collectible item for mission 8, The Grand Palace. both will be shown in shown on the video:
  • Art Collector #8 - There are three paintings to get in The Grand Palace, one in the street before reaching the palace, and two within the palace, this video will show you how to get them:

    • 2nd painting is inside the palace on the 2nd floor, on the east wing of the palace, to the right of the piano. <3:00 on the video>

    NOTE:if you are going for the 'Clean Hands' achievement, you will need to take out the two guards on the first floor of the building next to the watch tower before you reach the black market, or else the two workers near the boat will be killed, counting towards your kill ratio.

Mission 9 - Death to the Empress
There are seven achievements to be gained in this mission, regardless of the end game achievements that are listed in the following section.
Scematics & Bonecharms aboard The Dreadful Wale
  • Schematics
    • Dual-Layered Galvani Weave <0:00 on the video>
  • Bonecharms
    • Bonecharms #1&#2 <0:00 on the video>
  • Years Ago, Another Time - For this achievement you will need to play low chaos, else she will not share the story with you, it tells of her 'connection' to the main villian of the Knife of Dunwall DLC of the original Dishonored. Spoilers in the video:
    NOTE:this achievement can be unlocked in high chaos, if you pickpocket Meagen's Key and read her journal in her cabin, which you will do anyway for the 'Royal Spymaster' achievement. but you will not hear the story from her. l'd like to thank Kana (from the comments) who have helped me on several point in the guide proving some achievements can be unlocked in high chaos and no powers mode. l am in your debt.
  • Royal Spymaster #5 - This is the last part of the 'Royal Spymaster' achievement, you will need to pickpocket Maegen in order to get her key, and the last journal as well as the last audiograph in her room, priorly locked.
  • Familiarity Breeds Contempt #2 - For this achievement you will need to return to Dr. Galvani's apartement, next to the entrence to the Dunwall Tower, and rob his safe once again, the code is still 4-5-1, somewhat insulting in my oppinion...
  • Gazebo - For this achievement you will need to get inside the courtyard of the Dunwall Tower, and reach the location of the Tombstone of Empress Jessamine, Emily's mother, and Corvo's significant other (no idea if they were ever married), after reaching it you will have the 'Inspect' option, click it and the achievement will unlock.
  • Art Collector #9 - There is only one painting left, a painting by Delilah of Corvo Attano, it is located below the Gazebo, at the edge of the abyss, guarded by gravehoundes. Best to destroy those with the crossbow from a distance first.
  • Souvenirs #9 - The final collectible for the souvenirs achievement is Emily's doll - Mrs. Pilsen, (which is the one from the Dunwall City Trials DLC for the original Dishonored Achievement - 'Mrs. Pilsen's Remorse') located in the safe room in Dunwall Tower, inside the toilet.
  • The Greatest Gift - This is the final achievement in order of appearence, it is unlocked once you save Emily if playing as Corvo, or Corvo, if you play as Emily. No video, because l don't want to spoil it for you =]
  • Black Market Theft - This is the final black market, l suggest you first find and upgrade the last blueprints, located in Dr. Galvani's apartement and then rob it, the key to the back door of the basement is found near the Dunwall Courier offices, near the back door, behind the bottles.

Ending Achievements
There are seven End-Game achievements:
  • The Empress - Finish the game with Emily Kaldwin.
  • The Royal Protector - Finish the game with Corvo Attano.
  • Flesh and Steel - Finish the game without supernatural powers. in order to get this achievement, on your first encounter with The Outsider, in mission two, aboard the 'Dreadful Wale' you need to 'Reject the Outsider's Gift', and later on, finish the game.
  • Shadow - Finish the game without being detected even once.
  • Empire in Chaos - Finish the game in high chaos. This means you have killed many enemies and citizens.

    NOTE: you can get the Shadow achievement along with the high chaos achievement, but at the moment, if you play as corvo, there is somewhat of a bug: if you have put the currupt rune on the throne in order to have the Non-Leathal takedown of Delilah - saving Emily will cause the game to freeze (at least on PC, and not just mine, l've checked) so l would suggest you do not put the currupt rune from the start, just, kill her and be done with it, unless you are going for the non-leathal.

  • In Good Conscience - Finish the game in low chaos. this means to go non-leathal, or even to simply avoid as many enemies as possible.
  • Clean Hands - Finish the game without killing anyone: there are few exceptions of kills that do not effect this achievement:
    • Hounds and Grave-Hounds
    • Paolo, in 'The Clockwork Mansion' (mission 4)
    • Clockwork Soldiers
    • Paolo, the first time you kill him in 'The Dust District' (mission 6)
    • Delilah's Dopplegangers, during the final boss fight (mission 9)
    Also importent to know are those things:
    lf an unconscious body is killed it counts as your kill, this may happen by the following ways:
    • lf there are 5 rats or more near an unconscious body, they will devour it, and it will count as your kill - best to hide bodies on high grounds.
    • lf there is a Red-Belly Bloodfly near an unconscious body, it will lay eggs in it causing death, that counts as your kill - best to hide bodies away from bloodfly nests and away from places where you can hear bloodfly buzzing.
    • There is an explosion near it (whale-oil tanks, granades, etc.)
    • If the body falles into a fire and gets burned.
    • lf the body falls in water and drowns.
    • lf a body falls from height and is killed.

hey Sasha, great guide! Update to the achievement "Silence". I just did it, used levers, elevators, killed clockwork soldiers, and got the achievement. One thing was important, no detection from anybody.
Kamendere 24 Nov, 2023 @ 1:33am 
Awesome guide, thank you for the effort you put into it!

Easily the best dishonored 2 guide. While it's true that maybe the videos would've been more functional without so much talking on the beginning, it has it's charm, and if you are in a rush you can always skip that intro and jump straight to the part you need. Thanks a lot.

Sir Lunchalot 28 Jul, 2021 @ 12:59pm 
I just finished my 100% playthrough with your guide, very helpful! Exactly what I was looking for
other guides just had all achievements at once, but being able to see which achievement has to be done in which mission was a tremendous help!

thanks!
