Dishonored 2 and DLC, death of the Outsider

Takes your protagonist, Corvo Attano or Emily Kaldwin, to the coastal city of Karnaca where the choices you make will have significant impact on the world.

If you played the first Dishonored, why not play as Emily during your first playthrough of Dishonored 2? She’s the new playable character and has a completely different suite of supernatural abilities to Corvo.

• Always look around for alternate pathways: side alleys, back doors, unlocked windows, overhead balconies, rooftops, tunnels (for rats), or waterducts (for fish).
• Play through our little Tutorial to get a feel for the mechanics. It also sets up the fiction a bit.
• Note that for almost all the combat moves, we’ve added nonlethal versions. (Combat choke, drop attack, slide takedown, et al.) You can play the entire game without killing.
• Change difficulty whenever you want. If you’re an advanced player or really into stealth, play on Hard.
• Give the stealth approach a shot. Sneaking, playing nonlethally, or even ghosting the missions adds even more tension and drama to situations.
• Our stealth model is mostly based on enemy view cones and occlusion. Darkness only matters at a distance, making you more hidden. Up close, enemy facing and field of view matters most. (Stay behind them or behind something that blocks their line of sight.)
• Don’t forget to lean! If your body is behind something like a wall, you can lean out to peek ahead.
• Look up! Go vertical when you can, along ledges, rooftops, pipes, etc. You can often sneak past an encounter that way or find an alternate entry or path.
• Unless you’re trying to get a Ghost Achievement for never being detected, resist the temptation to immediately load a save if you get busted while playing stealth. Play it out and see what happens.
• Distract enemies with sound by throwing a bottle or setting an alarm clock.
