Part 1

Begin your journey in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider! This guide covers the first mission, 'One Last Fight,' helping you navigate the initial steps and master the controls.

Alright, let's dive into Dishonored: Death of the Outsider! This is your starting point, where we'll get you acquainted with the controls and the very first steps of Billie Lurk's mission. Think of this as getting your bearings before the real chaos begins.

The controls are pretty much what you'd expect if you've played Dishonored 2, so if you're familiar with that, you're already ahead of the game. We'll be using the default 'Preset A' controls here, but remember you can always tweak them in the options if something doesn't feel right.

Here's a quick rundown of the essential buttons:

Now, let's talk about how you'll actually deal with folks. You've got a few ways to go about it:

• Combat Kill: When you're in a straight-up fight, use R2 to swing your sword and R1 to block. If you time a block or a charged R2 thrust just right, you'll stagger your opponent, opening them up for a finishing move. Keep an eye out, as major targets often have their own special animations for this.
• Assassination: The classic stealth takedown. Creep up behind an unaware enemy and hit R2 to slit their throat. You can then immediately pick up the body to move it out of sight – handy for avoiding noise if they fall.
• Drop Assassination: Get above your target, leap down, and press R2 as you get close. You'll silently take them out mid-air. Just a heads-up: Clockwork Soldiers are only instantly killed this way if you've already removed their head armor.
• Sliding Kill: If you're running towards an enemy, you can slide into them and perform a quick kill. It's a bit more aggressive but can be useful in a pinch.

We'll get into the actual missions soon, starting with 'One Last Fight,' but getting comfortable with these controls is your first real objective. Don't be afraid to experiment a little in safe areas to see how everything feels!
