Learn how to achieve three stars in Dishonored's Mystery Foe challenge. Discover tips for finding clues, identifying your target, and completing the challenge quickly.
Alright, let's talk about the 'Mystery Foe' challenge in Dishonored's Dunwall City Trials. This one can be a bit tricky, but with the right approach, you'll nail those three stars in no time. The main goal here is to find three clues to identify your target and then take them out, all while keeping the clock under two minutes.
- 1Initial Area: When you start, you'll have access to your basic powers: Dark Vision and Blink. These are going to be your best friends for navigating the map and finding those clues efficiently.
- 2Finding Clues: The layout of the clues is randomized each time you play, so don't get discouraged if you need a few restarts to get a favorable clue placement. A great starting spot for a clue is often in the first room you can access to the left of your starting point. Keep an eye out for these clues to narrow down your target.
- 3Target Identification: The guards patrolling the perimeter are never your target, so you can ignore them. If a clue describes your target as male, wearing a helmet and blue clothes, look for the guard walking around in the main, larger room. If the clue mentions a guard without a helmet located in one of the side rooms, that's your guy. Pay close attention to these details!
- 4Expert Mode Twist: The 'Expert' version adds a layer of complexity. Instead of clues being out in the open, you'll need to pickpocket people to find them. It's possible the clue you need will be on your actual target. The core objective remains the same: be quick and stealthy. Gathering these pickpocketed clues is the main difference.
- The key to getting three stars is speed and efficiency. Use Blink to cover ground quickly and Dark Vision to spot clues and potential targets without alerting anyone.
- Don't waste time engaging with the regular guards; they are not your target. Focus solely on gathering the necessary clues.
- Be prepared to restart a few times. The random clue placement means some runs will be much easier than others. Learning the map layout will help you adapt faster.
- In Expert mode, practice your pickpocketing. Getting the clue from the right person without being detected is crucial.
Achieving three stars on this challenge will grant you bragging rights and a sense of accomplishment. While there isn't a specific in-game item reward mentioned, mastering these challenges is part of the overall Dunwall City Trials experience.
