Trophies & Achievements

Welcome, master assassin, to the definitive guide for unlocking every Trophy and Achievement in Dishonored. Whether you're a stealth purist aiming for a ghost run or a chaotic force seeking every lethal takedown, this section will illuminate the path to 100% completion. We've broken down each challenge with actionable steps, precise locations, and optimal strategies to ensure no achievement eludes your grasp.

General Completion Achievements

These achievements are typically unlocked through natural progression or by completing the game under specific conditions. Plan your playthroughs carefully to minimize repetition.

Ghost

  • Description: Complete a mission without being detected.
  • Strategy: This is best attempted on earlier missions like "High Overseer Campbell" or "House of Pleasure." Focus on using Blink (Level 1 is sufficient) to traverse rooftops and avoid patrols. Always observe enemy patterns before moving. Utilize non-lethal takedowns (chokes) and hide bodies in dark corners or dumpsters. Avoid breaking line of sight with enemies, even if they don't go into full alert.
  • Recommended Powers: Blink (Level 1), Dark Vision (Level 1).
  • Key Items: Sleep Darts, Choke Dust Grenades.

Shadow

  • Description: Complete the game without being detected.
  • Strategy: This is the ultimate stealth challenge. You must complete every single mission without raising a single alert. This means no "Detected" status, no "Suspicious" status that escalates, and no bodies found that lead to an alert. Save frequently! If you are detected, reload your last save immediately. This will likely require multiple playthroughs to master patrol routes and optimal paths.
  • Recommended Powers: Blink (Level 2 for greater range), Dark Vision (Level 2 for enemy cones of vision), Bend Time (Level 2 for critical moments).
  • Key Items: Sleep Darts, Choke Dust Grenades.

Clean Hands

  • Description: Complete the game without killing anyone.
  • Strategy: This achievement requires a non-lethal approach for the entire game, including all main targets. For main targets, you must always choose the non-lethal elimination option. For all other enemies, use chokeholds, sleep darts, or simply avoid them. Ensure no one dies accidentally (e.g., falling after being knocked out, or drowning). Hide all unconscious bodies to prevent them from being found and potentially causing an alert.
  • Recommended Powers: Blink, Dark Vision, Bend Time.
  • Key Items: Sleep Darts, Choke Dust Grenades.

Mostly Flesh and Steel

  • Description: Complete the game without purchasing any supernatural powers or enhancements, aside from Blink.
  • Strategy: This achievement restricts your power usage significantly. You are allowed to upgrade Blink to Level 2, but no other powers (Dark Vision, Bend Time, Possession, Windblast, Devouring Swarm) can be purchased or upgraded. This also means no Bonecharm crafting. Rely heavily on environmental traversal, stealth, and your basic equipment. This is often combined with a "Clean Hands" or "Ghost" run for maximum efficiency.
  • Key Items: Crossbow (Sleep Darts), Pistol, Grenades, Spring Razors.

Combat & Skill Achievements

These achievements often require specific combat maneuvers or creative use of powers and equipment.

Manipulator

  • Description: Get 5 enemies to attack each other using Possession.
  • Strategy: This is best done in areas with multiple guards in close proximity. Acquire the Possession power (Level 1 is enough). Possess one guard, then walk them directly into another guard. The possessed guard will attack the other, and the other will retaliate. Repeat this process until 5 unique instances of enemies attacking each other have occurred. A good spot is the Distillery District in "High Overseer Campbell" or the Boyle Estate party.
  • Recommended Powers: Possession (Level 1).

Back Alley Brawl

  • Description: Kill 10 enemies in a street fight.
  • Strategy: This achievement is straightforward. Find a group of 10 or more enemies in an open area, such as the Distillery District or the Flooded District. Engage them in direct combat using your sword, pistol, and grenades. Ensure all 10 kills happen within the same general engagement.
  • Key Items: Sword, Pistol, Grenades.

Surgical Steel

  • Description: Perform 10 headshot kills with the pistol.
  • Strategy: Equip your pistol and aim for the head. Guards without helmets are easier targets. You can soften up enemies with a quick sword strike or a crossbow bolt before delivering the headshot. Slowing down time with Bend Time can make this significantly easier.
  • Recommended Powers: Bend Time (Level 1 or 2).
  • Key Items: Pistol.

Collectible & Exploration Achievements

These achievements involve finding hidden items or exploring every corner of Dunwall.

Art Dealer

  • Description: Find all of Slackjaw's paintings.
  • Strategy: There are 5 paintings scattered throughout the game that belong to Slackjaw. These are often well-hidden.
    • Mission 2: High Overseer Campbell:
      • Painting 1: In the Distillery, on the second floor of the building where Slackjaw is located, behind a locked door (key is on the table in the same room).
    • Mission 3: House of Pleasure:
      • Painting 2: In the Golden Cat, on the second floor, in the Madam's office.
      • Painting 3: In the Golden Cat, on the second floor, in the room with the two "gentlemen" and the courtesan.
    • Mission 7: The Flooded District:
      • Painting 4: In Daud's hideout, in the room where you first encounter him.
      • Painting 5: In the Flooded District, in the ruined apartment building near the entrance to Daud's hideout, accessible via a high balcony.
  • Tip: Use Dark Vision to help spot them, as they glow faintly.

Voyeur

  • Description: Look through 10 keyholes.
  • Strategy: This is a simple achievement. Whenever you encounter a locked door, approach it and look for the "Look through keyhole" prompt. Do this 10 times throughout your playthrough. There are more than enough opportunities across all missions.

Miscellaneous Achievements

These achievements cover a range of unique actions or specific interactions.

Well Dressed

  • Description: Purchase 10 equipment upgrades.
  • Strategy: Visit Piero's Workshop on the Hound Pits Pub deck between missions. Purchase any 10 upgrades for your mask, crossbow, pistol, or other gear. This is cumulative across playthroughs if you don't get it in one.
  • Location: Piero's Workshop (Hound Pits Pub).

Speed of Darkness

  • Description: Travel 30 meters in less than 1 second.
  • Strategy: This achievement is best accomplished with Blink (Level 2). Find a long, open stretch, such as a street or a large room. Aim your Blink as far as possible and activate it. Repeating this a few times should trigger the achievement. A good spot is the long street leading to the Distillery in "High Overseer Campbell."
  • Recommended Powers: Blink (Level 2).
