My first experience with Dishonored was a disaster, to say the least. I didn’t quite grasp the concept of the Chaos system, and before I knew it, I was careening towards the dreaded High Chaos ending. The rats in Dunwall were multiplying at an alarming rate, and poor Emily’s citizens were being devoured by the minute.

The Road to Redemption
It wasn’t until I decided to embark on a perfect, no-kill, no-detection run that I finally grasped the concept of stealth in Dishonored 2. This was no easy feat, especially for someone who had previously struggled with stealth in other games, including Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. After 40 hours of quick-saves and hasty restarts, I finally succeeded in completing the game without killing a single person.

It wasn’t until I took a break and grabbed a pen and paper that I was able to crack the code.
