Dishonored 2 Stealth Guide

Master stealth mechanics for ghost and clean hands achievements.

Stealth Fundamentals

  • 1Lean around corners to observe patrol routes before committing to movement.
  • 2Crouch-walking is silent on all surfaces. Standing movement alerts nearby guards.
  • 3Bodies must be hidden -- unconscious NPCs found by guards count as detections.
  • 4Quick-save before risky sections and reload if detected for a clean run.

Non-Lethal Options

  • 1Choke-holds from behind are silent and non-lethal. The safest takedown method.
  • 2Sleep darts knock targets unconscious but take a moment to take effect.
  • 3Stun mines can incapacitate multiple guards in a single area of effect.
  • 4Every assassination target has a non-lethal alternative for Clean Hands runs.

Advanced Movement

  • 1Blink/Far Reach to rooftops and chandeliers for undetected vertical traversal.
  • 2Possession allows walking past guards inside a rat or fish undetected.
  • 3Shadow Walk makes Emily nearly invisible and can pass through small gaps.
  • 4Chain multiple movement abilities to cross large open areas without detection.
