A Shadow Over Dunwall

Fifteen years have passed since Corvo Attano attempted to save Princess Emily Kaldwin and restore her family to the throne. The Rat Plague has ebbed, and peace reigned for a short time. However, a new threat is looming. Emily has been crowned the Empress and ruled well for these years, but she is not without her detractors. In fact, her rule and her life are being threatened. Murders sweep the nation, Bloodflies are breeding in record numbers, and the Empress’s enemies are closing in.

To survive this, you have to choose to play as Corvo Attano again or Emily Kaldwin herself. Both characters have the potential to become powerful assassins or crafty infiltrators. As before, you can bring chaos and destruction to the land as you punish everyone who gets in your way. Or, you can use a gentle hand to turn things right without killing your opponents. These choices determine your fate, your legacy, and the health of the land.

This guide can help you. We’ll explain the abilities you learn, the weapons you can use, and how to get the most out of each. Our walkthroughs give you two possible methods for completing the story. One of them will be an entirely bloodless run, avoiding combat, murder, and retribution. The other indulges itself in carnage, brutality, and heavy fighting. Try either one (or both) as you make your way through Dishonored 2. If you want, you can mix it all up and use a combination of stealth, assassinations, and combat to play the way that you like. Our advice will still help you to find avenues to explore, special items, and key points of attack!

Either way, your enemies won’t be able to stand against you. Every dirty trick and sneaky tactic is yours to wield. We’ll point them all out and let you decide what to do with them.
