About this run

It's time to break some glass! This run was inspired by Pugnator and his awesome Nihilist Run. Now, I can never look at Blink and other powers the same way as before. They feel like cheats to me! What I also really like about that run is that there are no unnecessary KOs. It makes the game so much more challenging because you have to always keep in mind where your enemies are when making your move. This also forces you to be creative. There are some probably crazy strategies I use and alternative paths I take in this run. Lastly, I believe that a stealthy character should leave as few traces of their presence as possible.

Most of the rules of Pugnator's run apply here (very hard/no powers/ghost/clean hands/no reloads/no unneeded KOs/no damage). However, we enjoy shiny things, so we will also be collecting everything, except money of course cuz it can't buy me love :P I also tried to make this run feel like a speedrun, so cutscenes and other story elements are skipped. Though of course there are places where I waited quite a bit, mostly because I was paranoid and didn't want to restart the mission. After a thousand of retries you start playing it a bit safe :)

One thing I wished for this run is to be somewhat of a walkthrough. But Dishonored 2 has so much randomness that I soon realized that I never had a chance. Guards with variable patrol patterns and starting positions, random head turning and even rats can destroy all your carefully laid out plans. Some strategies that I used don't work all the time. Some are quite difficult to pull off and should be practiced a lot to improve your chances. I admit that I was a bit lucky at times but, hey, I can't complain :D

This is my first time doing something like this. It took me 4 months (around 240 hours) to complete all the missions according to my rules. I can honestly say that this run, especially the Clockwork Mansion mission, is definitely the most difficult thing I've ever done when it comes to gaming.

Anyway, enjoy, and feel free to leave a like or comment, especially if you know any other cool strategies or info about this great game.
