I Made This Achievement In Dishonored 2 VERY Frustrating (2025)

Man, I've done a No Powers run, AND I've done a No Detection/Kills run, and I felt like a beast.
You sir, have humbled me to my core.

Secret easy stealth trick to the Dust District: Spending a comically long amount of time solving the puzzle yourself. I remember playing the game when it first came out and got a bunch of papers to solve the door code riddle, it was truly an emotional experience.

I remember doing the no kills and not being spotted on Dishonored 1. It was annoying, but fun to see all the alternate ways of taking out your targets non lethally.

Nothing better than a video cataloging Snam pushing his sanity to the brink for our enjoyment.

When you were zapping Jindosh's brain and said something like 'how is this the moral option?' it reminded me of one of my favorite things about dishonored. The non-lethal options aren't morally correct, they aren't about being the better person, or anything like that.
It's the characters trying to actively give their enemies fates worse than death. It's not about doing the right thing, or getting revenge, even, it's about sending a message that Corvo/Emily are Not To Be Fucked With.

I replay this game at least once a year, I obtained the achievements same way you did, it's nice to see another person suffer and enjoy it at the same time

you took the most inconvenient and hard paths in every level and still got it done, this was great

Probably not much help now but a lot of the elevators (that don't bring you to a new cell, just a different floor in the same cell) have a door built into the ceiling that lets you get on top of them. In addition to being a handy place to hide, they're also pretty great places to stash unconscious guards if you don't want to attract extra attention.

Finally a game where I have the achievements Snams talking about. I remember really enjoying the no power run because it made me appreciate the level design more. Its very rare you are locked out of an area completely if you don't have powers.

I am SOO glad you actually check in-game while in the level still if you have been seen or not. this saved me a ton of anxiety at the end of each level :')

This game is what i tell people is my favorute game when asked. Ive done a non lethal powerless ghost on both characters. I still have a clip where during one of the runs i threw clorophorm at an enemy on some stairs, a few seconds later their friend walked into the cloud, fell over, dropped their booze, and burned them both alive. Good times, love this game.

Dishonored 2 is my favorite videogame and this was so fun to watch!
Now, I’ll give everyone an advice for the first mission (and I’ll be available for anything else if you just ask me).
There is a trick to basically skip half of the first mission. First, right after you leave the Tower, you have to continue walking on the rooftops. Turn left and jump on a black pipe and from there traverse a bridge that connects the two buildings. However wait in the middle of the bridge. After some seconds a train will pass under you, so you simply have to jump down on it. The train will get you to the entrance of the second section. Just before reaching it, quickly turn right and jump over the spiky fence (be careful because it can damage you and make you fall). Finally, hide behind the tree and wait for the guard to turn his back on you, so you can climb up the pipes and enter an abandoned apartment. Traverse it, go all the way to the right, climb up where the train passes and go towards the ship. Then you jump in the water and swim towards the ship.
This always works. Good luck!!

On lvl 6 (dust district) you can also take out both targets and put them in crates in a shop between the two outposts. You gotta find the key to the inner part of that building though

Love how he does all of this, without mapping, without planning, and without an actual understanding of no powers stealth runs xD proven by calling up an arc pylon straight into his face.

Snam, I love your videos. I'm not much of a stream watcher myself but I love that you clip and cut the streams into bite sized videos that actually look like they're intended to be watched as vids. Plus your cheery attitude and infections "Whaaaat" keeps me coming back for more. Thanks!

On the hardest difficulty, non lethal and with no powers, plus making Delihla a funny ragdoll that survives a 3 floor fall. Another amazing vid!

The funny thing about Jindosh's mansion is that it didn't have to be anywhere near as hard as it was for you, like 99% of the difficulty with that area is just from not understanding how the mansion works. Once you do understand though that could've definitely been one of the easiest parts of the run, as you didn't need to take the elevator which leaves you only actually needing to worry about 6 guards (4 of which are isolated) and 4 clockwork soldiers.
Probably the only things easier is Stilton's mansion which is primarily navigated without powers anyways, so it's just a normal non-lethal stealth run of the mission, and the entire dust district mission which you can genuinely just completely skip it by solving the riddle yourself.

An alternate way to get past the Dust District under this set of restrictions is to just solve the Jindosh Lock's logic puzzle yourself. Which is either much simpler, or much, MUCH harder, depending on how good you are at logic puzzles.
Or you could solve it on your own for the achievement, then do the entire level anyway for fun and goodies.

The key to a stealth run is understanding the geometry of the game around you and the routs of the enemies.
You’d have had such an easier time on mission 1, for example, if you’d kept to the right of the map instead.
Oh god, this is turning into a live react. The PAIN I felt watching him slashing away at blood flies when there’s SO MANY FLAMMABLE BOTTLES lying around is severe.
_AND_ Hypatia’s lab has a window to behind the watch tower.
As others have mentioned, you can get on top of the elevator in a few ways. But even more than that, there’s multiple windows to get behind the walls in Jindosch Mansion.
That’s not true, you can indeed get around the wall of light by climbing even without powers.
This is a recurring thing in the play through where verticality is simply not being explored.
You’d have had a LOT easier time if you started looking up and around for more routes.
Ah yes, the classic “well guess stealth isn’t an option.”
Yeah, the mansion is a puzzle that once you solve is just a matter of execution.
You can entirely skip the elevator by using a secret door that leads to Emily’s Safe Room.
[Edit: not Emily’s safe room, I meant Jessamine’s secret room behind the fire place on near Corvo’s bedroom.]

The droids aren't considered kills by the game. But if you want an advantage over them without destroying them, a headshot blinds them but you need to be really precise. (They can't see anymore but they can still hear)

Every single time I’m like “I wish snam would drop a video” he does the damn thing!

Huge tip for people stealthing the first mission, that cart on the tracks you can ride it, and it takes you to the end of the section where you can just hop into the water.

Just the video I needed to help push through this last day of the week, honestly Snam has easily become one of my favorite youtubers because his content always lifts my spirits lol 🔥

Honestly might be my favourite game ever, I've also completed this game in every possible challenging combination and loved (almost) every second of it.

Nice one!! Glad to see this game getting some love, it’s one of my favourites too. I did this challenge around the time the game came out just to see if it could be done…so painful. Although I cheated on mission 6 by rampaging through to get the puzzle solution then reloading to use it haha.

I remember beating the first game on very hard, without any kills and without getting spotted while not using any powers and not knocking anyone out, it was a blast but it was annoying to restart each and every time i got spotted. I've yet to get my hands on the second game, but it will be a blast too. Liked the vid btw, you've done a great job.

It's finally here! I've been so excited for this, I suggested this months ago and have been super eager to see Snam handle Dishonored 2.

I'm currently playing like this, even though this game gives you two types of teleports, it amazes me how the map still is built for no powers stealth

I’m super late to this video and new to your channel. But I am so happy to see you did this! I attempted these three achievements on the hardest difficulty and it took me weeks of reloading and retrying when I had just moved and was sleeping in someone’s living room years ago. I didn’t have a job at the time or my own place but this achievement kept me semi sane while I went through a hard time in my life. You rock and I love your videos!

I love how he doesn’t freak out but laughs to his own pain instead 😂

30:42 Is such a great moment, reminds me of when I learned something new I could do with powers in the same level.

12:44 "Just ask Tua."
Yea Snam! Call out the Dolphins!

Finally, a video I can relate to. Havent played many of the games you do vids on, but I played D2 to death when I was younger. Definitely in my top 3 favorite of all time

I did the same thing back in 2019, you can see the 3 achievements were all unlocked at the same time on Steam at 16:26. It's both a very frustrating and very satisfying challenge, and also makes you more involved in the game than you could ever be on a normal playthrough lol

Doing this 100% myself was like suffering through the rat plague 😂

Idea: Every time Snam finishes a game's hardest achievements he should add it to the tier list he made already.

Snam is my new favourite RUclipsr! I watched through all his videos but we need more! Bring on the achievements!!

Snam!!! Good to see you post king! Just played Payday 2 for the first time 3 days ago and seen it had over 1k achievements and thought of you. Love the videos and will forever support bro🫡🫡🫡

1:05 but he did hear a crow
(Corvo is Italian for crow)

I remember the first time I seen them look under a table and I was like "Wait that's ILLEGAL."🤣

Lmao this was hilarious and fun as hell to watch! Great video as usual. It makes me want to play Dishonored 😂

You know, this might be my first run that snamwiche has done that I've done too. My third run of this glorious game was the one where I decided to do this. Nothing in this game will show you how well made the world is in terms of being able to maneuver as this run, and damn it was a hard, fun run.

- do not take the most direct route. The level design in Dishonored 2 is amazing and alternate paths have been placed all over the levels specifically to facilitate a stealthy no powers run.
- climb stuff. The beauty of Dishonored 2 is that anything that looks climbable probably is, specifically to allow different playstyles, since the Dishonored series is pretty much an immersive sim. If you study the level design you'll find conveniently placed objects that let you climb up and above the line of sight of guards, or ledges outside buildings you can walk across.
- use all the sleep darts and stun mines you need by buying or looting them from the black market shop. Stun mines can be upgraded to three charges to maximise their utility. I've placed stun mines down, made a commotion in their general direction and watched as the enemies in an area all ran into it and were shocked unconscious.
- watch out for chloroform bottles that look just like empty glass bottles which basically act as an Area of Effect sleep dart which you can throw into a group of foes to knock them all out.
- while a stealthy no killing no powers run means you can't kill any humans (or dogs I think,) bloodflies and clockwork soldiers are free game. You can slash, burn, grenade or use springrazors to deal with these enemies that you can't on humans. Drop attack clockwork soldiers to disable their heads so they can't see you, as long as you crouch and don't bump into them from then on, they won't detect you.
- probably the dirtiest trick I've done for the dust district encountering the jindosh lock - hard save in front of the jindosh lock, then run through the district killing your way to find the answer. Once you have it, take a picture of it, reload your save in front of the door, solve the riddle, and continue.

I did this exact thing before this video came out and I am having flashbacks watching this (not so good flashbacks)

5:35 Snam confirmed as the orginial Hawk Tuah.

Hardest difficulty, 0 spots, 0 damage. Quicksave and quick load are the strat

Yeah... Did all of these in one go. Ridiculous.
Just a few hundred restarts and a lot of "Don't see me, don't hear me. Don't see me, don't hear me! Argh!!!"

I love this game too. Keep 'em coming Snam you legend! I had such a rough time doing unseen, some of it was so buggy and like "wait what??"

A great video (as always), with the added bonus of smack-talking da Iggles.... *chef's kiss*

There’s a great level 1 skip. Go left across the rooftops instead of following the quest marker, you’ll come to a balcony where you go across the street on a banister, and from there you can drop down onto a rail cart that will take you all the way out to the harbour

Ah yes, a Clean, Flesh, Shadow, Very Hard run.
I did the same for Dishonored back years ago and damn was it satisfying.

Recently finished this game after years of off and on play sessions and got a no kill and ghost with Corvo. You're a madman, that's a crazy way to play.

That Psychopass reference was cathartic thank you

I played no kill, stealth on my second run and Gotta say i never had more fun with a game, because the game just throws youn into the world, points in one direction and says: go. The rest is completely up to you. i love Dishonored 2

As pissed off I've been playing this I gotta say that I absolutely LOVE how perceptive the guards are.
You feel like you've actually outsmarted the game and beaten it fair and square

Damn. I did the same thing on my second playthrough and it was rough... Very hard, non lethal, shadow, but i did it with powers and it still was a beach lmao

Hey Sandwich, here's a challenge. No take outs of non primary targets. Means you have to sneak around everyone. That's probably not doable without powers though.
I feel that knocking out enemies makes the challenge trivial. In the first game I was going for a run where I'm never spotted, no bodies found and no kills. I tried to avoid even touching anyone. I think for main targets a choke out was unavoidable, but that meant that all the other enemies were roaming free. Combine that with going for 100% collectibles including coins and you have a mighty challenge on your hands. The game gets slightly easier once you get stop time level 2, but it costs a ton of mana, so you can't spam it too much. Litterally playing a greedy goblin ninja. Yeah, I had too much time on my hands :)

The first problem was him going sneaky around the whole city segment at the beginning, you can literally take the train all the way to docks , then jump to the water and swim to the right side of the ship.

34:31 Song name is Two Dragons from Yakuza 0.
It's a certified banger

Dishonored 2 is an underrated masterpiece

Brother choose the worst path in every situation lol 😂
Also never look up for way to climb

... Okay, are those robots from Dishonored 2 voiced by the guy that voiced Boss from Republic Commando?

I did that exact combo myself! Thankfully, I only tried it after completing the game normally (twice), so I was pretty confident in what I could and couldn't get away with

I think that 2nd robot didn't spawn because the devs threw you a bone after too many failed attempts. I've noticed with a lot of games its like this. If you fail too many times the difficulty will remain the same but enemies will choose different paths or not even spawn to help you out.

I like that this game allows you to not engage in combat all the way to the end but when you do, the tutorials are there just in case. 😂

i just discovered your chanel and have binge watched a load your a great host and have extreme patience

I remember having quite a bit of fun working on Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider, Dishonored 1 not so much. Moreso the Dunwall Trial DLC achievements since some of those are brutal.
By My Hand Alone is pure agony because there's nothing worse than trying to make sure enemies don't kill each other through 13 different rounds. Another one I hated was Daredavil which has you needing to do a bunch of trick jumps which can be quite a pain in the ass to pull off depending on how things line up in a round. 3 staring some of the expert challenges can be quite annoying as well depending on what they are.

Me half the time I'm playing "sir mind your business" and "no you didn't" 🙄 the other half is "frick this *sends rats on them*"

The Clockwork Mansion was quite difficult for me on very hard, silent assassin. Good video as always, love the content 👏👊

So pumped for a new video! Great way to start the weekend

What I find interesting about the Dishonored achievements is that they’re very doable even for the average gamer, however they just take so much patience and save scumming to get through that most people wouldn’t bother going for them. That includes a lot of mental resilience too, because choking guys to sleep in Dishonored is just so boring when you know you could be assassinating everyone with your blade and cool powers.

A true Eagles fan would know there’s never any hope for the Eagles. But we believe in Snam!

On the first level you can actually reach jump on the tram that comes by early on and it takes you all the way to the end without being spotted. It’s fast, easy to do, and effective.

As always, a fantastically entertaining video that showcases your immense amount of patience and mental fortitude to keep going until you've achieved your goal.
Thanks for another great video.
(^-^)

6:34 that man came over there to rat you out then explode into confetti.

Going for the bonus of no bodies detected really would've made this an exercise in insanity

That Elevator is not the only way up. There is a path through a fake window on that same floor that can get you up to the higher floor. I think there is another as well but I don't remember what it is. And there is at least one that gets you down to the assessment floor as well. Or you can get to it from Jindosh's lab after you get over there. In Jindosh's apartment there is a pipe on the outside that you can get on and climb down around to bypass things to get to the lab.

One of my favorite video game series

Every video you put out is always entertaining from start to finish. I hope you continue to grow❤

There are a few things that if you had known, it would have helped a lot. You can kill Hypatia, Jindosh and Duke while going for Clean Hands and Shadow. For Hypatia, you gotta get a molotov right before u go into her lab, place it behind her while she's working on her desk, then do the slide + non-lethal takedown move, it will knock her into the molotov and kill her. For Jindosh, knock him out while he is on the elevator and cut the red thing that holds it up while he is inside (make sure you quick-save before u cut it, this one is a little inconsistent). For Duke there is a RNG factor to it, the real one needs to be the one in his chambers, all you gotta do is walk up to him and say he's the body double, then you're free to blast him in the face. None of those methods will count as kills.

yess another snamwiches video and its on dishonored this is going to be the perfect watch. i always choose destruction in dishonored because no matter what i tried id always get caught

you are truly insane and I will sit here and enjoy this pure chaos!!

My favorite game series of all time. Got all the achievements in DH1, DH2 and Death of the outsider.

The worst enemy of dishonored on console is that FOV

I'm so happy that you kept in hitting the homeless guy with the bottle that was hilarious 😂

My first time playing through the game was a very hard, ghost, non lethal, no powers run. I also didn't use bone charms as I feared it would mess up the no powers achievement. It was actually pretty fun trying to find routes without the teleport and I only had to restart a mission one due to me getting spotted 17 times. Also having to do the dukes mansion only 3 stun mines was a challenge within itself.

I did a run where I wasn't spotted ever and killed nobody. It is one of my rarest achievements, but not even I would do what you did. Good shit man

The horror I felt when you started talking about the 3 different achievements because I knew what you were going to do you *mad man*

I love watching how people play this game, cause there are so many different paths. In my non-lethal/no powers run I took several different paths from these

I loved this video plz start including more in terms of longer videos please keep it up brother !

Activating the power coil on yourself is so you Snam I love it xD

You know what
You're the best creator the algorithm has ever shown me. Bless it.

My first playthrough of the game was with no powers, without killing anyone, and without being spotted. It made Jindosh's Mansion a very different experience when I could actually use the switches to swap up the rooms!

My favorite part of the video is how you make it worse on yourself multiple times, for example, not realizing you can make the Robots blind by shooting them in the face until the VERY end.

i dont know why it took me this long to sub this is top tier content obviously keep up the great work ma man !!!!!

You can actually cheese the puzzle door if you rush through the mission,get the code, and then reload a save before you even got Detected. As the code only changes on every new playthrough

THE SOLARIS PHASE 2 MUSIC AT 18:35 HAD ME DYING 🤣🤣🤣🤣

30:45
That was helluva hilarious 😂😂

2:20 "I feel good! I knew that I would" 🎶

I'm literally working in Dishonored 2 trophies now. Perfect video timing! I'm doing 3 playthroughs though.
