Dishonored: Death of the Outsider final mission walkthrough, covering lethal and nonlethal endings and trophy requirements.

The final step is entering the Ritual Hold itself, the swirling vortex of debris that's impossible to miss. There aren't any enemies here, so head to the very final area to find an interesting surprise. Players have a binary choice of ending the game:

LETHAL: Stab the target. Yup, that's all. No recourse.

NONLETHAL: This can only be done if players opened Malchiodi's room and read his locked-up diary. Speak to the "old friend" nearby and convince him to help through overtures of compassion. Don't waver and it'll eventually go off without a hitch.

Both endings have their own trophy, so save beforehand. The end!

As of October 1, 2017, completing the game unlocks only Original Game Plus mode, which lets Billie play through with previous Dishonored powers (Blink, Dark Vision, Domino). These begin at maximum proficiency. While there's a new trophy for going through in this mode, some trophies require Semblance and Foresight/Displace, so some players'll have feelbad moments.

One more thing: completing the game does NOT carry over any learned bonecharm abilities. Yes, it's disappointing. When doing an Original Game Plus, it's a clean slate.

SPECIAL ACTIONS

  • BASIC ENGINEERING: Operate the Shindaerey Mines elevator.
  • GHOST IN THE VOID: Reach the Ritual Hold without being noticed.

ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES

There are 30-31 trophies available for Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, depending on whether players are on PS4 or XB1 (the former has an extra platinum trophy). To help things along, the trophy quality (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) and XB1 gamerscore values are included.

First, the mandatory trophies. One of the last two trophies depends on the final decision, so those who want both should reload for it. (All others are truly mandatory.)

TROPHYT/GSOBTAINMENT METHOD

Next, the remaining trophies. These all have windows of opportunity that can pass, either because the mission's over or players can't attempt it (due to Original Game Plus switching abilities around).
