The majority of Dishonored 2 players will never know the satisfaction of attaining the game’s rarest achievements, but there’s always the next best option: watching someone else do the hard work.
In videos on Twitch, YouTube, and other social media platforms, players tear through the game’s trickiest elements. First we have the little accomplishments, like figuring out how to survive a long drop and the loss of your own humanity:
Oh my God, I just discovered I can survive a long fall by creating a doppelganger down there and dropkilling her. What am I. pic.twitter.com/Y8mlu0VpZ0

Then there’s the more intricate play-style, one that takes dedication and practice. Just watch some of the players in the speedrunning community. YouTube user and Twitch streamer Cearadeth has an impressive record for completing the game as both Emily and Corvo in several Any% (anything goes) playthroughs. His Corvo run clocks in at 29 minutes and 27 seconds, while his Emily run is 29:44.
The game has a daunting number of collectibles for completionists to tackle, as well as a balance of either low or high chaos that corresponds to your body count. (This affects the end of the game, as you can see below in TheGOOD Kyle’s run.)
