HELP - Daud non-lethal

[ублюдок]

So i'm doing the clean hands achievement and i want to do the non lethal way to eliminate Daud every time, I can pickpocket him without any problem but everytime it leaves the marker over his head and doesnt say the task has been completed is this a bug or something?

[Eternie]

As far as I remember it stays there until you leave that area. Which makes sense as you could still get discovered get into a fight and kill Daud.

oh ok i'll try that thanks

You actually DO have to get into a fight with him. You get to choose to spare him *after* the fight, if you're in low chaos.

This is wrong. You can completely stealth the mission, taking the key from the desk and picking Daud's pocket without being noticed. It's not easy, of course, but it's doable, even on Very Hard.

Ah, you're right. It is quite difficult. Also it's been like... a full year and a half since I've played through to that point >_>

Use stealth to get his bonecharm and key and stealth your way out. The target spared icon won't appear until after you leave the gate under his base, but it will appear eventually.

all this works the thing that doesn't work is when i pickpocket him the task isn't marked as completed and the marker even stays over him while when i watched a video right after pickpocketing him the task would be marked as completed which in my case doesn't happen..

If you make it out of there with the keys and steal his stuff, it should pop at some point when you're leaving.

If you know that you have the right items then you may as well leave and just see if they'll work or not

I just lured the guards out one by one and knocked them out, left them on top of the bookcases, and quietly choked out Daud. As long as he's alone, you're fine. Alternately, just ignore him.

apologies for posting on something that's five years old but this is one of the first threads that comes up when you google how to eliminate daud non lethally so I was hoping this would help someone like it did me (dishonored is an awesome game that I can see people playing for many years after it's release so there's that too :) ) ...

...anyways, what worked for me was first using the sleep inducing crossbow bolts you find in a trunk on the way to Daud ... I had upgraded Corvo (your character's) mask (lets you zoom in on people and objects as far as your sight) letting me zoom in on Daud's one guard making the crossbow sleep dart to knock him out an easy one.. while I was doing that Daud was holding up a book and musing aloud with his back turned to the guard ... I used Blink to teleport right behind him then use the non lethal choke option (I didn't stop to try and carry away the unconscious body of his guard first, knock Daud out right away).

Personally I would save just before doing that and take the time to listen to all of Daud's musings even if you have to reload in order to knock him out later on... I love all the character conversation and attention to "world building", it's part of what makes this game so great :) ..

[andrepurchases]

Also as I found out the hard way you can waste all your "sleep inducing" crossbow bolts on Daud and it simply will not work he's immune to them .. so my approach was to knock out first the one guard with the sleep inducing crossbow bolt, blink/teleport behind Daud as he's musing and reading the book before he notices the guard is unconscious and do the choke hold to knock him unconscious. As I mentioned before definitely want to save before doing that in case it takes more than one try (and also to hear Daud's dialogue :) )

I just blinked behind him nicked his key charm and pouch and ran for the hills didn't even knock him or his guards out

I'm still trying to get the freaking charm off of his belt, but every time I do he's like oh oh you're not doing that

Okay so I was able to do it so easily on even the hardest difficulty so what you do is you wait for the guy to come talk to Dad then go up on one of the dressers nearby wait until he's facing the front of room teleport behind him go under the desk then wait for him to do his little speeches and then when he comes over to your desk and leans over it your pickpocket button should pop up and you can take it from there won't do anything wait for him to walk back over catty corner to it and lean on the desk with the key on it pop your stop time and then you can take the key turn around go back up on that bookcase and then teleport out of there
