Just passed the game without killing anyone, no 'clean hands' achievement unlocked?

[Azio]

So I just passed dishonored with out killing ANYBODY. It took some time but I got there in the end, I checked my mission stats and everything, I still haven't unlocked the achievement, anybody know why?

Maybe you need to do it in a row not go back and replay the mission.

Have the same issue. I did notice that one one of my autosaves that I had placed a corpse down on a roof, but when I load he has fallen to the ground thus dying. Don't know if that is what is causing it or if something similar in other areas of the game when I played through.

I just had the same problem and I did do it in a row.

This achievement includes weepers, accidental deaths, drownings, eaten by fish etc. If any of that happened you wont get it.

An Arkane employee posted that there is a bug with Granny Rags'/Slackjaw's sidequest in the sewers adding a hidden kill to your count that does not show up on mission stats. It's apparently fixed internally and waiting for a patch to be released to us. Reloading any save and finishing the game should grant the achievement after that.

Nice, that must be it, as I completed that sidequest.

Also interesting to note is that the two weepers beneath the Hounds Pit bar that we have to investigate just before mission 2 ( golden cat ) also actually count toward or against the Clean Hand ( and the Ghost ) achievement :

( from Bethesda very own support page )
"Killing the Weepers present in the sewers beneath the Hound Pits Pub just before The Golden Cat mission will count against the Clean Hands achievement, but will not count against the achievements dealing with being spotted.

If Granny is Sleep Darted or Choked Out after destroying the Cameo in the Flooded District Mission, this will count as a kill and will prevent you from getting Clean Hands. "

Since sleep-darting Granny still leaves the "no kill" box checked at the end of the mission, one can safely assume there is no way to remember whether those two weepers were killed or not during the inter-mission sequence...
Anyway, I also stole Granny's key and freed Slackjaw in the process, leaving them to their fate, it counted as both No Kill / No Detec for the mission but I didn't unlock Clean hands. Either it's definitely bugged, or I killed one of them Weepers before Mission 2 and didn't even know :(

I'm sure I didn't kill the weepers because I checked to see if they were still alive, but I chocked out Granny Rags (and left her alive).

[Fry]

bugged for me

[Taiylz]

man i lol'd when you said you choked a granny, bahaha

[Keramane]

Yeah, I darted the weepers, had a pure 0-kill count all game. Granny fight did it for me, it snuck a kill on my kill free score.

Spose I'll wait for the patch :V How annoying.

[Ghostdog]

Had this issue today as well sad face I has V.V

[DeadEffort]

same issue here no achievements :(

[Saathiya]

There's more of a bug to this than the granny thing. I replayed from that mission on, just stole the key and ran, and still did not get Clean Hands. It's just broken. That's all there is to it.

What sucks about this is if I replay and screw up the conditions for it before the patch, then no achievement at patch. So, there goes the replay value.

The thing that makes this achievement so desirable is that it's a memento of what I think is the most unique experience I've ever had in a stealth/action game. Keeping enemies alive is genius, and the achievement is pretty much the only completely unique one I've ever seen. Figures it would be broken.

Then you apparently never played Deus Ex Human Revolution (Pacifist Achievement), DEHR Missing Link or it's 'predecessors', which could all be played through without killing anyone - bossfights excepted. Not to mention the magnificent Thief Series, to which Arkane has a very close connection btw.
No-kill is the only way to really play those games. They're much more challenging if you're not allowed to kill or even to knock out someone.

Just finished my first no-kill playthrough of Dishonored either, but as I gave Granny a good night sleep per dart, didn't get my "clean hands" achievement either. I really don't like the idea of leaving Slackjaw alone with her, so I it seems I won't get it for some time. :/
