Duke Corvo

[Dystructia]

I ran across a playthrough where some people had Corvo as Duke of Serkonos. There are ways I read that can allow this to happen, but I wanted to know if it's possible to attain this if I use Emily Kaldwin?

I believe this is a Corvo only outcome? And if I HAD to take a guess, you'd have to not save Emily at the end, which may or may not be a thing. Not 100% sure, only ran through the game twice so far.

Low chaos as Emily without interfering with anybody in the dust district, but still killing the duke gave me Corvo as the duke.

So if I was to say; put Byrne and Paolo in the crates and ship them off in the silvergraph studio... it wouldn't go towards that outcome?

I think it's 'The Duke must be dead AND double must be not involved AND no siding with Paolo OR Abbey'.

Loved that one, actually. Pretty much the only unexpected outcome across the possible ending slides.

All you have to do is not support Paolo or Byrne, and then kill the Duke. Body double doesn't matter.

It's not that easy. I took out both Paolo and Byrne, killed the Duke, and didn't fullfil the deal with his Double (that was a Corvo run) - no Duke Corvo, Karnaca fell into total disarray. I read that you have to take out both the Duke AND his Double, though I haven't tested that myself.

Not saving Emily actually makes sure you don't get Duke Corvo as an ending, since he will be busy ruling in Dunwall as Emperor.

It has to be low chaos, Kota. If you have the option of not saving Emily, that only occurs in high chaos.

I don't believe you can get Duke Corvo with an Emily run, because he has literally no clue what's been going on for the last 3+ months :)

What I did to get it, was basically skipped most of the Dust district, went straight through stilton (you can't save him either in this run), and when you get to the duke just outright kill him. Don't bother talking to or even engaging the body double.

If it works only in low chaos, then why have I seen endings of Corvo as "The Bloody Duke"?

Corvo is the Duke here, and it's definitely High Chaos.

I have no idea how to get this. Killed the Duke, his double, Paola, and Byrne, didn't side with anyone. No success with Corvo or Emily.

Did you spare or kill Hypatia and Jindosh? Because it looks like literally everyone has to be dead in that case. I haven't seen that one :)

idk if you guys are still wondering about this but, when i did my playthrough as emily, corvo became the duke and i delivered paolo to the overseer leader and then killed him. then i did the deal with the body double
