5th Mission - Approach the Eye Bug

[Cheesus]

So now im approaching the eyes. I checked my stats and it says i have 0 kills and never spotted by enemies.
After I approached the eyes and entered the void, my stats suddenly showed 2 kills. How is this possible?
I know that i only used non lethal takedown. Is this related to the 2 people that I used Semblance on? Or is this a possible bug?

Well, the environment changes when you touch the Eye – perhaps that change kills some people that are lying unconscious somewhere.

^^ When the level loads its new landscape they probably get caught somewhere or fall. It's a known thing and does happen in the prior game as well.

There is no nonlethal achievement, though, so it's not a must-have except for personal pride.

Thanks for the highlight bro. Went back to check on the achievements and realized there is no Merciless. Well there goes my clean playthrough since Dishonored 1

You can still TRY for it, obviously but it's sort of hard to figure out exactly which of these bodies might be the ones killed. When I get around to finishing my current run (I'm at the start of that level now) I may try and knock everyone out and just move them all to a specific spot on the map, just in case. But iirc that whole map really does undergo a radical change in scenery, so there's probably very few places to store unconscious people that won't just up and change under them.

Just after passing through the tipped mine cart, and first seeing an Envisioned with 3 cultists. I knocked the cultists unconscious and carried them back through the mine cart to hide the bodies. It is these cultists that were killed somehow after touching the Eye.

So I brought the bodies forward with me into the library, then touched eye, now no more kill counts.

[D. Mouse]

Huh, interesting. I've just touched the eye and didn't get any kills.

[Zekiran]

Then you probably knocked people out where they were clear of the scenery changes.

[Cheesus]

Well, turns out there is no achievement for no killing, so i just went along with it

[Zekiran]

Yeah that was one of the things the devs said before release... no chaos system, and specific achievements like that would logically vanish. Mostly because they know that most of us do those for personal taste or feels, rather than an achievement, but still. There is ONE mission worth of not killing, to get a minor trophy. :)

Otherwise, I mean, you're playing an assassin. >_> unlike Corvo, who was a bodyguard, and Daud who was trying desperately to change his tune.

Confirmed: I had this, then went back and moved a load of unconscious cultists into more central positions, and the kill didn't happen when I re-touched the Eye.

for more detail check my answer to the post above.

the answers above are correct. If you stored the bodies of the first two cultists you meet at Shindaery close to where you meet them, that area is destroyed in the void... hence two kills.

There are also dodgy areas to store bodies further into the mine. The post above lists all of the safe body storage areas that I found.
