Non-lethal way to complete contracts?

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

Are there ways to finish all the contracts without killing anyone? I'm trying a non-lethal/ghost playthrough so don't want to kill anybody.

Yes, you can complete all contracts without killing anyone. There is no just one way, there are ways...

I'm already stuck on mission 2 lol. I finished the contract with the mime without killing him by using displace at the cliff, but how do you finish 'Workplace Harrasment" without killing the two people at the end?

False. The contract in the Conservatory MUST kill literally every enemy (not the regular folk there are only 3 others on that level at all that can be saved). The racketeer and her partner must be killed in an earlier chapter. The mime CAN be saved but you have to do it really carefully.

A non-lethal play through must involve not completing numerous contracts as they are often lethal-only.

There is not. No achievement for no kills, no achievements for either completing in high/low chaos (which doesn't really exist in the first place). You can kill anyone you want, but there is an achievement for never being spotted.

I think there is an achievement for completing a mission without killing anyone but I may be wrong.

Ah yes, there is actually. I completely forgot, I got that one on mission 1, no wonder it flew over my head.

There is an achievement to get though one mission without killing anybody called "Agent of Mercy". There isn't an achievement to go through the whole game without killing anybody. Probably related to the lack of a chaos system.

So when a contract specifically states to kill someone, how does one avoid, well, killing someone?

For immersion's sake, what are we supposed to think? "Aww, they don't really mean it. That's just their bravado talking. Rendering the target unconscious for a couple of hours is good enough."

Realism goes out the window when you can "non-lethally" render someone unconcious by smashing their head against concrete from 10 feet above.

You can't. Contracts specifically ask you to kill certain characters. I found that a bit silly to be honest, but I think it's also the reason why there is an achievement to have no kills in one mission rather than the whole story.

You can still finish the game without killing, but you'll have to ignore some of the contracts.

I was trying at this one for a long time, and discovered that there is a way to sorta kinda complete the mission without "killing" them. They'll still be listed as dead if you inspect the body, but it wont show as any kills on your Stats screen.

The trick is to stand on the ledge across the street from the two npcs after they've sat down on the bench. Then you toss a non-lethal Hook Mine high up on the lamp post next to them. It should hook one of them up, then quickly toss a second hook mine just underneath the first one. If you've done it right, the second hook will cause the second NPC to bump into the first NPC, knocking them both off and down to their death. For some reason, doing it this way will kill them, but won't count it as your kill.

Actually, you can attract a red guard who shoots , and provoke the contracts to attack you , then you keep parrying the attacking contracts while the red guard shoots at you , killing them in the process , and contract will complete with 0 kills :)

WORKS! Genius. I managed to "kill" one at a time, but it took some tries. No change in my stats.
