Harm's Way Trophy in Dishonored: Definitive Edition

  • Harm's Way

     

    You caused 5 unintentional suicides

    How to unlock Harm's Way

    To cause an unintentional suicide you must first learn Possession Level 2, which will enable you to possess humans. After doing so you can possess a human and cause them to perform a task that results in their death. The easiest way to do this is by having a soldiers shoot themselves, which also requires Bend Time Level 2. Mission 9: The Light at the End, is especially good for doing this—which is the location shown in the video— because every soldier has a pistol.

    About two seconds after an enemy points their pistol at you they will fire. It is the same delay for each and every type of enemy. The cast time on Bend Time is also about one second. For a kill to count, simply use Bend Time (level 2) a second after one of them fully extends their pistol and aims it at you, or reloads after firing. The moment bend time activates the target should have just fired their gun.

    Immediately use possession (level 2) on them (or someone other than the person that fired the shot for Manipulator). Turn them around, walk around the bullet, and then position them a few feet away from, but still in front of, the bullet—not right in front of it otherwise it will miss—then release the possession. It will instantly kill them and count towards the trophy. It is best to have at least five or six mana potions before attempting this and to save first. You should also save right after you perform a successful kill. Load up the save if you make a mistake and repeat the process until it unlocks.

  • They really nerfed this trophy and it is now the hardest one for myself to get. I'm on the road to getting Art Dealer and Spackjaw's trophy but this one is consistently eluding me. I tried wall of sparks at Lady Boyle's manor using possession on her guests: nothing. Then I tried possessing guards and jumping into water: Nada. I tried stopping time and moving them in front of their own bullet but they're now immune to their own bullets. Out of all trophies I must say this one is officially the hardest cause the developers really made it so you can't manipulate anyone in anyway to get this trophy easily. I'm going to attempt to stop time in the distillery district and have Spackjaw's men blow fire onto themselves. Will update on how effective this works.
  • Apparently I have a broken game. According to numerous sources across the internet, everyone has tried either the shooting themselves trick or the lady boyle wall of light trick and the trophy has unlocked for them. It is the last trophy I need and I'm seriously pissed off....
  • After going to Lady Boyle's party for the third time and finding 5 citizens each time to throw into the wall of light. It miraculously worked and I platinumed the game. :)
  • @Sarevokrob Can you elaborate on that
  • Walking civilians into the wall of light at Boyles Manor is a much easier way to get this trophy. Do a little prep and take out the upstairs and downstairs guards first, then go searching for civilians cowering away. Simply walk them up to but not into the wall of light, exit the body and they will stagger forward and explode into tiny chunks. Easy.
  • Just did it with the Boyle technique, and it is waaaayy easier. Just take out the upstairs guards, and the "music box" Overseers to set it up. Possess a cowering guest, and walk them to the grey tile line right before the Wall of Light. Cancel the possession and they'll fall into the Wall of Light. I would try this before you try the "guard shooting himself" method that's in the trophy description.
  • Fun facts to help anyone else going to this. Doing the Boyle Party mission is the easiest, but you CANNOT rewire the Wall of Light. Doing so voids any accidental kills in exchange for regular kills. This now means to get the trophy using the "Boyle" method, you can only use the guests as sacrifices since the guards and Boyle sisters are able to pass through the Wall unharmed. I also recommend using charms to increase your mana. :)
  • yes, The Lady Boyle method works. Just kill everyone on the party, then possess 5 guests and cancel possession right before the Wall of Light to kill them. Save before trying this as i only got the trophie on my second try i dont know why, also before killing everyone you can possess a rat so you can enter the tunnel to rewire the alarm for it to be faster. thanks
  • The Boyle method definitely works - but I think the key is to possess someone before you start killing the guards. Otherwise, unless I'm mistaken, I'm only finding 4 guests.
  • This method should be replaced by The Boyle mission one. Simpler and easier.
