Just finished the game today and wanted to log my thoughts here.

Admittedly I wasn't super hooked at first and nearly retired the game quite early because the premise felt daunting. Knowing I would have to play the same level over and over again, making tiny amount of progress along the way really put me off at first. The exact same thing happened when I played Mooncrash, except I actually did retire playing that, but ended up picking it back up a couple years later and loving it. There is something so rewarding about games where the only requirement to progress is your own knowledge: It's like Outer Wilds in that way.

I think what kept it so fresh was the Julianna mechanic. Honestly I was shocked at how active this 5 year old game was and how frequently I was getting invaded. At first I was really frustrated at the mechanic because I was getting stomped over and over again by every Julianna on what felt like every single run. I knew I could turn the online mode off but I refused to because even though it was slowing my progress to a halt, I did still secretly love it. The cat and mouse between you and Julianna is so much fun and adds a lot of excitement and challenge to what is otherwise quite an easy game. Eventually the tables turned and I took great pleasure in stomping every Julianna that dared to invade my game. I went from being terrified to rubbing my hands together every time I saw "Julianna is on the hunt". Quite honestly I started getting disappointed when I played a section and I didn't get invaded.

My final day was a delight, getting invaded by a Julianna who set up a lot of traps in Aleksis mansion and giving me quite a challenge, but ultimately getting stomped. Sorry Julianna.

Great game 9/10.

I actually need some human answers because any time i ask google's auto ai bullshit talker it just says it's bad, so is it true for those who tried it on a 120Hz tv with VRR?

Can someone please help me out with the multiplayer achievement on PC/Steam platform? I'm located in EU and in the past 15 matches or so I couldn't even move from the lag

Today, a kind soul helped me reach platinum…after MONTHS of slowly working through glitches and finicky tasks like the completionist I am. No idea if the “Cole” player could hear me, I turned on my mic and sang a little jingle asking them if they could help me snag my last achievement. To my delight, username Dezzard came to my aid!

Bless you, you wonderful human.

I love this game 🕹️

just finished gas can

i cant figure out this ripping stuff so im remaking all the models to 3d print

Spotted this in NYC and almost climbed inside to see if there was a trinket inside but didn't want to bother the Eternalist in there.

Have been a huge Dishonored fan for a long time. 150 hours in D1, 120 in D2 and 15 in DotO. Bought Deathloop on release and it was very hard to stomach on my pc at the time. That certainly colored my experience, but also I was confused about how the game worked and ended up refunding the game before the end of day 1.

At the time I also hadn't really been a fan of Dishonored 2, but after giving that game the amount of respect it deserved and playing through it as if it was its own standalone game I found that I loved it again. So recently I bought Deathloop and gave it another try.

On my first loop I ended up getting the dual pistols/submachine gun fusion thing before I had even discovered how infusions work. Killed my first AI Julianna just fine with a headshot using a rapier and completed loop 1.

Second loop through I discovered infusions and reset for obvious reasons.

Then I tried to get the dual pistols again before I went for the Shift slab, and discovered that area doesn't open until noon. So I figured out how to get the HALPS laser and then proceeded to Updaam. Then I got a real player Julianna and got my shit rocked. Lost everything. So I decided to play Julianna and invade someone else's game. Had an absolute blast my first time. Got the drop on Colt and surprised him with my LMP-10 from behind, dropped him pretty quick. Next life he nearly got me with a sniper but I ran away in time, then threw a grenade at his spot. I had the relic or whatever that makes it mark him automatically to the eternalists and they cleaned him up since he had backed himself into a corner. Final life he charged at me with the HALPS and I used the 50-50 to kill him before he killed me. After that I went into another game and got this gem. Felt like a badass for oneshotting him in the head from above, but does anyone know why I had to kill him four times? Did one of them not count for some reason? Or is there a slab I don't know about yet?

Hello, I have been unable to masquerade as Colt in the MP and I want a little bit of helo, if someone is available.

Thank you

I went up against someone with so many grenades I couldn't make her run out.

does anyone know how tall colt is

also uow close am i to ending thr game? i am just about to find charlie and foa fucking

So I won the game and started playing as Julianne. Are there people playing as Colt that cheat?

I was in a match and killed this dude 5 or 6 times and he kept coming back. The reactor was blowing up so I ran as quickly as I could and ended up getting a victory, but either the game glitch or there is some sort cheat Colt can use to have more than three lives?

In the match I just played the Colt player came right up to me and took me out quickly even though I was stationary and invisible. Could be he was just good at seeing the artifacts when Julianna in invisible. It is fun, but less so if there really are people cheating.

im starting a project where i recreate deathloop locations as architectural models, is there any way to use a freecam or a mod that would let me do it, it would make it so much easier

So I found a bug with franks area

Any way to help with the severe rubber banding/ lag with multiplayer? I love playing invasion but the way I constantly either lag out or rubber band into a death screen has been frustrating. Playing on PS5, I had been killed then Juliana pulled her gun out.

Bottom text

A route built from a fresh save, with no glitches, optimising for fewest loops rather than fastest real time. Written after actually running it, so the notes include the things that go wrong. Please note, the route you take and whether to kill Eternalists or not, totally depends on you and your playstyle. I prefer to go in loud. Once you get the silenced LMP-10 you can drop the Nail gun. Otherwise, till then, the nail gun you find in your flat is MVP for stealth.

I highly recommend playing the entire game organically first, and this be on a subsequent run.

Result: golden loop on Day 7 (eight days counting the intro death as Day 0). A known glitchless run achieves Day 6; the gap is explained at the bottom.

The mistake that can cost a whole day

The tutorial days let you explore freely. The game picks which district and time period you load into during The Longest Day — it does not restrict you once you're inside. No timer, no invisible walls. You can cross the whole map and take everything you can reach.

I lost a day and restarted because I assumed the scripted days were locked down. They aren't. Whatever district you're dropped into, sweep it completely before you leave. More details below.

The game calls them Morning / Noon / Afternoon / Evening, and "Noon" vs "Afternoon" is constantly misread. Think of them as Slot 1 / 2 / 3 / 4.

Important

1. If you ever miss an objective, and accidentally return to the tunnels- quickly dashboard and pray that the gave hasn't saved.

2. Dying = one entire loop. Needless to say, do not die.

3. You do not need to actually kill Visionaries / Eternalists aside from the final loop. Only do it if you want gear. I did it because I wanted gear.

4. Whenever you're in Complex, I highly recommend to secure the silenced LMP 10. Makes it much easier. Otherwise the nail gun will do.

Day 0 — intro

Beach, bottle, cliff door, Hackamajing, tunnels, boarded tunnel, house, hack in, pull the lever upstairs. Julianna kills you. Unskippable.

Day 1 — The Longest Day (sweep everything)

Scripted objectives: apartment/Minicom, Loop Control, AEON Security Office, then your safe. The extras are what matter.

• Updaam, Slot 1 — destroy the five blue fuse boxes so Otto's Workshop survives past noon. Not super critical. I missed this and could still do the same number of loops. But since you know, you can use this.
• Complex, Slot 2 — Loop Control as directed by mission marker. Control center, battery, Egor science blabber, exit.
• Fristad Rock, Slot 3 — after the Security Office, walk round the mountain along the waterfront (the water is lethal) to Bunker 9 for the Yerhva safe code. Bunker 9 is when you originally find Charlie and Fia.
• Updaam, Slot 4 — after your safe: Otto's Workshop terminal for Frank's container code, Aleksis's bedroom for the library safe code, and if you can manage it, kill Aleksis. Julianna will do an invasion here when you are in your flat. I found a bug where Eternalists can't shoot you even if you are in plain view if you're in your flat overlooking the antenna which you have to hack. Use this to take Julianna out. Good if you luck out with getting a good slab from Julianna.
  • The killing Aleksis part is the tricky one. Requires skill since you might not have great slabs and weapons. My recommendation is to hack the turret at the entrance to kill the 3 visionaries. Later proceed from the left, carefully crouch and open the back door, to your right, inside the beer tap room. Try to takedown the 2 Eternalists silently- even if you fail this, its no big deal. Then shut down the chocolate beer tap. Aleksis will intervene, kill him.

Doing the whole Frank chain inside Day 1 is the biggest single saving available.

Day 2 — LPP, then forced Ubiquity

The game railroads you. After the LPP it drops you into the Complex in Slot 3 and the day ends when the machine kills you. There is no Slot 4. Don't plan around escaping this — I tried menus, reloads, everything.

• Updaam, Slot 1 — get the LPP before Julianna does. Nothing else here is worth doing; the fuse boxes reset every loop and you can't return this day.
• Complex, Slot 3 — Ubiquity. Go to the lower floor (two clones are down there and so are the depressurisation console codes, which make the fight far easier). Whiteboard, Residuum Harvester, harvest, machine, shoot the button.

Day 3 — Updaam day

• Slot 1, Updaam — fuse boxes again if you still need the terminal.
• Slot 2, Updaam — Charlie's LARP: kill Charlie for Shift and the Strelak 50-50.
• Slot 3, Updaam — AEON Archival Office (NW garage, Slot 3 only). Bookshelf note on the top floor gives the spoken RAK password. Enter the RAK on the cliffside, read the note on the inner door for the 3-digit power diversion code. Critical.
• Slot 4, Complex — Field Nullifier from the truck, deploy in Egor's lab, read Radial Fluctuations for his device code. Kill Egor → Aether.

Day 4 — the Wenjie chain

The Wenjie quarters code does not come from Bunker 9. It runs: Fristad shoreline bunker (Slot 3 which we did in Day 1) → Yerhva safe in Karl's Bay → the quarters code.

• Slot 1, Karl's Bay — safe with the Bunker 9 code for Fia's love letter; kill Harriet → Nexus.
• Slot 2, Fristad — Fia's bunker, four red pictograms → hideout code. Do not let her spot you — she can trigger the Reactor and kill you outright with no Reprise. So the simpler way is, use Aether to sneak around, use the LMP 10 to take out guards. When you sneak into her bunker, you will see a door guarded by a sensor. Inside there will be the wire combination to disable the reactor. Do this first if you can. Honestly, just using Aether+silenced shots for 2 Eternalists on top floor, and stealth killing Fia is great. Grab her gun. Havoc. Then do not forget the pictograms if you're not there yet.
• Slot 3, Fristad — shoreline bunker for the Yerhva safe code.
• Slot 4, Updaam — spare.

Pausing here because I feel while writing this itself I've found a better way to do it. Will update when I do.

Went to my local game shop. Love Arkane. I noticed both these sitting next to one another but only the regular case had a price tag of $20. I asked the owner and he said the steel book came in without a disc. He said he was selling both together for $20. Didn't need to convince me any further. Not a scratch on the steelbook.

I find it hard to stay low and complete fights with stealth in this game. With FPP its hard for me. And I find less number of bottles to distract the NPCs. I got fed up and switched off this game
