How to unlock the Acrobat achievement in Dishonored 2 - Definitive Guide

As mentioned in FFX's guide, you need to first drop towards an enemy and then hit the attack button to kill the dude to count as an air assassination. You will see a downward stab of your sword which indicates that you pulled this off correctly.

You can do this very easily in Mission 01: A Long Day in Dunwall with Ramsey. As Ramsey finishes his conversation and climbs up the stairs, you can crouch on the upper railings and drop assassinate him. You can do this 10 times by saving before dropping on Ramsey and then reloading after performing the execution. Unlike D1, save scumming works like a charm.

Drop assassinations in Dishonored 2 include both kills and knock-outs. Whenever you get the opportunity, take out an opponent by dropping on them from above (hitting the button for kill/knock out, depending on your play style). You could easily complete the game without ever getting 10 (particularly if you are really focused on stealth and avoiding, rather than eliminating, enemies), but if you focus on getting these when you can, you'll also easily get 10 by about the fourth mission.

While falling towards an enemy, you must use the assassinate or attack button to perform a drop assassination. The timing is pretty forgiving, and you will be prompted to attempt a drop assassination/take down as part of the first mission, while escaping from Dunwall.

Note to bear in mind; I could not get this to unlock with drop takedowns, the non-lethal variant, and so I believe you must specifically assassinate. I know it says assassinate in the achievement description, but I was kind of hoping the non lethal variants would count.

This achievement can be earned at any time during your playthrough, specifically on the lethal High Chaos run.

You will be introduced to Drop Assassinations fairly early on in the game during Mission 1, A Long Day in Dunwall. While perched on a ledge on any kind (rooftop, railing, etc.), you can eliminate enemies who are below you by jumping off the ledge and falling on top of them. Right before you make contact with the enemy, a quick prompt will flash on the screen: to knock out or to kill.

There are several opportunities across all nine missions in the game to get this done, but do keep in mind that you must kill the enemies rather than knocking them out. The achievement will unlock once you have performed ten successful Drop Assassinations.

Any elevation will do, as long as you are slightly higher than the enemy.
Civilians in hostile territory also count.

The trophy is cumulative. Can be done on the same enemy, loading the save over and over again.
As an example, I did it in mission 7 - “A Crack in the Universe” through a save, at the very beginning of the “Backyard” location.

No need to waste time and reload saves. When passing through chaos, just when you are in an open battle with an enemy or several enemies, jump onto ANY elevation (anything will do, even a bedside table or chair, you can also jump while you are higher up the stairs when the enemy is climbing towards you) and jump from it on the enemy by pressing (attack), a special animation must go through. In the first missions you will get a trophy anyway if you follow this advice.
