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

The riddle never changes, only the placement of the details (people, heirlooms, etc.) Because of this, where each detail is mentioned always lines up with each other across multiple playthroughs. Color, city, and drink do not matter, so no number or emphasis is given to them.

The order matters so 1 will be the far left pair and 5 will be the far right pair.

At the dinner party were [names of all 5 women]

The women sat in a row. They all wore different colors and [PERSON 3] wore a jaunty [color] hat. [PERSON 1] was at the far left, next to the guest wearing a [color] jacket. The lady in [color] sat left of someone in [color]. I remember that [color] outfit because the woman spilled her [drink] all over it. The traveler from [city] was dressed entirely in [color]. When one of the dinner guests bragged about her [HIERLOOM 2], the woman next to her said they were finer in [city], where she lived.

So [PERSON 5] showed off a prized [HEIRLOOM 5], at which the lady from [city] scoffed, saying it was no match for her [HEIRLOOM 3]. Someone else carried a valuable [HEIRLOOM 1] and when she saw it, the visitor from [city] next to her almost spilled her neighbor's [drink]. [PERSON 2] raised her [drink] in toast. The lady from [city], full of [drink], jumped up onto the table falling onto the guest in the center seat, spilling the poor woman's [drink]. Then [PERSON 4] captivated them all with a story about her wild youth in [city].

In the morning there were four heirlooms under the table: [names of 4 heirlooms].

But who owned each?
Heirloom 4 will be the remaining heirloom.

This occurs in the Dust District Mission. Note that it is possible to figure out the combination purely from the Note in front of the door, this guide will not tell you how to go about it as it is different for every person and every play through.

Make a save once you reach the door to Stiltons house, and make sure you do not over ride this save. You then want to complete either the Howlers mission to capture Vice Overseer Byrne, or complete the Overseers Mission to capture Paolo. Both of which are deep inside their factions base on the map. Though it is obviously possible to do it stealthily and to do it non lethally, it technically does not matter as we will be reloading.

Once you have taken the body of either of these two, to their opposing faction leader, that leader will give you the code to the door. You will want to either note down or take a picture of this code and then you will reload your save and input this code at the door. The code doesn't not change if you reload a previous save, so we're being a little sneaky with the game in that regard.

here is the simple solution. As long as the format stays the same and it only shifts the details, just plug and go from your version. This is the order of which they go in the door, and its only the needed info:

"__person__ was at the far left"
"someone else carried a valuable __item__ and when she saw it..."

"__person__ raised her __drink__ in toast"
"when one of the guests bragged about her __item__..."

"They all wore difference colors and __person__ wore a jaunty __color__"
"at which the lady from __place__ scoffed, saying it was no match for her __item__"

"Then __person__ captivated them all with a story..."
*last remaining item*

"so __person__ showed off a prized __item__"

Please let me know if this doesn't work for you, but I have tried it against multiple runs and it worked fine, so hopefully its all good.

You could do this the hard way of actually solving the Jindosh riddle (it's randomized for every play through with many, many combinations to brute force). For those who want a fun try at it, gamecrate.com created this Logic Puzzle helper: goo.gl/9JfUy8

OR!

Create a quicksave. Kidnap/kill one of the leaders (I did the overseer) and take his body to the other side. Deliver the body, receive the answer to the door, and revert the save. Go back to the door and input the code. Eureka! You're officially a genius (by beating the system)

This achievement can be earned during Mission 6, The Dust District.

During Mission 6, The Dust District, your main objective will require you to crack the Jindosh lock that is blocking your advance to Aramis Stilton's manor; however, given the intense nature of the logic riddle that bars the door, you are tasked with obtaining the solution from the Howlers or the Overseers. While it may seem logical to drop a manual save, obtain the solution from either faction, and then reload the save to input the solution and unlock the door, that is not needed at all.

Thanks to Decaying Dead, you can follow the fool-proof solution below in order to crack the lock without the use of save manipulation. Each line item pair correlates to a single column of solutions when looking at the lock on the door. Simply plug in your riddle's "person" or "item" in the solution's bolded spot, and you should have no issues.

"__person__was at the far left."
"someone else carried a valuable __item__ and when she saw it..."

"__person__raised he __drink__in toast"
"when one of the guests bragged about her__item__..."

"They all wore difference colors an __person__ wore a jaunty__color__..."
"...at which the lady from __place__scoffed, saying it was no match for her__item__"

"Then__person__captivated them all with a story..."
*last remaining item*

"so__person__showed off a prized__item__"

Once the riddle has been solved, provided you solved it using the method above or via save manipulation (though, really, the above method is much faster), the achievement will unlock.

Using the following chart, it should be pretty easy to solve. Lady 1 means the first lady mentioned in the clue and Heirloom 1 means the first heirloom. The other information is extraneous.

Lady 1 - Heirloom 3
Lady 2 - Heirloom 4
Lady 3 - Heirloom 2
Lady 4 - Heirloom 1
Lady 5 - Heirloom 5

The riddle is random and does not have one answer. You can spend time creating a logic grid yourself or use the picture (Substitute the meanings of your riddle in the underlined places):

Following my advice you will receive the "Eureka!" trophy. and plus 2 more trophies: “Wailers Forever” and “Loyalty to the Abbey.” In addition, you can get another trophy - “Triple Murder” (if you have already killed Paolo 1 time in the 4th mission on the black market. Now killing him 2 more times will get this achievement).

The riddle is actually very interesting and I recommend trying to solve it yourself. To do this, take a piece of paper and draw out a table with five columns. The top line will contain names, the second - objects, the third - colors, the fourth - cities, the fifth - drinks. This table will be the main one, write down everything there as it should be. Also make a second table and write down all the names on top in any order. The bottom rows will follow the same principle as in the first table. In the second table, write what belongs to which decanter. And so, re-read the text over and over again and write down the facts. And gradually the tables will be filled. It took me about 20 minutes to solve the whole riddle and open the lock.

We make a save in front of the lock and go look for the password. When we found the password, we make a skin, (or write it down) we ship and set the password PS The passwords are different every time!
