How to unlock the Occult Carver achievement in Dishonored 2 - Definitive Guide
You will need to acquire some runes to unlock Bone Charm crafting power. Bonecharms require raw Whalebone which can be found around the levels, or can be achieved by breaking down other bonecharms. When you break down a bone charm, you learn the trait and can then make a new Bonecharm with it. This can allow for some very powerful charms when fully upgraded.
This is possible by saving, crafting a bone charm, or as many as you can make in one go, reloading and making more. It's cumulative that way. However I managed to craft 10 Bonecharms in a single PT anyway, and it's very beneficial to the gameplay with some of the more powerful combinations.
- Bonecharm Crafting
- Trait Synergy (Allows you to craft with the same trait x4)
Total cost of 4 runes.
It’s worth mentioning that you can break down bonecharms you have already found for raw whalebone. It requires 3 whalebone per bonecharm, if you choose two traits per creation (best option)
A new bonecharm requires a minimum of two powers and 3 bones, so you need a bit of a collection before you can really start to create any. However, the achievement is cumulative so you save, create as many as you can, the reload and repeat until you reach 10, when the achievement will unlock. If you make your save prior to buying the power you don't have to waste a rune on this if you don't want to, although with some upgrades you can create some powerful charms to match your play style.
This achievement is missable. If you neglect collecting enough Bonecharms over the course of your playthrough, you will not be able to craft the required amount.
Before you can even consider working on this achievement, you must first unlock the "Bonecharm Crafting" skill in the "Powers" tab of the character menu. This skill will set you back one Rune. Now open the "Bonecharms" tab of the character menu and you can use talents (obtained by dismantling Bonecharms) and raw whalebone (looted during missions) to craft these occult relics. There are varying levels of Bonecharms to craft, but you'll want to stick to the most basic of the three.
Please take note that this achievement is cumulative; if you want to earn this quickly, you can create a manual save, sacrifice all of your existing Bonecharms and Runes (for crafting materials), craft two or three Bonecharms, reload your save, and repeat the process until ten have been created.
NOTE: This achievement cannot be obtained on a "No Powers" playthrough since the "Powers" tab in the character menu will be unavailable, therefore disallowing you to choose the Bonecharm Crafting skill.
