How to unlock the Souvenirs achievement in Dishonored 2 - Definitive Guide
Mission 01: Samuel's Toy Boat
Located in the secret area where you retrieve your gun and mask.
Mission 02: Elite Guard Helmet
All you need to do for this is to eliminate an elite guard. Elite guards are those guards that are in red uniforms and can light your ass up with guns. You can get their helmet by either choking them out, or by murdering them. I prefer to do it by sword just to be safe, but you won't need to loot their bodies, you'll just automatically get it.
Mission 03: Syringe
To get this syringe, you need to take the nonlethal route for dealing with Dr. Hypatia. The syringe will not count as a souvenir if you kill her and go and pick it up. You must cure Hypatia. I will let you figure that shit out as it's a long process, and there are tons of videos showing you how to do so on YT.
Mission 04: Clockwork Soldier Head
Once you get to the Clockwork Mansion, you will notice that there are these really fuckin annoying mechs that you need to kill. To collect a head as a souvenir, just shoot one of their heads off via gun or crossbolt and proceed to make them explode. Do this once, and you will automatically get it without any looting. Just remember to take their head off before destroying them completely.
Mission 05: Witch Sword
If you enter Ashmore's office, you will notice some stairs with red carpet going up. Take two flights of those stairs to get to the top level of the observatory. Upon reaching the top, you will notice a glass case containing a certain sword. Smash and grab.
Mission 06: Corvo's Sword Trophy
This can be found in Corvo's old house which can be accessed via a boarded window. The trophy is located behind some bricks in one of the rooms.
Mission 06: Silvergraph Picture
This is found in the Silvergraph studios behind a locked door. The key to the door can be found where the Vice Overseer is located on a table.
Mission 07: Calendar
Once you receive the timepiece from the Outsider, switch to the past and you will notice a calendar beside a set of locked doors.
Mission 08: Gazelle
Found in the room where you capture Delilah's soul.
Mission 09: Emily's Doll
Some piece of shit asshole threw Emily's old doll into the fuckin toilet in the safe area where you could've stashed Ramsey's body >:(
Chapter 2: Knock out or kill and Elite Guard - Complete Mindy's side quest and use the car track. Wait for the Elite to walk off then kill/knock out the guard she was talking to. She'll wander the the bench,then wait for her to get up and take her out.
Chapter 3: You need the syringe from the non-lethal approach
Chapter 4: Take out a Clockwork soldiers head, then finish it off. I cannot confirm how this would work while pairing with the 'Silence' Trophy. I think you can go back and take one out after dealing with the target - I am attempting it on my current play through. EDIT: With non-lethal/stealth you can blink back up to the light above Jindosh's desk. Once there, lob a sticky grenade at the patrolling Clockwork. It won't kill it out right, but it will wake the second one on the floor. The one that was damaged will kill the new patrolling one; once that one is out of the way, toss a second sticky to take out the original. You'll stay undetected and still be able to acquire the object.
Chapter 5: The Broken Whalebone Sword is in a display case above where the target is - just to the right of the top of the stairs
For the next two it's best if you side with the Overseers to make life a lot easier:
Chapter 6: The Blade Verbena trophy is in Corvos home behind a wall in the bed room you can remove bricks from. You need powers & its above an alley on the back left side of the Overseers building if you are facing the front.
Chapter 6: For the second one you need to get the key from a small desk in the Vice Overseers main office then go to the Crones Hand and use the keep in the office on the second floor above the bar. There you will get a Silvergraph Studio Key and use it to open a shop in the neutral area [ near the metal dividers that block an archway; inside there is a Skiff Approaching Dockyard painting on the right wall. This does NOT count for the painting trophy!
Chapter 7: There is an 1849 Calendar that is in the past that is in the room with the Piano on a side table at the door.
Chapter 8: There is a Broken Gazelle Ornament on a table directly behind one of the main objectives.
Chapter 9: Go through the door on the back left side of the throne and head back to the Safe Room. Once there do back the same place where the first item was and you'll find the Mrs. Pilsen Doll in the toilet bowl.

This achievement is highly missable as it involves collecting unmarked souvenir items from each of the nine missions in the game. Every mission, with the exception of Mission 6, The Dust District, has one item to collect; Mission 6 has two items. Most of these souvenirs are physical objects you must pick up, while there are some that are rewarded upon killing a certain enemy or dealing with a target in a specific manner.
After collecting a souvenir item and completing that particular mission, the item will be placed in the display cabinet above your desk (inside your room) aboard the Dreadful Wale. Collectible progress is only saved when you trigger an auto-save or make a manual save; if you die without saving, you will have to recollect the item. With all of this in mind, refer to the checklist and video guide below for aid in finding all ten souvenirs.
