How to unlock the The Perfect Crime achievement in Dishonored: Death of the Outsider - Definitive Guide

The hardest part of this achievement is getting past the arc pylon and the wall of light once you've made it into the bank and knocked everyone out.

Easiest root in is just to buy the knock out gas from the black market dealer. You can skirt around the outside of the map to get to her with very few distractions. Keep to the pipes behind the salon to avoid the dogs, foresight through the bars of the boat in the waterway and grab the painting while you are back there, and then just wait for the guard patrolling the area near the black market shop to turn his back.

I find that going through the bridge like rooms between roads is the easiest, as you play the floor is lava over to the bank. Keep to the right hand side of the bank for easiest access, watch out for the dogs as they are jerks. But by using the lamp post and that long balcony I was able to sneak over to the loft. IT WILL RUN OUT OF JUICE, DONT TURN IT ON YET. Instead, pull the whale oil out, hide near the entrance, wait for the guard to wander back and talk about his kiss (foresight is your best friend), then grab him and knock him out. I hid him behind the lift, in the garden. Watch out for the dog hanging out by the whale oil machine, you can easily hit him from that balcony you used to get over there, just wait until after you've taken care of the guard to get him otherwise it gets pretty hairy.

The guards on the roof shouldn't be an issue, they are easiest enough to spot and keep track of with foresight. Put the poison in the shoot, and head inside.

DO NOT TOUCH THE GUARDS! They need to be asleep from the Magic Juice, and knocking them out will not count. Sometimes it is just safer to bamf over them, then walk to close.

Make your way to the main level, and open the door to the hardest part from the menus behind the tellers desks.

Keep to the lamps to avoid being killed by arc pylons, they are not your friend, and then be careful of the clockwork soldiers in the next area. You can easily get to high ground as soon as you get through the door from the arc pylon room, and I recommend it.

From the far right hand side wait for the second clockwork soldier to head to the basement, then send your farsighted down to the main level, through the wall of light, up the stairs, and then by the clear windows. You can now bamf over there with your sweet moves.

Head up to the third floor to grab the info you need from the office, then bamf onto the elevator platform, open that hatch up, and then head up to the top level. Watch out for the hanging arc pylon, but do bamf over to the desk you can see on the other side. Inside the drawer is a note and a level tool. Look back towards the arc pylon, and bamf into that open hatch on the floor. Drop down onto the vault and let that thing fly. It seems silly to drop the vault, as these dudes wake up if you open a cash drawer next to them, but for some reason crashing through two levels won't do it.

Pop those bad boys open for a different achievement (011,235,813,455,891) and then grab your prize.

Once you have made it to the roof again the achievement will pop. If you want to loot, and don't want to have to worry about all the bad stuff, I would just pop out real fast, grab that crazy rare achievement (at least at the time of this writing), and then go back inside and turn everything off or reprogram. If you do want to do that, be warned that the clockwork soldiers will wake people up if you just unplug the wall of light, so don't do that unless you want to, I guess. And the lightning in the basement is really easy to avoid if you just maneuver along those open windows to the very last one. The code guy that you don't need anymore is in there, as are all of the lockers. Steal from that doctor for your third time (sadly no achievement for that), and then do as you will.

The most important thing is to take your time, and save often.

Hope that helps you out!

Good guide man. Want to 100% confirm it doesn't matter, at all, how you get to the bank (I killed people without being spotted as I was going for Shadow) as long as you use the tear gas through the vent for when you get inside. It's only within the bank that stealth matters in regards to this achievement if you're not trying for Shadow this run. IMO this achievement is also the most fund AND easiest way of completing this section anyway.

On another note, this was probably the most fun achievement of the year so far for me. Loved this mission.

Great guide. Worth adding you don't have to go back to the roof, you can exit any way you like. I left through the front door and it popped just fine.

Just an FYI - you can't get this in original game + since you lose your ability to place markers

By the way, if you go into the water and take the pipe that's highlighted by the quest marker, it'll dump you into the sewer section with a nearby door that leads back to Upper Cyria. Use this door and as soon as the game loads in the achievement will pop. You can then go back into the bank and make your way through for looting purposes.

Back inside the Bank with your back to the door, take the path to the right (with the "No Trespassing" sign) and there's a chain that leads back up into the rest of the bank.

Just an FYI. You CAN get this on OG+, you just need to use a hag pearl to open the security office door while essentially standing on the crown mouldings on the opposite side the door, is since you can’t Displace.

I don't know if this still works (I raised the vault to Michaels' office instead) because now days dropping the vault definitely wakes at least a guard and a civilian in the security office.
This may have been a rare achievement when the guide was written but as of August 2021, it has a TA ratio of 2.06 which I think is surprisingly low because it's not easy.

I just got the achievement by dropping the vault in August 2021. Not saying Gilbert is wrong, but it worked for me. Probably just to be safe save before you drop it. Also, the achievement took about 60 seconds after leaving the building to unlock for me.

The achievement will still unlock even when the guards wake up after the vault crashes down.

I've tried both crashing the vault and sending it to Dolores's office, didn't touch a single security device IN THE ENTIRE MISSION, and left everyone alone. No cheevo pop either time...
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

For the record, stealth before entering the bank doesn't matter if you're only going for this achievement, though it obviously will if you're trying to get Shadow as well. If you only want this one, the stealth only matters once you're actually inside the bank.

I'm embarrassed to admit how long I was trying to figure out a way around the wall of light before I realized I could use Foresight and Displacement to get through those windows. I'd already given up, made an extra save file so I could go back and do it, then finished the mission. Then I went to bed and as a went to lay down it occurred to me to try that. laugh

Other solutions don't let you know how to get this done on Original Game+ but it can be done either way. This solution will help you no matter what playthrough you are on.

Lets break down the description: "Emptied the vault without tampering with any security systems, leaving everyone unharmed and asleep."

First of all: you must leave everyone unharmed and asleep inside of the Vault. To do this, get the Poppy Tincture. Either 750 Gold from the black market or at the auction (same spot where you can drop the target through the trap door in the previous level). Take it to the roof by adding whale oil to the lift (If you are facing the entrance to the Bank at ground level, the lift is to the right and the room with whale oil is to the left). Once on the roof, insert the Poppy Tincture into the vent system and enter the Bank however you would like but the easiest at this point would be one of the two entrances from the roof. Once inside, all humans will be asleep and if you don't make any noise (run, walk or bump into a sleeping person, open cash registers, fire weapons) they will remain asleep. Make sure to leave the guards sleeping, knocking them out will void the achievement. There are a few mechanical guards from Dishonored 2 inside but these guys can only see in front of them and can easily be avoided.

Second: you must empty the vault. This is the whole purpose of the mission and can easily be done by bringing the vault to the office and looting it there or dropping it to the sewers will NOT void this achievement. For the entire time inside the bank, make saves often that you can fall back to if you mess up and not lose too much time.

Last and hardest part to figure out: Do no tamper with any security system in the bank. The buttons to open locked doors do not count against this, but you cannot disable the wall of light OR disable/retract the arc pylons OR turn off electric floors. Just displace or blink above the arc pylons using the lights to get past them.
Playing first play-through with Displace: Use Foresight to walk through the Wall of Light and set a marker on the second floor to use displace to warp up to.
Playing on Original Game+ with Blink: This is a bit trickier but should still be easy. Once you get to the room with the wall of light, you can notice there is a locked door on the second level with a window that overlooks the big room. There is a sleeping guard here that presses the controls to move the vault. That is where we need to get to. Move to the back of the room and blink on top of a speaker that is mounted on a wall, then blink onto the small ledge near that guard's window. You can then press a button to move the vault by reaching through the window AND shoot an Electric Bolt at the button to open the door to his area. Other gadgets will make noise so make sure to have one of these saved or purchased from the Black Market. That small ledge near his window is very shallow and you can fall easily from there. Once you get into the locked door you need to traverse through the electric floor area using Blink. The only tricky part with that for me was realizing you could blink on top of an open door in the hallway.

*If this solution helped you in some way, please vote positively. If you think it needs improvement, please let me know how in a private message or by leaving a comment.*

Very well written solution that helped me greatly. Side note that you can also use displacement to get up to the ledge to then access the Security Room if you are having trouble with the wall of light like I was.

Can confirm this Original+ solution! It works and is super easy.

Like Argonaut said, just blink to the speakerphone on the back wall, blink to the ledge where the office is, you can lean in and press the button, and then shoot your electrical shot at the door and open that door. Jump down and blink up to the other side and go through the door you just opened and continue on.

Easy! Just popped the chieve today doing this method

The first thing you need to do to prepare for this is to put the Poppy Tincture in the vent on the roof of the bank, accessed via the painter's lift.

Once you are up there, if you get seen it does not count against this trophy.

Inside the bank, you want to do as little exploring as possible, though you can always go back inside once you get this trophy.

Don't touch any guards, use Displace to pass them by, and avoid the robots. On the second floor, Displace down from the balcony in the office area to open the security doors. On the first floor, use the door partway down the stairs and stay behind the desks to avoid the Arc Pylon. Once you get to the other end, Displace up to the light and then down to the spot against the door so you can quickly enter it. Displace up to the balcony and use your Foresight ability from there to pass through the Wall of Light and place a marker on the other side of a window on the second floor there. Go up to the third floor and loot the place. Press the button and get the items there. Now, you need to get into the hatch on top of the elevator and Displace up the shaft to the next floor. The door up the stairs will be locked. This next bit may take a few tries. Put yourself up against the left side of the doorframe and Displace into the area with the desk ahead. Get the lever from the right drawer and quickly move to the room on the left. You definitely want to save here. Set your Displace target inside the hole in the floor. You'll know you did it right when the silhouette of Billie is pretty far into the hole. Now, just drop onto the vault and loosen all four brakes. Use the key to open the vault, use the dual keys to open the box inside and then swim out of the area to earn the trophy.

Its Just a Tip! The other guide is fine , I wanted to make a point that others have not mentioned!

I found that you CAN NOT unlock "The Perfect Crime" achievement in "Original Game+" run! So when you are on your "Good Old Time" Playthrough keep that in mind!
The reason is that you can not pass the Wall of Light without disabling it! I mean that wall of light near the vault and clockwork soldiers.

If you know a trick for passing the wall of light please correct me.

We use the roof and put the guards to sleep; the necessary remedy can be obtained at the auction, at the same time completing the Big-time Player trophy.
  • We don’t make noise, we don’t touch the guards, the security system or the sentries
  • We go down to the bottom floor (-1), find a sleeping person there with the necessary codes
  • On the second floor, press the button and ask to let us in (Billy will tell you the verification code herself)
  • We move further along the second floor to the control panel and raise the storage to the 3rd floor
  • The awake guard will be surprised, so we answer him in the microphone that this is a check
  • We go to the third floor, at the table in the office we press the button, open the cache and take the key
  • We unlock the vault and open the safes from left to right: 011, 235, 813, 455, 891, and then use the keys to open the treasured knife
The trophy will drop when you exit the bank.

It is possible to do it in NG+. If the ball doesn't work, try a non-lethal arrow.

Using sleeping gas is also acceptable, provided you don't wake anyone up.

What you need to remember is that you cannot turn off any security systems and you cannot touch anyone. We do everything as usual until the moment of putting the bank to sleep (allowed). Next, we open the steel doors and go through until the moment of the first meeting with the robot and the light wall. To bypass the light wall, you need to use the 'ghost' skill and place a mark on the second floor of the room with the light wall. When you place the mark, use the teleport and everything will go like clockwork.

Take the elevator to the third floor and take the master key from the director's safe. Through the elevator hatch cover, you rise to the fourth floor - the technical department. At the end of the room there are two drawers, one of them contains a wrench. He grabs the key and goes down into the hatch, there we pick out the bolts and drop the vault. Using the codes, we open the remaining safes in the vault and take the blade. The trophy will drop when you leave the location.

Most importantly, you must not touch protective systems and people. With proper skill, you can speedrun in a couple of minutes. Don’t forget, go around the first light wall with the ghost skill (run to the second floor as a ghost and place a mark) and teleport through this mark.

I tried a ton of methods, only this one helped.
