Dishonored Nonlethal targets: Campbell, Pendletons, Boyle and the Lord Regent
Find the required setup for major alternate target outcomes; story spoilers included.
Edition covered
Original 2012 Corvo campaign with original PC publisher pictures. The Knife of Dunwall, The Brigmore Witches, Dunwall City Trials and Dishonored 2 have different content and are excluded.
Campbell needs the Heretic’s Brand route
Learn about the branding procedure and gain access to the interrogation area. Campbell must be unconscious for the alternate solution; merely sparing him without completing the objective does not finish the mission.
| Target | Required lead | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| High Overseer Campbell | Branding information and interrogation room | Use the Heretic’s Brand on unconscious Campbell |
| Pendleton twins | Slackjaw’s request chain | Arrange Slackjaw’s nonlethal solution |
| Lady Boyle | Party clues and the interested guest | Identify and deliver the correct unconscious sister |
| Lord Regent | Broadcast operator and safe recording | Broadcast the incriminating evidence |
The Pendleton solution comes through Slackjaw
The nonlethal route depends on Slackjaw’s requests and the information connected to the art dealer’s safe. Complete the chain and confirm the agreement instead of reaching the twins and improvising a knockout.
| Situation | Check | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Target still marked active | The alternate objective may be unfinished | Sparing alone is not the same as resolving |
| Boyle color seems familiar | Reconfirm identity this run | The target assignment varies |
| Slackjaw has not offered the deal | Complete his requested information chain | The alternate outcome has prerequisites |
| Campbell is unconscious | Carry safely to the required location | A knockout alone does not perform branding |
| Recording obtained | Return to the broadcast controls | The evidence must be used |
Identify the correct Boyle first
The target sister’s identity varies between playthroughs. Gather clues at the party and speak with the relevant guest before arranging the basement handover; a remembered color from another run is unreliable.
Expose the Lord Regent’s recording
The broadcast-control route uses evidence from the Lord Regent’s safe. Speak with the broadcast operator, obtain the recording and use the broadcaster to expose him rather than merely leaving him alive.
