Dishonored - Fighting Daud on Low Chaos

[@midnightanimal6973]

I find it fascinating that daud wants to face you head on and told his assassins not to interfere. and it's also cool that this is canon in dishonored's mai story line

[@therealwarzone9364]

In low chaos daud will call off his assassins, in high chaos he will bring every single one.

[@ComputerPile]

Actually, the reason he chooses to fight you alone... *spoilers ahead* Is because in the dlc he has a duel against himself, his assassin's, and Delilah that ultimately leads him to save Emily. He knows Corvo will never know what actually happened and he realizes what he's done. In high Chaos it's basically no regrets.

[@Johnston1968]

it's a morality play - Corvo is not an assassin - he is the Royal Protector, trying to clear himself. He will not kill - and that is what Daud realizes - he even admits it.

[@darkhoodchief]

He chickens out in high chaos and asks his assasins for assistance. Maybe he got scared by the fact that his informant told him that Corvi killed so many people.

[@knivy6160]

I don't even own dishonored 2 or death of the outsider yet, but i feel kind of neutral about it tbh. Like they kind of had to make an indirect sequel to dishonored other wise the story and lore of the first game would have felt pointless, but I feel they could have mad something even greater if they made a whole new story in a whole new area, and having characters like corvo and daud referenced by the outsider every now and then.

[@johnathangrishaw3096]

Frazzle Dazzle it makes sense if you think about it. Daud became an assassin because the Outsider gave him his power, and he knew nothing else. The Outsider knew it was a very high possibility that would happen and let hundreds die because he was bored. Daud looks at some one who uses powers very much like his own for good and is inspired, but realizes if Corvo hadnt done that he'd have destroyed half Dunwall. Daud realizes the Outsider will continue giving his mark out and lead to thousands and thousands of deaths just for his amuesment. He also never refers to the outsider as human, so in his mind killing the Outsider is like destroying a meteor to save the earth from destruction.

[@GZilla311]

The book makes sense of it. Basically, he believes everything he did is the Outsider's fault. He refuses to accept responsibility for what he's done. It's why he's still a villain while Billie can be better because she admits it's just PEOPLE not some god TELLING them to do it.

[@alalvarez7301]

Really shows how far the writing has fallen. Fuck the new series.

That and how they went out of their way to snuff Daud's character as a whole while trying to hype us for a new game with some generic cult or something. I don't care about this outsider, do you think I wanna play as him in some stupid revenge story or something in a third game? No way, Jose.

I have. Thank you for your comment though. :)

[@projectpems8304]

I would disagree. "This is my fight" implies that he believes that this is his punishment and his alone. In High Chaos, he shows no courtesy and does everything he can to survive. Both are forms of dealing with your punishment, but one is meaningful and the other is out of well hidden fear.

[@toazel8679]

Yes, I noticed. On my first run I wanted to a high chaos run so I could learn the game's mechanics and stuff. It was hard to kill Daud but I managed to do it by walking into the room and blink towards him slicing his head off. Afterwards using bend time to escape from his assasins.

[@Sanguiluna]

I don't think it's that he doesn't see Low Chaos Corvo as a threat, it's all a matter of honor, which is one of the predominant themes in the game (hence the title): Low Chaos Corvo is a warrior who despite the efforts of so many to strip him of his honor, still fought and carried himself with honor; Daud recognizes this, so he fights him honorably, likely because he sees in Corvo the man HE used to be before he let his power corrupt him. But High Chaos Corvo is a cold remorseless killer who has freely cast aside honor in favor of revenge and bloodlust (much like Daud's path), so likewise Daud proceeds to fight using his normal honorless means.

Fun fact, facing Daud and Sparing him is Canon based on the book. Basically, Corvo sees a statue of Jessamine Kaldwin and believes that she would choose mercy over revenge. Bonus fun fact, based on the books and excluding Kingsparrow Island (since I can't remember the fates of Teague, Treavor and Havelock) the only 3 Targets that are killed are Morgan & Custis Pendleton and Hiram Burrows. Campbell becomes a Weeper (it's debatable whether he actually dies or gets cured after the Low Chaos Ending), Waverly Boyle is taking away by a man who loves her.

And in the end the only thing he achieved was bringing more death and misery to already sad and miserable world. Low Chaos is especially heart-wrenching because he realized, he could always follow the path Corvo did. But Daud was too weak and cowardly to do so. Even in his journal he asked himself a question is the world is rotten or is he?

I guess I hit him at an awkward angle because he just died instantly and I was just crying with laughter

[@cameronroy2129]

I thought that death of the outsider was dumb as well considering the outsider does nothing life doesn't already do by giving people power whether or not they deserve it (aka social status, wealth, inherited business while people like Corvo exist making something out of himself with his own skills and hard work and you choose if even humans like him can be corrupted). Hes a completely neutral power I don't think he deserves to be killed or lose his powers but the death of the outsider makes it so the context changes and hes no longer a human turned demigod hes somehow suffering (he looks fine to me, I dont want a new asshole to show up and be worse than him either way) which I dont see why it happened other than to have a narrative where you need to strip him of his powers. It does ignore the point of the games in that you dont need to use it to kill people, and Daud never had to do what he did living as the leader of a super-powered gang of assasins I would have hired those dudes to work under the crown, need a new spy master anyways and having eyes and ears an elite squad working directly under the royal protector who knew he needed someone to protect from the shadows while he watches Emily from the light. Literally would have stopped Dishonored 2 and the Duke of Serkonos, would have stopped all the gangs in the city, would have gotten rid of the corruption in the city guard and overseers. Hell it might even get rid of the need for overseers if they tracked witches. That would have stopped the kidnapping of children they do ... Have them all die at the beginning of 2 or have them hidden throughout the city as operatives hiding as civilians to help Corvo or Emily somehow. Isn't this all better than them roaming wild? They were all loyal to the point one captured by overseers killed himself with a hidden needle of lethal poison. Anyways Daud goes back on what he learned when he says "I've had enough killing" and realizing that the outsider isn't to blame for giving him power? You wanted power and got it you are the sole person to blame. The void will always exist and it will in the lore just find a new outsider and maybe this one will think twice about helping humans or being neutral to them ...

[@MrJefferson07]

I agree with most of what you say but there is nothing to blame in killing, because killing humans is an obligation for Justice.

[@RipleySawzen]

You don't have to kill the Outsider, you know. I prefer not to.

[@cameronroy2129]

@@RipleySawzen a year later huh, well I think I noted that yeah you don't have to kill him but both options take a hardline stance on a neutral deity. I'm pretty sure my point here is that the motivation for Daud is downright character assasination (ironic assasination of an assasin) but this also goes for the outsider as well. The plot runs on retconning the outsider and the history of the games as well but also in how the outsider was just the incarnation of the void basically, the representation of it and for all that he wasn't really that bad. By making the changes to blame the outsider it ruins the complexity of the morality of the games in being controlled by power and violence and revenge. The Outsider was generous if anything or a representation of some people getting advantages others don't but cam use it do something good or bad they wouldnt normally be able to achieve (in a way it was hope) now you play as people with a mixed up moral compass blaming their choices on someone else instead of taking responsibility and not even the plot takes notice of that. It's like this The outsider hands someone a gun, they go on to shoot someone to save their daughter The outsider gives someone else a gun They shoot a person for money and say "why has the outsider done this" There is complexity to the void and the corruption it can cause but the Outsider has been a neutral force if anything, doesn't taking him out if thr void leave it open for a worse incarnation even if you didn't kill him? I compare it to something like Batman honestly, batman gets blamed because supervillains pop up to meet him, however its more complicated than "it's Batmans fault" But the choice of taking the outsider away from the position he's in is just as problematic as killing him and while it should have been saying no and coming to terms with the choices we make and sometimes have to make still being out own choices ... instead it feels as if the story still blames the outsider or wrote him to be a victim to take him out of the position. Either way both options feel like really serious options that both essentially accomplish the same thing which was only done because of the flawed purpose. Even if he isn't killed he's still essentially being blamed for it. The story writes to try to make everything chill but it makes it feel like any complexity has been thrown away and gives very limited choice for a complex issue. The other games were more understandable but now it's revenge for a flimsy reason and they've changed many of the character to make it happen. It's contemplating letting him live but it doesn't contemplate the flimsy root of the issue which is ... why? This doesn't solve anything or help anyone it arguably makes the world worse.

[@BlossomPathOnStage15]

This is why I love the first Dishonored Oustsider lore/origin before they retconning everything. Outsider is not a villain nor is he a hero. He just exist there giving people power whether they deserve it or not and if *you* kill people with that power that's on you not the guy that gave you that power. Because power never corrupts, it just reveal what's already there. Vera Moray was already a psychopath, Daud was always an assassin even before the mark but Corvo? He was no-named nobody growing up from nothing until he finally reaches the top with his own hardwork even after everything falling apart he still fight with honor and when he succeeded making Emily the Empress he was content with his life until he dies. Again the first Dishonored I mean.

[@shelceygusek427]

​@@cameronroy2129 Except the outsider wasn't giving people guns... he gave them literal supernatural powers.... things normal humans didn't have.... And yes the deeper questions of morality here are surrounded in without supernatural powers you can still kill someone. To use your gun metaphor correctly... The outsider gives someone a gun. Someone kills someone with a knife. someone else says: "This is the work of the outsider" This was the position of the outsider in the only dishonored I have played... the first one. Reading what you have written about everything beyond sounds like YOU are now arriving at some wildly different conclusion to the first one. And you're mad at other people for that... specifically the writers... which is weird. Why are you mad at the author for the interpretation of the poem YOU arrived at?

Sorry dude, but your throat is going to meet Corvo's blade.

[@EnrocaLaRoca]

Let's be real: if Daud told you that he ended a witches coven, including some Delilah who wanted to take Emily's body, saving her in the process, would you believe him? Maybe if Corvo already knew about Granny Rags being a witch he would somehow believe that there's a coven somewhere, but I doubt that no one would believe Daud's mission if they weren't there, which is why no one except the Whalers and Daud himself knows about that story.

[@JabamiLain]

@Bruh Man I know. I wrote this when I was too consumed by my hate to understand why Daud insisted in fighting rather than helping Corvo.

Hope you don't mind playing game after 7 months. Don't use sword after parrying him, don't use sword while sneaking, you can still strike him when he is not in "unbalanced" stance. Range weapons also helps, even a barrage of bullets or bolts wont instantly kill him iirc.

[@beanbrain6162]

@@greysmith7763 Thank you very much for your tips I will be sure to utilise them!

You are the Judge. It would have been better if I could've whacked Regent and Daud for a proper trial and public execution.

[@ryanthaiable]

tbh, wholesome

[@johnconstantine5880]

"I've had enought killing", "I'd give back all the coin if I could." but bro, you were about to making bargains to double your money for giving corvo alive. also he knew corvo wouldn't kill him so he played a little drama show. I know most of you guys love him but he is a bit inconsistent. (i didn't kill him either, stole his wallet and disappeared like a og)

[@virgiljianu7166]

I respectfully disagree. I think that Daud knew very well that his duel with Corvo was inevitable,but he thought that by handing him over he might be able to delay the inevitable since he was scared that he might very well not see the next day due to Corvo (for good reason). When he learns that he managed to escape,he accepts that he'll have to fight him and that he'll most likely be at the end of his blade in the end. He could have simply ran or tried to hide,but he doesn't since like I said,he most likely knew that it was going to happen regardless. This symbolises (at least to me) his regret for killing the Empress and his willingness to redeem himself, that's why he's willing to leave himself to Corvo's mercy in the end and accept any decision he'll take regarding him.

[@Tanner-2]

Daud is my favorite boss of all time, he's fast exhilarating and dangerous, a boss done

[@Jesse-fd5bv]

Even in high chaos playthroughs I don't kill Daud

[@dudedas]

the first time i played this i just killed him immediately, no guard to worry about or anything, nor voicelines. Just like 3 cooked 'nades and then just cut him down. didnt know he was like this initially

[@keithpita6440]

The need to make a game about dauds origin. I hope death of the outsider isn't the end of dishonored

[@destruction42k]

This was an awesome set of changes for low chaos like the new speech (It's different for a "Natural" and High chaos runs.) Also Awesome looking OC BTW (/

[@irishboi7100]

when he says mercy extraordinary is that if its on low chao or if you kill absoloutley no one including weepers??

[@ES21007]

Saint Row Low chaos and spare him. No need for clean hands.

[@4lfie-]

He says it if you spare him on high chaos too.

[@Ph33NIXx]

I never knew you could do this...

[@christianhillman1577]

Daud is *almost* a better character than Corvo. His redemption arc is more compelling, and at the very end, he owes his very life to a man who is more powerful, who is faster, who is just *better*, and who has every reason to want him dead.

[@kleidos]

My blink is just slow as fuck

[@shawn_99]

José Rojas At least they fixed it in the DLCs and in Dishonored 2. You're invisible and invincible while moving with Blink, so in terms of stealth and combat it makes no difference.

[@omakoma352]

+Shawn Σigma its not a fix. its daud's blink. corvo's blink is meant to be like that

[@Kingdomall]

in my playthrough, daud taunts me as I walk away. saying he predicted that I would spare him. made me wanna go back and slice his head off.

How to get a spyglass withd Daud in BW dlc?

[@alexalexandrov3317]

SorasBigAssShoes 1 im pretty sure he already has the spyglass.

[@shawn_99]

SorasBigAssShoes 1 You just have it from the start of both the KoD and BW DLCs.

[@sreeraghnair3676]

i didnt fight daud i just stole his key and chocked him from behind now i feel stupid for missing out on such a great fight

[@Verm0uth07]

Bruh my attacks always instakilled him, I tried to spare him.

[@Verm0uth07]

left for killing I spared him. I think the reason why my attacks always ended up in insta kill because I stole his key when I'm not supposed to just yet. So basically I went to the boss area, used slow time, took the key, ran out the boss area using blink and hid from Daud.

[@irusan_san]

You have to be detected by Daud if you want to fight him. Dont surprise attack him (slice his throat quickly) when he doesnt have the alert ticks on his head

[@Verm0uth07]

Irsan it was not a suprise attack, I was literally on a duel with him when my attack literally 1 shot him.

[@clds_]

A4R R4A sorry but thats not possible ... even with any upgrades :/... the only possible method is to surprise attack or hack

[@SnarkyMalarkey]

It is possible because it happened to me too, i parry his attack and then got the instant counter kill, and is not because of difficulty either because i did it on very hard, to get the cutscene i literally had to not attack him when i got a parry on him

[@JorjIto12872]

All the times i played just shooted him a sleep dart or just knocked him, so I never knew this could happen

[@Nor1998_]

Lol. He begged for mercy. Daud.

[@wb7585]

Yea i had to re watch this because I literally did a counter attack and one shot him in the first second of the dual. on my low chaos run my reaction O_O that wasn't suppose to happen

[@putulgayen8463]

How many abilities does daud know

[@Альцгеймер-е1е]

Putul Gayen Play DLCs to Dishonored.

[@arczi1309]

In dlc's he had: Blink (with time-stop during aiming) Void Gaze (Heart and Dark Vision combined) Time Bend Summon Assasin (summons an assasin) Arcane Bond (gives Assasins some of Daud's powers) Pull (TBM only, pulls objects and people)

[@BREAKocean]

Daud being like "BRB GOTTA KILL A GOD"

[@Rainbow-gc6kh]

I tried to do this... I accidentally killed him three hits in. How do you get him in that position?

[@UnlessIWin]

Low chaos and don't kill his men otw to him. If he dies, reload. Low chaos should always give you his monolog.

[@batch_2731]

You have to let Daud detect you as well.

Do you use shadow play? I ask because at the end of your video you zoomed in.

[@adamguy4111]

*upgrade for the mask*

[@andreakosick4273]

Discerning Daniel yea he does

[@irusan_san]

Adam Guy No, I think he meant the hotkey. The Hotkey to start/stop recording in Shadowplay or Windows 10 is Win+Alt+R , and the ingame mask zoom button is Alt

[@whitegranite2105]

who else completely avoided this battle by slowing time and just assassinating him before he could say one word (i beat the daud dlc so i knew what the fucker did already)

[@Zverobob]

And i just took his key and left xD

[@Mike-qo2rl]

Lol, When I played it I didn't have to fight him, he put the guard to sleep with the dart and I knocked out Daud, I avoided the fight but I lost that.

[@dinolux5391]

I could never kill Daud, for some reason I see him as a friend and really cool person, Idek just might be me but I can't kill him

[@1millionRamen]

in my playthrough(low chaos) didnt kill a single one nor been seen. i just choke him and leave, no need for talk

[@Zzolier]

I remember the time That I stopped time to choke him but I just saw him move I was freaked out

[@macrons593]

I didn't believe Daud when he gave his little speech at the end. And even if he did regret it, i'm not going to forgive him now that he asks me for forgiveness and supposedly regrets all the shit he's done.

Play DLC's, you'll know why he changed

@@arczi1309 i'm on it. But my point is, he's not regretting his way out of that one no matter how he feels about it now

[@macrons593]

@@arczi1309 that makes sense, but i see an equal reasoning to why low chaos Corvo WOULD kill him, since he was the one who killed his empress and it's about personal vendetta

He doesnt ask for forgiveness, he asks for mercy

so you also record from windows 10 feature and if you're asking me how do i know the answer is that when you ended the recording you zoomed and the zoom button is alt and if you press start + alt + r it starts or stops the recording
