Bend Time Tier 2 costs a total of 8 runes for Daud - 2 for Tier 1 and 6 more for Tier 2; cheap in comparison to Corvo.

Seeing as how it's possible to acquire 18 runes if you go through The Knife of Dunwall first by the time you even reach The Dead Eels level (which has another 7 runes on it, some of which you can also access before even meeting Naria), I wouldn't really say that Tier 2 is that costly or the runes would necessarily be "going to something more useful".

I almost always have spare runes before I get to this level even with obtaining Bend Time Tier 2, but that could just be my playstyle.

Regardless, it is good to know that this tactic functions as described and can be an alternative way. Thank you for confirming it works.
