Bone charm

Bone charms (or bonecharms) are mystical objects created from the bones of whales, humans and other animals, each with a unique effect on the user's constitution and abilities. Corvo Attano, Daud, Emily Kaldwin and Billie Lurk can discover these items throughout the Empire and use them to complement their mission strategies.

History[]

In the days before the Empire, ownership of bone charms (including those made from the tusks of walruses in Tyvia, as well as from the claws and teeth of bears in Pradym, a city in Tyvia) was tolerated, as their effects were said to improve the lives of lowly serfs and prevent pregnancies.[1] However, with the coming of the industrial revolution arising from Esmond Roseburrow's research on whale oil, the Abbey of the Everyman banned the use of bone charms, dubbing them witchery.[2] Retaining bone charms is now considered a criminal offense, and there is a workshop at the Office of the High Overseer dedicated solely to the destruction of bone charms.[3]

Function[]

When they are equipped, bone charms provide a variety of enhancements, such as improving the effects of elixirs and remedies, swimming speed, jumping ability, equipment, and strengthening the user's supernatural powers. Other bone charms exist that have functions that do not affect gameplay,[1] but none of these can be found in the Dishonored franchise.

Roleplaying Game[]

Actual corrupted bone charms are not provided or shown, but they can have any of the following benefits and penalties. It should be noted that these traits and their descriptions work only in context within the tabletop game.[4]

Benefits
  • Feral Cacophony - Turn a ranged attack into a vermin creature (rat, bloodfly, etc) moments before it hits the wearer. Creatures spawned this way flee the scene immediately.
  • Fragments of Elmira - This bone charm whispers to the wearer in the voice of a woman. It entices the wearer to follow her directions which always lead to places where silver can be found.
  • Void's Seedling - A unique bone charm that holds a proto-sentient failed attempt from the Void to take form. It inhales and exhales light.
  • Wrathful Scream - Empowers the wearer when they reach their limit and weaponizes their anger.
  • Song of Inspiration - This bone charm invokes ideas at convenient times to allow opportunities for plans to pay off. Conflicts with Swift Arpeggio.
  • Hunters Hum - Hums louder in the wearer's mind as they focus on their target. Allows for ranged weapons to cause more damage.
  • Chameleon's Call - Imitates the call of nearby beasts, confusing them.
  • Blood-Starved Crescendo - The bone charm produces a drumming noise that becomes louder as blood is spilled. This energizes the wearer.
  • Yearning of the Leviathan - Resonating with the singing of whales, this bone charm will attract them when submerged in large bodies of water. It will allow the wearer to breath underwater if kept in their mouth.
  • Choir of Silence - Sounds around the charm are absorbed, making actions quieter.

  • Darkened Edges - The bone charm spreads doubt and discord.
  • Splintered Bone - The key material of the bone charm was not treated properly. It subtly affects the wearer's fate.
  • Scarred Surface - Cracked bone charm, likely due to damage during the creation process. It leaks black link that stains any surface it touches for an hour after midnight.
  • Overcharged - Charm is unnaturally heavy, due to express amounts of ingredients used when crafting. It may weigh up to 6 pounds.
  • Kinseeker - There are a series of tiny, sharp dents in the base of the bone charm. When worn, it sinks into the wearer's flesh in an attempt to fuse with the wearer's bones. Removing the charm is painful.
  • Stained Bone - The bone charm is a strained color it is worn for a while. The wearer takes on a sick, pale appearance while the bone charm appears normal.
  • Life's Miracle - The bone charm was covered with flesh, veins, and cartilage. If left unchecked, in three nights the bone charm will become an embryo of the bone's species and the charm will no longer work.

Corroded Bonecharms[]

Corroded Bonecharms were introduced in Dishonored: The Corroded Man. These charms grant far more powers than regular ones but drain the life force out of their users.[7] They are also unstable, eventually corroding themselves out either over time or through repeated uses. Zhukov crafts them but requires many due to to their instability. They are small enough to fit inside a person's palm, octagonal, and crafted out of copper wire and bone.[8] When used, they burn with a red and orange glow,[9] and eventually char themselves to the point of disintegration.[10] Drawing too much power form them might even set the users on fire.[7]

Known effects granted by Corroded Bonecharms include:

  • A movement power that allows a user to transpose with his own reflection, then moving from one reflective surface to another. If the reflection is imperfect or fractured, using this power would fracture the user himself. Zhukov can share the bonecharm's power with Galia Fleet, though the power she received is similar to Whalers' transversal.[7]
  • Generating an aura, disorientating anyone around its user, sometimes causing nausea, blackout or even hallucinations. The user has some degree of control as he can focus the effect on a particular person, amplifying it.

Trivia[]

  • Starting in Dishonored: The Corroded Man, bone charms are called bonecharms.
  • Bone charms in Dishonored are made from two bones, which suggests two traits. Bone charms found in Dishonored 2 are made of a single bone, suggesting a single trait.
    • Moreover, bone charms found in Dishonored 2 seem to be weaker than in Dishonored, excluding corrupted bone charms and black bone charms. Their traits can however be multiplied with the Trait Synergy upgrade to make stronger variants.
  • With some skill, any person can craft bone charms. However, this is a rather lengthy procedure, as opposed to the instant crafting available through Bonecharm Crafting.
    • It is revealed in Death of The Outsider that there are other alternatives to bonecharms called ointments. Notably one of them is the "scarlet nightshade ointment", which render the wearer a hardened skin in trade of a numbness throughout the body and stiff movement.
  • Each playthrough of Dishonored spawns only 26 random bone charms, out of 35 available.
  • Corvo starts with three slots in which to equip bone charms, but he can purchase more from Piero Joplin at the Hound Pits Pub. Bone charm carrying capacity can be increased to a maximum of ten by upgrades, the Fish Statue found in the Acrobatic Killer Pack, the Whale Statue found in the Arcane Assassin Pack, the Wolfhound Statue found in the Backstreet Butcher Pack, and the Rat Statue found in the Shadow Rat Pack.
  • Bone charms spawn randomly. They are chosen when the level is loaded, so reloading right before obtaining one will always yield the same charm. Notable exceptions to this include:
    • The bone charm stuck in the vice in the Back Yard. Saving before collecting the charm will allow one to reset until the desired bone charm is spawned; this effect is very useful when attempting a ghost/low chaos/clean hands playthrough, as the Strong Arms bone charm is a tremendous help.
    • The bone charm Corvo gets from Daud in the Flooded District, either through pick-pocketing him or by defeating him and looting his body. It is much harder to pickpocket it undetected, but it is easier to manage with Bend Time tier II and Blink.
    • The bone charm found on top of a rock near a swarm of plague rats, right after entering the tunnel after leaving Daud's base.
    • The bone charm Daud can purchase from Jerome in Drapers Ward.
  • In Dishonored, collecting 10 bone charms will unlock the Occultist achievement. In Dishonored 2, an achievement named Occult Carver can be obtained through crafting 10 bone charms.
  • Corvo and Emily cannot collect bone charms related solely to the other's abilities e.g. Corvo cannot obtain Life Bond while Emily cannot find Accommodating Host unless playing on New Game +.
  • Through the New Game + feature of Dishonored 2, Trait Synergy can be used five times on Strong Arms to allow immediate choking.
  • Enemies rendered unconscious by Separation Trauma do not count as knockouts on the statistics page.
  • Whether Undying Swarm works does not depend on whether it is equipped – rather, it depends on whether it was equipped at the time that the swarm was summoned.
  • If a level two bone charm is collected when the level one variant is equipped, the level two bone charm automatically equips itself.
  • Billie once knew a person who claimed to have a bone charm that deflected bullets. He shot himself in the stomach and died the day after.
  • Daud once bought a corrupted bone charm that caused sharp metal to break on contact with him, but each time it worked, one of his teeth turned black and fell out. He gave this bone charm to a whaler who later lost all his teeth.
  • When purchased from black market shops, black bone charms cost 350 coins and corrupted bone charms cost 250 coins.
  • According to Zhukov, there are reservoirs of power inside bones, which are the requisite of bonecharm crafting. Frozen bones, however, are useless since matrix of ice crystals penetrated the bones, disrupting these reservoirs.[12]
  • In Death of the Outsider, members of the Cult of the Outsider use powers granted by black bone charms in combat.
    • Those equipped with Agility, Whirlwind, Bloodthirsty, Reflexes, and Power Slash bone charms have access to the same or similar powers manifested in Billie.
    • Cultists with Hardiness, Snap Reaction, and Iron Roots bone charms don't seem to have any special ability.
    • When Billie loots a bone charm that she already possesses, it will automatically be converted to raw whalebones.
