Choosing Your Mark is the prologue of The Brigmore Witches DLC. Daud is making preparations in his hideout to strike back at Delilah.

Briefing[]

Pre-mission, Troubled Sleep[]

You've been ill at ease ever since you assassinated Empress Jessamine Kaldwin and aided in the abduction of her Daughter Emily.

Mission[]

Overseers assaulted your hideout, tipped off by the witch Delilah Copperspoon. Now you're preparing to retaliate.

Mission Details[]

Daud awakens from a dream in which he fights Corvo Attano, either killing him or being killed. In high chaos, Daud will have a hostile reaction to the assassin waking him, grabbing his sword and pinning the man to the ground. Despite this, the assassin will still calmly inform Daud that Thomas is waiting for him in his office. Several assassins occupy the area, waiting in various places, and many books and notes are placed around the room. If Daud chose to spare Billie Lurk in The Knife of Dunwall, a note from her can be found in the chest at the foot of his bed.

Corvo attacks Daud in his dream.

Upon walking downstairs, Daud can speak to an assassin, Thomas, at the desk who tells him that he will speak with him when he is ready. If Daud leaves his office, he will find various assassins speaking with each other. In low chaos, they will discuss how they are starting to doubt Daud's ability to lead them and worry that he has gone soft. Daud can walk in on one of these conversations and assure them that he is still dangerous.

Two assassins talk about Daud.

Daud is restricted to the library and his office, as the windows leading to other parts of the building are blocked off. When Daud speaks to Thomas, it is revealed that Daud sent him to locate Lizzy Stride, leader of the Dead Eels, in order to request transportation to Brigmore Manor on her ship, the Undine. Thomas informs Daud that Lizzy was betrayed and is now in Coldridge Prison, her second-in-command taking her place as leader.

Once Daud is ready to go find Lizzy at Coldridge, he can inform Thomas.

Special Actions[]

  • Defeated Corvo in a dream
  • Visited Billie Lurk's Shrine

Trivia[]

Lizzy wanted01b

Wanted poster for Lizzy Stride.

  • The wanted poster of Lizzy Stride for the murder of Captain Rutherford is a reference to Boatchecks on the Wrenhaven from The Knife of Dunwall, in which the Captain's sister expresses her worry about her brother patrolling the Wrenhaven River with the possibility of being attacked by the Dead Eels.
  • In high chaos, the chest containing Daud's equipment will only contain his wristbow and a rune, because Daud already took the blade of the assassin who woke him up.
  • It is impossible to defeat Corvo in high chaos. When Daud performs a killing strike, he will disarm Corvo, but then (after the objective is shown as failed) Corvo will break Daud's arm and use his own sword to slit his throat. Only in low chaos is it possible to actually defeat Corvo and gain the special action.
  • If Daud is defeated in high chaos without any killing strike triggered, Corvo will then walk towards, grab and brutally stab him in the throat.
  • If they were spared, Overseers can be spotted through the windows waiting one at a time to be escorted to the refinery[1].
    • All of the Overseers are maskless and use Leonard Hume's model.
    • If Daud shoots one the Overseers as they are being escorted, it is possible for a fight to start between the Overseers and the Whalers.
  • If Daud chose to execute the remaining Overseers at the end of The Knife of Dunwall, the assassins can be seen outside burning Overseer corpses. Moreover, there will be blood splatters all over the place.
  • If Daud chose to kill Billie Lurk, there will be a shrine dedicated to her in the hallway outside the office with her blade, cloak, wristbow, gas mask and a corrupted charm. Blowing the candles will grant a special action, with Daud commenting: "I owe you that one, Delilah."
  • There are a few objects left behind in the office by the Overseers, such as masks, music boxes and Abbey curtains. Also if Daud chose to execute the Overseers, he will ask an assassin to burn the curtains along with their corpses.
  • In low chaos, Corvo takes down the assassins non-lethally before he and Daud fight, whereas in high chaos he kills them. Daud's monologue and comments to Corvo and his responses to certain assassins also change with the chaos ranking.
    • When Corvo kills the assassins, their bodies vanish, indicating he has Shadow Kill.
    • If Daud uses any projectiles during the fight, Corvo will use Bend Time Tier 2 to halt their trajectory.
      • However, given that the fight occurs in a dream, it cannot be deduced that Corvo canonically acquired these powers in the main game.
