When are Bone Charms found during a mission determined

dishonored

There are a total of 45 unique Bone Charms in Dishonored, but far fewer of them are found in any given play though. This is because each charm found is randomly selected from the complete list. What stinks though, is that Bone Charms usefulness varies wildly. Some, like the .5 second chokehold are massive boosts. Others, like Albino, seem to be totally useless.

If I were an… ahem-Dishonorable gamer, and interested in savescumming for better Bone Charms, from what point would I have to reload? Is it determined at Mission Start, at entry to the 'zone' where the Charm is located, when it's picked up, or at some other point?

Best Answer

In general, you won't have much luck scumming.

According to the Dishonored wiki,

Charms spawn randomly. They are chosen when the level is loaded so reloading right before obtaining one will always yeild the same charm.

However, there are at least two charms that are scummable. The first, in the vice behind the High Overseer's Office, is determined when the vice is opened. The second is the one in Daud's pouch. I've tried both of these and confirmed them.

You can't see it in the menu or anywhere else. The only things you see is:

If you find one collectable, it will display your total amount of collectables from this type in the bottom line.
If your done with the level, it will provide a summary of all found collectables and those which could be found in the level.

But you can take a look at a list of collectables per level to get the info early enough and just remember how much you already found in a specific level. Such a list can be found here.
