Trying for the Clean Hands achievement, starting the game anew. Basically, as soon as I leave my cell, I subdue only one guard, the one with his back to you right there at the beginning. Then, without even subduing anybody else in the level (not in the prison, not in the sewer), I escape to Samuel and when the mission is complete I get:

Hostiles Killed: 1

Let me just go ahead and repeat myself now: I subdued only one guard. One. And I put him on my bed in my cell just in case there were rats around that I wasn't aware of. After that, it's 100% stealth until I blow the door and jump in the river, and after that, I use the pipes in the sewers to get around everybody and, to boot, I kill all the rats (you know the ones I'm talking about) with my sword instead of feeding them another body. When I blow the door, the one guard on patrol in that room is as far away as his path takes him, and I've watched them both recover before I run out the door and jump in the water so I *know* that the deaths aren't happening at the explosion.

The funny thing is, I've watched a handful of YouTube videos for this level and all of them, the player subdues about half the level and feeds two corpses to the rats and then you see Hostiles Killed: 0

What the hell? I subdue one guard (and I don't collect the sword until *after*) and I get 1 hostile killed? Anybody else experiencing this?

Xbox 360.


Update: Just went through it again. Subdued NOBODY. Killed rats with sword. WAITED for 2 guards near door to get up to ensure they were alive, detected ONLY by those guards, left those guards alone and alive chasing after me. Jumped in river. Stealthed the rest of the way out... Hostiles Killed: 1

I love this game, but this is intolerable. WTF.
