There are issues with the Ghost achievement, as I've mentioned in some other posts.
1) Started a brand new game and played from beginning to end without even replaying a mission let alone choosing stages from the menu
2) Didn't subdue or put to sleep or kill guards, hounds, river krust, hagfish, or rats (this means, obviously, that there were never any bodies found)
3) Never rewired a wall of light or an arc pylor or a tower
4) Never, ever once got a guard, dog, or weeper with even just a single bolt of awareness
5) Never alerted guards to a strange presence (i.e.: they never went into "We got a prowler" mode)
6) Not ever detected by the mission targets, each and every one neutralized non-lethally, including Daud (stole his pouch, didn't alert him)
7) Completely ignored Granny so she wouldn't show up later. Ghosted Slackjaw side mission to ensure I could handle the twins non-lethally
8) Picked two pockets the entire game: Daud and an assassin outside Daud's area so I could unlock the district
9) Every single mission completed with clean Stats page (all 0's, both Never Detected and Killed Nobody checked)
Result?
Failed to get Ghost. I did get Shadow and Clean Hands, but not Ghost.
I've come to terms with it, but that doesn't mean I am not still a little curious about exactly how that achievement is supposed to be working.
