The Rune the Heart couldn't find
By question man6
There are many Runes in Dishonored, but there is one the Heart cannot find by itself. Emily has a Rune that can be given to you after Mission 5: Lady Boyle's Last Party. This is a guide to show you how to get it.

First things first: Find Callista
Once you get back from the Boyle Estate, go to the bar and you will see Callista. Talk to her, and she will ask you to find Emily, who is hiding from Callista for fun.
Find Emily
When I did this a few times, she is either down the hallway connected to your chambers, or she is up the stairs at the corner of the street.

Thank you to the person who put up the first comment* for mentioning another spot she likes to hide in, which is at the bottom of Emily's tower, in the kind of ruined section under the door farthest from Samuel.

If she is in none of these places, try finding her using Dark Vision, and put where she was in the comments if you'd be so kind.

Once you find her, she'll talk to you a little and give you the Rune.

*I didn't put their specific name on the guide because people can change names.
Now that wasn't so hard now was it?
Now, before you say that there are alot more Runes the Heart cannot find, read a few of the first comments before you say anything. Thank you.

Now I hope this helps you get the powers you've been saving up for! If it did not, however, post in the comments below what went wrong or if something was slightly different.

An additional "extra" rune is by your bed after the Lady Boyle mission. There's a note accompanying it from an anonymous benefactor--presumably a Boyle family member--thanking you for just going after the target and sparing the rest of her family.

So that's three extra runes you can get in a single mission...after the action's over! :-)

shouldnt you write down the ways of getting free runes? (example: when you duel lord shaw properly lord pendleton upon returning to the hound pits gives you a rune)

You'll always need to talk to Callista. I've never really tried finding Emily beforehand.

I'm honestly surprised to see another comment on a guide for an "older" game. Well, it was pretty great... Dishonored 2 tho...

@graywolfe42 I believe in high chaos you need to talk to calista first, she tells you to find emily, and the little brat is hiding in your upstairs room. I would have walked past her hiding place if she wasn't giggling.

Yes, it might have been. She was in the bushes up the stairs.

@Cant Flim Flam That was up the street corner stairs, was it not? If not, try to specify where she was so I can edit the guide so it says where she was.

She was hiding by the old apartments for me.

@Qmoo Yes the heart is the empressess, they have the same voice actor and there are many comments to suggest that it was hers

It's funny, I just finished a high-chaos run today and noticed that during this time I couldn't find emily. I mean, I didn't look super hard. But I wanted to talk to her before I left just to see what she had to say. To think that three times I've beaten it and never once have I done this. Gotta love the little hidden things.
