Video Guide

This is my runthrough of Deathloop. I decided to try and break the loop as efficiently as possible and I broke it on Loop 7! The first one is fully scripted, and Loop 2 and 3 have pretedermined destinations, so you are only fully free to explore from Loop 4 onward.

Just a disclaimer, this is NOT a speedrun - I take my time, sneak around, have fun and have some more fun and have some fun in the process... Below is a full breakdown of my approach. Enjoy!
LOOP 1 (PROLOGUE)
Loop 1 starts at 0:00 in the video and is fully scripted, so have fun!
LOOP 2
LOOP 2 starts at 8:00 in the video and is partially scripted.

1. Updaam - Morning
  • Reveal the RAK door
  • Visit Colt's flat
  • Prevent the fire to Otto’s

2. The Complex - Noon
  • Visit the Loop Control Center and watch the explanation

3. Fristad Rock - Afternoon
  • Get info on the LPP from the AEON Program's Security Office
  • Reveal the code for Charlie's safe in Karl's Bay at the bunker

4. Updaam - Evening
  • Check Colt's safe at his flat
  • Visit Otto’s to find the code to access the fireworks
  • Get Aleksis' safe code from his room
LOOP 3
Loop 3 starts at 34:00 in the video and is partially scripted.

1. Updaam - Morning
  • Visit Colt's flat and check the safe

2. The Complex - Afternoon
  • Kill all Wenjies and complete the experiment
LOOP 4
Loop 4 starts at 52:00 in the video and this is the point from which you can collect the rest of the clues in any order.

1. Karl’s Bay - Morning
  • Open Charlie's safe and find clues on the cipher

2. Fristad Rock - Noon
  • Reveal the symbols for Fia's cipher

3. Updaam - Afternoon
  • Visit the archivist’s office
  • Retrieve the code for the power stations’ controls from RAK

4. The Complex - Evening
  • Get the password to Egor’s hidden device from his notes
  • (Optional) Pick up the silenced LIMP-10
LOOP 5
Loop 5 starts at 1:15:30 in the video.

1. The Complex - Morning
  • Power up Updaam and Karl’s Bay’s power stations

2. Updaam - Noon
  • Visit the Yasen Station
  • Kill Charlie and take his Slab (this may be optional but Shift is very useful later on, so I never tried to skip it)

3. The Complex - Afternoon
  • Get clues for Wenjie's wish from her room

4. Karl’s Bay - Evening
  • Visit the Akkar Station
LOOP 6
Loop 6 starts at 1:42:30 in the video.

1. The Complex - Morning
  • Power up The Complex and Fristad Rock’s power stations
  • Visit the HZN Station

2. Updaam - Noon
  • Take the Aleksis statuette from the safe to 2-BIT
  • Instruct 2-BIT to play the recording to “Give Wenjie what she wants”

3. Fristad Rock - Afternoon
  • Visit the Sova Station
LOOP 7 - THE FINAL LOOP
Loop 7 - the final loop starts at 2:01:40 in the video.

1. Karl’s Bay - Morning
  • Sabotage Frank’s fireworks (rain flaps)
  • Kill Harriet

2. The Complex - Noon
  • Ruin Egor’s experiment

3. Fristad Rock - Afternoon
  • Enter the bunker and flood it to kill Charlie and Fia

4. Updaam - Evening
  • Crash the party and kill Wenjie, Egor and Aleksis
  • Go to RAK and launch away from Updaam

5. Somewhere - Sometime
  • Pick the ending of your choice!

That's it! Have you found a faster way to break the loop? Please share below if you have so I can try it out.

Awesome guide & video, I just finished my first playthrough and I'm definitely doing this for the next one.

While I don't care a bit about getting anything done with less loops. or speed running for that matter, This guide is awesome for when I will inievitably get lost. I can see what I missed.

seriosly, if the text isnt enough I get a handy timestamp with a link to watch where im lost. Ill be using this guide!

Great run. I finished the game but your speed of movement and effective use of Shift puts me to shame. I am running through buildings while you surf the roofs. I'm going to need to practice.

Thank you for letting me know! I've now removed the step. It's not even possible in this region so it doesn't make sense - must be copy paste error :bbtcat:

cool guide, but why does it say in loop 7 - Karl's Bay "Prevent fire at Otto's Workshop"?
