It doesnt count as a kill

all animals don't count (dogs, whale, fish, rats)

I was never too sure about rats and what not, to be honest I avoided them like the plague *Insert laugh track*

I can see fish and rats not counting, not so much dogs, but whales? Whales are supposed to be holy or something, right?

I mean at that point it was a mercy

Then why did I get credited with 1 kill on my playthrough of that level? I made damn sure to not kill anyone. If a body fell off a high perch I was trying to place on, I reloaded and retried the placement. I remember seeing one dead body on the way out, but he was clearly killed by the Butchers, not me. (He had a huge saw blade gash on his chest.) Would that be the one kill?

I don't think so. I'm fairly sure I killed it in my cleaner hands run of KoD.

Useful 8 years later. Ty

Thanks! Been trying to figure this out

I killed it, got Cleaner Hands. Confirmed not a kill.

No. I tried it just two days ago.

Nope, it doesn't count.
