Encounter with The Outsider | Somewhere Else... Dishonored Guide

New Main Quest: Something's not right...
The whole of the level serves as an introduction to the supernatural, that Corvo will be acquiring throughout the game. Begin by leaving the bedroom and following the linear path to meet with the Outsider. The man will give you the first one of your powers, called Blink, that works as a teleport.
New Main Quest: Use your Blink power to reach the Outsider
Acquaint yourself with the short description of how the power works. It is much better to point to the destination manually, i.e. by pressing and holding down the right mouse button. That's what you should do to teleport to the platform visible in the distance (the above screenshot). Note - each time you aim, make sure that Corvo will land safely, because falling from heights may kill him.
Collect the fallen letter and take a look into the chest that contains Piero's spiritual remedy, which is a mana potion (used for propelling all powers used by the protagonist). Start teleporting now from one platform to another (the above screenshot) and remember that you do not need to hurry.
Stop on the platform with Emily's petrified form and collect Emily's letter. Go forward to find another chest with Piero's spiritual remedy. Make sure to teleport to the higher platfor correctly (the above screenshot). Your destination is the platform with the Outsider on it. He will give you the heart and instructions on how to find runes.
New Main Quest: Use the Heart to find the hidden rune
Make sure that you select the heart on the list (by holding down the middle mouse button). Collect another Piero's spiritual remedy and go straight ahead. On your way, you need to jump into the hole shown in the above screenshot. Go to the other end of the room and jump down again, to land near a chest with the fourth Piero's spiritual remedy.
Keep jumping down from a platform onto another.In order to get to a platform with a runeon it, you will have to use Blink (teleport) again, so select it in the roll- down menu (or press the appropriate hotkey). After performing two successful teleports, approach the rune and collect it. Use the rune to unlock the first power from the list (there are two to choose from) and listen to the last conversation with the Outsider.
