Exploring Dunwall Tower's Roof | Mission 6 - Return to the Tower Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Note - Once Lord Regent has been alarmed to your presence, the exploration of the roof becomes compulsory. Otherwise, the exploration is optional. Still, it is a good idea to explore it anyways, as there are a few items of value to be found here.

There is only one way to reach the roof, which is taking the stairs in the south-eastern corner of the Tower's second floor (the above screenshot). In order to get to the stairs you need to pass through several rooms neighboring with Lord Regent's chambers.

After you reach the roof, you should notice that it is being patrolled by several guards. If you plan on eliminating them, you should make sure that you conceal them properly. It is also a good idea to make use of the nearby pillars in the form of covers.

The most important place on the roof is the [Regent's Safe Room], that can be accessed in three different ways. Variant one consists in taking the main entrance. I recommend against doing it, because the place is well lit, and there is a tall boy behind the door.

Variant two consists in exploring the area to the left of the main room. You could possess a rat here, and pass through the ventilation shaft.

The third, and the last, variant, assumes exploration of the area to the right of the main room. You can find here an open shutter (the above screenshot), that can be reached by means of teleportation.

As I have already mentioned, Lord Regent's special room is patrolled by a tall boy. You'd better not attack him, especially that you can easily take cover behind bookshelves around. What is even more, in the room below, there is a single Overseer, so you'd better watch your steps. You can find here gold and a book.

On the upper level of the location you are currently exploring there is Lord Regent, but he will be staying there as long as he was alarmed to your presence earlier, and excaped from his chambers on the Tower's second floor. There is also a wall of light here, but you can easily disable it or walk around it by taking the door to the right. Explore the upper level to find Sokolov's health elixir, <br>a planning room key, books, notes Losing Support and runes.
