Exploring Rudshore Waterfront | Mission 7 - The Flooded District Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
As I have mentioned before, the [Rudshore Waterfront] is quite vast, and that is why you will probably spend a lot of time here. To move freely around the area, use water reservoirs, although in places where there are piranhas, it is better to use the objects projecting above the surface. You, of course do that by using Blink (teleportation).
During your exploration, you should take a look into the building you pass, to find gold, food, Sokolov's health elixirs and Piero's spiritual remedies. You should also look around for the corpses of guards and assassins appearing here and there. On most of the corpses, you can find guns, grenades and ammo. As far as assassins are concerned, they patrol building rooftops so, you do not really need to worry about them if you are staying close to water. Still, if you want to climb up, you should definitely watch out for them. That's especially so because assassins use powers and are well equipped. It's worth adding that many of them have the rail station office key on them. It would be a good idea to steal one of them, as it will come in handy further on in the mission.
Note- If you want to eliminate assassins without killing them, grab them right after performing the attack, which will prevent them slipping off the roof. Otherwise, the assassins may die after falling to the ground.
Assassins and piranhas are not the only danger here. There are two more things to keep in mind, and one of them are river krusts. It is a better idea to kill them but, if you don't want to raise alarm, it's better to use the crossbow. To kill a river krust, you need to take a shot when the creature "opens up".
Another danger is the weepers that occupy the area. They are best neutralized by discharging sleeping bolts or by rendering them unconscious from behind, without being seen.
From among all of the buildings in the Rudshore Waterfront, the one show in the above screenshot is the most important one. You can access it by means of teleporting towards the window or the balcony. Inside the building there are gold, food, Donovan's Journal and a bone charm.
It would be a good idea to explore the buildings located at the other side of the water reservoir (the above screenshot). It is best to gain access from the rooftops, by regular utilization of teleportation. Around, there are gold, food, a Letter to Heather that contains a safe combination, and a Sokolov's painting (it can be found in a room in which weepers are also staying so, be careful).
