Gaining access into the gatehouse | Mission 9 - The Light at the End Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The gatehouse is a separate area in the fort, and it can be reached in three different ways, although their availability is governed by your gaming style. Variant one assumes that you take the main entrance guarded by a wall of light (the above screenshot). The important piece of information is that this variant is only available with a low chaos rating.

A considerable problem here is, of course, the wall of light. In order to solve the problem, you need to gain access to the higher levels of the fort, and more specifically, into the gatehouse control room located in its western part (the above screenshot). Look out for, at least, one guard remaining in this area and, depending on your preference, either disable or rewire the wall of light.

Right after you return to the neutralized wall of light, keep vigilant. As I have already mentioned, there are many enemies in the yard and, at the other side of the wall, there is at least one guard, who may be turned your way. It is a good idea to use a power here (teleportation, possession, time hold etc.), or wait for the enemy to turn away.

Variant two assumes accessing the gatehouse through a hole in the wall (the above screenshot) and its is only available with the high chaos rating.

The hole in the wall is best accessible through the Gatehouse Control Room, located on the upper level of the fort. Instead of entering the control room, climb onto its roof. Once there, turn right and teleport over to the small platform shown in the above screenshot.

Then, teleport again to cross the hole. After you dispose of the enemy there, stop for a moment at the dying Lord Pendleton, as you complete the side quest connected with him.

The last one, third variant assumes taking the sewer tunnel system, and it is available regardless of the player's chaos rate. Start by infiltrating the machine room located in the northern part of the fort's ground floor.

Explore the machine room and watch out for, at least, two guards that are staying in this area. Your destination here is the handle shown in the above screenshot and, after you find it, you need to interact with it.

Turn around and jump down. Turn again and that the newly-opened gatehouse passage(the above screenshot).
