Gaining access to Sokolov's apartment | Mission 4 - The Royal Physician Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Sokolov's apartment is located at the other end on the district so, if you haven't eliminated the guards mentioned in the previous subsection, it would be a good idea to go around them now. It pays off, in such a situation, to turn right (the above screenshot), thanks to which it will be easier to avoid any contact.
[Sokolov's House] can be accessed in three different ways. The first one assumes that you use the main entrance. Note that the area is patrolled by two guards so, if you do not intend to kill them, you need to teleport towards the door and enter the building before you are noticed. If you, however, don't mind using force (wait for them to scatter), explore the area for pistol ammo and a grenade.
Variant two assumes that you gain access through the basement located underneath the mansion's main entrance. You can reach it by walking over pipes, or by swimming up to it. It is worth noting that the basement is not guarded at all.
Variant three assumes that you reach the mansion's upper balconies and it's decidedly the best idea, if you want to finish this mission as quickly as possible, because Sokolov is staying in the greenhouse on the roof. If you haven't upgraded your Blink power to its maximum, and you cannot teleport over larger distances, you can try and jump over to the chain, or climb starting from the place, where the main entrance is located. Watch out a single guard patrolling the upper balconies.
Note - if you haven't managed to reach the balconies right away or, if you are planning on exploring the mansion thoroughly, skip to the subsection entitled Explore Sokolov's apartment.
