Getting around the second outpost | Mission 4 - The Royal Physician Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Near the outpost, there are even more guards, so you will have to watch your steps even more in order not to get within their sight. Just like in the case of the first outpost, the central point to this one is the lodge with a single guard inside, and an indestructible spotlight next to it.

You can get to the outpost mainly by choosing the main road. Make sure that you have the key from the first floor of the warehouse on you, and use it to open the door on the ground floor (the above screenshot).

Going to the outpost in a straight line is nothing short of a suicide, of course. That is why you need to turn right as soon as possible, and go towards the waterlock. This will allow you to go around the outpost and reach the barge and catwalks (the above screenshot). It is worth mentioning that the area is patrolled by two more guards and it has been described in details in the further part of the text.

Fortunately, you can approach the outpost in two different ways, and both of them are attention worthy. The first one is using the railroad car located on the first floor of the warehouse. The car is inactive by default, so you need take the stairs to the second floor and jump over to a ledge with whale oil containers on it. Take one of the containers and place it carefully into the slot (the above screenshot).

Do not try walking over the rail, or else you would be electrocuted. Instead, jump into the car, duck and pull the lever (the above screenshot). The only thing remaining for you to do is wait for the car to take you towards the outpost.

The other one of the above mentioned, safe methods is swimming up towards the outpost. You would have to reach the ledge shown in the above screenshot, and start climbing.

If you plan on eliminating the guards here, I recommend that you start with the ones gathered around the outpost (the above screenshot). The bodies are best stashed near the water, which will prevent anyone from noticing them. If, on the other hand, you do not want to attack anyone, you may go towards the area exit right away. This, however, will make you miss several secret items.

It's a good idea to explore the entire area before leaving it. First of all, I suggest using the abovementioned alley, located at the main, asphalt road that leads up to the outpost. After you find yourself behind the building, position yourself on the small balcony, look up, and grab onto the loose chain shown in the above screenshot. Pull up and leap towards the catwalk. Enter the building and collect the rune. It is also a good idea to get into the neighboring room, where there is gold and food.

Another one of the optional activities is to explore the area around the waterlock, and it's best reached by means of the door marked Waterlock Access (the above screenshot), located behind the lodge. There are two guards around, but if you take precautions, you will be able to eliminate them easily. Note - if you do not want to attack the enemies, use teleport. It is also a good idea to swim up to the waterlock instead of using catwalks.

Approach the waterlock and look around for gold and food. Use the switch to lower the waterlock and walk over it to reach the balcony at the other side. Use the second switch, and quickly return onto the lock, ao that it lifts you. The purpose of this all is to reach the balcony shown in the above screenshot. Watch out for a weeper occupying the building. After you eliminate him, look around for gold, Sokolov's health elixir and a bone charm.

Regardless of how long it took you to explore the area around the second outpost, you now need to reach the door at the back of the lodge (the above screenshot).
