Getting around the third outpost | Mission 4 - The Royal Physician Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before you get to go around the third outpost, you need to notice it first. I assume that you are starting somewhere around the eastern river bank, right after you've walked over the drawbridge. Keep your eyes open, because the area is patrolled by at least three enemies. You could go about eliminating them, but you can just as well go around them. In the latter case, you'd better choose the lower path, i.e. the one that you might have already gone through with Alec.
Since you are already here, it would be a good idea to explore the lodge located at this side of the river (unless you already have). Inside, you can find ammo, Sokolov's health elixir and a pier door key. Follow the main path in order to reach the passage to the next location (Midrow Substation). Once there, collect food, Sokolov's health elixir, a rune, a book and the Overseer's music note.
The surroundings are patrolled by quite large numbers of guards, so it would be a good idea to devote a few moments to planning further steps. It's not advisable to choose the main path. It's much better to get at the back of the building to the right (the above screenshot) and try to remain on rooftops, or other places above the ground.
The passage to the district, where Sokolov's apartment is located, is guarded by another wall of light, and going around it can be tricky. In order to go around it or rewire it, you will have to reach an enclosed area to the left of the wall.
The objects controlling the wall of light may be reached in two ways. The easier solution assumes using Blink (teleport) to get over the fence to the left (the above screenshot).
A less obvious variant assumes that you stop the running machinery that somewhat guards the entrance to the enclosed area. The problem may solve itself when you use the time stop power or reach the control room located on the catwalk above. It is worth mentioning here that the catwalk is patrolled by a single guard that you would have to eliminate or avoid at all times.
Regardless of the method adopted by you, you need to cut off the power source (whale oil tank) or rewire (the control panel) the wall of light. Before you go on, though, explore the entire area to find Piero's spiritual remedy and gold. You can also go to the water reservoir and kill river krusts to obtain their pearls. After you cross the wall of light, you should go and explore the warehouse to the left (the above screenshot). You can gain access to the warehouse by means of teleporting to the upper-floor balcony only.
Start exploring the warehouse's upper floors to find gold, food, Sokolov's health elixir, Piero's spiritual remedy and three books. Go to the very bottom and turn your attention to the woman cornered by rats (the above screenshot). The easiest solution to the issue is throw down one of corpses, so that the rats develop interest in it.
Approach the woman and convince her that she should escape. It's also a good idea to explore the remaining part of the warehouse's underground, to find gold, a book and a bone charm.You do not need to walk to the woman anymore, so you may now leave. Eventually, choose the passage to the [Northern Bridgeway]. Depending on your preference, you may now explore the new area (the Explore Sokolov's apartment subsection), or you can focus entirely on the main quest (the Gain access to Sokolov's apartment subsection).
