After you have sufficiently explored the first part of the district, consider how to go around the first wall of light. The possibilities are plentiful and the game itself will suggest a few of them, by displaying hints after you approach the wall. Note - do not try to get through the wall without preparation (even by means of teleporting), because this equals to Corvo's death. The easiest, in my opinion, solution to this problem is to remove the whale oil container from the slot shown in the above screenshot. This will stop power supply to the wall.

A method equally easy is to climb up on the items located to the left or to the right of the active wall - Getting past the first Wall of Light - Mission 2 - High Overseer Campbell - Dishonored - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A method equally easy is to climb up on the items located to the left or to the right of the active wall. It's advisable especially that you do not even have to use teleportation while going up.

If you have done in accordance with my suggestion and explored the district's side alleys, you may now start climbing in near the building in which there was Griff (the above screenshot) or in the spot in which the dealer will be standing after you free him - Getting past the first Wall of Light - Mission 2 - High Overseer Campbell - Dishonored - Game Guide and Walkthrough

One of the most sophisticated ways to get around the wall of light is by using the force of Possession, assuming that it's already available for you to use - Getting past the first Wall of Light - Mission 2 - High Overseer Campbell - Dishonored - Game Guide and Walkthrough

One of the most sophisticated ways to get around the wall of light is by using the force of Possession, assuming that it's already available for you to use. You would have to find a damaged grate to the left of the gate (the above screenshot), possess one of the nearby rats, and get through to the other side/

A less obvious thing to do is to hack the control panel, to the right of the wall, using a rewire tool - Getting past the first Wall of Light - Mission 2 - High Overseer Campbell - Dishonored - Game Guide and Walkthrough

A less obvious thing to do is to hack the control panel, to the right of the wall, using a rewire tool . The action modifies the operation of the wall in such a way, that it now lets Corvo through and kills enemies that try to get through it.

New Main Quest: Get past the second Wall of Light

Right after you go past the first wall of light, you will reach a small square - Getting past the first Wall of Light - Mission 2 - High Overseer Campbell - Dishonored - Game Guide and Walkthrough

Right after you go past the first wall of light, you will reach a small square. As far as it's possible, I suggest that you remain here on the upper levels, because the entire of the area is patrolled by four guards. At the same time, you should turn your attention to one of the balconies (the above screenshot) that can be reached from the Griff side. On the balcony, there is a Sokolov's health elixir and a book. I suggest that you go now to Dr Galvani's flat (and then to the gang'a headquarters). If you want to focus entirely on the mission's main aim, you should skip to the part entitled Get past the second wall of light.
