Getting past the second watchtower | Mission 3 - House of Pleasure Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before you reach the second watchtower, you will have to get through the second (the only active) wall of light. Just to remind you, the easiest way to do it, is to disable it by removing the whale oil canister located on its right side (the above screenshot). Notice however, that there appeared a control panel for the wall, so you can use the rewire tool to disable it. In both cases, you of course you would have to make sure that you are not seen by any of the nearby guards.
Still, there is analternative way of getting around the wall of light, and its by using side alleys. Also this time around, you will be witness to a situation. This time, it will be two guards attempting to snatch an elixir from an innocent woman, and if you do not take a decisive action, she will be murdered. If you want to help the woman and not reveal yourself, you can use your powers or sleeping bolts. For saving the woman, you will be rewarded with the art dealer's apartment key, that will come in handy in the later part of the quest. Note - if the woman dies, you will be able to obtain the key anyways, but you will have to run through the woman's pockets. Around, you can also find gold, fiid and Sokolov's health elixir.
The second watchtower is located right behind the wall of light and it's best avoided if you've chosen to go through the side alleys. Just like in the case of the first watchtower, you can deprive it of its power supply by teleporting to the top and removing the whale oil tank
The area around the watchtower is patrolled by three or four guards and eliminating them may be somewhat tricky, because their paths intersect. If you do not want to lose time with the guards, you can move along roofs or aid yourself with your powers. If, on the other hand, you managed to eliminate all of them, don't forget to explore the area, because you can find here gold, food, ammo, three Sokolov's health elixirs, an official guard report and a rewire tool.
You can approach the neighboring location, the one that the Golden Cat club is located in, in two different ways. Variant one assumes using the main entrance (the above screenshot), located near the second watchtower.
Varint two assumes going through the Captain's Chair Hotel, and it's only possible if you have performed the first quest received from Slackjaw (the Bottle Street Gang leader), because you need a hotel key (The Captain's Chair hotel key) for that. The hotel's entrance is located near the guard booth (the above screenshot).
Start by exploring the ground floor, where you will find ammo and a bone charm. Next, climb the stairs to the higher-located floors, But be careful about rats that will attack you. You can either kill the beasts, or return to the previous corridor and wait for them to go past, and move to the upper floors. After you reach the top floor, you will find a door to the next area.
