Infiltrating the Dunwall Tower | Mission 6 - Return to the Tower Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before you decide to enter the Dunwall Tower, remember the main threats described in the previous subsections, i.e. the watchtower and the tallboy. These are not the only ones that you will encounter on your way to the Tower. The main path to the Tower is fitted with a wall of light (the above screenshot). You can, of course, try and jump over the wall of light, or use Blink, but due to a high density of security measures and guards, I would recommend against it.
The safest way to reach the main entrance is to go through the warehouse described above, and unlock a passageway for yourself with the valve handle (the above screenshot). Keep in mind, however, the engineer's warning, concerning piranhas. That is why it is advisable to limit the time in water to a minimum (or kill out the piranhas with your crossbow).
Notice that the small square in front of the Tower's main entrance is patrolled by several guards. You can, of course, try and go around them but, if you are going to explore the area (or e.g. disable the watchtower), it is better to eliminate them. Around, there are two lodges with gold and two Piero's spiritual remedies.
You can now focus on how to infiltrate the Dunwall Tower. The most obvious patch is through the main entrance, especially that it isn't locked.
Another variant assumes that you move over to the Tower's ledges above. This will allow you to reach the ventilation shaft entrance (the above screenshot). After you take the tunnel, you start the exploration of the Tower on the ground floor, just not in front of, but above the main hall.
The most obvious approach here is by using the underwater tunnel. Because there is a grate that separates you from it, you would have to possess one of piranhas in the moat. The abovementioned tunnel leads to a small side room with gold and door leading to the Tower.
Note - I strongly recommend that you now get acquainted with the further four subsections to this guide. Otherwise, if you are in a hurry, skip to the subsections entitled Infiltrate Lord Regent's Chambers and Choose your way of eliminating Lord Regent That are connected entirely with the quest's main aim.
