Infiltrating the fort | Mission 9 - The Light at the End Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

There are three different ways to infiltrate the fort. The first variant assumes that you take the harbor-side entrance which is located to the left of the starting point (the above screenshot). The entrance can be recognized by a large letter A painted on walls.

The harbor area is occupied by numerous enemies, including an overseer with a device that inhibits Corvo's powers. If you are going to eliminate your enemies, try and attack them one by one, and avoid being spotted by larger groups. It is also a good idea to make sure that corpses are concealed in places that are not frequented by anybody, because you need to be aware of the fact that, after a while, new enemies may unexpectedly exit the fort.

If you prefer to go around the enemies, you can use your powers or use pass under catwalks shown in the above screenshot. Using these passages and manholes will allow you to approach the current destination, without any problem. Whenever it is possible (securing the area), you should take a look around the harbor to find ammo, Sokolov's health elixir, Piero's spiritual remedy and grenades.

Variant two assumes that you infiltrate the fort through the beach-side entrance which is located to the right of the starting point (the above screenshot). The entrance can be recognized by a large letter B painted on walls.

Also around here, there are a plethora of enemies. Still, the most serious threat is the active arc pylon shown in the above screenshot. The safest option is to stay away from the pylon, but you can, just as well, find a device connected to it, which can be then used to disable or rewire the pylon.

Just like in the case of the harbor-side entrance, you can use passages underneath catwalks in order to approach enemies safely and eliminate them, or go around them. Traditionally, I recommend that you make sure to conceal corpses properly. Finally, take a look around the area for Sokolov's health elixir, Piero's spiritual remedy and sleeping bolts.

The thing that variants one and two have in common, is that, in both cases, you are separated from the fort entrance by walls of light. What is even more, they cannot be quickly disabled. This problem can be approached in two ways. The first one is about possessing a rat in order to pass through a small ventilation shaft .

The other way requires you to reach the sewer entrance shown in the above screenshot, located in between the two fort entrances described above. It is a good idea to aid yourself with teleportation to approach the entrance.

Pass through the tunnel and start climbing after you reach metal balconies. Eventually, you should reach interconnected control rooms which should be patrolled by a single guard. The most important thing to do here, is find the whale oil tank, or the control panel linked to the wall of light of your choice. After the performance of the activities that are known to you, you will be able to return to the inactive, or rewired wall of light and enter the fort as a result. I recommend that, since you are there, you should search around the control rooms for gold, Sokolov's health elixir and Piero's spiritual remedy.

The last, third variant assumes that you reach another sewer entrance . To do that, you need to go to the right of the beach-side entrance (variant 2; letter B), thus reaching the bunker shown in the above screenshot, guarded by two enemies. Go around them, or dispose of them. Inside the bunker, there are ammo and Sokolov's health elixir.

Regardless of whether you have disposed of the guards or not, use Blink (teleportation) to reach the sewer entrance shown in the above screenshot. Using this tunnel will allow you to gain access to the fort without the necessity to worry about the active walls of light.
