Infiltrating the Golden Cat club | Mission 3 - House of Pleasure Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
If you have entered through the main entrance, you will start the exploration of The Golden Cat at the road leading up to the club. Look out for the guards you may encounter on your way there (three, at least) and courtisans. Don't expect that the employees will behave the same way civilians do when they see Corvo. Therefore, it is best to avoid courtisans or take them out quietly.
If you've decided to enter through the hotel, you will be starting in a way more interesting place, i.e. on on building roofs, across the street from the club. As a result, it will be easier for you to plan your moves and, should the need arise, to avoid the people walking down below.
I recommend that you explore this part of the map before you do anything. It is especially worthwhile to explore the interior of the building to the right (the above screenshot). It is best to get there using Blink. On the higher floor of the building there is a rune.
Traditionally for this kind of situations, the Golden Cat club can be accessed in a variety of ways. The most obvious variant is choosing the main entrance. It isn't a giid udea though, there are several guards around and you would have to make sure to avoid at least one courtesan. Note - apart from entering through the main entrance, you could also go through a nearby ventilation shaft, as a rat, to enter the changing room located in the building's basement.
A bit better an idea is to get in through a small balcony on the first floor and more specifically the one above the main entrance. You can do it by jumping or teleporting over the roofs of buildings. The balcony is occupied by a single guard and, depending on your preference, you can either go around him or eliminate him.
There is another, even more interesting way through the opened window. Since the window is located right above the balcony, you can reach it in a nearly identical way. The upside of this approach is that you do not need to avoid anyone while doing this.
The least obvious approach assumes that you get inside through inderwater tunnels. To do that, you would have to go left and reach the spot with a courtesan in it (the above screenshot). Remember that courtesans can cause an alarm to be raised, so you need to either render her unconscious or go around her.
Approach water and use Possession on one of piranhas. After you take over the fish, enter the tunnel shown in the above screenshot. It will take you to a room with showers in the building's basement.
Note - I recommend that you now acquaint yourself with the further subsection of this guide entitled Explore the Golden Cat club. If, for any reason you are in a hurry, you can skip this step and go about rescuing Emily right away (Rescue Emily) and eliminating the twins (Choose a way to Eliminate the Pendelton Twins).
