Meeting the survivors | Mission 7 - The Flooded District Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Survivors are staying in the dwelling house located to the right of the main square and the quarantine wall (the above screenshot) and it would be a good idea to go there before you decide to leave the area. Be cautious because the area around the tenement is patrolled by tall boys.

After you reach the dwelling house, start exploring it and listen to the conversations that the survivors are having. The only person to address you directly is Blake (the above screenshot). He will be ask you to disable the nearby arc pylon and secure the area, so that the survivors can safely leave.

New Optional Quest: Disable the arc pylon in the back court

New Optional Quest: Keep Blake safe

New Optional Quest: The tallboys and watchmen will attack any of the survivors on sight - keep them from harm

After the two of you are done talking, collect the tenement's key from the table to the right of Blake. Also, finish up the exploration of the building's ground floor to find gold, food and a book. After you are done, find the stairs to the first floor (the above screenshot).

Make your way to the building's top floor to find some gold. Eventually, you should reach the balcony shown in the above screenshot, which gives you a perfect view of the court.

There are two things that you can do here. Variant one assumes that you reach the balcony on the left featuring the control panel for the arc pylon, which you need to reprogram. The downside of this approach is that, as a result, the guard that you can see below will be electrocuted.

Variant two assumes that you teleport to the pylon's power supply slot. In this situation, however, you need to act quickly and remove the whale oil tank before you are electrocuted yourself. What is even more, after you pull that off, you need to take care of the guard (it's best to sneak up from behind and choke him). Regardless of what you decide to do, you also need to explore the area to find incendiary bolts, grenades, Sokolov's health elixir and Piero's spiritual remedy.

New Optional Quest: Go tell Blake that the coast is clear

The new quest is somewhat misleading because there are still tallboys to deal with. If you are planning on going aggressive, it's best to get rid of them with incendiary bolts and grenades. Otherwise, it is a good idea to eliminate them quietly, e.g. by jumping towards them, or teleporting towards them, and performing standard executions (the above screenshot). Try, and eliminate both of the tallboys this way.

Note - do not count on it that waiting for the tallboys to move away will do the trick. Civilians need to be protected up until the moment of their leaving this location. Just because they are not spotted initially, will not do, because they may also be attacked after they reach the court.

Note - if you do not want any alarm to be raised, make sure that you conceal the bodies of the defeated enemies properly.

Only after you secure the area properly, return to Blake and choose the upper-right dialogue option during the conversation with him.

New Optional Quest: Stand watch as the survivors move to the safe haven

Since you have already disposed of both the guard and the tallboys, you do not need to perform any additional action. It is enough if you just wait for all of the civilians to leave the tenement and reach the yard. After you do that, you will complete this mission. You may now carry on with different business, or devote several moments to listening to Blake's speech.
