Meeting with Piero and Sokolov | Mission 8 - The Loyalists Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Before you turn to doing the main quest, it would be a good idea to complete all of the side quests connected with Piero. Step one is, of course, getting near Piero's workshop and, as you can probably remember, it is located right next to the pub building. If you are starting on the ground floor, you can also make use of the chain mentioned in the earlier part of this description (the above screenshot).
A way better means of reaching Piero's workshop is taking the footbridge connecting the third floor of the pub (Corvo's chambers) with the tower that Emily used to stay in. Regardless of the path you decide on, stop after you reach the workshop's rooftop
The only way to get inside the workshop is by reaching its external balcony, and more precisely, the one that overlooks the river. The balcony has been shown in the above screenshot, and make sure that you aren't spotted, while attempting to reach it, by a tallboy.
Start by exploring the upper floor of the workshop, and find food, a rune and an Audiograph - Piero Finds a New Ally. Go down the stairs now, in order to meet with Piero and Sokolov. Listen to the conversation carefully, and learn that your allies need help to complete working on the arc pylon on the workshop's roof.
