Meeting with the Loyalists | The Hound Pits Pub Dishonored Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
New Main Quest: Meet with the Loyalists in the bar
Wait for Samuela's boat to reach [The Hound Pits Pub] And follow him. Enter the pub through any of the doors (it may be the one with Samuel at it - the above screenshot).
Warning - the location is a sort of a base, and you will be returning here many times during your gameplay. The area is vast and it is rich in loot (gold, notes, books, audio journals etc.), but you do not need to set out to find them all right now. I would even strongly advise against it, at least until you unlock Blink power (teleport). That's when you will be able to reach several initially inaccessible locations. This will also make it easier to travel between individual islets (less problems with piranhas).
Enter the pub's main room and approach the characters at the counter - admiral Havelock and lord Traevor Pendleton. Listen to the conversation, at the end of which you will be sent to Piero.
New Main Quest: Meet Piero in his workshop near the dock
Exit the building, you'd best choose the same door that Samuel used to stand at. Turn right and enter the newly opened workshop building, occupied by Piero. Initiate conversation with him and you will be asked to perform an easy task.
New Main Quest: Get a fresh whale oil tank from upstairs
Go upstairs and approach the device on the right (the above screenshot) and collect whale oil tank.
Note - If you drop the tank or cause it to detonate in any other way, you will have to undergo an additional procedure. You'd have to "summon" an empty tank using two devices located upstairs, and fill it with whale oil.
New Main Quest: Place the whale oil tank in the receptacle
Return downstairs and approach the receptacle automatically. Piero will reward you with an assassin's mask, and additionally he will let you buy supplies and upgrades from him (the upper right dialogue option). If you have enough gold, it is of course worth to buy something cool.
New Main Quest: Go to bed and get some rest
Go back to the pub's main building. Right after you enter it, turn right and you will be facing a staircase (the above screenshot). Use the stairs and go to the uppermost, fourth floor.
Go through rooms until you reach [Corvo's Chambers]. Approach the marked bed and interact with it. Confirm that you want to go to sleep (upper-right option on the list)
