Get Overseer Byrne's body | Mission 6 Dishonored 2 Guide
Last update: 12 December 2016
Warning! Similarly to the previous section, the guide will focus on a situation where you aren't carrying Paolo's body, so you need to get through the Overseers territory by using stealth. If you have his body, you can go straight to Byrne's office, and knock him out. The important thing is to have some sleeping darts. If you are out of stock, visit the black market shop located in the middle of the district to replenish your supply. The entrance to the shop is shown on the screenshot above. The way to the left leads to Howlers, while Overseers territory is straight ahead. The shop is on the right.
Follow the main street, and enter the rocks on the left, to sneak up to the first overseer. Watch out for the guard on the balcony, and if he sees you, wait until he looks the other way. Once you stun the first one, jump on the balcony and take care of the troublesome overseer.
You'll also notice two overseers which are preparing to execute some civilians for a trivial reason. You can stop that from happening if you are fast enough, but satisfaction will be your only reward. There is a downside: a few overseers may enter the area to search it through. Regardless of your approach, eliminate those two guards to be able to access the next part of the location.
A nice view on the city should appear before you. Turn right, you should see the location shown on the screenshot. Eliminate two guards and disarm the trap. Once you've through with the trap, take a look through the window of the house. There should be a locked door (watch out for the second trap). If you want to rob the black market shop, destroy the plank blocking the door. Use the crossbow if you want to rob the shop quietly.
Now, use the stairs in the building with the black market shop to reach the upper floor. You can see the stairs on the attached screenshot. The shop is to the right, while its backdoor (blocked) is at the end of the hall. The first floor contains an apartment that can be opened only if you've destroyed the wooden barrier described in the previous paragraph. A Wedding Silvergraph with a written tip regarding the access code to the black market shop's backdoor can be found in the desk located in the main room of the apartment. The note says "Wed the month of X, A love without refrain". In this case, X is the name of the month written on your piece of paper.
After reading the tip, proceed to the hall, which contains a table with numerical data, shown on the screenshot above. In my case, I've had the month of rain. The table shows that "rain" can be written as 4, while the number marked by the red circle is the next part of the code (in this case, the code is 413). Now, return to the backdoor of the black market shop, input the code, and knock out the vendor. Aside from typical weaponry, you'll find a Map of Stilton's Home (which can be acquired on the location) and a bone charm.
Return to the location where you've eliminated the overseers, and use the stairs to continue in the direction of the outpost. Watch out for wolves and patrolling guards, so switch to a higher floor when the opportunity arises. The next fight will require serious accuracy and speed, so have sleeping darts on standby. When the two overseers below are nearby, put the white wolfhound to sleep, and eliminate the guards before they understand what is going on. Repeat the action with two guards and the wolfhound on the street. Keep away from dogs, as on higher difficulty levels they can smell your character from very long distances.
Regardless of how you've handled the enemy, proceed to the main entrance, where another group of guards is waiting. First, take care of the one sitting behind the desk, and then the one who is patrolling the lobby. Use the ledge upstairs to do some recon (see the screenshot). There is a window and a wooden scaffolding behind the person on the screenshot, It's the best place to hide the bodies of eliminated enemies.
Once you deal with the enemies, proceed to the alley on the left (see the screenshot). At the end of the road, turn left, and jump on the upper floor, and get onto the pipes. You'll enter Corvo Attano's childhood home. Visit the bedroom to locate a compartment containing a collectible(Blade Verbena Trophy) and a whalebone. Destroy the planks blocking the window to get inside. Finding the compartment completes a special action.
Now move to the Overseer outpost main stairs, and you'll find yourself in the area shown on the screenshot. There is a small office on the right, with a guard by the desk. A room with two guards is found on the left. Room on the left is patrolled by a guard, so eliminate him first. The second overseer - the sleeping one - has the Confiscation Room Key. The room itself is located in the area where you've encountered the first guard. Inside, you'll find another rune, a whalebone and some valuables.
Return to the stairs and ascend to the first floor, and you should see the view shown on the screenshot above. Another overseer stands behind the statue on the right, so jump through the first window on the right, and catch him from behind.
The first room will be locked, but if you'll climb on the ledge, you should see a small passageway through which you can pass through (screenshot). You'll see another guard on the other side.
Warning! A conversation between two guards will be heard in the distance. When you take care of the standing guard's body, one of the speakers will go on patrol, and will try to enter the neighboring room. Stand on the bookcase to be able to catch him off guard. On the other side, you'll see an overseer praying above his friend's body - take care of him.
There is a balcony directly above the last enemy. Reach it using blink or far reach, and proceed to vice overseer Byrne's office. You'll find yourself in the location shown on the screenshot. There are two praying overseers directly below you, while Byrne is by the desk. Jump on the chandelier, land on Byrne, and knock him out (only on lower difficulty levels), or use blink to get behind his back and strangle him using the classic way. Once Byrne is eliminated, approach the overseer on the right, and only then the one on the left. This way, none of the remaining guards will notice you. There is a note on the desk - Vice Overseer's Report and Durante's Key, which is necessary to open the door found in his office above Paolo's bar. The desk also contains a bone charm.
Before you pick-up Byrne's body and leave the area, jump on the balcony that is opposite to the one which you've used to enter the room. The area contains another painting and an audiograph.
