Get to the Dunwall Tower | Mission 9 Dishonored 2 Guide
Last update: 27 December 2016
After you get to the Dunwall Tower, you have to unlock the gate thanks to which you get into the castle. Head into the building on the right, pick up the whale oil tank and fill it up to place it into the power box. Finally, open the gate with the button on the main console. On the left, there also is a dying overseer that you can talk to. After the conversation, head for the main gate across which you enter the Dunwall Tower.
While crossing the gate, you will spot several "plants" that have been left here by the witches. You can destroy them with incendiary bolts, while keeping your distance, or sneak past them without being noticed, over the pipes under the ceiling. If you decide to use incendiary bolts, you will not lose your "merciful" status at the end of the mission.
Take the same path to the blocked passage and climb onto the pipes on the right. Over them, you will get to the upper yard, where you will encounter two witches (if you have not used the microphone in the previous mission, there will be four of them now). Past the blocked passage, you will also find gravehounds' skulls, that you have to destroy with the crossbow.
After you have made it to the top, you will get into the room, where there are several witches performing a ritual. You can eliminate them with a well-placed stun mine of tier three. You simply have to sneak up to the table in the center of the room and place it so that it encompasses all the enemies in its blast. You will have to eliminate the last (the fourth) opponent in a standard way, by choking. In the same room, in the bowl in the corner there is another bone charm.
After you have cleared the room, climb onto the rooftop of the same building and look towards the yard (the screenshot). Here, you will find several witches and a hound. On the left, there is another section with three witches and a gravehound skull. First of all, fire your crossbow at the skull and as a result, the witches there will start patrolling the premises. This will be your opportunity to eliminate them, because in any other case, they will be separated.
After you have eliminated all of the opponents, return to the rooftop and let the hound patrolling around the fire spot you. As a result, it will run up to you and will let you kill it with a crossbow. Remember that killing the hound with the sword counts as an assassination, which is not the case with the crossbow. Also, you have to remember to destroy its flaming skull after you kill the dog, or it will be reborn after several moments.
To eliminate the witches in the center, you can use glass bottles that you find in the room. This way, you can lure them out one-by-one and eliminate them without any problems. You can conceal bodies of the enemies on the roof.
Regardless of how you have dealt with the witches, head left and you will get into the area shown in the above screenshot. You can go to the docks on the left and collect another bone charm, and pay homage to Jessamine at the plaque in the garden, up ahead. Also, you will find your first painting in this mission.
First, head into the garden, where Jessamine was killed in the first Dishonored game and hop onto the wall shown in the above screenshot. Downstairs, there are two witches and a hound. Just like earlier, let yourself be spotted by the hound, so that a grey mark appears above its head and jump onto the dome behind you. As soon as the hound comes over to see what is going on, eliminate it with the crossbow. The witches that have been conversing now walk their separate ways, which will enable you to eliminate them quickly. Down below, on the right, there is a painting - Luca, His Eyes Upon Me. Before you go get it, destroy all of the gravehound skulls.
Before you go deeper into the Dunwall Tower, go to the docks and jump onto the pipes by the right side of the building, shown in the above screenshot. This way, you will find another bone charm. You just have to watch out for the two witches there.
After you have collected all of the collectibles, return to the garden, where Jessamine was killed. Jump over the wall on the left and you will end up in the area shown in the above screenshot. Up ahead, there is a single witch and the building entrance on the left. There are two more witches inside.
After you have eliminated the witches, you can collect another rune. Jump onto the podium and drop into the hole between the wall and the podium to enter a blocked-off room with the rune between pipes.
After you leave the building, you will only have to clear the central part of the yard. Here, there are three witches, of which two are turned away from you and the third one is patrolling the area. Wait for the patrolling one to face the fire and eliminate the one shown in the above screenshot. Repeat this tactic for the rest of the witches and head for the Dunwall Tower main entrance.
There are two ways inside. One of them is the main gate to the left and the other one is the canal a bit farther ahead. If you take the canal, you will be able to collect several coins from the corpse there, but watch out for the hound lurking around, Regardless of your choice, enter and start searching for the throne room entrance, where there is Delilah
