Exploring the Dunwall Tower Ground Floor | Mission 6 - Return to the Tower Dishonored Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New main quest: Find the Lord Regent's bedchambers

Note - I recommend that, apart from the below description, you also acquaint yourself with the Tower Map contained in the subsection entitled Mission Plan. This should help you while navigating the Tower's floors.

On the ground floor of the [Dunwall Tower] location, as a matter of fact, there are few places to explore. At the entrance, look around for Piero's spiritual remedy (and a copy of the Tower Map) and wait for General Tobias that you can see in the distance, finishes talking to Lord Regent. Only after that, start acting. Watch out for the patrolling guards and, if you intend to eliminate them, their bodies are best stashed at the Tower's main entrance.

The door to the right of the hal lead to the room with the underwater tunnel in it (the one you may have used to infiltrate the Tower). The door to the right of the main staircase leads to the kitchen . It is locked by default and needs a special Dunwall Tower skeleton key to open, which you may have found during the previous mission in Esma Boyle's bedroom. It's not the only such obstacle because, further in the mission, you will find here and there, door that requires the very same key. Do not worry, though. You can go around all of the locked doors in different ways.

After you open the door, collect the Dunwall Tower kitchen key. As far as the kitchen itself is concerned, you will encounter here a few servants and, at least, one guard. Traditionally now, you can decide on whether you want to eliminate the enemies you encounter, or go around them. In the former case, I recommend that you stash them in a nearby container. In the kitchen itself there are no unique items, only gold, food, rewire tool and a Piero's spiritual remedy.

The easiest way to reach the first floor is through the stairs (the above screenshot). You should, of course, watch out for the nearby guards. Turn your attention to the communication terminal used for communications with Lord Regent. It is OFF by default but, if you have already lead to alarm being raised, you can use it to make Lord Regent a bit anxious, and to tell him who he is actually dealing with.

If you do not want to take the main stairs, you can take one of the two passages located in the abovementioned kitchen - the stairs (the above screenshot) or the hole located above the trash container.
