Dishonored is the first mission of the game of the same name.

BackgroundEdit

Corvo Attano, the Lord Protector of the Empire of Isles, has been wrongfully accused of the murder of the Empress and sentenced to execution. He must break out of prison and meet with those who authored his escape.

Mission DetailsEdit

At Coldridge PrisonEdit

On the eve of Corvo's execution, a guard will deliver a tray of food to his cell and urge him to eat, saying this meal "comes from a friend." Hidden underneath the bread on the tray is an Anonymous Message and the key to Corvo's cell.

He will then use the key to unlock his cell, and directly outside is a table with a sword on it. There are three guards patrolling the corridor ahead. The first can be eliminated and his body hidden while the latter two are conversing, but the others will require Corvo to wait until they have finished their conversation for him to dispatch them without being noticed.

There is a bridge over the corridor which leads to the yard walkway, which can be accessed by either climbing or taking the stairs. Upon climbing, a pistol can be looted from a weapon rack, along with some food and coin.

The door at the end of the bridge will be locked, and Corvo must pickpocket a guard to procure the key. That done, the walkway leads to a room with another guard and two doors after it: the interrogation room and the courtyard. The latter will be locked for the time being, until the current objective is completed. To accomplish this, Corvo must enter the interrogation room to fetch the clockwork explosive, which is contained within the safe at the back of the room.

After fetching the explosive, Corvo will witness one of the City Watch guards entering the yard, where they will begin a conversation with another guard. Corvo can sneak around them by hiding behind the different obstacles in the room, or picking each off while the other cannot see. From this point, he can take the stairs at the other end of the yard, which lead to the prison's control room.

In the control room, there will be two options available to Corvo. He can either dispatch the guards in the room and pull the lever to open the door, or he can climb onto some pipes opposite the offices and traverse into the next room. If a body is previously placed in front of Corvo's cell, it may attract the guards' attention and lure them away.

Corvo will need to dispatch the two guards in the room, and can then plant the explosives on the door to escape. If Corvo chose to open the door to enter the room, he can use the lever in this room to close it behind him: this will prevent any guards left in the facility from entering following the explosion.

(Clean Hands note: There is a dumpster next to the outer door, and if an unconscious guard is placed in it, the explosion will kill him, locking the Clean hands achievement.)

When the door to the prison's forecourt is destroyed, Corvo must dive in the water and swim to the sewers' entrance.

Dunwall SewersEdit

Shortly after entering the sewers, there will be a note, as well as a locked gate to a cell blocking the path. Corvo will need to climb the cell and crawl through the small space overhead. A swarm of rats will convene below, and two guards on the other side of another cell door can be heard talking about Corvo. As Corvo approaches the door, the guards will open it, and will be attacked and consumed by the rats.

Corvo can then descend from the top of the cell and dive into the water nearby. On swimming through the sewer outlet, there will be a dead couple curled together if Corvo turns back, with a journal laying beside them. Following this, there is a crank wheel that Corvo must turn to continue ahead, which can be operated by lifting away the corpse that is leaning on it. This crank will open up a passage to a cistern, where some City Watch guards will throw two corpses from above.

Corvo will need to avoid the rats by circling around the area, and then quickly make his way onto the platform in the middle. Here he can pick up and throw one of the corpses away from the crank wheel, in order to distract the rats, giving him the opportunity to open the gate.

Progressing on, Corvo will need to climb a chain, and there are some items at the top which can be looted. However, Corvo must be cautious of the two traps in the area that are activated by tripwires. To disable them, he can throw some debris such as an empty bottle at the wire, or interact with the wire and dodge out of the way of the launched bolt. Alternatively, he can locate the launchers and disable them, which give one incendiary bolt each.

Corvo then finds a weapons stash and a note to him from the Loyalists, which mentions that a crossbow and a sword have been constructed for his personal use. Following this, Corvo can also unlock the door next to him with a key provided.

After sliding underneath a tripwire, the next group of guards in the sewers can be dispatched as per usual, or avoided completely by swimming underwater. Following Corvo's interaction – or non-interaction – with them, only a short tunnel separates him from the sewer exit. Samuel Beechworth will be waiting there to transport him to the Hound Pits Pub.

Side ObjectivesEdit

During his time in the sewers, Corvo will come across a safe, with a note that provides a hint on how to open it. The combination for the safe can be located nearby, behind a shelf of whiskey bottles.
In the final part of the sewers that contains guards, there is a small hermit's hovel that can be found by breaking a wooden barrier, which might otherwise be missed due to the wood blending in with the sewers' surroundings. Inside are some lootable items and a note. Corvo can also access this area by walking on the pipes above, then jumping down into the room. The room can then be escaped by climbing the debris near the wall. This allows access without breaking the boards which would likely alert any guards.
After walking out into the open from the sewers, Corvo can dive into the water. At the bottom is a chest which can be opened and yields 80 coins.
