The Flooded District (mission)

*This article is a stub. You can help Dishonored Wiki by expanding it.*

**The Flooded District** is the seventh mission in the game. In this mission, Corvo wakes up as he is captured by the Whaler assassins while adrift in a boat in the Flooded District of Dunwall.

## Objectives

### (Optional) Creating a Safe Haven

In order to create this safe haven, Corvo must deactivate the Arc Pylon behind the tenement where Blake and the other plague survivors are hiding

* Keep Blake safe
* Stand watch as the survivors move to the safe haven

## Special Actions

### Help Slackjaw Defeat Granny

The final confrontation between Granny Rags and Slackjaw can only be reached if the player has completed at least one side mission for both Granny Rags (found in the High Overseer Campbell mission) and Slackjaw. (found in the House of Pleasure mission) When you first enter the sewers, the marker will point you straight towards a door which you need a key to open. To get this key, you'll need to follow the path to the left you can see when first entering the sewers. The path to Granny Rags' lair has a multitude of River Krusts and involves swimming underwater. When you reach her lair, you'll see many whale rib bone laying around, a bath tub filled with boiling green liquid, and Granny Rags with Slackjaw locked up. If you killed Slackjaw during the House of Pleasure mission you won't be able to save Slackjaw, and his body will appear instead. You can also kill Slackjaw, but doing so won't let you save him.

You can defeat Granny Rags in either a lethal or non-lethal way. Before you can kill or incapacitate her, you must find and destroy her cameo. If you try to hurt her before her cameo is destroyed, she'll turn into a hoard of rats, and reforms elsewhere. Her cameo can be found in her shack, which is up the stairs from Granny Rags and Slackjaw. When you're up there, you'll find her cameo hidden beneath the pillows of her bed. To destroy the cameo now, you'll need to open the nearby furnace, place the cameo inside, then turn on the furnace. Granny Rags can now be killed or incapacitated. She can still use her Outsider's mark however. She'll teleport up to the furnace now and is easily dealt with. After Granny Rags is dead, she'll turn into a swarm of rats, which will attack you before dispersing. To save Slackjaw, you'll need to pull the lever next to him and release him, after which he'll thank you and give you 600 coins.

## Paintings

> Rinaldo, do the job as you were told and do not question my planning again. Yes, the women who meet in the ruins of the Brigmore manor possess abilities like our own. And they use poisons, administered by dart. But just as you share my ability to blink across space through the transversal trick, you also inherit my resistance to some toxins. As I told you when you first joined us, it is another of my gifts that whoever serves me loyally shares in some of my power. This may or may not aid you against their poisons.

>
> The late Lord Boyle and his lovely wife perhaps best epitomize this privileged class of citizens. Their annual costume ball is the talk of high society, creating ripples throughout Dunwall when one family or another is excluded from the guest list. But it's not all play that drives the Boyles; on several occasions, they've generously brought in poor laborers from elsewhere in the city for a week or two to work on their garden or home, providing vital employment for those who need it most.

Shadow Kill

* Dishonored 2
* Dishonored

**Shadow Kill** is one of the enhancements Emily or Corvo can acquire. It allows you to turn unaware enemies to ash as they die. The base level of this power costs 2 runes.

### Upgrades

Upgrading this enhancement changes some of its basic functionality.

* Greater Shadow Kill – Turn all enemies to ash as they die, unaware or aware, Cost: 2 rune
* Bloodfly Swarm – Transform enemies killed in combat into bloodflies as they die, Cost: 3 runes

### Strategic Tips

Shadow Kill turns unaware enemies to ash upon death.

This is useful for stealth, since you can time your actions so that a slain enemy fades before another enemy turns and sees your attack.
Further, you do not have to hide bodies if you have this Enhancement.

**Shadow Kill** is an enhancement which allows for eaier kills and the quick disposal of the bodies after the kill. It costs 2 runes to acquire initially, and an additional 4 runes to upgrade to Level II. Like other enhancements, it consumes no mana.

### Level I

Unaware enemies who don't see you turn to ash as they die.

### Strategic tips

Shadow Kill causes the bodies of slain enemies to turn to ash if they were unaware at the time of their death. This is useful for stealth, since you can time your actions so that one killed enemy fades away before another turns and might see him. Further, you do not have to hide bodies if you have this enhancement, since they turn to ash and fade away. At level 02, this enhancement works even if slain enemies are aware of you.

> Much has been written on Theodanis Abele and his sons. But in her own quiet way the Duchess Callas Abele made contributions to Serkonos that will never be forgotten. A collector of artwork, she commissioned the painting "Radanis Abele's Incongruence with Time", from Anton Sokolov. It was a tribute to her late son, Radanis, who died at the hands of a deranged street scoundrel while studying abroad.
>
>
> The Duchess Abele was also an architect and busied herself with projects as varied as the building of the Orphans of Seafarers Academy and the installation of the marble flooring in the original ducal palace. The marble was a gift to the Abele family from the late Empress Jessamine Kaldwin, who had the stone quarried from the cliffs of Redmoor. However the ducal residence was razed to make room for the new palace constructed under the direction of Luca Abele. Substantially, all of the artworks and treasures from the old residence were lost or destroyed.

Security Panel

**Security Panels** control how the various security devices like Walls of Light and Alarms function in *Dishonored 2*. Using a Rewire Tool on a security panel switches its function to your advantage.

* Causes the first person to touch an alarm to be electrocuted, disables the alarm for any further use

> – Bloodflies are exotic insects, unlike anything else found in Serkonos. I suspect they originated on the Pandyssian Continent.

>
> – In groups of 3 or fewer, they are harmless. Individuals won't attack, leading me to speculate that each emits a scent that has a collective effect on larger numbers of bloodflies.

>
> – Their nests can be broken apart, scattering the swarm. An in particular they nests are quite susceptible to fire.
>
>
> – The insects require fresh corpses to lay their eggs, which hatch in breath-taking fashion, after a very short time. More corpses in a Serkonan city, say during a crisis or plague, mean more bloodflies.
>
>
> – Interestingly, in the last part of a bloodfly's life cycle, they calm a great deal. Leaving the swarm, they molt, causing the wings to drop off. Afterward, each bloodfly lives a solitary existence. Very odd.

Southside Bridgeway

The **Southside Gate** is the southern-most section of Kaldwin's Bridge. It is here that Samuel drops off Corvo. The next section is Drawbridge Way.

## Points of interest

### Abandoned warehouse

Initially, the warehouse is only accessible by climbing a chain to reach a second story balcony.

* Ground floor:
	+ lockers with 2 pieces of Tyvian Ore
* Second floor:
	+ Folded Galvani Resin blueprints (on the desk)
	+ Warehouse Key
	+ 25  and a flask of Piero's Spiritual Remedy
* Third floor:
	+ a rail car which can be used to ride over to the next section of the bridge. The rail car is operated by a switch which requires a whale oil tank for power.
	+ Whale oil tanks on the far side of the rail car
	+ crank-wheel which operates the mechanism to move the chain above the rail car (allowing Corvo to board it)

### Abandoned apartment

THE SILVER SPIKE - Patients Aplenty For Hypatia's Return

Copies of this issue of the Silver Spike are found all over The Isles.

## Content

> “
> A rare piece of welcome news today, fellow citizens of Karnaca! Dr. Alexandria Hypatia has returned to us! For months, we have endured uncertainty about her safety and whereabouts. Dark speculation and endless runaround from the Grand Palace! When Duke Abele closed the doors of Addermire Institute it only served to raise our concerns about Hypatia’s situation.
>
>
> But let it not be said that the Silver Spike reports only on ill winds. It seems that all is indeed well. Doctor Hypatia has confided that she suffered of late from an exhaustive derangement, which kept her from her medical duties. Now on her way to a full recovery, she sends word that, though she is temporarily working away from Addermire, she will give free consultation to anyone in need. Appointments can be made at the offices of the Miners’ Family Committee.

Samuel's Pride in his Role

This audiograph is found inside Samuel's camp behind the Hound Pits Pub if your playthrough has remained low chaos overall.

> “
> I’m taking part in history, here. Dunwall is on the verge of a new age, a better age, and this old sailor has had a role to play in it. I doubt I’ll be remembered, as the worthy men who made this happen are truly the heroes. And one feisty little girl, who hides the sadness of missing her mother very well, bless her. But perhaps someday someone will listen to this and know that a humble sailor named Samuel was a part of it all.

> If I explain, then you will see, I am not at fault. My Poverty Eradication Plan was meant to rid us of those scoundrels who waste their days in filth and drink, without homes or occupations other than to beg for the coin for which the rest of us toil.
>
>
> And it was a simple plan - bring the disease bearing rats from the Pandyssian Continent - and let them take care of the poor for us. The plan worked perfectly. At first. But the rats - it was as if they sought to undo me. They hid from the catchers, and bred at a sickening rate. Soon it didn't matter, rich, poor, all were falling sick.
>
>
> And then people began to ask questions. The Empress assigned me to investigate whether the rats had been imported by a foreign power. I knew the truth would come out eventually. So there was no other way than to be rid of her, and take power myself. She had to die, you see. SHE HAD TO DIE.

> Bringing about the death of an Empress is not an easy thing, but it gave me the chance to attack the plague with some real authority. Quarantines! Deportation of the sick!

> Known for its rolling green hills and foggy meadows, Gristol is the largest of the Isles and is home to half the population of the known world. While most are simple people living in rural areas where sheep, blood oxen and gazelle are raised for their hides and meat, there are also five major cities spread out across the nation. Notably, the capital city of Dunwall is located at the southern end of Gristol.
>
> In general, the people of Gristol are a merry, hard-working lot, fond of fish dishes, sheep pies and beer. The Abbey of the Everyman has a strong presence in Gristol, with the faithful congregating weekly and for all significant religious holidays. The Imperial Navy, while made up of men from across the Isles, is well regarded in Gristol, where some families hold to the tradition of enlisting at least one boy from each generation, back for long years.
>
> In addition to farming, shipping and the whaling trade, there are several large mines scattered across Gristol, each controlled by one of the more established aristocratic families, such as the Boyles, Pendletons, or Brimsleys.

>
> Is it true that her mother was a kitchen maid employed in Dunwall Tower? Even if so, that does not prove she was Emperor Euhorn Kaldwin's daughter! If the Emperor did in fact have a second, secret daughter, making her the true heir to the Kaldwin throne, why didn't he make the proper arrangements?

Stealth

Press *[C]* to toggle **Stealth Mode**, crouching down and walking silently. Your visibility in Stealth Mode is greatly reduced; stay behind cover and out of sight to avoid being detected.

Enemies are slower to detect you in Stealth Mode, especially when you are:

* Farther away from them
* Above them, or at the edge of their peripheral vision
* In shadow (though this matters more at a distance

Stealth Mode enables you to take cover under desks or tables.

To lure enemies away, distract them by throwing an object such as a bottle, or setting the alarm on a clock.

## Mission statistics

During missions, the following statistics are gathered regarding stealth:

* Spotted by Enemies
* Assassinations
* Nonlethal Takedowns

## Tactics

Noise can be both a curse (**alert**) and a boon (**distraction**):

* Making too much noise, which happens if you are not crouching / in stealth mode, can alert enemies to your presence unnecessarily
* Deliberately making noise by throwing objects to distract enemies can help you move around more freely

> Some were seen heading for the docks, near the canal, assumably on their way north. To Dunwall, perhaps? Is there a connection between these strange women and our new Empress, Delilah?

The Foreign Curse, Written and Researched by Tabitha Alba

## Content

> “
> The Great Rat Plague. The Spreading Death. The Foreign Curse. These are names we give to the disease that bloomed briefly, taking tens of thousands of lives as it spread across Gristol from home to home, town to town, preferring neither rich nor poor. The capital city of Dunwall suffered the most, settled so thickly by both people and rats.
>
>
> Many feared the plague would spread to Serkonos, but even beyond the naval blockade effected at the time, several factors kept the sickness from reaching our shores.
>
>
> First, in Serkonos, the population of disease-carrying rats was kept in check by bloodflies. Natural enemies, rats are known to feed on bloodfly larvae, and fully mature bloodflies lay their eggs in rats. Second, it is simply true that Serkonans are healthier than most. With the best foods, morning constitutionals, and a strong work ethic, we have some immunity to diseases that afflict less vibrant folk. Lastly, mining dust was found in trace amounts in Serkonos even during the time of Dunwall’s great crisis, and that dust played a critical role. It’s true that the plague was spread by rats, but some natural philosophers now believe that it was also carried on wind currents. As such, we can be thankful that in addition to bringing us wealth from silver, the mines also protected us from the greatest plague in living memory.
