Kaldwin's Bridge

Dishonored guide · The mission to rescue Sokolov

Corvo must make his way across Kaldwin's Bridge, an imposing fortified drawbridge, to reach the home of the Royal Physician, Anton Sokolov. The mission requires bypassing city watch checkpoints, Wall of Light barriers, and raised bridge spans before infiltrating Sokolov's laboratory. Once Sokolov is located at the top of his greenhouse residence, Corvo must abduct him alive and carry him down to Samuel's waiting skiff.

Tips

Rewire tools can be used on the raised bridge controls to drop the drawbridge safely, but blinking across the massive suspension cables high above is faster and completely avoids ground patrols.
Whale oil tanks powering the Wall of Light security barriers can be unplugged or shot from a distance to disable the deadly electric arcs.
When carrying Sokolov's unconscious body to Samuel's boat, stick to rooftop pipes and balconies to avoid the heavily patrolled street level.
