Lady Boyle's Estate

Dishonored guide · The mission to eliminate Lady Boyle

Corvo infiltrates the Boyle estate during a lavish masquerade ball to identify and neutralize Lady Boyle, who is secretly funding the Lord Regent. Players can explore the ground-floor party freely if disguised with a mask, but the upper floors, basement, and exterior guard areas are strictly off-limits. The target can be eliminated directly or taken care of through a non-lethal arrangement involving Lord Pendleton's contact, Lord Brisby.
