In Dishonored 2, exploring the sun-drenched coastal city of Karnaca requires a balance of stealth, strategy, and resource management. Mission 8, titled The Grand Palace, takes players deep into the luxurious and heavily guarded estate of Duke Luca Abele. Finding the hidden safes within this region is crucial for players who want to upgrade their gear and maximize their available coin before the final showdown.
The Shopkeeper Apartment Safe Location
Before entering the palace proper, players will navigate through the surrounding city streets and can locate a locked apartment belonging to a local merchant. This apartment contains a valuable safe filled with silver ingots and resource items to boost your inventory. Getting inside requires sneaking past several elite guards patrolling the residential structures nearby.
To unlock this specific safe, players must find the combination hidden within the shopkeeper's actual place of business. Investigating the nearby Black Market shop will yield the necessary clues regarding his residential passwords. Taking a stealthy approach allows you to secure these codes without raising alarms across the entire district.
Finding the First Captain Suite Safe
Once inside the grand palace structure, players will find a second major safe hidden within the private office of the First Captain of the Guard. This secure suite is located on the lower floors of the main residential building, heavily guarded by regular patrols. Opening this chest provides access to an valuable Rune alongside additional coin payouts.
The combination for this military safe is hidden nearby within the same office suite, requiring players to search carefully around the main desk area. A hidden note detailing the security protocols contains the randomized three-digit code needed for entry. Gathering these documents lets players systematically disarm the security network without relying on violent confrontations.
Maximizing Rewards and Upgrades
Cracking both security lockboxes in Mission 8 ensures that your character is fully prepared for the final stages of the campaign. The wealth acquired from these locations can be spent on critical pistol, crossbow, and armor improvements at remaining black market stalls. Thorough exploration remains the most reliable method for mastering the difficult stealth mechanics built into this immersive world.
