How to enter the Black House without Lohse?

[El Macho]

So.. It's my 2nd play through and I was wondering how do I enter the Doctor's House without Lohse? Also, do I need to face him on his full strength?

If you killed the Sallow Man on the Nameless Island, you can always force an entry using a persuasion check chosing the wit option.

Otherwise you have to wait for a note inviting you.

Where do I engage this conversation? When I talk to the door, it always gives me the "The Doctor is not taking any visitors" response.

1) You can kill Isbeil first, then you get an invite when you go back to Arx
2) You can go down to the beach next his house where you will find a strange barrel. Put some voidfish inside and a teleporter pyramid. Use a Voidwoken Fish Exchange scroll on the barrel (I hope you kept one?)

Might be even more creative ways.

Linder Kemm works exactly the same way as Isbeil. Since he serves the god king, Adramahlihk is pumped up that you killed him.

(just realise this is an old post)

I'm rather interested on how someone manage to not killed Sallow man and Isbeil? Not even one of them?
They give you extra choice in dialog with the door to enter the house.

It's my 1st play through, don't have Lohse.
Doctor in evil form is really tough to beat, and too many enemies in confined house. Took me hours to fight my way out to the bridge to kill off his servants then finish him off.

Some people said if you have high initiative, you could start knock him down and kill him before he transform.
Something like 40+ initative? That's really high.

OK, so here is how you do this. Get a few points on someone into Huntsman, get them Marksmans Fang. It can actually pierce the door and hit things on the other side. You can hit one of the chairs on the left side, and the nurse in the front room will go look, when she stands still do the same to her and it will put you into combat with them. After that they should open the door to come attack you.

Bit late to this answer, but in definitive edition if you dont have either the fish barrel method or the lohse method. you can use a teleporter pyramid to clip into the door. just place the pyramid next to the door and teleport to it, if you get it just right you can simply walk through the door after you teleport.

You can also just attack the door. The nurse sitting at the desk will come investigate and she can open the door for you. She doesn't always do it though, so it might take quite a few attempts.

This is old but thought I'd add it: once you're in the house, I had sabille sneak to a corner by the doctor's room and then teleport to the locked door and pick it. Then I teleported a second time to the other locked door and picked it. Never breaking stealth. Then I went into the basement and dropped a teleport stone and teleported my group down. Then you don't have to engage in conversation and can explore the basement without getting kicked out if you don't want to take his contract.

Playing on Xbox btw in multiplayer btw, we were able to get the nurse near the front door to open it by attacking the door, she would open the door to scold one of us for damaging property and were able to walk in and drop a pyramid to teleport in and out as needed.
