** It's not necessarily unfamiliar; as the Outsider, he seemed to be nearly omniscient, and he probably still remembers a great deal of what he once saw even when depowered. Additionally, he knows more about the void than anyone else who has ever lived, so if there's any way to channel or access it in the absence of an Outsider, he presumably can do so.
** ''Former'' Outsider, who is no longer omniscient, and sometimes quantity of knowledge can be its own problem (who's to say any of it is relevant to his situation, for example). Furthermore, he explicitly has no powers or money or social cache, and he's in the body of a fourteen-year-old boy. Also, why would he try to touch the Void in any way after having so recently escaped from it, a process that took him four thousand years? It's explicitly "hungry", grasping, dangerous and unpredictable. I don't think it's a coincidence that the follow-up book doesn't go into his fate at all.
** Why wouldn't a good portion of that knowledge be relevant? He's been watching the entirety of the empire (and probably beyond) for centuries. He knows more about every aspect of it than literally any other person alive (or dead). He's also clearly not in a' 14-year old' body (there's no explicit mention of whether he aged physically or not at all while stuck in the Void after being sacrificed when he was 15; it's entirely possible that he still aged but at an extremely slow rate - Delilah only aged 3 years while lost in the Void between The Brigmore Witches and Dishonored 2), nor is it malnourished since the cult treated him well before the actual sacrifice. Someone as intelligent and possessing as much knowledge as he does can easily find ways to make money and live a normal life.
** What I mean is, he's a teenager, and a poor one. In a place like the Empire of the Isles and given its strong cultural resemblance to England as it was being industrialised, poor children are readily exploited and murdered (no child labour laws, are there? Harvey Smith openly referenced mudlarks as inspiration for the setting). And four thousand years is very, very, very long time to have perfect knowledge of. The internet has proven that access to a lot of questionably relevant knowledge (only a tiny, tiny sliver of it applies to the present day) and no practical experience ''at all'' is not a sure-fire recipe for success no matter how intelligent you happen to be.
