==Taking over the prison (TE1 only)== Stealth is costly though, and leads to paranoia, resulting in poor decisions. This next method of escaping is scarcely known, and is more straightforward yet much harder to perform. Taking over the prison requires you to KO at least 80% of the prison's guards at any time except lights out and keep them tied up by using a {{item link|Roll of Duct Tape}} or {{item link|Length of Rope}} (one for each guard, so you'll need to use the aforementioned means to hide a stash). If you successfully take down enough of the guards, you will receive a letter from the [[Warden]] saying that you've made your point, and that he's unlocked the front gate. From there, it's a matter of walking. However, you must be holding a knocked-out character, or you will be sniped. This is the only time the player can open a door that requires the white key, which only the [[Warden]] has. This gets progressively harder to do, and in [[HMP Irongate]], you need at least a few {{item link|Cup of Molten Chocolate}}, due to the guards having {{item link|Stun Rod}}s.
