What is Ceniza?
After you escape the first prison, Chapter 2 moves you to Ceniza, a high-security prison in the desert. The rules are the same: a daily schedule, a suspicion meter, a lockdown timer and the 13-day limit. The route out is different: you go through the vents.
The vent route, step by step
- Buy a Screwdriver ($25) from Cobre’s Deals in cell 09.
- Buy a Hammer ($90) from Cobre.
- Unscrew the vent cover above the sink in your cell with the Screwdriver.
- Climb into the duct and smash the metal barriers with the Hammer.
- Flip the red switch to turn off the big ventilation fan, then unscrew the vent panel behind it.
- Break the upper grate with the Hammer and climb the ladder onto the roof.
- Jump the perimeter fence and get into the military jeep on the desert road to finish the chapter.
You need $115 for the Screwdriver and Hammer.
