To successfully escape from the infirmary in A Way Out without alerting the nurse or guards, it’s important to execute the following steps in a timely and coordinated manner. This guide outlines the necessary actions in a structured way to ensure a smooth getaway:

Step-by-Step Escape Plan

1. Initial Distraction:
– As Vincent: Immediately call the nurse by pressing the button on the nightstand next to your bed. This action serves to divert her attention, getting her out of the immediate area.

2. Positioning:
– As Leo: Approach the door of your room and hide behind it. This will help you avoid detection by the nurse as she comes to respond to Vincent’s call.

3. Safe Retreat:
– Once the nurse is preoccupied, Leo should quietly exit the room, turn left, and find a safe spot near a window with bars to avoid detection by guards. This hiding place is critical for the next phase of the escape.

4. Guard Interaction:
– While Leo is positioned safely, Vincent will encounter a guard who will frisk him. After this interaction, Vincent should turn right to meet up with Leo and take the wrench from him discreetly.

5. Strategic Movement:
– When it’s Leo’s turn to be frisked by the guard, he should attempt to strategically return to their shared room. During this time, both players need to be cautious around guards blocking various pathways.

6. Guard Distraction:
– If Leo finds himself near guards at the doorway, he can utilize dialogue options to distract or mitigate their presence, allowing smoother passage.

7. Concealment:
– Once back in their room, Leo must hide the wrench in the toilet. This is essential to avoid raising suspicion during any surprise searches by the guards.

8. Search and Cutscene:
– Following the search, a cutscene triggers, leading to the next phase. After the cutscene ends, Leo will have the opportunity to remove bolts from the grate, which is crucial for the escape.

9. Final Escape Maneuvers:
– After removing the grate, Leo needs to maneuver through various obstacles:
– Jump over pipes.
– Use the trolley jack to reach higher points and pull the grate off the wall.
– Crawl through openings and squeeze through any gaps while remaining vigilant about guard positions.

10. Proceed Carefully:
– As you move through the rooms and hallways, keep in mind that some guards may not be very perceptive. Proceed cautiously but with confidence, ensuring you maintain a low profile.

Key Points to Remember

– Utilize Hiding Spots: Always be mindful of your surroundings. Use doors and windows with bars effectively to avoid being seen.
– Use Distractions Wisely: Calling the nurse at the right moment is imperative for a successful distraction.
– Interact with Guards: If approached by guards, use dialogue options to neutralize potential threats without generating suspicion.
– Hide Contraband Thoroughly: Ensure that any items like the wrench are securely hidden before guards conduct searches.

By following these steps and remaining stealthy throughout the escape sequence, you and your partner can successfully navigate the infirmary and make your getaway without raising any alarms. Good luck!
