I mean, if you know what is at the end, you have already escaped through it, haven't you?
Nope i didnt get out. There is something else you must do before you escape. All i will say is, "Hope you have the best equipment and perks possible, I mean seriously! ". I was on my last day when I crossed the pipe. Just wasnt expecting what i saw in the end. I had to back out, since i wasnt prepared properly. So no, as i said before, I didnt manage to escape.
Yeah, it was unexpected for me as well. I did not have a build geared toward fighting, so yeah, it was tough. What helped: have a mask for the tunnel, to halve the health loss. Also as a weapon, try the wrench, it worked better on that crab even compared to some advanced weapon, like the destroyer

The Sewage treatment escape route. I sure wasnt expecting what i found in the end. Not gonna spoil It for those who didnt complete It, including myself, because of the time limit. Any clues on How to escape through It? Also i would like to know the rooftop route too, If possible.

For the pipe make sure you wear a mask to survive going through it. For the crab the Dracula's Fury handheld game perk combined with Vincent's double bleed stacks perk helped me outlast it on my first try. If you learned Tiger Combo from John, especially the upgraded version for 10% extra crit, you can wear a red bandana to max crit chance and potentially chain crits (especially if you learn Crushing Blow in the strength tree for a guaranteed crit on your third hit). Also try to use as many strength and agility consumables before entering the pipe along with drinking premium liquor.

The other escape routes are with the tower by going to the infirmary at night via laxative and using the code from Beth or the programming book to crack it, then disassemble the grate on the window and pick an anti-theft lock to access the tower. You need a rope or belt. You also will likely get the attention of snipers as you climb.

The rooftop requires going to the water tower and looking into the distance. Then read all three Game of Kings books and after finishing the third Thomas will get the idea of crafting a wing suit. You'll need to use the rooftop workbench to make dowels plus a long of other materials. It'll take Lumber x 8, Bed Sheet x 3, Screw x 2, Small Iron Plate x 2, Shoelaces x 8 to craft all three pieces. Have all three in your inventory when you go back to the water tower and fly to freedom.

The last escape route I know of requires completing the lipstick, baseball, and kitchen cellar drawings for Alex, then follow him to the cellar during the riot. Win the fight against him and you can use the prison guard's uniform to slip out.

For this one: In addition, As for Alex for the kitchen escape, you'll need to ask Caesar instead about the fingerprints during the quest with the priest, and he'll give you a secret quest to complete. After the riot it will be achieved.

I think I got the Fool by trying to fight Crunchy on the first day and getting my ass kicked.
The Fool - I'm pretty sure anyone gets this immediately after the intro if you refuse the money and actually go to jail no?

The Magician - The Easteregg Jailbreak Route: You have to listen to the gossip around the Strange Things Movie Poster during the Evening on Monday (I believe Day 15). Henry will tell a scary ghost story which can later be reproduced in your cell on a Thursday Midnight (I assume only Thursdays after that gossip has been heard) with an Apple and a Knife (i used a pairing Knife). The peeling has to *end* at Midnight for this to work and I´m pretty sure you need Chris the Lynx' Talent in order to be able to interact with the Mirror in your cell.

Oh really? I must've not noticed it until after my initial beating then.
Anyone know about pentacles achievement?

You have to beat the game on normal difficulty or higher I think
There's a trick to The Fool - you can NOT skip a prologue. If you skip then you won't get achievement. Achievement is awarded when Thomas exits cafe. If you skip cutscene you'll also skip that moment. That's how I've missed getting this achievement (as I saw a cutscene on YT and some part of the game)

I can confirm I had the Pentacles achievement at the same time as the "Justice" achievement once I finished my normal difficulty playthrought.

The roof seems to be the easiest of the two by a LARGE margin. I was able to escape with a week remaining after getting all the things you need.

As for the tunnel escape, I just kicked its ass >.>

For the rooftop escape, You need to have read the Game of Kings series of books in the general building, as well as having got a rooftop work permit, and unscrewed the toilet from the wall, and constructed the dummy. During the workday, you have to inspect the fan contraption all the way on the right side and open it up. You might not be able to do this without trying to open the fan during the night first. You have to flip the 3rd switch to disable the fan. Then, also during the day, you will have to head to the top where the asphalt lift is and you have to piece together a way to get to the other side of that building.
There are at LEAST two ways I have discovered one requiring a massive STR check and the other requiring AGL 8 and still needs a roll. After that, during the night, come back make the roll you chose, unlock the shortcut back on the lower left side so you don't need to roll anymore, and continue the climb up. After that, you just need to craft the kitesuit and glide out. The suit will require 8 wooden dowels which are crafted from lumber ONLY at the rooftop craft room accessible during the night or by sneaking in during the work time. It will also require 1 or 2 metal plates and 3 sheets.
Might have been some other bits too like cloth and shoelaces. Once that is all crafted, just take all three pieces to the top and voila.

You seem to get the Fool for literally starting the game. I don't know how you missed it. Maybe if you tried accepting Angelo's bribe?

Pentacles I got upon my first completion of the game. I failed to get out in time after uncovering the priest's dealings and received the Death ending with it.

Not quite. I retrieved it and gave it up as asked, and that even still happened. I had joined that gang, that attempt.
