Cafeteria

Covers the prison cafeteria scene in A Way Out. Learn how to handle the conversation, survive the shank attack as Leo, and fight back with Vincent to escape to the hospital.

Alright, you're back in control and this time it's in the prison cafeteria. It's a bit of a tense situation, so let's get through it smoothly.

As Vincent: Your job here is pretty straightforward. Just head over to the table with the food tray on it and take a seat. You can mess around with the food and drink a bit while Leo's dealing with his own stuff. Just chill and watch the conversation unfold.

As Leo: You've got a bit more to do. Two convicts are blocking the way to the cafeteria counter. You can either try to force your way past them or be polite. Honestly, it doesn't change the actual gameplay, but it does change what they say right after. Once you get past them, head to the counter to grab your food.

Now, here's where things get spicy. As Leo goes to pick up his tray, the same guy from the yard brawl is gonna sneak up behind him with a shank. You need to react fast. Keep mashing the prompted button on screen to fend him off and stop him from stabbing you. At the same time, as Vincent, you need to get up from your table and rush over. Hit the prompted button to pull the convict off Leo.

After a quick cutscene, the situation blows up. The other convicts grab butcher knives from the kitchen, and you both get forced to back away. You'll need to hold down on the D-pad to retreat. While you're backing up, you can throw those big pots in the kitchen at the enemy convicts to slow them down. It's crucial to press the prompted button to grab and throw these items as you're moving back. Keep throwing things into the walkway to create distance. Eventually, you'll get cornered, another cutscene will play, and you'll both end up in the hospital. Don't worry, it's part of the plan... sort of.
