The prisoner on right side of the room will tell you to get started.
Talk to the prisoner on the left side of the room about how to escape the prison.The switchplate on the floor will close the door behind you. Go through the hole, walk down the corridor, and take the first door to the left into the room.You push the stone block at the back of the cell through the wall using the Control key and the 8 button on the number pad simultaneously. The game begins with your character in prison unarmed.When crawling keep crawling until you are through and beyond the trap by at least the prince's body length before releasing the C key and standing up. Many times you will still be decapitated because you did not move far enough away from the trap once through it. To avoid these you must crouch by holding the C key down and move forward with the number pad 8 and C key depressed. Decapitation traps have two long grooves in the wall that two blades snap out of and decapitate the prince.Sometimes running past and jumping a trap is the best strategy. Guards do not pursue you up walls, or beyond staircases or traps.
