Prison Break is a mystery and achievement in which the player must discover how to unlock the doors leading into the prison block under the fortress at the Kharid-et Dig Site.

While it can be completed in free-to-play, only members can enter the prison block. Free players who have completed Prison Break will get the prison block as an additional option when they enter the fort entrance even if they can't go there, so it is recommended not to solve the mystery to avoid the extra click if they wish to excavate more in the fortress.

Steps[edit | edit source]

  • Gather all four of the custodian's log pages from excavation sites found around Kharid-et. You can gather the pages in question from the following excavation hotspots: legionary remains, castra debris, and administratum debris.
  • Turn them in to Liam who can be found near the door. He will give you a Kharid-et prison dial, which you will use to fix the broken dial.
  • The broken dial is on the right of the door; it is the third circle down and looks like it has something missing.
  • Use the correct prison key order on the buttons to the left of the door: Shadow, Blood, Smoke, Ice. This is determined by the ascending order of sentence length and the first two letters of the Inmate IDs.
  • If you did not gather all four custodian's log pages before opening the door, gather any remaining pages from excavation sites found around Kharid-et. All four pages are required to complete this mystery. (In addition to the spots above, remaining pages can also be found at the two new spots inside the prison: praesidio remains and carcerem debris.)
  • The prison door leads to a level 47 area.
