Chapter Select: Escape - Prison Escape
Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes
This trophy is a reference to Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. During the prison escape, you'll both break through a double door using the thunder's sound to cover up the noise it'll make. After you've both busted through the doors, you'll find yourself outside on the rooftops. This is the same rooftops from Escape - Work Detail, where Leo had to go and get the chisel he dropped through a window earlier.
Now that you're on the rooftops, take out any of the guards that get in your way. Make your way to the same area that you got the chisel and work together to climb the platform. When at the top, break the window open to enter the Warden's Office. Inside the Warden's Office, exit to the balcony and you'll find a birdcage with a bird inside it. Free this bird from the cage and the trophy will unlock.
If you've gone through the double door on the balcony, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
During the escape, you'll reach the rooftop at night in the rain and you'll break into the Warden's Office. Once inside, as either character, walk straight ahead onto the balcony to notice a caged bird, and let it free. The trophy unlocks for both players.
This trophy can be seen in the video guide at 1:22:
Once you reach the Warden's Office, head out on to the balcony where you will find the bird in a cage. Simply interact with the cage freeing the bird from captivity.
Here's a visual aid:
This unlocks during the chapter ‘Escape: Prison Escape’.
While you are making your escape across the rooftops of the prison, you will arrive in the same place where you retrieved the chisel earlier in the game. At the other end of that small landing (opposite the ladder) is a window you need to break. Crawl through it to enter the Warden’s office.
Walk across the first room and through the door on the right, leading to a balcony. To your immediate right is a birdcage. Press to set the bird free, unlocking the achievement.
This achievement starts at [01:05:40] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
During the escape, passing the boss's office, a bird in a cage will be sitting on the balcony, just open the cage.
