The final chapter works differently. Reach the escape stage, then choose one of the three routes out of Haddonfield. You can complete only one per run.
Train Tracks
Escape across the tracks.
Cornfield
Leave Haddonfield through the cornfield.
Sewer Escape
Escape through the sewer route.
Sewer and River refer to the same escape route in this guide. They are not counted as separate escapes.
Once you commit to one escape route, the other two are no longer available for that run.
