The Holy Bible and the White Tree
Tips
The Holy Bible is hidden in several spots around the map and glows faintly with a small orange light, making it easier to spot. It opens Facility doors, and feeding it to the White Tree gives you the Holy Cross. The Bible can only be found in private servers.
- Check the Cafeteria inside the prison, near the fruit bowl.
- Look on the third floor of the red-and-white brick building outside, close to the Gas Station.
- Search the tree above the White Tree area on the prison exterior.
- Climb to the top of the south mountain, near the White Tree.
- Feed the Bible to the White Tree to receive the Holy Cross.
- Avoid touching the Bible at the same moment as another player — both of you will get launched away.

Common questions
FAQHow do I get a keycard as a prisoner?
Kill a police officer — there is a small chance they drop their keycard when they die. Christmas Gifts can also contain one, but the odds are low.
Why is the Revolver so hard to get?
It sits inside a hidden room near the prison entrance that has no normal door. You have to use an item like a Lantern or an Apple to clip through the wall, which works more reliably when your frame rate is between 25 and 30 FPS. A Christmas Gift is the other route.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes, the game supports mobile play. You drop items by dragging them out of your inventory, and you can rearrange the on-screen buttons by going into the touch layout settings.
Is the Minigun worth picking up?
It holds 2000 rounds and fires very fast, but its accuracy is poor. It can be used to destroy vehicles.
