How did Tirek escape Tartarus?

In Twilight's Kingdom, it's stated that Tirek escaped Tartarus when Cerberus left his post in It's About Time. But how? In Twilight's Kingdom, when Celestia Luna and Cadance are sent to Tartarus by Tirek, it's implied that prisoners in Tartarus are chained up, as seen with the princesses.

So basically, your question is: how did Tirek break free from the chains?

He snuck out while Cerberus was away in "It's About Time". It kinda sounds like the Bug-Bear from "Slice of Life" got out at the same time as well.

How do you think WE feel?!

Maybe the princesses were chained just as a precaution because Tirek knew that they could have possibly escaped without them. Just because Tirek was smart enough to chain the princesses doesn't mean that everyone else was smart enough to chain Tirek.

 

Or, as mentioned above, it was Trollestia <3

Well, Lord Tirek was depicted as being chained in the exposition scene when Princess Celestia read of the tale of Tirek and Scorpan. So, I guess he just escaped them because why not. The writers just forgot or didn't care.

He had spent a fair while recovering his strength between escaping and starting his takeover (I think) - he might have other magic that we didn't see, and expended that escaping any precautions in Tartarus before Cerberus was returned, maybe  :dash:

He didn’t escape. He was just doing a security inspection for the dark lord down under. Oh, about the dog? I wouldn’t worry about the dog. Cerberi are a curious spawn and like to wander off from time to time. If Tirek had truly escaped Tartarus, then he would have been dealt with accordingly by Tartarus.

I wouldn't say it'd really important and just one of those things you use your imagination for. We are only going by what we saw when Tirek was imprisoned in a cage and Cereberus guarding it. I find it highly unlikely that's all of Tartarus and that's just one cell room and there are different Cerberus for each room. Maybe when Tirek's Cerberus left during It's About Time (Twilight was right to worry eventually) Tirek absorbed the magic of the prison warden giving him food and used telekinesis to pry the key off the guard and escape. With no Cerberus he was able to leave.

 

Or maybe there was a prison riot and a bunch of convicts escaped and Tirek slipped out.
