Chain saw.
Did you try the red jumper in the bottom of the fuse box? Pull it out so that you can hook a battery + to it and minus to the door striker.
If that does not work you may have to go the emergency trunk release that is in front of the right front wheel behind the inner fender. It is a thin silver cable. Sometimes you can get lucky and find it by pulling the marker light out, it just snaps in at the rear, and looking in through the hole.

There is also an engine cover release between the left tail light and the bumper. You can get a little clearance by gently wedging a soft plastic spatula in between the bottom of the light and the bumper to allow you to fish it out with a thin wire hook.
When you have the engine cover open you can try a jumper battery using the + connection and the large bolt that holds the air cleaner.

I think with the battery disconnected you may have to go to the manual cable release.
