Dark Pictures: House of Ashes Walkthrough - How to Save All Characters (Best Ending)

Whether you fix the radio or call for air support will not affect the ending of Dark Pictures: House of Ashes in any way. This way you don't have to rescue the engineer in the cave, nor do you need to call for air assistance at the base. The main condition for the survival of all characters is the precise execution of QTE actions. This also applies to the opposition of evil spirits that you will encounter on the surface.

How to save all characters in Dark Pictures: House of Ashes

How the game ends depends on the number of characters that survive. In addition to the clean ending of QTE sequences, you need to make several important decisions that affect the ending. And here they are:

• How to save Eric? When you meet the Iraqi commander, in no case touch the stone, otherwise the enemy will detect you. In this case, you will have to cut the rope that Rachel is holding on to. When facing an enemy in the sacrificial hall, make sure Rachel helps her husband. Pick up an ultraviolet lamp and drive away all the vampires. Sometimes Clarissa attacks Eric, so it's best that she stay outside the doors of the sacrificial hall.
• How to save Jason? This character cannot die until the end of the game. When you meet Balata or Kurum, press the pop-up button/key in time to push him to the side.
• How to save Rachel? When fighting enemies in the sacrificial hall, dodge Balatu's or Kurum's spear. Once Rachel is infected with the parasite, make sure Jason doesn't kill her.
• How to save Nick? Complete all QTE sequences. Near the nest, you do not need to go deeper into the caves to plant explosives. Otherwise, you will have to come back for him and save him from Balata or Kurum.
• How to save Salim? Complete all QTE sequences, and when you meet the rest of the characters, trust the Iraqi soldier.
