At the beginning of the game, you will see the events of the past, and then you will control the chief of the guard. Make the first choice that does not affect the passage of the game. Move the door blocking the way. Do this as quickly as possible so as not to ruin the relationship with Kurum. Perform a QTE sequence that does not affect anything. Go further and study the collectible plate. This will give you a vision of “The Risen”. Move the door and talk to Kurum. Show respect to him to improve relations. Go along a small corridor and you will see a mysterious creature. Click on the indicated buttons and make a decision. You can stay with Kurum or betray him. This does not affect the plot of the game or the final part.
Briefing

Choose restraint to introduce your assistant, Clarissa. Next, there will be a short segment in which you need to control Rachel. Choose the answer “Assurance” to improve relations with Nick. The opposite answer, “Uncertainty”, will increase the tension between the characters. Return to Eric and follow Jason. Then meet Mervin and follow him towards the conference room, where the briefing should take place.

Choose the answer “I’m fine” and continue to examine the gorges. On the right side, on the ground, you will find a secret. Head to the large door and go up the stairs. Find a collectible plate and open the doors. Nearby, you will hear screams, and then you will see Clarissa and Mervin. She was grabbed by that same monster.

Pazuzu
Next, you will control Eric. Choose the “Concerned” answer and ask about Rachel’s well-being. Use the “Dispassionate” answer and tell her that there is only one road ahead, so there is nothing else to do. The soldiers will go down, and you will notice that Rachel has a lighter. Choose the “Curiosity” answer and continue exploring the tunnels. At the nearest crossroads, go to the right and look for a collectible (sign) at the end of the hall.
Go back to Rachel, go through the small room and go down the stairs. At the ledge, climb over the door and go forward. Look into the pit, examine the figure lying on the ground, and then go down.
Temple
Next, you will control Rachel. During the conversation with Eric, choose the answers “Sympathy” and “Tenderness” in sequence. Examine the large room and find notes scattered in the corners.

Next, you need to control Jackson and Nika, who are trying to escape from the monsters. Shoot the monster and press the buttons, using the prompts that appear on the screen. In order for the characters to survive, you need to choose a detour. Thanks to these actions, the military will escape from the monsters. Go to Eric with Rachel and examine the radio. In the conversation, select the answers “Romance” and “Tenderness”. Listen to Randolph’s audio recording. Go back to Nick and Jason. You should not leave Mervin alone. Otherwise, he will die. Return to Eric with Rachel and press the button. Be sure to cut the cable in front of Mervin, otherwise Eric will die. If Mervin has already died, you should not cut the cable, otherwise you will ruin the relationship. Also, if the Iranian captain hears the voices of Rachel and Eric, you will definitely need to cut the cable, otherwise the soldier will die. Rachel will fall down, after which, together with the military, move to the sanctuary.
Parting
In the room, the keeper will summarize the mission and then offer his help. Decline the help and you will be transported back to the gorges. As Nick and Jason reach Eric, the group will enter the sanctuary and you will control Jason. Talk to the soldier and choose the “Restraint” response.

In the tunnel, pick up the first aid kit and continue moving. Choose the answer “Caution” and engage in a shootout with the military man.
Truce
Once the boulders fall, Nick will have a long way to go. Go through a small hall and find Salim. Choose the “Support” answer and press all the buttons provided correctly to get to the monster and eliminate it. Choose the “Carefree” and “Cautious” options to improve your relationship with Salim. Before Eric arrives, the Iraqi soldier will stand behind the column. Choose the “Carefree” answer and do not tell anyone where your new comrade is. If you decide to reassure Salim, he will not hide. This way, Eric will convince the man to surrender to his comrades. This decision will have almost no effect on the storyline of the game.
Nick and Eric will drag the monster’s corpse to their camp and begin to study it. Jason and his comrade will examine the area. Talk to Nick and select the “Assurance” response. The “Concern” and “Curiosity” responses will help you learn some information about the group’s last mission. Go down the stairs into a round room with a well in the center.

Bloody rivers
Once you find yourself in the basement with blood, you will have to play for Rachel. Explore the area and take 3 secret items that are located near the boulders in the middle, near the wall on the left side and near the wall on the right side. Do not get close to the unknown creature. Get to the fence and climb over the wooden barrier. Follow further and along the way you will come across another collectible.
Go to the end of the gorge and leave it. Do not stop. In the sanctuary, Eric uses an ultraviolet lamp on the corpse of a monster. This way you will learn that ultraviolet light has a negative effect on the skin of monsters. Listen to the dialogue between Rachel and Clarissa, then select the “Gratitude” answer twice and thank the girl. Clarissa and Rachel will climb up the cobblestones. Select the answers “Coquetry”, “Team” and twice “Assurance”. In this case, the dialogue will be positive. At the same time, Rachel will promise Clarissa that she will not leave her. Once you climb up, select the “Assurance” answer again and use the cable to get across the pit to the opposite side. Make a choice and come to Clarissa’s aid.

Choose the “Sympathy” answer twice in a row to avoid arguing with Eric, and use the “Worry” option. Do not let Jason eliminate the girl. If you remain silent, the soldier will kill Clarissa. Yes, Clarissa will become undead in the next episode anyway, but by doing this you will allow her to enjoy life for a few more minutes. Protect the sanctuary and do not forget to press the right buttons in time. Activate the generator and stand behind the machine gun point. If you choose the second option, you need to mark the correct point, otherwise some military groups will die. Explosives in the middle – run to the outskirts, explosives on the outskirts – run to the middle. We continue the walkthrough of the game Dark Pictures: House of Ashes on the StopGame.Ru website.
Horror
The entire squad successfully hid from the monsters. On the way to the sanctuary, we will meet the Arabs. During the conversation, choose the “Resistance” answer to eventually unite with them. Push the doors and use the “Fear” and “Sadness” answers so that the girl is left alone. Otherwise, Clarissa will kill Eric. In the temple, playing as Salim, shoot the monster that is above. For Nick, use any of the answers. Eric will come to Nick’s aid, and Rachel will rescue Eric. Do not forget to press all the keys in a timely manner to eliminate the monsters.
The enemy of my enemy

– Nick. See how this couple’s relationship began.
Ancient
Watch the video in which Nick, Eric and Rachel reunite, press the correct keys. Hide from Balatu. Then help Nick and pull Eric out of the pit. Rachel will begin to choose between Eric and Nick.

Talk to all the group members and during the conversation with Eric, use the “Apology” response. Examine the device, which is in the middle of the room. Move your finger in a circle and watch Rachel’s attack. This way, she will learn about the appearance of aliens on Earth. Do not use a knife, otherwise the character will burn alive because of the phosphorus grenade. Then use the “Despair” response three times so that Jason does not shoot Rachel and takes her to the cocoon. Eric will take an ultraviolet flashlight and drive the parasite out of the girl’s body. Examine 5 points in order and as soon as the monster jumps on Rachel, quickly press the desired buttons to get rid of the enemy. Examine the parasite to learn about the last secret.
Hall
Nick has to plant the explosives. Look through the binoculars and find the cocoons nearby. After planting the explosives, make a decision:
– Let’s head forward. Nick will go to the huge nest, where he will meet Balata. Quietly attach the explosives and hide from the bloodsuckers. Quickly press the right buttons. If the relationship between Rachel and Eric is good, the group will come to Nick’s aid.
– We retreat. Nick will leave this point, and at the end the characters will see Balatu.
Choose the answer “Press” and go to help Salim. Kill a couple of bloodsuckers and head to the lift. We continue the walkthrough of the game Dark Pictures: House of Ashes on the StopGame.Ru website.

How to save all characters in the game
This chapter will list the actions that need to be taken to ensure that all characters in the game survive. First, you need to successfully complete almost all QTE sequences, as well as respond positively to the events that occur in dialogues with your comrades (except for the episode with Rachel). Do the following:
– Choose air support. Although this choice has almost no effect on the plot and the ending of the game. Thanks to this, you will be able to kill the monsters much faster in the last battle.
– You shouldn’t shoot the shepherd. In the Raid chapter, Jason shouldn’t shoot the fleeing shepherd in order to befriend Salim later.
– Come to Mervin’s aid. This must be done in order to repair the radio and send an SOS signal to the military.
– Cut the rope when Rachel is hanging over the abyss. Do this because the girl will survive in any case, and then you can restore friendly relations with her.
– Find the first aid kit. To do this, in the chapter “Killer”, turn into the gloomy hall where it is located. Thanks to this action, in the future you will be able to cure Salim.
– Kill Clarissa or leave her alone. If you kill Clarissa, you will significantly simplify the final part of the game. On the other hand, you can leave the girl behind the door at the entrance to the sanctuary.
– Take the sharp stake. In the chapter “Truce” in the round room with the well, pick up the stake from the dead man. Later, with its help, you will be able to eliminate Joey, who will turn into the undead.
– Use the machine gun point. In the scene with the escape from the temple, use the machine gun point. You can just run away, but in this case, you will have to remember where the explosives are. Otherwise, some of the heroes will die.
– Return for Salim and towards the end the soldier will leave the group. Jason must follow the Arab, otherwise he will die! We complete the walkthrough of the game Dark Pictures: House of Ashes on the StopGame.Ru website.
