The only characters that can make it through the terrifying ordeal are Eric, Jason, Nick, Rachel, and Salim. However, you can keep each of the three alive for a little bit longer depending on your choices. How to keep Joey alive Unfortunately, Joey\u2019s role in the House of Ashes story is a pretty limited one. During the initial ambush on the assault site, Joey will be killed. No matter if you take in air support, or successfully complete Jason\u2019s quick-time event, Joey will die. However, that isn\u2019t the last you\u2019ll see of him. How to keep Mewrin alive Merwin is the next unfortunate victim of the underground hellhole. During the earthquake, he will get tangled in wire, and despite Clarice, Jason, and Nick trying to help him, he will be too badly injured and will eventually bleed out. Unlike Joey, though, you can keep him alive a little longer: Don\u2019t force him to be quiet: As the vampires close in, Nick will be given the option to keep Mewrin quiet. If you take this, you will suffocate him, so do not choose this option. – Safety first: As the monsters continue to chase you, you\u2019ll come to a fork in the road. Make sure you choose the safe path and complete the heartbeat challenge. – Don\u2019t let him go: As Jason and Nick hear Rachel on the radio, Merwin will tell the duo that he\u2019s holding them back. Insist that he comes with you. – From here, he will fix the radio in the camp but dies quickly afterward. Just by getting him to the temple, though, you\u2019ll earn the \u201cSo You\u2019re My Technician\u201d achievement. How to keep Clarice alive Last but not least is sassy scientist Clarice, who is snatched by the vampires as she tries to rescue Merwin. Implanted with the parasite, she will save Rachel down in the pit, but unlike her \u201cqueen bitch\u201d counterpart she won\u2019t survive. For the best possible ending, you should choose to abandon Clarice at the rope swing, as if you choose to help her she\u2019ll pay a pretty lethal visit to your team later on in the story. Either way, she falls into the abyss and is presumed dead. So that\u2019s the tragic tales of Joey, Merwin, and Clarice in House of Ashes.
