Rachel will also survive the fall, as seen later. Not cutting the rope will result in Eric sliding down with Rachel and getting impaled on a rock, while cutting the rope will save Eric. Eric has the choice to either hold on or cut the rope. After the pair are chased by Dar, Rachel will fall down and hang by a rope that Eric is struggling to hold. In general, giving Eric hope is the right approach as Rachel, and being kind to Rachel is the correct approach as Eric. Rachel and Eric's tumultuous relationship is one of the highlights of the game. Here's what to do to keep everyone alive in House of Ashes, and get that perfect ending. Throughout the story, the Bearings tab will be updated as players make decisions, but not every important decision is marked in the bearings. There are still many paths that remain unexplored in House of Ashes, but there is a simple way of keeping everyone alive until the end for the best ending. One of such paths is the golden one, where each survivor is alive at the end. As such, players will have a chance to replay the story multiple times and experience the consequences of different decisions to unlock alternative paths. House of Ashes is a game of choices and consequences. Use The Machine Gun (Or Have Good Memory).
