House of Ashes: All endings, mid-credits scenes, and Daylight finale guide

After a dangerous trek down the depths, your characters have a chance to survive their whole ordeal. Then again, maybe none of them would. Whatever the case may be, you'll be treated to House of Ashes' ending. Here's our House of Ashes guide to help you with the Daylight finale, the ending variations, and the mid-credits scenes. Note: For more information, check out our guides and features hub for The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Likewise, you can take a look at our full Theatrical Cut walkthrough. Lastly, please be reminded that this guide contains spoilers. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes guide - Daylight finale, all endings, and mid-credits scenes You'll get the Daylight finale in House of Ashes after completing the previous chapter, Semper Fi. We'll discuss what happens next in the following sections: Final chapter encounter and QTEs Scene variants: Everyone's alive, everyone's dead, and Salim is the only survivor House of Ashes - The Daylight finale Let's talk about the Daylight finale in The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. As the group makes their way back to the surface, everyone will take a breather. Helicopters will arrive soon (assuming you called for Air Support or if Merwin repaired the radio). It looks like everything's fine until an eclipse occurs. Suddenly, multiple alien vampires emerge from the cavern and the group runs back inside one of the villager's huts. And, yes, for some reason, Supermassive decided that your characters should have an Avengers-esque team pose. Note: Now would be a good time to make a backup save so you don't need to redo the entire chapter. You can reload just when things are about to get hectic. Here's what you can expect: The finale in House of Ashes is somewhat similar to what we've seen in Little Hope, except you have more control over what happens at this specific stage in the game. A lot of QTE sequences will occur here. These include pressing the correct button, button-mashing, and aim-and-shoot. In some cases, failing one prompt will also lead to a different QTE sequence. You have to make sure that your characters don't fail two prompts. Otherwise, they'll end up dead. Every character will have their own QTE sequence against the vampire that they're fighting. These were the QTE sequences that I saw in order based on my playthrough: Jason - This one happens once the team goes inside the hut (and before the Avengers team pose). A vampire tries to pull him from the ceiling. You need to mash buttons to pull him back down, or he'll get tossed from a great height. Rachel - A vampire will chomp on Rachel's neck if you fail. Eric - The monster will punch through his chest. Nick - He'll get his stomach ripped open before the creature gouges out his eyes. Salim - He'll get brutally stabbed. Jason - If he didn't get pulled by the flying vamp, then he gets his face pulped here if you fail. Rachel - This is the last one, so don't die here. Note 1: If you didn't kill Balathu at the end of The Vault, then he'll attack your group here. Beware since QTE failures will lead to deaths. Balathu will kill a couple of characters and the others will be automatically taken out by the vampires. Oh, and if you do manage to defeat Balathu here, then you still need to fight the vampires. Note 2: I've heard that it's possible for Kurum (the other Akkadian) to also show up here as a zombie. He'll team up with Balathu to take out your characters. Unfortunately, I'm not yet sure how to trigger this instance. After all the QTEs are done, the eclipse will also be over. Let's go to the next part of our House of Ashes guide to talk about the endings and mid-credits scenes. House of Ashes - Ending scene and mid-credits scene variants Let's talk about the endings and mid-credits scenes in The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. Ending: Everyone's alive/there are survivors The vampires will start scrambling for cover as their flesh gets burned. But, the moment they head outside, the helicopters will blast them with machine guns. Everyone who survived will head outside the hut. Salim is walking behind the group, but Jason vouches for him. The helicopter pilot will radio in to say how many friendlies are with you. Ending: Salim imprisoned vs. Salim returns home For the first variant, you'll get this if only Salim is alive and air support was called. The US forces will still think that he's a hostile combatant. They'll cuff him before taking him into custody. Meanwhile, there's also a second variant, which is only possible if you made the right choices with the Air Support bearing. In The Briefing, you can't call for air support. Then, you need to ensure that Merwin dies before The Signal so he can't repair the radio. The entire team can survive your playthrough. Since air support won't arrive immediately, Salim will walk away after the Daylight finale. You'll get the "Into the Sunset" achievement, too. Curator scene Depending on how you fared in House of Ashes, the Curator will either chide or congratulate you. He'll also add tidbits about the surviving characters (which I'll detail below). Lastly, he'll browse his bookshelf and give a hint regarding the next game in the series. Mid-credits scene: Everyone's alive/there are survivors who were "rescued" by the US military The mid-credits scene shows two people (Brooks and Miller) who are wearing hazmat suits. They're inside a secret facility where the survivors are being held. You'll see them being questioned one by one: Jason - The two are wondering why he allied with an Iraqi soldier. Jason tells them that Salim's worth more than their sorry asses. Salim - Salim wants to see his son. The two mysterious individuals ask him how he managed to kill the alien vampires with a metal spear. Nick - Nick is also frustrated since he's being interrogated. Eric - They talk about how Eric's satellite project failed to find chemical weapons. Winterfold and Sample X-1172 - Brooks and Miller talk about how what happened here "is like Winterfold all over again." There's also a sample of something called X-1172. Rachel - Finally, they tell Rachel that she'll be debriefed soon. She's angry because the two can't get their priorities straight. It looks like Brooks and Miller are part of a secret government cover-up, something alluded to in Man of Medan. Although the alien vampires are "unlike anything they've seen before," they're also unfazed by these creatures (even talking about hotpots and gatherings). As for Winterfold, you can learn more about this location in our secrets guide. There are a couple of clues that point to a location somewhere in the UK. Mid-credits scene: Everyone's dead/there are characters who died, cocooned Rachel variant, plagued Jason variant, and Salim's escape variant The key difference here, assuming there are characters who died during your House of Ashes run, is that Brooks and Miller will simply look at their corpses before moving on to the next room. The rest of the mid-credits scene will remain identical to what was mentioned above. Another key difference can be seen based on the Ultraviolet and Infected bearings. If Eric is dead or you don't have the UV light/wand, then there's no way to get the parasite out of Rachel. The group will instead place her in the goop/cocoon to keep her alive. During the mid-credits scene, you'll see that she's been rescued and the parasite has been removed. Likewise, it's possible for Jason to have a different scene. If Jason accidentally inhaled the fossilized vampire's remains in The City (i.e., failed the QTE during the part where he goads Salim to touch the supposedly "dead" creature), he'll be afflicted with a disease. Although he can survive the ordeal, Brooks and Miller will say that he won't have long to live. Thanks to Zell in the comments section for notifying me. Lastly, the mid-credits scene will be different if you didn't call for air support and if Salim survived. Since Salim was able to walk away without getting captured, you won't see anyone in his room. Is there a post-credits scene? As cited in our 13th premonition guide, I didn't see a post-credits scene about The Devil In Me, the next game in the series. However, you can watch the mid-credits scene in our YouTube video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?vNbaDnWEAOmc Update: It seems that the review build that I was playing did not include a post-credits scene at all, and it may have been added via a patch after the game's release. As such, you can watch the teaser trailer for The Devil In Me uploaded by YouTuber BigDaddyJende: https://www.youtube.com/watch?vcj8t_Xpf6TM The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is available via Steam.
