Updated December 10, 2021 by Gabrielle Huston: This guide has been updated with the various possible decisions you can make in this scene and their consequences in-game. Since House of Ashes is a complex game with hundreds of endings, we acknowledge that we will miss details in these walkthroughs. However, we strive to provide you with as much information as possible.
In The Temple
The prologue begins with a mood-setting shot of executed men's heads, lined up on an altar, as well as the location and date: Akkad, 2231 BCE. Ba𓂃lathu, an Akkadian general, will be summoned by the king - interrupting his attempted execution of a man named Kurum.
After speaking with the guard who summoned him, Balathu enters the throne room, where the king is yelling at a young woman. When the king orders Balathu to kill her, the first decision arises: whether to follow orders or not?

After the woman has been dealt with, Balathu will join the army outside the temple as the Gutian army begins it♕s assault. Inside, King Naram-Sin💖 watches an eclipse occur. As the battle rages on, we slowly start to see the soldiers being overtaken by mysterious, unseen creatures. Balathu takes refuge inside the temple. He and Kurum (who has escaped his cell) must flee to safety.
There are several button prompts as Balathu flees the temple with Kurum.
Failing the button prompt to push open the 🍎door will cau🍰se Kurum to taunt Balathu, and earns negative relationship points between them.
There are no consequences for failing the other button prompts.
In The Tomb
Balath🍸u leads Kurum into the catacombs beneath the temple, where the temple's builders would be buried after they died. The first room is circular, with an inaccessible centre.
In this circular room, there are t𒀰wo objects to interact 🌳with.
The first is a tablet on the floor; it's theꦗ first "Picture" to discover in the game and it prompts a premonition of an undead person pulling themselves out of a hole.
The second is a large, decorative stone with inscriptions and images carved into the face of it. The game prompts you to look around for secrets when you interact with it, but there is not any collectible or secret here; just the few carved pictures, depicting the events that the characters alluded to in previous conversations. Balathu m🅘ay make a commꦕent.
Facing The Creature
When Balathu and Kurum progress through the next door, they'll have a conversation. If Balathu has enough negative po💧ints in his relationship with him, Kurum will be hostile when Balathu asks about his necklace. If Balathu has a positive relationship point with him, Kurum will be a little more forthcoming about it.
Balathu must make another decision, now, about whether he wa𒐪nts to work together with Kurum or not. If Balathu suggests the two of them mi𝐆ght work together, he'll earn a positive point towards your relationship, regardless of Kurum's reaction.
If you had a positive relationship with Kurum at this point, you'll sheath your sword and he will🍷 too. If you had a negative relationship, he'll be agg🍸ressive and you'll pull out your sword again.
Finally, Balathu and Kurum will be faced with the creature, standing side-by-side. Balathu can decide whether he wants to fight (with Kurum) or betray (Kurum).
If Balathu chooses to fight, one of two things can happ𒉰en🅷:
- he's earned a positive relationship with Kurum and the two of them fight together
- he's earned a negative relationship with Kurum, so Kurum betrays him
Or, if Balathu betrays him, he'll run away and sacrifice Kurum for a 🐻few more moments of life.
Possible Endings
The prologue always concludes with both men dying.
The only difference is who dies first and who dies last. To discover the consequences, check out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:our walkthrough of ꧋the 𒊎scene The Horror.
