How to unlock the Heart to Heart achievement in The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes - Definitive Guide

During the chapter bloodbath, there will be a body jason and nick will come across if both are alive. This will be the corpse of lady bradshaw. look above the corpse and there will be a stake jammed into the corpses heart. As jason, decide to stick to your rifle with you take the stake. This will give it to nick


Nearing the end in the chapter The Cocoon vault, if nick is still alive, he will go down the hole and place the dynamites. if he’s injured, pass the keep calm. there will be two keep calms if hes injured. Then after passing the keep calm, advance through the vault to plant more charges. you will need to pass three extra keeps calms. i recommend changing the difficulty to forgiving and to turn on single action qte in setting to make the keep calms easier. After you pass the keep calms, jason will activate the dynamites. nick will still be alive and the ancient warrior (bathulu or kurum it doesn’t matter which one it is) will corner nick. After passing a few qtes, nick will pull out the stake jason give him and attack the ancient warrior. pass the qtes and nick will kill them by stabbing them through the heart with the stake. you’ll unlock the achievement right after.

Does Nick's relationship with Eric have to be strong? I swear I got the stake, but the warrior broke Nick's neck.

Random tip, because this achievement was annoying.
If your relationship with Eric is too low Eric will ignore Nick's call for help (Ghost Signal achievement), and Nick won't fight back or use the stake.

In my run, I have all 5 alive, Rachel dumped both, Nick healed his injury, and Eric gave him the UV light.
Kill Balanthu with the Stake picked up earlier and stab him dead

Tried again without the stake, but Salim came and stabbed Balathu, Nick didn't even try to get the spear. Obviously there's more to this achievement than written here and I'm just incredibly unlucky in not getting it

I got this on my playthrough where Rachel dumps both Eric and nick. If you keep a good relationship between Eric and nick the team will come rescue him after he advances on the cocoons. I also didn't have the stake, Jason ended up with it. Instead nick killed belathu with his own spear and it unlocked for me

The following steps must occur for this trophy to unlock:
  • During the Temple chapter, Nick and Jason will go exploring through the door being guarded by the machine gun, and eventually you'll find the circular room where you can find Secret 5. Find the corpse with the stake driven into it, and when you interact with it, you'll have the option of taking or leaving the stake. Choose not to take it, and Nick will decide to take it instead.
  • When Nick begins setting the dynamite charges at the end of the game. he'll have the option of retreating, or heading towards the largest set of cocoons. Choose the second option, which will ensure a confrontation between Nick and either Balathu or Kurum.
  • Once the charges are detonated, complete the QTEs as Nick for the trophy.

It is not necessary to kill with a stake taken from a corpse. When Nick plants explosives and goes deeper, when he returns, Balata will attack him, and if you complete all the qte, you can kill Balata with his own spear. The trophy will appear.

In the story, Balata (or Kurum) can be killed in three ways.
1) Take him down while planting the dynamite. When Nick plants the dynamite, he will be attacked by a warrior. Eric (if alive) must be on good terms with him, or others will come to his aid. There you finish him off.
2) In the hut. Nick retreats in time to plant the dynamite and everyone (or not everyone) is saved, the warrior will come to the hut, and there we perform all the QTEs.
3) If Rachel and Eric are dead, the warrior himself will die during the explosion. I don't know why, but I mean that the QTE in the last hut is connected with them and the war.

FASTEST WAY:
after passing the game for the mind, just load the save in front of the hall with cocoons, Salim with binoculars quickly look at 5 points - cocoons, Nick will go to the right. Well, then you just complete all the QTEs and that’s it, business for 5 minutes.
Thanks HorrorRoman! Saved many hours of gaming.
