When Ashley’s been attacked, she’ll go into an Incapacitated State, and will fall on the floor and stop following you. If Ashley receives another attack while in this Incapacitated State, she’ll die and this will result in a game over. To revive Ashley, all you need to do is press the R3 button when you’re close to her.
