Until Dawn

There are many points within the game where a decision will lead towards a characters death. There are also moments where you will think that a character will die but ultimately doesn't. The moments in the game where you will think someone will die but won't are:

• At the saw trap with Chris where you must choose between killing Ashley or Josh.
• Jessica when she gets dragged through the window.
• Jessica falling down an elevator shaft (as long as she was alive at the time of fall).
• Emily doesn't die at the radio tower.
• When Chris has to choose who to shoot.

Episode 4

• Jessica
  • She will be dragged away and Mike must reach her at the elevator before it's to late. Simply take the quickest path and execute the QTE's on the way.

Episode 6

• Matt
  • At the beginning when surrounded by Caribou, you can escape death by choosing not to attack the animal or successfully completing QTE's once you're hanging from the ledge.
  • Additionally, Matt can die at the Radio Tower if he tries to save Emily twice and doesn't have the flare gun. The safest option is to just immediately jump when you have the opportunity.
• Chris
  • Don't shoot Ashley at the end of the episode! Instead, either shoot yourself or do nothing.

Episode 8

• Emily
  • You'll need to execute QTE's when being chased by the Wendigo.
  • If Emily is bitten, don't shoot her with Mike (This awards Let Em In).
• Chris
  • You must shoot all the Wendigo's on your run back to the lodge.
  • Once you reach the lodge, as long as Chris didn't choose to shoot Ashley in episode 6, you'll be fine.

Episode 9

• Ashley
  • If you investigate the noise, you will come to a trap door. Don't open it! Just walk past it.
• Chris
  • Chris can technically get killed at the same trap door if Ashley went on without him and then dies at the trap door. Since you're saving everyone, this is a moot point.

Episode 10

• Josh
  • His fate is determined based on you picking up any Tattoo Card collectible (The Twins #5 in Hannah's room for example) and the Journal with Sam by the mill (The Twins #20). When you enter the water, head left and climb up to find it. Josh survives in the long run. As long as you get all collectibles in a run where you save all characters, you won't have to worry about Josh.
• Jessica
  • You'll have an option to run or hide when you're with Jessica and Matt. You must hide! Then just get to the exit by staying together.
• Sam, Mike and Everyone Else
  • Once at the lodge you must stay still with Sam and then choose to save Mike. Now continue hiding whenever you have the "Hide" option,and once all characters are out of the lodge Sam, will automatically run to the light switch and end the game. Hitting the switch early will result in Sam surviving and everyone still inside of the Lodge burning to death.
