Is it better to give Matt the flare gun?

Yes, it's generally better to give Matt the flare gun in Until Dawn, but only if you've disagreed with Emily about going to the fire tower and he stows it, allowing him to defend himself from a Wendigo later, otherwise, he dies trying to save Emily; however, if you give it to him and he agreed to go to the tower, he'll waste it immediately, making saving him impossible at that point. Keeping the flare gun as Emily is also a strong choice for her survival, as she can use it to fight the monster later.

Should Matt have the flare gun?

In Until Dawn, giving the flare gun to Matt is often best for his survival, but it depends on how you give it and your prior choices (like agreeing/disagreeing about the radio tower) – generally, if Matt has the loaded flare gun (by you disagreeing with the tower and giving it to him) and you choose to save Emily on the tower, he can use it to save himself from the Wendigo; otherwise, he risks death in later chapters unless he jumps to safety. Keeping it gives Emily a potential last-minute save, but if she messes up, Matt still dies in the tower, or he lacks defense later.

Who is the hardest person to keep alive in Until Dawn?

The hardest character to keep alive in Until Dawn is generally considered to be Matt, closely followed by Jessica, due to counter-intuitive choices and high-stakes Quick Time Events (QTEs) that often lead to early or unexpected deaths, especially for players on a first playthrough without prior knowledge. Matt's survival often clashes with the natural instinct to save Emily, while Jessica faces an extremely challenging early sequence with tight timing and hidden options.

What happens if Emily has the flare gun?

Stowing it will be vital. Later, while being chased in Chapter 8, if Emily dodged the upcoming Wendigo hands, went left while in the mines, released the stones, toppled both barrels, leaped off the conveyor belt or jumped over it, and has the flare gun, Emily will turn around and can shoot at the Wendigo approaching.

Should you let Matt look through the telescope?

Whether you should let Matt look through the telescope in Until Dawn depends on the outcome you want, as it triggers a "Butterfly Effect": letting him see Emily hug Mike causes him to confront Mike later, potentially leading to a fight and straining his relationship with Emily, while telling him to look away avoids this drama and shifts conflict to Jessica and Emily. Many players choose to discourage him to keep Matt and Emily's relationship positive and avoid immediate conflict, while others show him to see how the relationships evolve.

Can Matt survive if he saves Emily?

When you're playing as Matt again, if you want to entirely avoid his potential death, jump to safety. If not, and if Matt still has the usable Flare Gun, choose to save Emily twice. You'll then have a target to shoot. If you fail, Matt will be impaled on a hook.

Is Josh the bad guy in Until Dawn?

Josh Washington in Until Dawn isn't purely "evil"; he's a sympathetic antagonist driven by grief and guilt over his sisters' deaths, enacting revenge as "The Psycho" but without intending to kill, though his actions are extreme and traumatizing, leading to intense player debate about his morality and if he's a villain or victim. He's mentally unstable and seeking vengeance, making him a complex, tragic figure, not a straightforward bad guy.

How to save both Matt and Emily?

To save both Matt and Emily in Until Dawn, you must have Matt disagree with Emily about the radio tower in Chapter 5, don't attack the elk, give Matt the flare gun as Emily, and then have Matt jump to safety in Chapter 6 (or, if you try to save her, ensure he doesn't miss his shot when defending himself), and consistently succeed at all "Don't Move" and Quick Time Events (QTEs) for both characters, especially in later chapters when they're together.

Is it better to shoot Emily or not?

Whether you should "shoot Emily" depends on whether you're playing the horror game Until Dawn, where it's a critical choice affecting trophies and story, or a real-life situation, where violence is never the answer and you should seek help for any harmful impulses. In Until Dawn, shooting her unlocks a trophy but may not lead to her survival, while not shooting her allows her to live, but she can still die later; the "right" choice depends on your goals, though not shooting her is generally considered the path to saving her and getting a better outcome.

Is there a way to save Wolfie until dawn?

Yes, you can save the wolf (Wolfie) in Until Dawn, but it requires specific actions in Chapters 5 and 9: first, befriend the wolf in the chapel by not kicking it (and ideally giving it a bone from the altar chest), and then, in Chapter 9, successfully complete Mike's quick-time events (QTEs) and barricade the door instead of trying to escape, which allows the wolf to live, earning you "The Skilful Wolf Man" trophy. Choosing to escape the sanatorium or failing QTEs in Chapter 9 leads to Wolfie's death.

What happens if you choose Josh instead of Ashley?

If you choose to save Josh over Ashley in Until Dawn, Josh still "dies" in the trap (it's a fake death as part of his prank), but the choice affects character relationships: Josh becomes less antagonistic towards Chris (who chose him), while Ashley might become more distant or even hesitant to help Chris later, and Chris's relationship with Ashley is strained as she thinks he prioritized Josh. The core outcome of the trap itself is rigged to "kill" Josh, regardless of your lever pull, but saying you'll save him changes subsequent dialogue and relationship scores.
