Should I shoot the Wendigo or the barrel?

In Until Dawn, when Mike faces Wendigos in the asylum (Chapter 9), shoot the Wendigos directly, not the explosive barrels, to save Chris and the wolf; shooting the barrels causes an explosion that kills Mike or the wolf, while shooting the creatures saves them and progresses the story as intended, although the asylum explodes regardless later.

Should Mike shoot Wendigo or Barrels?

Make sure not to shoot the explosive barrels at this point; doing so will result in Mike dying in the explosion. Instead, shoot the Wendigo. After switching over to Ashley, make sure to reassure Chris and stick together as a group.

What happens if Chris doesn't shoot the Wendigo?

Chris. If Chris is too slow to shoot the Wendigo away from him, he will be grabbed and decapitated. If Chris had chosen to shoot Ashley earlier in Chapter 6, Ashley will fail to let him in when he reaches the door to the lodge, resulting in Chris getting decapitated by the Wendigo.

Should Mike shoot the Wendigos in the cages?

In Until Dawn, when Mike faces the Wendigo in the cell, you should shoot it to progress the chase and survive, as bullets do temporarily stun them, leading to a QTE to escape, but remember ammo regenerates, so don't worry about conserving bullets for those chained Wendigos; shoot them too to get through the area faster and keep your companion wolf safe.

What happens if you shoot a Wendigo?

A wounded wendigo simply regenerates. The trick is to employ silver bullets, or a pure silver blade or stake, and strike right through the wendigo's ice-cold heart.

What's the worst ending in Until Dawn?

The absolute worst ending in Until Dawn is the "This Is THE End" trophy where everyone dies, achieved by failing most possible QTEs and choices, making characters like Sam and Mike get killed in the final moments, resulting in no survivors besides potential Josh becoming a Wendigo, a truly horrific conclusion to the night. This ending signifies complete failure, with gruesome deaths for almost all characters, highlighting the catastrophic consequences of poor decisions and missed actions.

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 Mike didn't shoot the Wendigo?

If Mike doesn't push the barrel out or shoot it, and Mike does not have the machete, Wolfie will distract one of the Wendigos to protect Mike and will get his neck snapped. If Mike doesn't barricade the door, Wolfie will be slaughtered by a Wendigo when he looks down at Mike.

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 amputate Mike's fingers?

If Mike loses his fingers in the video game Until Dawn, it's a major choice: he keeps his machete for later use (like freeing Sam or fighting a Wendigo) but endures severe injury and a trophy, while trying to save them breaks the machete, leaving him weaponless but potentially preventing the gruesome self-amputation. This decision, part of the game's Butterfly Effect, affects future gameplay, as an intact machete is useful, but losing fingers can add character drama or be avoided entirely, say Reddit users.

Can you stop Josh from turning into a Wendigo?

Unlike the original release, the Until Dawn remake offers a new ending for Josh, giving players the chance to save him from being turned into a feral Wendigo. There are a couple of things you'll need to do in order to pull this off. First, make sure that Sam finds the Scrawled Journal in Chapter 10, as outlined above.

Does Josh actually get cut in half?

Yes, in the original Until Dawn, Josh gets sawed in half in a seemingly unavoidable scene in Chapter 4, but it's revealed later that it was a fake-out: a dummy body rigged by Josh himself as part of his revenge prank, meaning the real Josh wasn't actually killed there, though he faces other deadly fates later in the game. In the 2024 remake, there's actually a complex way for players to save Josh from his ultimate tragic ending, requiring specific actions like finding clues and showing remorse, though it's very challenging.

What happens if you say Wendigo out loud?

Saying "Wendigo" aloud is considered taboo in many Algonquian cultures because it's believed to attract the malevolent spirit or give it power, potentially inviting misfortune, craving human flesh, or even summoning the entity itself, though modern pop culture often misrepresents the true Indigenous lore. While some Indigenous people may not mind others using the term, it's deeply tied to serious spiritual beliefs, making it disrespectful to treat casually, and many advise against it to avoid cultural appropriation and potential spiritual consequences.

How to prevent Mike from dying until dawn?

To save Mike in Until Dawn, you primarily need to help Sam in the final chapter (Chapter 10) by successfully navigating her "Don't Move" segments and choosing to "Save Mike" after he breaks the light bulb, ensuring you don't run to the switch; also, in Chapter 9, barricade the door in the sanatorium to protect him from wolves. If Mike gets injured in the sanatorium (by failing QTEs or getting bit), it makes saving him harder but still possible if Sam does everything right in the finale.

Can Josh survive until dawn?

Yes, Josh can survive Until Dawn, but only in the recent remake by fulfilling specific conditions: finding Hannah's journal as Sam, showing remorse (saying "I'm so sorry") during his therapy session with Dr. Hill, and ensuring everyone else survives until that point. These actions allow Sam to recognize Hannah, leading to an extra scene where Josh is saved from the Wendigo transformation in the game's best ending.

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.

Should I shoot barrels or Wendigo Mike?

In Until Dawn, the choice at the sanatorium's end (Shoot Barrels or Wendigo Mike) isn't about killing Mike, but about how he escapes: shooting the explosive barrels causes a big blast, letting him escape but potentially harming the wolf if present; failing QTEs or choosing to shoot the Wendigo leads to Sam rescuing him from the sanatorium, making him injured but alive, ensuring his plot armor protects him until later. The main impact is on the wolf's survival and where Sam finds Mike, not Mike's life, as he's unkillable until the finale.

Can Emily survive without the flare gun?

Yes, Emily can survive without the flare gun in Until Dawn, but it's much harder and requires perfect performance in later Quick-Time Events (QTEs) during her chase in the mines (Chapter 8) to avoid the Wendigo bite, or if she does get bit, requires specific choices from Mike and Sam later to prevent her death in the lodge, making keeping the gun (or giving it to Matt) generally easier for overall survival. The flare gun prevents the bite entirely, but if she doesn't have it, you need flawless QTEs and good choices in later chapters to keep her alive.

Why did Emily and Mike break up?

They have both begun relationships with other people. However, Mike's reasoning for breaking up with Emily was because of an attraction to Jessica, while Emily's new relationship with Matt is more so a cover-up for her rebounding over the break-up.
