Should Matt break through or keep running?

In Until Dawn, whether Matt should "break through" or "keep running" depends on his situation and if Jessica is with him; generally, hiding with Jessica (which involves breaking through a barrier) and staying still is safer, but if alone (after Jessica's death), running and successfully completing a quick-time event (QTE) to lock the door can save him, while failing either choice or moving when you shouldn't usually leads to death by Wendigo.

Should Matt keep running or break through?

If Matt busts through the wall, and moves, the Wendigo will see and kill him. If Matt remains still, the Wendigo leaves, and he survives and sees the lodge in the distance.

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.

How to keep Matt alive?

To keep Matt alive in Until Dawn, avoid hitting the elk, disagree with Emily about the radio tower, give her the flare gun, and choose to help her (successfully using the flare) or jump to safety; later, if with Jess, always hide and pass all "Don't Move" prompts and QTEs, while if alone, outrun the Wendigo by succeeding at QTEs or hiding and perfectly executing "Don't Move" sequences.

What happens if Matt jumps to safety in until dawn?

The first opportunity where you have to choose between jumping to safety and saving Emily doesn't matter, choose whatever you want there. The second opportunity is the one that matters. If you jump to safety, Matt will not be attacked and killed, he'll be safe. Very simple.

Should Matt jump to safety or save Emily?

In Until Dawn, whether Matt saves Emily or jumps to safety depends on key choices: if Matt has the flare gun (by disagreeing with Emily about the tower), he can save her by fighting the monster; if he doesn't have it (or wasted it), he must jump to safety to survive, as trying to save her without the gun leads to his death, though Emily's fate (getting bitten) becomes more likely. The safest bet for Matt's survival is often to jump, but saving both requires specific preceding actions like disagreeing with Emily earlier in Chapter 5.

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.

Can Matt still survive without the flare gun?

If he has the flare, he will remember it and aim it behind him. Successfully shooting the flare will cause the Wendigo to flee, and Matt will still be alive. Not having the usable flare gun, or missing the shot, will result in Matt's death.

Should I 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.

How does Emily not get bitten?

If she jumps off or over the conveyor belt, and has the flare gun on her, she can use it against the Wendigo and avoid being bitten. If she doesn't have the flare gun, or made too many wrong choices during her escape, she will be bitten. She'll then hop on to a zip line and escape from the mines.

Is there a way to save Wolfie in Until Dawn?

Yes, you can save the wolf (Wolfie) in Until Dawn, but it requires specific actions in Chapters 5 and 9: befriend the wolf in the chapel (Chapter 5) by not kicking it and optionally giving it a bone, then in Chapter 9, successfully complete Mike's QTEs and choose to barricade the door instead of escaping, which secures its survival as it won't follow Mike down the hole but stays safe from the immediate threat.

Is it better to shoot Chris or Ashley?

In the game Until Dawn, there's no single "right" answer for Chris in the Chapter 6 trap; shooting himself or doing nothing (which defaults to him trying to shoot himself) saves Ashley and progresses their relationship positively, while shooting Ashley makes her distrust him, leading to him getting killed later by a wendigo because she won't open the door, so it's a choice between character development/survival and a potentially tragic, but logical, consequence.

What is the true ending in Until Dawn?

The "true ending" in Until Dawn typically means everyone survives, which requires specific choices to save all eight teens (Sam, Mike, Chris, Ashley, Emily, Matt, Jessica) and ensure Josh remains human, culminating in a post-credits interview where all are rescued, though traumatized, after the lodge explosion. Key steps involve keeping good relationships, finding all clues (especially Hannah's journal for Josh), making correct "Don't Move" choices as Sam, and ensuring characters like Matt and Emily make smart decisions to survive the Wendigo threat, leading to a hopeful but intense outcome.

Who is the real killer in Until Dawn?

In Until Dawn, the main "killer" is initially presented as a masked Psycho, revealed to be Josh Washington, enacting revenge on his friends for a prank on his sisters, but the true monstrous threat is the Wendigo, possessed miners cursed by a totem. In the recent 2025 movie adaptation, the masked figure (possibly still Josh) is part of a time loop, but the Wendigo curse is central, with the killer changing forms, representing fear and guilt, making it both a human-driven revenge plot and a supernatural horror.

Is Jessica still alive Until Dawn?

Yes, Jessica can survive until dawn in Until Dawn, but it requires specific choices and successful Quick Time Events (QTEs) as both Mike in Chapter 4 (the chase) and Matt in Chapter 10 (the mines), focusing on taking quick paths and hiding together to avoid the Wendigo. If you fail these segments, especially as Mike, the Wendigo will rip out her jaw; if you fail as Matt, she can still die, but if you succeed in hiding and making the right QTEs, both she and Matt can survive.
