How To Kill Everyone In Until Dawn Remake

Quick Links

The survivors can all potentially die in the Until Dawn Remake. Killing everyone is even required for one of the PlayStation 5 Trophies - "This is THE End." How they meet their demise can affect further story and plot elements. It can change who the next protagonist is, alter scenes, or completely by sections. Additionally, the remaining characters may be traumatized by the loss of a loved one, relish that a rival perished, or try to console others. This makes seeing various deaths in different parts of the game worthwhile.

The remake does have improved graphics, which makes the death scenes even more graphic and visceral than the PlayStation 4 version of Until Dawn. The original actors, like Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek, returned using the same motion capture and audio recordings. If you don’t want to see your favorite star bite the dust, it may be a good idea to pick a less brutal death. Still, if your goal is to kill everyone, then some options may be inaccessible.

Early Demises - Ways To Kill Jessica and Matt

Their Fates Can Be Sealed Quickly

Both Jessica and Matt might be doomed early on in Until Dawn. For Jessica, her survival is mostly based on the actions of others. In Matt’s case, making one bad choice can cascade into a guaranteed death.

How To Get Jessica Killed

Jessica makes a series of bad choices during the first few chapters. Compared to everyone else, she is the least intelligent person in Until Dawn. Jessica is even unplayable unless Matt has already screwed up worse.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Abducted and Ripped Jaw	Four	As Mike, fail all the QTEs when trying to chase after Jessica and the unknown figure.
Matt Leaves Jessica to Die	Six	As Matt, let the herd of elk roam by. If you provoke them, all QTEs to climb back up the mountain. Later, when Emily falls down the tower, do not save her.
Matt Leaves Jessica to Die	Nine	As Matt, make the decision to run ahead of the injured Jessica, or abandon her entirely. The Wendigo will find and kill her.
Wendigo Catches Matt and Jessica Together	Nine	As Matt, fail any QTE or let a decision timer expire.

Stabbed by Wendigo	Nine	As Jessica, fail any standstill prompt or let a decision timer expire.

How To Get Matt Killed

Matt’s deaths can be a bit comical. His encounter with the wild elk herd feels out of place in a horror narrative like Until Dawn. In most cases, you must make several errors to kill him.

Hooked by Wendigo	Five	As Matt, agree with Emily to head to the Radio Tower.

Wendigo Catches Matt and Jessica Together	Nine	As Matt, fail any QTE or let a decision timer expire.

Many Ways To Die - Ways To Kill Chris, Ashley, and Emily

Risks At Every Turn

These three survivors have the most ways of dying in Until Dawn. It will be interesting to see which scenes make it into the film adaptation. It is doubtful that all three of them will live, but it is still possible.

How To Get Chris Killed

Chris’s survival is not only up to him but also very dependent on Ashley. YouTuber GoGa No Commentary had to choose between which of the two to gun down. They chose Chris, who actually gave him another chance to live.

Your last chance to eliminate Chris is during the ninth chapter. Chris will automatically escape if he is still around for the final encounter. If you make several errors, such as Sam, it is possible to make Chris the sole survivor.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Ambushed by Wendigo	Eight	When out hunting Wendigo with the Stranger, fail any of the shooting segment QTEs.
Ashley Strands Chris	Six	When Chris and Ashley are captured by the Psycho, choose to shoot Ashely.
Ashley Strands Chris	Eight	When out with the Stranger, all shooting segment QTEs. Ashley will still hold a grudge and allow Chris to die.
Wendigo “Jessica” Trap	Nine	As Ashley, do not attempt to meet up with Chris. Then, as Chris, follow the voice of Jessica and open the latch. Note: If Ashley is dead, Chris will automatically investigate and die.

How To Get Ashley Killed

Many of Ashley’s possible deaths are linked to Emily. The better Emily performs in her sections, the more she byes a later scuffle. Doing so might put Matt in more danger, which may be your intended goal.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Wendigo “Jessica” Trap	Nine	As Ashley, do not attempt to meet up with Chris. Then, follow Jessica's voice and open the latch.
Caught in Lodge Explosion	Ten	As Sam, rush to the light switch before Ashley can escape.
Gouged Eyes	Six	As Emily, give the flare gun to Matt or shoot it now.
	Eight	As Emily, make sure to take some damage when escaping the Wendigo. As Ashley, point out Emily’s bite mark. But, as Mike, refuse to shoot Emily.
	Ten	Ashley has called Emily out, so Emily will quickly barge out of the lodge. As Sam, ignore assisting Ashley with the Wendigo.

How To Get Emily Killed

Emily has some of the most brutal deaths in Until Dawn. But with how chaotic the game can get, you might not even spot them even after playing multiple times. To achieve certain deaths, you need to be methodical.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Crushed in Eyes	Eight	When being chased by the Wendigo, fail too many QTEs or don’t start the elevator.
Fall in Rock Grinder	Eight	Take the right-side route. Stay on the conveyor belt and fail the two QTEs.
Shot by Mike	Six	As Emily, give the flare gun to Matt.
Shot by Mike	Eight	During the Wendigo chase, take damage and get bitten. Then as Mike, shoot a “possibly infected” Emily.
Caught in Lodge Explosion	Ten	As Sam, rush to the light switch before Emily can escape.
Gouged Eyes	Five	As Matt, disagree with Emily about heading to the Radio Tower.
	Six	As Emily, keep the flare gun for yourself.
	Eight	During the Wendigo chase, take the left path and all QTEs. Then, shoot the Wendigo with the flare to avoid being bitten.
	Ten	Because there was no bite confrontation, Emily will allow Ashley to leave first. As Sam, simply ignore helping Emily.

Last Minute Deaths - Ways To Kill Mike, Sam, and Josh

They Will Often Live

Mike and Sam are key players in the story of Until Dawn and have very few ways of dying. For most of the game, things that should have killed them only leave them injured or scared. It may seem like they are unkillable.

Additionally, Josh dies by default. You don’t need to do anything special to ensure his demise. However, if you collect all of the secret items - namely the Scrawled Journal - he will snap out of it and wind up living.

How To Get Mike Killed

The death of Mike comes only in the final chapter of Until Dawn. You will be playing as Sam for the majority of the section. If you don’t mind her surviving, it is possible to kill Mike, Ashley, and Emily in the single action of detonating the lodge.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Burned by Sam	Ten	As Sam, rush to the light switch early and let all other survivors die.
Self-Immolation	Ten	As Sam, fail the first stand still prompt so that Mike is injured but not dead. Then, get her killed by being noticed by the Wendigo. Mike will then blow up the lodge with his lighter.

How To Get Sam Killed

Sam has only one way to die in Until Dawn. If you time things right, it is possible to kill Sam but allow Mike to live - the first standstill event, then fail the second. But, for the remake, allowing her to live can reveal a new ending.

Death	Chapter	Actions
Stabbed by Wendigo	Ten	Fail the second stand still prompt to help Mike. Note: if Mike has already left the lodge, there is no longer a way to kill Sam.
