Learn how to handle the bird encounter and make crucial choices that affect Jessica and Mike's relationship in Until Dawn (Remake).
Alright, so you're with Jess and Mike, and a bird lands nearby. The game's gonna try and trick you here, telling you to do nothing. And guess what? It's right! If you remember a Guidance Totem with a bird on it, this is that moment. Leave the bird alone, and Mike will reveal himself so you can finally throw that snowball at him.
Just wait for the timer on the bird's target to run out. As soon as it does, Mike pops out from behind a tree, a target appears over him, and BAM – throw that snowball!
Heads up: If you mess up and actually hit the bird, it'll fall and die. This freaks Jessica out and throws Mike off. The dialogue changes a bit, and you'll have to nail a Quick Time Event (QTE) later.
After some super cheesy dialogue, Mike catches up to Jessica, and they tumble to the ground. You'll get a choice:
| YOUR CHOICE | RESULT |
| KISS MIKE | Mike and Jessica kiss, and after some more corny exchanges they continue to the lodge. Jessica's BRAVERY metre goes DOWN. Jessica's ROMANTIC metre goes UP. Jessica's CURIOSITY metre goes UP. Jessica and Mike like each other more. |
| GRAB SNOWBALL | Jessica grabs a snowball and chucks it in Mike's face. He takes it in his stride before they both continue to the lodge. Jessica's FUNNY metre goes UP. |
| DO NOTHING | Skips ahead to the next scene. Jess and Mike like each other less. |
Now, remember that if you hit the bird earlier, an icicle will fall towards them, and you'll need to press the TRIANGLE BUTTON to dodge it. Don't worry too much if you miss this QTE, you won't die.
After this, Jess and Mike head to the cable car station.
