Find all 6 Danger Totems in Until Dawn. Learn what each vision means and how it relates to future events.
DANGER TOTEM #1
Chapter: 2 - Jealousy/Darkness
Location: On the floor right next to the shed with the generator.
Vision: Ashley is punched in the face by the Psycho.
Meaning: During Chapter 6, Chris is attacked by the Psycho. If Ashley grabbed the Scissors earlier, she can stab the Psycho in the shoulder. This action does not stop the Psycho but results in him punching Ashley in the eye.
DANGER TOTEM #2
Chapter: 3 - Haunted/Isolation
Location: While searching for Jessica, examine an old tractor for a jumpscare. Go left from the tractor to find the totem on the ground.
Vision: A stag appears to be enraged.
Meaning: This refers to an incident in Chapter 6 where Emily and Matt are backed off a cliff by deer. This danger only occurs if Matt attacks the deer, causing him to be backed off the cliff and potentially die. If Matt does not provoke the deer, they escape unharmed.
DANGER TOTEM #3
Chapter: 7 - Loss/Violence
Location: After Emily breaks down wooden boards, take a sharp right turn to find this totem in a chest at a dead end.
Vision: Mike is walking down a corridor. A long, clawed hand attempts to grab him.
Meaning: During Chapter 9, Mike walks through the Sanatorium with a shotgun. As he passes a corridor filled with trapped Wendigos, one reaches for him, initiating a Quick Time Event (QTE).
DANGER TOTEM #4
Chapter: 9 - Despair/Karma
Location: In the Sanatorium's chapel, a door in the far-left corner leads to a small room that exits outside. The totem is on the floor to the left within this small room.
Vision: A Wendigo leaps on top of Mike and begins scratching his face.
Meaning: This vision foreshadows an event in Chapter 9 where a Wendigo attacks Mike in the Sanatorium.
DANGER TOTEM #5
Chapter: 9 - Despair/Karma
Location: At the start of the journey to the Sanatorium, walk down a long corridor. Stay to the left to find an alcove containing this totem.
Vision: Josh turns to face the camera, grunting. His face is disfigured with elongated teeth and lacerations.
Meaning: After the credits, a scene plays based on whether Sam found Hannah's Journal in the mines. If found, Sam tells Josh about Hannah's fate, causing him to recognize her when she attacks as a Wendigo. Instead of killing him, she takes him away. Post-credits, he is seen feasting on flamethrower guy's head. A search party finds him, and he attacks them, partially transformed into a Wendigo.
DANGER TOTEM #6
Chapter: 10 - Repentance/Resolution
Location: When Sam climbs out of the mines, take the right path on the snowy trail. Continue until you find this totem on the ground at the base of a tree on the left.
