Learn how to trigger Emily's various deaths in Until Dawn, including eye gouging, grinder, shooting, and explosion fatalities.
Emily's Death #1
Chapters: 8 and 10
When: Emily is running away from the Wendigo in the mines, or Emily is about to be attacked by the Wendigo at the lodge.
How to achieve: In Chapter 8, either take too long pulling the lever for the elevator, fail the DON'T MOVE (quick-time event) at the top of the elevator, or fail the O BUTTON (quick-time event) where Emily must knock over an oil barrel to set it alight. This exact death can be mimicked in Chapter 10 during the final confrontation if Chris is still alive and Mike was injured by failing the first DON'T MOVE (quick-time event). This leaves the Wendigo to attack Emily instead of Mike; let the timer run out instead of saving Emily.
Details: The Wendigo jumps towards Emily and holds her head in both claws. Emily struggles as the Wendigo holds its thumbs directly above her eyes and plunges them straight through her eyeballs. There is a bloody mess as the Wendigo twists its claws, then takes them out, revealing the gaping hole where Emily's eyes used to be. She dies almost immediately.
Emily's Death #2
Chapter: 8
When: Emily is running away from the Wendigo and finds herself on a moving conveyor belt.
How to achieve: When Emily is on the moving conveyor belt, choose to STAY ON rather than jump off. If you fail the quick-time events (QTEs) at the end of the belt, Emily will fall into a grinding machine and die.
Details: Emily falls into the grinder; she screams as it crushes her legs, and she is pulled in up to her midriff. Blood spurts out, and she dies very quickly.
Emily's Death #3
Chapter: 8
When: Emily is confronted about her bite by Mike and Ashley, and the player gets the option to shoot her.
How to achieve: First, Emily must have been bitten by the Wendigo during the chase at the beginning of the chapter. This means she must either have had no flare gun, or had a flare gun and failed to use it. Then, when Mike points his gun at Emily later, hover the cursor over the target and press R2 to shoot.
Details: Mike pulls the trigger; the bullet goes straight through Emily's eye, and she dies almost instantly. The bloody hole where the bullet hit is visible.
Emily's Death #4
Chapter: 10
When: During the final confrontation at the lodge.
How to achieve: Make Sam run straight for the light switch at the first opportunity. This can also be achieved if Sam dies and Mike makes a run for the light switch, or if Sam dies and Mike is injured, resulting in him using his lighter to blow up the lodge.
Details: The lodge explodes in flames; Emily screams as she rolls onto the floor, her body charred and melting.
