Follow this guide to navigate the picnic area, bridge, and fork in the road. Make crucial choices with Matt and Emily to survive the totem pole encounter in Until Dawn.
Alright, so you're continuing down the path and you'll hit a little picnic area. You can totally check out the picnic table here. If you do, Emily gets pretty worked up and wants you to move on. If you're feeling brave, you can keep wiping it down to find a carving from Emily and Mike last year – apparently, they've been there before. Matt might get a bit annoyed, but he'll smooth things over. Don't worry, this doesn't change your relationship status with anyone.
Next, you'll cross a bridge, and Emily will stop you halfway. This is your chance to talk to her and find out why she was so set on getting that bag – it turns out it has a special pair of undies inside! You'll get a dialogue choice here:
- FLIRT: "Who needs undies?" – This choice has no status changes.
- IMPATIENT: "Why didn't you say so!" – This will make Matt's FUNNY meter go DOWN, his BRAVERY meter go DOWN, but his ROMANCE meter go UP.
Keep going until you reach a fork in the road. Emily will even pause, so it's not obvious which way to go. The guide says you should head up the stairs on the right first, towards the totem pole.
Now, Emily starts messing around, joking about putting her hand in the totem pole, but then her whole arm gets yanked inside! You've got a critical choice to make:
| YOUR CHOICE | ||
| RESCUE EMILY! Matt's CHARITY metre goes UP. Matt's BRAVERY metre goes UP. Matt's FUNNY metre goes DOWN. | INVESTIGATE THREAT Matt's CURIOSITY metre goes UP. | TIME RUNS OUT Emily isn't happy about being outwitted, but you get no status change. |
