Guide Emily through the perilous mines in Until Dawn Chapter 8. Learn how to find collectibles, survive QTEs, and make crucial choices to escape the Wendigo.

Alright, so Emily's in a real pickle here, and it looks like that flamethrower guy might actually be on our side. After that whole ordeal, you'll regain control of Emily with a flare. What happens next depends a bit on whether she hid from the Stranger earlier, but we'll cover the main path.

First things first, turn around from where Emily's facing and head towards the back of the screen. Keep an eye out on your right – there's a small wooden shack. Inside, you'll find a collectible: the 1952 Clue #17 - Romantic Postcard. Grab it!

Now, head left and drop down the ledge. You'll be walking along a tunnel. Look for another wooden structure on the right side. Inside this one, you'll find the Fortune Totem #4. This totem gives you a vision: Mike lowers his gun, refraining from shooting someone. Keep this in mind!

Continue down the path until it looks like a dead end. Take a deep breath, because you need to squeeze through a gap in the rocks to your right. This is where things get intense, so pay close attention!

ACTION SEQUENCE!

  1. You'll immediately need to press the TRIANGLE BUTTON to dodge a clawed hand.
  2. Next, hit the TRIANGLE BUTTON again to jump over the first gap.
  3. Quickly press the SQUARE BUTTON to make sure Emily doesn't drop her flare. (If you messed up the previous jump, this one won't even happen.)
  4. You'll be given a choice between going left or right. Go LEFT! It's a bit of a jump scare if you don't, and you need to choose within about four seconds or you'll get startled.

Emily will finally reach the surface elevator. This next part is critical: if you take more than two seconds to do the upcoming QTE, the Wendigo will catch her and kill her right here. You'll have to skip ahead to the lodge if that happens, so don't let it!

  1. Pull the lever DOWN.

The elevator goes up, but don't relax yet. As it reaches the top, Emily hears noises. There's a clawed hand near one shoulder and the creature's face is visible through the wooden planks behind her! If you hid from the Stranger earlier and haven't failed any QTEs so far, you'll get a 'Don't Move' prompt. If not, this part might be skipped.

  1. DON'T MOVE! Seriously, if you move, Emily dies.

Emily makes it outside and keeps running. It's not over! You'll need to hit a few more buttons to keep her safe.

  1. Press the SQUARE BUTTON to pull a chain, dropping boulders behind her to slow the creature.
  2. Press the O BUTTON to knock over a barrel.
  3. Then, hit the TRIANGLE BUTTON to knock over another barrel, spilling oil. Warning: If you fail this specific QTE, the Wendigo WILL catch Emily and kill her. Do NOT fail this one!

Emily's smart and drops her flare into the oil, creating a wall of fire. She then drops down a ledge onto a conveyor belt. Now you have a choice, and it's a big one:

YOUR CHOICE
STAY ON (Risky - possible death)LEAP OFF (Safest option)
At the end of the conveyor belt, there's an open panel with grinding gears. Press the O BUTTON to jump to safety. If you fail this QTE, Emily dies.Emily jumps onto the adjacent, stationary conveyor belt. She works her way around to the wooden shack without any danger. There are no QTEs here.
