This achievement guide is written with individual achievements in approximate chronological order, and some achievements are grouped together, like collectibles, for example.

You can use accessibility features to make some achievements easier, for example, auto completing QTEs or removing the "Don't Move" mechanics entirely, if you want to.

Also, I often refer to Episodes as Chapters, sorry about that!

They All Live - "All eight friends survived until dawn"

All eight friends must survive. The Stranger doesn't count, and neither do the twins.

In general, pass all QTEs, shooting sections, and Don't Move segments.

Everyone must die! Here's the recommended way to go:

Fail to reach Jessica in time as Mike, or alternatively use her death in Chapter 10 if using Episode Select from a playthrough where she lives.

In Chapter 6, as Matt, attack the deer and fail the QTEs to fall and die.

In Chapter 6, choose to shoot Ashley - this will result in Chris dying in a later chapter.

In Chapter 8, get Emily killed escaping the mines - like to the big mine crushing machine, or shoot her in the basement as Mike later on.

As Chris in Chapter 8, make it back to the lodge successfully and Ash will let him die.

In Chapter 9, investigate the noise as Ash and open the trap door to die.

In Chapter 10, do not find the scrawled journal clue and Josh will die later.

In Chapter 10, choose to run, not hide, as Jessica.

As Sam, fail to stay still in the lodge. Mike sacrifices himself as he is last left.

For this achievement, everyone must die apart from Matt and Jessica. Obviously, keep Jessica and Matt alive.

The recommended way is to follow the above achievement from choosing to shoot Ash in the second trial, and choosing to hide as Jess and Matt at the end of the game, then break through the barricaded exit. Pass all the Don't Moves as well when playing as them.

When Chris lets everyone into the lodge in Chapter 2, as Matt, accuse Mike of getting close with Emily and argue with him.

Then Emily will come into the lodge and start being rude to Jess. Support Emily in doing this.

When playing as Mike after leaving the lodge to go to the Guest Cabin, Jess will head to the wooden railing for a selfie. If you head over and take a selfie with her, aim the camera so both their faces are not in frame for this achievement.

If you do not head over to Jessica and opt to explore first, she will leave the railing and you will have missed this achievement.

In Chapter 5, when exploring the Sanatorium, investigate the wiggling hand. Select to open the bear trap and the machete will break once. Do the same again! Finally, choose to amputate fingers and the achievement will unlock.

When playing as Sam in Chapter 5 after her bath, you can throw a vase at the Psycho for this achievement.

OR when playing as Ashley after the séance, you can find some scissors in the basement next to a clue. You can later use these when prompted to stab the Psycho for the achievement.

Either works fine!

After your bath as Sam, you will need to flee the Psycho. A prerequisite is that Chris did not shoot the squirrel and Mike did not kill the bird with a snowball in earlier chapters!

This is what I did to obtain the achievement:

Throw the vase.

Pass all QTEs.

Keep running at every opportunity when prompted - EXCEPT at the final one by the elevator shaft. Choose to hide here.

Pull down the wine shelf.

Shut the door bolt behind you quickly.

Pass the Don't Move and QTE.

To earn this achievement, you must do one of the following:

As Matt: In Chapter 5, when heading to the cable car station, disagree with Emily's plan to go to the tower. Then as Emily, find the flare at the top of the tower and give it to Matt. Then later in the mines, as Matt, try to save Emily twice on the tower collapsing. Matt will get grabbed after leaving the tower and will have an opportunity to use the flare gun for the achievement.

As Emily: You can keep the flare gun in the tower and later, when escaping the mines, there is an opportunity to shoot the Wendigo with it.

Emily must escape the mines and upon returning to the cabin, Ash will accuse her of becoming a Wendigo. Mike must not shoot Emily, and then later when Ashley is reading the Stranger's book, she must be honest about the bite and she will get slapped, earning the achievement.

Note that Emily should not take the flare gun in Chapter 6 for this achievement.

Nightmare on Ash Street - "Ashley hesitated and failed to let Chris inside in time"

Choose to shoot Ash in Chapter 6 as Chris, and this achievement will unlock later when Ashley fails to let Chris into the cabin. You must succeed as Chris in the shooting sections first. Unlocked using this guide's All Die route!

In Mike's first visit to the Sanatorium, do not punch the dog when it jumps at you when entering the chapel. Then find a bone in the front chapel box and give it to the dog to befriend it.

Later, upon Mike's second visit to the Sanatorium, you must succeed all QTEs, Don't Moves, and shooting sections and keep following the game through the area. When given an option to barricade or run, choose to barricade the door. This will save the wolf!

An American Survivor in Canada - "Mike successfully escapes the Sanatorium in Chapter 9"

This achievement is earned when Mike returns to the Sanatorium. Succeed all QTEs, shooting segments, and Don't Move segments until you escape. Shoot the barrels when prompted to blow up the Wendigo.

In Chapter 9, when playing as Ashley or Chris in the underground tunnels, choose to investigate the voice rather than return to the group. Then you will see a trap door banging. Choose to open it and you will die, earning the achievement. Unlocked using this guide's All Die route!

This achievement is actually earned when chasing after Jessica as Mike after she is taken from the window. You must take all shortcuts and quick routes and not fail any QTEs. This will result in Mike finding Jessica alive on the mine elevator shaft.

You will not earn the achievement here! You must wait until towards the end of the game when you get to play as Jessica for the achievement to unlock, if you did it all correctly.

In one of Josh's sessions with Dr. Hill, you can pick either 'Charity', 'Honesty', or 'Loyalty' as being the most important characteristic of friends. Whichever you plan on picking, keep this stat as high as possible for all characters. Loyalty seems to be the hardest to get right - I would 100% recommend choosing Charity.

Josh's friends must also support him emotionally whenever possible. When taking Josh to the shed, choose these choices: "Scold" → "Skeptical" → "Defensive" → "Disarm".

When talking to Doctor Hill throughout the game, say he is real and also pick options around being regretful, apologetic, and remorseful about what you have done to your friends. Sam must also escape the Psycho in Chapter 5. Late in the game as Josh, choose to be apologetic.

Then later as Sam in Chapter 10, find the scrawled journal so Josh can find out about Hannah and thus not die. Also keep all characters alive!

Then at the end of the game, if these criteria are met, Josh will have a new ending and earn this achievement.

This achievement unlocks at the end of the game if the criteria are met. Basically, do not kill any wildlife on the mountain.

Feed the squirrel in the first episode.

Do not shoot the squirrel as Chris at the shooting range.

Do not hit the bird with a snowball as Mike.

Do not punch the wolf as Mike.

Do not kill the deer as Matt when on the edge of the mountain.

Do not shoot the can in the Sanatorium.

Mercy killing the deer as Mike on the way to the Guest Cabin does not void the achievement.

All totems and clues can be found on Episode/Chapter Select for the achievements.

The Fateful Descent - Find all the clues from the 1952 Clueline.

The Tale of The Two Sisters - Find all the clues from the Twins Clueline.

You Opened Their Eyes - Find all the clues from the Mystery Man Clueline.

An Omen? - Find all 36 totems on the mountain.

It's Shining - Find all the new interactables across Blackwood Mountain.

Patient Sematary - Mike picked up the odd figurine.

Carnival of Solitude - Shake the Snow Globe.

Complete the prologue of the game!

Unlocked around halfway through the game.

Complete the game fully once to unlock this. Doing so unlocks Chapter/Episode Select.

Replay the prologue after beating the game using Episode/Chapter Select and choose the alternate option when Beth and Hannah fall over the edge of the cliff to what you chose on your first playthrough. Later in Dr. Hill's therapy, you will get the achievement.

Simply unlock all other achievements in the game! Good luck.

If it doesn't unlock, try going through your collectible tabs or replaying a chapter.

That includes every achievement in Until Dawn, all the live/die outcomes, collectibles, and story-related unlocks. Follow this guide and you will be at 100% completion in no time. Just don't move when the game tells you not to, respect the wildlife, and always watch out for those totems.
