- A new Until Dawn video? I'm just as shocked as you are!
Have you ever wondered what scenes go with which totems, and how you might've been intended to interpret the totem visions in the first place? Are you curious about how well the scenes actually line up? Do you just want to hear my witty takes on how useless danger totems are, considering at least two show situations that aren't even truly dangerous? Well, you're in the right place, especially for that last part.
I used a lot of sources for this video, both for information and for clips, so please check them out and give them some views!

Honestly the only thing I can think of behind the Wendigo hand attacking Mike totem is that it’s trying to warn you that there are more Wendigo in the sanitorium when you go back there in chapter 9
I feel exactly the same about that totem. It serves as a warning of danger that there are more Wendigos in the lodge, a situation that is later clarified with the flamethrower guy's diary where he explains that he had several Wendigos locked in cages and that is why Sam gets nervous and runs to warn Mike about something the player already knows and anticipates. Obviously after playing Until Dawn and finding out a bit more about other possible endings we found out that Mike can only die in the lodge but if you find those totems in your first game you can imagine the worst and it creates a more tense environment when you are playing
@@camico6403 you mean more Wendigos in the sanatorium?
The Emily loss totem was a huge troll when I first started. Because there was Chris going to make a flamethrower josh making a fire. I kinda thought that Jess would push Emily into the fire and then you had to catch her or she died but nope. It’s 9 chapters away
It's SUCH a troll; I was also sure that Chris making the flamethrower was going to be part of it myself.
@@TesseractHeartMisc I know this sounds weird but it’d be kind’ ve cool if totems changed depending on your actions. Example: if Jessica survives fortune totem 2 shows Jessica with Matt. If she doesn’t it’s Matt alone
7:55 Interesting how this scene never actually happens!
11:19 Whoa that's so cool !!! It makes total sense but I also understand why players tend to quickly choose to lock it since it's almost always their first time playing and within those few second of choosing either option, they're thinking of buying themselves/group time to run
When you mentioned that Ashley's hair is in a low ponytail I honestly didn't realize that I thought that since her hair was ripped off that her hair was just back because it wasn't on her body anymore but I also think that did that so her hair wasn't in her face when her head rolled
Wanting her hair to be out of her face actually makes a lot of sense!
I actually knew about the wendigo once I found Matt’s Loss totem found by mike. If you keep pressing the replay button it just restarts. I was curious what this thing was that killed Matt, and saw THAT THING when I replayed it, and instantly knew what the threat was. That’s when I thought about how the killer wasn’t the only threat. Hell maybe it could kill him, then later it turns out to be Josh.
Yeah it's a little bit annoying that some of the totems are edited very poorly. I did the exact same thing with Matt and realized you can see the Wendigo all the way back then, even though I wasn't spoiled from there
THANK YOU! Holy crap I just wanted a video explaining the visions and the differences between the totem meanings. JFC they developers didn’t make any sense when explaining them. I didn’t even realize you see your characters Death if you’re the one to pick up the death totem. Danger is worthless like come on 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you; I'm glad it was what you were looking for! Yeah the death totem bit is really hidden somewhere (I think it's in the description on the totems screen, but not the sign Sam finds that explains the totems, for some reason?) and the danger totems are so incredibly worthless. I honestly hadn't realized just how worthless until I made this video though.
@@TesseractHeartMisc yeah in the beginning there’s the sign but I didn’t understand the differences between the Loss and Death totems. Since both of them showed death I was confused on the differences as well as the fortune and guidance totems. Your video explain each of the interpretations of the visions, where to find each totem, the differences in the mechanic of each totem type and how they all come together. It was helpful and very much appreciated, I was originally having trouble because I thought the totems were supposed to tell of future events that were going to happen and inform me and secessions to get the good ending. I just looked at half of them like: “WTF was that?!” or “WTF am I supposed to do with this information?!” I wish the developers actually had more visions like the Mike frustration and Chris putting the gun down. More explicit tips to get to the good ending and not useless ones like the Chris and Ashley death, like come on I don’t want them to die! HOW DO I KEEP THEM ALIVE DEVELOPERS. I get the game was made for replay ability but I should have to restart my whole game or replay the same level 1000 times in the dark. Lastly as for the danger totems I think they were meant for immediate danger.
I think one reason get mixed up about Death Totems showing the person who found them is because of the first one. Beth finds it but it appears to show Hannah's death. But those devses are tricksy, Precious! It shows Hannah in the foreground looking dead but actually alive, and you can barely see Beth behind her actually dying.
Just finished the game and instantly searched up this vid. I was STRESSING over that Sam water wheel totem the entire game. I just couldn’t make heads or tails of it and just played it over and over. Plus it didn’t help that you see the water wheel a few times in the previous chapters but can never reach the area. I thought the vision was of Sam climbing the side of the wheel to escape or something so it was on my mind the entire game.
THANK YOU!!
i was really curious to see all the totems :)
i really appreciate your effort for making this, especially for explaining what each choice would do and also the reddit comment!
Thank you! I really appreciate the nice comment and I'm glad it was what you're looking for. ♥
11:18 That's something really cool
Yeah I thought that was so fascinating! I wonder how many other things there are like that which have been (whether entirely or just widely) missed despite all this time since the game came out.
I feel like one simple change could be made to the totems to make them more "useful:" Have each totem show both the good choice and the bad choice, so all the totems don't need to be found in pairs to be of use to first-time players. Like for example, one totem could have a quick shot of Sam flipping the switch early and causing everyone to die, and another shot of her yelling at Hannah to save Mike.
That would've been interesting! Might've been too much of a hint though; I feel like balancing the totems between useless and too helpful is a really difficult line to find.
Your proposal is interesting but I prefer the one used in the game because it makes the experience in your first game more complicated if you can't find the other pair of one of the totems. For example, I have seen many people believe that Jessica is dead although they really saved her in time but since they did not find the totem where they show the exact scene of her death, they do not know that they actually saved her, but I have seen gameplays that for finding both totems throughout the game made them think that Jessica wasn't really dead even though that was what Mike believed and said all the time in the game
11:20 as someone who doesn't use reddit, i have realized it by myself recently! Good to know that other people have also realized this
Amazing video. I was so impressed and entertained
awesome video!! straight to the point and covered everything i needed to know
Really love this video! I wasn't expecting commentary but I'm not complaining. It's very well put together and interesting ^^ !!
Thank you!
Awesome video! 👍 I liked the different things you pointed out.
This was a great video!
Thank you!
i loved this video, thank you
Each totem on the pole is a symbolic representation of one family
Nice video 👌
This was great!!
Thank you! ♥
there's an outcome where ashley doesn't let chris in the lodge instead if you decided to "shoot" ashley instead of chris himself or just do nothing.
Indeed there is, and it's quite a controversial scene.
@@TesseractHeartMisc from the game’s release to today, every time I watch a play through or game analysis there’s always multiple people, and sometimes the creator themselves, mad because Ashley begs Chris to shoot her. I’m still mad 7 years later.
@@prox-_trampoline9714 Yeah it's pretty frustrating, though at the same time I kind of like it from a character standpoint; it's really interesting to see Ashley have such a different side to her. That said I do think it would be better if her actions had depended on whether or not she'd asked for Chris to shoot her or not.
@@TesseractHeartMisc Even so when she says that he’s sacrificed himself enough for her.. she still lets him die..
@@rinn_of_the_stars7992 Yep, and the developers confirmed in an interview that this wasn't an oversight (as in, they didn't forget to make her only act this way only if he pointed the gun at her first.) I would've preferred if it mattered if she asked him to shoot her or not just from a gameplay and paying attention to the characters' dialogue perspective, but from a character standpoint I think it's really interesting that she clearly didn't actually mean it when she asked him to let her choose to save him.
This videos low views do not make sense for its amazing quality. Great watch
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Mike is my favorite, followed by Chris & Ashley. Sam is also great and Matt is really underrated! The only character that I don’t care much for is Emily, but even she had her moments
What I really needed was a totem that just said “git gud”. That would have been more useful lol
Lol I would love a git gud totem, though I feel like the Josh danger totem that tells you practically nothing you can do anything about really is the equivalent of that.
@@TesseractHeartMisc you know what? You're right haha.
So almost every totem is useless or its so twisted you understand once it has happened ;-;
5:50 so does that mean that canonically Jess dies? If they consider it the best scenario they also consider Jess’ death inevitable
Just finished my first play through, found about half of them, used one to not shoot Chris or Ashley, but didn’t know what the waterwheel one meant so ended up killing josh
So is it better if you don't look for Hannah's diary? So the Makkappitteww, or whatever the spelling is, would kill him resulting of ending the stupid curse of the mountain.
I don’t really agree when you say that the totem where Emily gives the flare gun to Matt is useful, as you said basically no one disagrees with Emily on the plan which makes giving the flare gun to Matt useless… I would rather have Emily keep it so she can defend herself later on and Matt jumping to safety so he doesn’t get killed.
❤❤
First try disagrees with Emily and gave the gun to Matt, then saved Emily so fluked the best scenario
