Find all Until Dawn Fortune Totems. Learn their locations, visions, and what they mean for character survival and story outcomes.
FORTUNE TOTEM #1
Found in: Abandoned mine by Mike
Chapter: 2 - Jealousy/Darkness
Location: After nearly getting run over by a mine cart, Mike and Jessica will reach a fork in the path. Go right to find this totem at a dead end.
Vision: Jessica regains consciousness, alone and injured, but alive.
What it means: In Chapter 4, Jessica gets dragged away by a creature. Mike must chase after her. If he takes the quick paths and succeeds at most of the QTEs (Quick Time Events), she will survive and be playable in Chapter 10.
FORTUNE TOTEM #2
Found in: Sanatorium by Mike
Chapter: 5 - Dread/Prey
Location: In the Sanatorium grounds, to the left of the fountain (opposite the building itself). On the floor by the large gates.
Vision: Matt is on the outside of a heavy metal door - a creature shrieks on the other side of the door.
What it means: If Matt survives the radio tower incident, he will be playable in Chapter 10. If he is on his own, he can survive being attacked if he keeps running and bolts a door shut behind him.
FORTUNE TOTEM #3
Found in: Mountain by Matt
Chapter: 5 - Dread/Prey
Location: After going around the mountain on a wooden platform, follow Emily to the right and find this at the base of a tree.
Vision: Ashley lets Chris into the lodge as a creature screeches behind him.
What it means: If Chris chooses NOT to shoot Ashley during the "gun trap", she will be indebted to him and save his life in Chapter 8 by letting him into the lodge.
FORTUNE TOTEM #4
Found in: Mine by Emily
Chapter: 8 - Revelation/Animus
Location: After dropping down a ledge, follow the tunnel along until you see a wooden structure on the right. On the floor inside it, you will find a totem.
Vision: Mike refrains from shooting somebody.
What it means: In Chapter 8, if Emily is bitten, there will be a dilemma in which the teens try to decide whether the bites are infectious or not. You will have the choice to shoot her; this vision shows that the correct thing to do is NOT shoot Emily.
FORTUNE TOTEM #5
Found in: Mine by Sam
Chapter: 10 - Repentance/Resolution
Location: Before dropping into the water in the mines, look to the right to find this totem on the floor.
Vision: The lodge is completely aflame; however, Mike steps out of the trees, relatively unharmed.
What it means: This one is simple - it just shows that Mike can escape the final confrontation at the lodge.
FORTUNE TOTEM #6
Found in: Mine by Josh
Chapter: 10 - Repentance/Resolution
Location: When you gain control of Josh after Sam and Mike find him, stick to the left side of the cavern and you'll find a little area where this totem is lying on the ground.
Vision: A Wendigo approaches Sam, getting dangerously close; however, in the background, Mike is right near the exit.
What it means: In the final confrontation, Sam should stay still and "hide" as often as possible in order for everyone to survive.
