Guide to the Boiler sequence and the Pre-order Bonus Lodge segment in Until Dawn, including QTEs and collectible locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Assist Josh with the boiler by holding the flashlight steady during a DON'T MOVE QTE.
  2. 2
    Flick the switch to "ON" and hold R2 as the water pressure rises on the dial.
  3. 3
    When the light flashes orange, release R2 to let go of the switch.
  4. 4
    Press R2 to make Sam press the button.
  5. 5
    Mash the TRIANGLE button during the QTE to high-five Josh.
  6. 6
    Choose a dialogue option when Sam and Josh hear a noise: "PROTEST" (I wasn't scared.), "PRANK" (Something behind you...), "ACCUSE" (You were freaked out too!), or "PROTEST" (I totally wasn't scared!).
  7. 7
    Choose a dialogue option when Sam and Josh hear more noises: "CONCERNED" (We should check it out.) or "HEROIC" (I'll check it out.).
  8. 8
    Press the O BUTTON to pull the mattress down and trip up your assailant.
  9. 9
    Use motion controls to ram into the door.
Tips
  • Failing the initial DON'T MOVE QTE will require you to repeat it until successful.
  • Failing to high-five Josh results in a slightly awkward interaction. Succeeding increases his relationship with Sam slightly.
  • Choosing "gloat" after a prank dialogue option increases Sam's FUNNY metre but decreases Josh's like for her.
  • Choosing to "prank" him after a prank dialogue option increases Sam's FUNNY metre and her relationship with Josh doesn't change.
  • Choosing "CONCERNED" for the dialogue option decreases Sam's CHARITY and BRAVERY metres significantly, but increases her like for Josh.
  • Choosing "HEROIC" for the dialogue option increases Sam's BRAVERY but decreases her other traits (except curiosity), and increases her like for Josh.
  • There are no consequences for failing the action sequence QTEs.

Pre-order Bonus Segment:

If you pre-ordered Until Dawn, you will play a short segment with Emily and Matt. If not, skip this section.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Go around the back of the lodge, where Chris and Josh entered earlier.
  2. 2
    Locate a stubbed out cigar butt on a rock just before the box on the wall with the missing axe.
  3. 3
    Examine the cigar butt.

Collectible:

  • MYSTERY MAN CLUE #32 - CIGAR STUB
    Chapter: 2 - JEALOUSY/DARKNESS (Pre-order bonus segment)
    Found by: Matt
    Location: Around the back of the lodge, next to the missing axe clue, on a rock.
Tips
  • You can still get the trophy for collecting all Mystery Man clues even if you miss this one, provided you collect all others.
  • There are opportunities to change Matt and Emily's relationship during this segment.
