Until Dawn: All Totems and Where to Find Them

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating through haunted mines and creepy lakes, I can certainly help you find those elusive totems in Until Dawn!


In the game “Until Dawn,” collectibles known as Totems serve as warnings for potential consequences when certain decisions are made. With over 30 possible character deaths, these warnings can be very useful in guiding your next move. Originally, there were five distinct types of Totems to discover; however, the Remake introduced a new type – Hunger – which provides a unique type of foresight.

Every time a character grabs a Totem, they’ll encounter a vision that hints at a character’s potential demise or a decision they should make based on the type of Totem discovered. The color of the Totem signifies the nature of the vision – varying from a possible way a character might die to the choice they should make when faced with it. There are 36 in total, and while some can be easily found, others will require exploration of hidden paths within Until Dawn.
