Until Dawn: All Clue Locations In Each Chapter

As a seasoned gamer who’s climbed many virtual mountains and uncovered countless secrets, I must say that the clues in Until Dawn are as intriguing as they are hidden!


Until Dawn abounds with mystery, and unraveling the events on Blackwood Mountain requires gathering all the game’s hidden clues. These clues are divided into three categories, allowing you to learn about the mountain’s past in 1952, the fate of the Washington twins, Hannah and Beth, and the identity of the tormentor who menaces the group of friends.

The connections between everything are crucial, and these hints will enhance your friends’ chances of making it through the night. Some can be discovered just by progressing in the narrative, but others may require additional effort to locate. As you search for clues, keep in mind that some controls allow you to rotate them for a better view. Certain hints won’t register as found unless you examine them closely.

Should you ever find yourself at a loss for a hint, simply search for a faint, small, white light glowing in the vicinity. This glow often signifies an object or feature that you can engage with.

Warning: This guide contains spoilers for Until Dawn!

Chapter 1 Clues In Until Dawn

In the initial chapter of ‘Until Dawn’, there’s just a single hint to discover, and it’s available when you’re controlling Sam. Upon reaching the cable car and encountering Chris, search for a wanted notice on the wall of the small structure nearby. As Chris leads you around the back to display a gun, this clue will be located directly on your left as you follow him. This hint is related to the ‘Mystery Man’ plotline.

Chapter 2 Clues In Until Dawn

Chapter 2 contains a total of 14 different clues.

Axe Holder Clue

Once you reach the lodge and Chris is with you, glance along the lodge wall as you follow Josh to discover a means of entry. Here, there’s an empty axe holder, serving as one of the clues left by the Mystery Man.

Newspaper Fragment Clue

Inside the lodge when Chris is all by himself, search for the two exits from the attached garage. Start with the left one initially, and upon passing through it, you’ll encounter a newspaper scrap on the shelf of that specific room.

Family Portrait Clue

After exiting the garage, look for this picture on the wall in the hallway.

Answerphone Message Clue

Upon stepping into the lodge, search for an archway positioned to the left of the kitchen entrance. Passing through this doorway will lead you to a room where you’ll discover a message on an answerphone that provides additional insight regarding the Mystery Man on the mountain in Until Dawn.

Prom Night Photo Clue

When you walk past the kitchen door, look for this photo on the table right next to it.

Mystical Symbol Clue

In the very same room containing the remaining cigar, please focus your attention on the wall behind you instead – that’s where The Mystical Symbol has been depicted.

Danger Map Clue

As an enthusiastic explorer, I’d advise you to stick to the primary trail to eventually escape the mine. However, don’t forget to cast a keen eye to your right before moving too far along, as there might just be a map-laden table waiting for curious eyes like yours!

Post Card Clue

The next clue can be found when you take control of Sam just before she gets into her bath. Once you exit the bathroom, hang left and go inside Hannah’s room. You can find the postcard on her bedside table.
