In the original Until Dawn, players had faced two grim outcomes for Josh. Either he would meet his end by having his head crushed by his sister, Hannah (who had turned into a Wendigo). Or he would succumb to hunger, eat the Stranger’s body (Flame-Thrower Guy), and become a Wendigo himself.
These horrific endings left many fans yearning for a third, more hopeful option for Josh. It’s finally possible to save Josh with the Remake; your choices define his fate.
1. How do you save Josh in the Until Dawn Remake?
To save Josh in Until Dawn Remake:
- Show remorse for Josh’s actions during key moments in the game.
- When Dr. Hill asks, “Why did you hurt them?” – respond with “They hurt me.
- When Dr. Hill criticizes Josh’s actions, select “I’m so sorry” during the next prompt.
- All these actions will lead to the ‘Josh Saved’ ending.
When Josh is revealed as the Psycho who’s been tormenting his friends, the game shifts to a scene with him hallucinating Dr. Hill, his therapist.
During an important moment, Dr. Hill asks Josh, “Why did you hurt them?” You have to respond with, “They hurt me.”
When the doctor responds by telling Josh that his actions were wrong, you must then select “I’m so sorry” during the next dialogue prompt.
These responses signal Josh’s regret and start him on the path to a more hopeful ending.
2. What is the significance of Hannah’s Diary?
Another crucial step to secure Josh’s redemption involves finding Hannah’s diary while exploring the mines with Sam and Mike. As you navigate through the water, look for a large water wheel.
Head to the left at this point and climb up a small ledge where you’ll find Hannah’s diary. This document contains critical information about her transformation into a Wendigo.
Once Sam reads the diary and shares its contents with Josh.
This new knowledge influences the outcome when Hannah grabs Josh later in the game. Instead of killing him, she recognizes and spares his life, leading to a more positive outcome.
3. What Happens to Josh at the End of the Remake?
In the original game, even if Josh were spared by his sister, he would ultimately turn into a Wendigo. However, the Remake suggests a new fate for him.
After Josh shows remorse during his therapist sessions and is spared by Hannah, the game offers a different conclusion.
The final scene hints at Josh’s survival, beginning with a flashlight shining on a door in the mines. We can assume he has survived with willpower, and the flashlights are from the search operatives.
4. Does Josh become a Wendigo?
The camera pans to reveal the hanging body of the Stranger, but instead of Josh consuming him and becoming a Wendigo, the scene ends with Josh sitting and waiting for his rescue and redemption.
Unlike the original, this new ending implies that Josh escapes the mines and is given a second chance, thanks to his remorse and Hannah’s recognition of him.
The Until Dawn Remake offers players the long-awaited opportunity to save Josh from death and become a Wendigo, providing a more satisfying and hopeful conclusion to his tragic story.
