Emily's scream can be heard from outside, alerting Mike (regardless if Emily survives or not). If Emily survived in the mines, she will run back to the lodge to alert the others of the threat. The player then takes control of Chris as he, along with Ashley and Sam, asks about Emily's and Matt's well-being. He can be confused or concerned about what happened. Later, Mike will run into the lodge upon hearing Emily’s scream, and can reassure Emily or, if Emily’s scream was echoed from her death in the mines, ask the group if everything’s alright.
Soon after someone can be heard banging on the door, and Mike and Chris will investigate it cautiously. Chris can either let Mike handle the pistol or demand to have the pistol himself. Mike can hand it over to him or refuse if Chris hit Josh with the wooden beam in the shed. The Stranger will push through the door and disarm whoever has the gun. He will then note the group is in danger and inform them about the Wendigos on the mountain.
After remembering Josh is in the shed, Mike notifies that he ran out and left Josh when he heard screaming. Chris decides to go back for him with the accompaniment of the Stranger. Everyone else proceeds to take shelter in the basement. Ashley will follow Chris and the Stranger to close the door behind them.
- If Chris didn't shoot her, she will kiss him and tell him to return safely.
- If he tried to shoot her before, she won't say a word to Chris.
While walking to the shed, the Stranger will tell Chris vital information about how to handle the Wendigos: how they don't like fire, how shotguns will only slow them down, how they only hunt at night, and how they can't see you if you're not moving.
They will arrive at the shed only to see a broken stool with no Josh in sight. Chris insists to continue finding Josh, but the Stranger advises to return back to the lodge and to safety, due to the Wendigo nearby. While heading back, the Stranger will stop and tell Chris to not move. No matter if you pass the Don't Move segment or not, a Wendigo will spring out and swiftly decapitate the Stranger with its nails.
Horrified, Chris then will run back to the lodge, turning back every few seconds to shoot the Wendigo that is pursuing him. If he fails to be quick enough, he will be decapitated.
If he manages to successfully pass each Quick Time Event, he will reach the lodge entrance, and depending on whether he chose to shoot Ashley or himself (or no one at all), will be let back inside and will still be alive, or she'll leave him locked out (original game) or reach the door too late (remake) as the Wendigo impales him through the neck with its fingers, and tears off his head.
