Colorado. Bypassing the national guard's barriers via helicopter, Frank finds
himself in a whole lot of trouble once he gets inside the mall. As you play
through the game, the dark and disturbing truth of the zombie outbreak becomes
all too clear. Frank encounters literally thousands of zombies, as well as a
crew of obligatory psychopaths. You'll never feel quite as safe while at the
mall again, with the knowledge that these lunatics are roaming about...

+------------------------------- General Tips -------------------------------+
- The Sledgehammer: This powerful, durable weapon can be obtained each time
you leave the security room. Instead of taking the elevator on the rooftop,
always go through the door on the left side of the area. Hop down off of the
walk way, move to the end of the shelf and then jump over to the shelf with
the sledgehammer on it. This weapon is great for cutting down a crowd of
undead. Simply hold the X button and Frank will swing the sledgehammer
around, knocking any zombies it connects with down. Make a habit of grabbing
this weapon whenever you leave the security room!
- Colombian Roastmasters: A restaurant on the second floor of the Paradise
Plaza. This restaurant has an unlimited supply of orange juice, which will
replenish your health by three squares. You can also find a katana on the
orange awning to the right of the fridge with the juice. Just jump out the
window, land on the awning and take the katana, then jump down below. Make
a habit of visiting the Colombian Roastmasters restaurant when you are in
the Paradise Plaza, if only to restore your supply of health items.
- Look out below: Though this may not happen often, if you ever find yourself
being forced to jump down from a high place, you can use the Knee Drop skill
to avoid taking damage and staggering Frank. If you jump down from a high
enough place, Frank will take some damage and stagger about, allowing
zombies below a clear shot at grabbing hold of him. While you are falling,
press X while pushing downwards on the left thumbstick.
- One man's garbage: If you ever find yourself surrounded and in desperate
need of a weapon, you might be able to find a weapon by picking up and
throwing a trashcan at a wall. When the trashcan breaks, the treasure (if
you consider a weapon treasure) will be revealed. Most often you can find
hunting knives, handguns and baseball bats. All great weapons when you need
to get out of a bind.
- Zombies? In my elevator? It's more likely than you think: When you are
making the journey back to the security room, you will unavoidably have
to ride the elevator up to the rooftop. The elevator, of course, is
absolutely packed with zombies. This can make things difficult if you
yourself or any survivors are injured. There are a couple of mannequins
just outside of the elevator. Pick one of these up, press the button to
open the elevator and give those zombies a face full of mannequin! While
the zombies are knocked down, you can press the switch to take the elevator
up to the rooftop. Any survivors with you do not need to be in the elevator,
they just need to be near it to travel up with you.
- Zombies keeping you down: When you first start Dead Rising, Frank is quite
weak. The game is much harder when you are at a very low level such as 1-
15. If you are having a lot of trouble progressing, you can get to a
certain point that you are stuck on and then when you die select "Save
Status and Quit." When you do this, you will have to restart the game, but
Frank's stats will carry over. You can get some easy points in the beginning
of the game, such as the rooftop survivors and their PP photograph.
- Save the queen: If you see a zombie standing on the spot with its hands
flailing up in the air looking like it's in agony, apparently this isn't
normal zombie behavior. Kill zombies that fit this description and a queen
will appear from them. If you catch this queen and use it, all the zombies
in your immediate vicinity will fall down dead. These are very useful items,
try to save any queens that you obtain for dire situations as well as high
zombie population zones such as Al Fresca Plaza. These work great when esco-
rting someone as well, since you can use it to clear a small path for the
survivors you're working on rescuing.
- Through the warehouse: There is a secondary route in and out of the
warehouse. Go to where you found Natalie the first time out. There is a door
to the warehouse there. You will gain access on top of one of the shelves.
This is a good way to bypass the otherwise dangerous zombie-filled
elevators. This door can also be accessed from the inside by taking the
first right out of the tunnel, clearing the HDTVs out of the way, and
climbing on top of the shelves, via the wood boxes. From there, just hop
across to the room that contains the door. Keep in mind that survivors can
not travel this path and must take the elevator. ~ Credit to HAzmaT5793
+-------------------------------- Escort Tips -------------------------------+
- Don't lead, follow: Unfortunately, the AI in Dead Rising isn't the best.
This can make things a little frustrating while you are trying to save some
survivors and they continuously get attacked by zombies. In most cases, you
can't really count on a survivor to follow you, they frequently get trapped
in the middle of large packs of zombies which they can't handle, this ultim-
ately leads to their death. Unless you backtrack and help them, but this can
waste some valuable time, especially if you are in a rush. What you can do
is use the goal command to tell the survivors where to go. To use this hold
RT and press the Y button on the location you want them to go, such as a
door leading into the next area. Now help them get to this location by foll-
owing them and attacking the zombies in their path.
- Masochist: There is an item called Zombait that you can use to attract the
zombies towards you. This way they will ignore the survivors and simply go
after you. To make Zombait, take some Pie and Snacks, find a blender and mix
the two items. You should get some Zombait, keep this to use if an escort
mission is getting hectic. Though you are likely to take some extra damage
from all of the extra attention, you should be able to survive longer than
the survivors ever could, since you can swerve rather easily between the
zombies. Basically run to the entrance of the next area, fight off all of
the zombies that are coming for you until the survivors are close, then take
off into the next area.
- Zombies ate my survivors: If you are escorting a large group of survivors,
you really need to keep an eye on them because if you are running past a
group of zombies the survivors might get surrounded and trapped in the middle
of a mob of them. Some survivors seem to be dumber than others, if you are
running past zombies and reach a relatively clear area, look back and see
one or more survivors surrounded by zombies being attacked, press and hold
the RT button and tell the survivors with you to stand on the clear spot.
Now that the survivors that made it through won't follow you, run over to
aid the helpless survivors. When you have cleared the zombies surrounding
them, they run to the spot where the other survivor(s) are waiting. This
time you can help them get to this location.
- Braindamage: Sometimes when you have several survivors with you and you are
just outside the duct that leads back to the security room, the survivors
will bump into each other, unable to take turns climbing up the ledge.
Instead of jumping up and waiting for them to follow, as soon as you reach
the rooftop via the elevator, hold RT and press the Y button near the duct.
They should get up this way without any trouble. When they are all up, climb
up yourself and go through the duct to save the survivors.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In the Beginning -                    [w00]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the opening video, you can sit through a short helicopter ride over the
town of Willamette. This is a good time to familiarize yourself with the whole
picture taking aspect of Dead Rising. While on this short on-rails sequence,
you can use Frank's camera to take pictures of the sights, taking pictures with
something interesting in the shot will earn you some points. These points that
you earn will go towards Frank's level. As Frank levels up, he gets stronger,
faster, more life, learns new moves and is able to carry more items. There are
other ways to gain some points, but we will get to that once we are actually
inside the mall. This helicopter ride is completely optional, you can press
start to skip it if you're eager to bash some zombies. I suggest that you do
sit through the ride so you can earn some valuable points by taking pictures.
The camera controls are rather simple; you use the B button to zoom in and
the A button to zoom out. While you have something interesting in the shot,
press the X button to snap the shot. Once the picture has been taken, you'll
see a short summary of the shot and you will be rewarded with the points that
you earned. There are a few shots that you can take during the helicopter ride
to receive a good amount of points. Take a few pictures of the zombies pushing
up against the school bus near the beginning once you get close enough to
receive a fair amount of points. Further, a gas station will explode. Take a
couple pictures of it and the aftermath to gain a fair amount of points for
that. Those are the only real opportunities I noticed during the flight.
A couple more PP opportunities, credit to Alec Sputnik:
1) Have to get a picture of the gas station right when it explodes. You can
get 1,000 PP for that.
2) When Frank asks the pilot to go down near the building, you see a woman
with a gun trying to fend off some zombies. If you can get a picture of
the zombie falling off the edge, you get a ton of points, and if you can
shoot really fast and get a picture of the woman and a second zombie
falling, that is worth some good PP too. Oh, and then empty your roll
on the blood splatters on the ground, because you get a fresh camera
battery automatically when you land on the mall roof.
Credit to Dapo Odujebe:
You can also get a pic of the guy on the car just as he gets pulled off... and
when he gets attacked/eaten by the zombies.
When the chopper reaches the mall, after a short conflict, Frank will jump off
onto the helipad area. Frank meets a mysterious man on the roof, before proce-
eding through the door into the next area, take a picture of this man. To
switch to your camera, hold the left trigger down and press the X button to
take pictures. When you're ready, step through the door ahead leading to the
security room. The security room will act as a safe room throughout Dead
Rising, you can save using the green bed to the left down the stairs. Go
straight and enter the door with "Janitor's Room" printed on its glass. Open
the yellow door ahead and then proceed through the door marked "Staff Only."
Follow the long hall and exit out into the entrance plaza.
There are some more people in here, working hard to strengthen a barricade to
keep out the zombie horde that's waiting outside. You're quickly told to find
some objects to help build the barricade. You can take some pictures of the
people here to earn some additional points if you are so inclined. When you
are ready, run down the area opposite of the door. Approach the pile of items
to trigger another video sequence. Lindsay, in a foolish attempt to save her
dog, pulls open the door, allowing the zombies waiting outside to enter the
mall. Great. When you regain control over Frank, grab the two baseball bats
near the assortment of objects and start cracking some zombies. Unfortunately,
there isn't anything you can do to save the people in the entrance plaza.
You will have to fight your way to the second level of the entrance plaza.
Move towards the barricade, whacking any zombies in your path, and proceed up
the stairs that lead to the second level.
The door to the security room is quickly sealed. Inside you will meet a few
of the characters. Feel free to save your game at this point, so you won't
need to play through the opening sequence again if you end up dying at some
point. When you gain control over Frank, attempt to exit through the duct in
this area. Otis will hand over a transceiver and a map. Get used to talking
to this Otis guy, he won't give you a break. He's constantly calling you on
the transceiver, sometimes at the most unideal of times. Try receiving a call
from Otis when you're running through the mall with only a stepladder as a
means of defending yourself surrounded by dozens of zombies. If something
happens to you, either you use a weapon or are struck by an enemy, Otis will
call you right back. Sorry for being rude Otis, was just busy trying to keep a
zombie from biting my head off here!
Once you've stepped through the duct, you'll find yourself on the rooftop. Hop
down to the lower level and head to your right. You will meet a man named Jeff
near the elevator, talk to him using the B button. Jeff will join you, and
you'll learn a little bit about escorting. Take Jeff all the way to the other
end of the rooftop. You'll encounter a woman named Natalie, the one Jeff is
searching for. Get your camera ready, when Jeff and Natalie are reunited they
will hug. Stand close to them and snap a picture of this event when the little
PP icon appears over them. If your shot was good enough, you can receive
10,000 points for this, earning you an achievement in the process.
Escorting is unarguably the best way to gain points so you can grow levels
quickly. Escorts will never be as easy as this one though, keep that in mind
as things sometimes get very hectic during escort missions. With Jeff and
Natalie in party, lead them back through the duct and into the security room.
Make sure that they're on the upper level, or they won't follow you through
the duct. With Jeff and Natalie safely back in the security room, go back
through the duct and take the door to the far left of the rooftop into the
warehouse area. Otis gives you a call on the transceiver, he quickly explains
the layout of the mall to you. Follow the catwalk and jump down onto the shelf
below. Move to the end of this shelf and jump across to the shelf with the
sledgehammer on it. The sledgehammer, in my experience, is a great weapon to
use. It is very powerful and durable too. Try to grab this weapon each time
you are leaving the security room, it'll serve you well. If you drop down from
this height, you should earn the Freefall achievement just like that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==============================================================================
...Backup For Brad............................................................
==============================================================================
Move to the end of the warehouse and follow the hall leading to the paradise
plaza. As you approach the door, you will encounter the DHS agent that you met
in the security room, Jessie. This is the start of Case 1. You must travel to
the food court, where you will need to help Jessie's partner, Brad. Take the
door to the Paradise Plaza. Press the left button on the directional pad to
bring out your watch, press the A button to select "Backup For Brad." With
this selected, an arrow will appear at the top of the screen, following this
area, you will be lead to the food court where the mission will take place.
I'm going to point out a couple of points of interest in the paradise plaza
before we proceed. If you head straight ahead from the door that you just
came through, you can find a set of steps to your right leading to the second
level of the paradise plaza. Climb these steps and move down the walkway.
To your left is the "Colombian Roastmasters." This is a great place to stock
up on some food supplies. Food restores your health, simply select the food
and press the X button to eat/drink it. The orange juice that you can find
here restores three squares of health, so take as many of them from the fridge
as you can. Get in the habit of visiting this area whenever you are in the
paradise plaza to stock up on supplies. You should always have some type of
food with you, you never know when you'll need to restore your health and you
don't want to be caught without some way of healing yourself in a dire situa-
tion. Just to the right of the fridge with the orange juice, you can jump out
of the window and onto the orange awning to pick up a katana. This is a great
weapon to use against the zombies, though it doesn't last very long. Hop down
off of the awning and follow the arrow, it will lead you outside to the
"Leisure Park" area.
This is a large, outdoor area that you will need to traverse to get to the
food court where Brad is in need of assistance. Luckily, since the area is
so large, it is very easy to simply run past all of the zombies here, as they
are rather spread apart at most points. Continue following the area to the
door leading into the food court. There is a large group of zombies just
outside of here, you should be able to easily cleave a path through here
with the katana you picked up earlier. Cut your way through and open the
door leading to the food court. Inside, you will see Brad in the middle of
a gun fight with the man you met on the helipad area when you first arrived
at the mall.

|                                                                          |
| Psychopaths are the bosses of Dead Rising. You'll encounter plenty of    |
| psychopaths throughout the game. Your first psychopath fight is against  |
| Carlito, the strange man that you first encountered on the rooftop area. |
| Carlito, for some reason, is attacking Brad. You need to help him repel  |
| the strange man without either of you dying. Luckily, Carlito is quite   |
| easy, this being your first psychopath battle and all. After the short   |
| video, once you regain control over Frank, you can grab some wine bottl- |
| es from the counter here, if you are low on health items. Brad has given |
| you another handgun, so you shouldn't run out of ammo while you are      |
| fighting Carlito.                                                        |
|                                                                          |
| Although it may seem like a good idea, don't climb up the boxes to get   |
| up to the area where Carlito is gunning from. Carlito's gun is very      |
| powerful, so it won't do you much good since you will be stuck in place  |
| while you are being shot at. Instead, stand behind the platform that he  |
| is on and take some shots at him with your handgun. If you can manage to |
| get some shots on his head, this'll do more damage. Carlito does move    |
| around a lot, so try to get a few shots at him as he moves between cover.|
| Once Carlito's health is lower, he will move from the platform and take  |
| cover behind the signs above the line of food stands. While he is up     |
| there, he will be throwing bombs down at you. Aim your handgun and shoot |
| at Carlito, when he throws a bomb down quickly move away from it, aim at |
| him and continue shooting.                                               |
|                                                                          |
| It's very easy to get a couple of headshots in while Carlito is throwing |
| a bomb down, just make sure that you don't stand near the bomb for too   |
| long or it will go off. If you are low on health, take cover behind      |
| something and eat/drink something to bring your health back up. Remember |
| there are some wine bottles on the bar if you need something. Once you   |
| have dealt enough damage to Carlito, he will quickly retreat.            |
|                                                                          |

...An Odd Old Man.............................................................
==============================================================================
After the short video, follow Brad through the Food Court and outside to the
Al Fresca Plaza. If you turn to your right, you can enter the Flexin gym here
and save your game via the door up against the wall straight ahead to the
right. Straight across from the gym, you can find McHardy's Hardware store.
Inside, you will find sledgehammers as well as soon chainsaws. Chainsaws cut
through zombies like a hot knife through butter, so consider grabbing one to
help you move through Al Fresca Plaza. Follow Brad to the other end of this
area and into the entrance plaza. Brad raises the gate for a short while,
allowing you to enter the entrance plaza from this way. Follow Brad through
the plaza, you will encounter an old man who has locked himself in a store.
There is nothing you can do for him at this point.
==============================================================================
...A Temporary Agreement......................................................
==============================================================================
Unfortunately you'll need to travel all the way back through the Al Fresca
Plaza, through the food court, through the Leisure Park and back into the
Paradise Plaza to reach the security room. The warehouse area is no longer
zombie free, it is now full of zombies and the elevator is too, so be ready
for that. Ride the elevator up, step through the duct and enter the security
room. Step through the yellow door here to trigger a short video. That's it
for the first case. You've now got some free time to waste until the next case
begins.
It starts at 6:00AM, so you can spend some time now going after achievements
or completing some scoop missions that you have undoubtedly received from Otis
by now. You can view the "Scoops" section of this guide for information on all
of the scoops that occur on September 19th. If you travel back to the Entrance
Plaza, you can find a man named Bill in the "In The Closet" store on the 2nd
level. Talk to him and eventually when he realizes what has happened, talk to
him again and he will follow you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Case 2 -                         [w02]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==============================================================================
...Image In The Monitor.......................................................
==============================================================================
Case 2 begins at 6:00AM on September the 20th. Get to the security room after
6:00AM to trigger a short cutscene. On the monitor, You will witness none
other than Carlito dragging Dr. Barnaby from the store he was locked inside
in the entrance plaza. I'll give you a fair warning now: If you are trying
to complete all of the scoop missions as the cases, you will have a lot more
trouble managing your time during the second day. Some of the scoops here will
conflict with your cases, depending on how fast you progress, you may need to
skip some scoops for now since cases are more important. If you want to try
and complete all the scoops, you'll need to use this walkthrough in conjunct-
ion with the Scoops section, since many of them will have to be completed
while you are on a case.
==============================================================================
...Rescue the Professor.......................................................
==============================================================================
You now have to set out with Brad to rescue the professor. Leave the security
room and take the door into the warehouse. Be sure to grab the sledgehammer
here, you'll need it. You will be fighting Carlito again in this mission, make
sure to bring plenty of health supplies and if you have killed Cletus in the
Huntin' Shack in the North Plaza, take a couple of shotguns with you. To get
to the Entrance Plaza where Dr. Barnaby is being held, thankfully the shutter
in the Paradise Plaza that was hindering your access to this area has been
lifted. All you need to do is exit the warehouse, then turn around and enter
the Entrance Plaza from this opening. Here you will witness a short video.
Before you proceed, you can grab an SMG that will help you against Carlito
in the Paradise Plaza.

| Psychopath!!                                                 - Carlito - |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--+
|                                                                          |
| There's nothing you can do for Dr. Barnaby at this point. Before you can |
| rescue the professor, you will have to defeat Carlito here. Once again,  |
| Brad is here to help you fight Carlito. When you gain control of Frank   |
| after the video, quickly locate the stairs that lead up to the second    |
| level of the Entrance Plaza and get yourself up there. Carlito has a     |
| sniper rifle this time around, so he is a lot more deadly than when you  |
| first encountered him. If you only have a handgun, it won't help you     |
| very much against Carlito this time. Melee weapons or a powerful gun     |
| such as the sniper rifle or shotgun is the way to go here. If you went   |
| into the warehouse area via the doorway, the sledgehammer on one of the  |
| shelves will help you here.                                              |
|                                                                          |
| You'll need to use the various shops in this area to your advantage. Run |
| and take cover in one of them, wait until Carlito's attention is focused |
| on Brad, then quickly run from cover and hide in another store that is   |
| closer to him. Do this until you are close enough to run out and smash   |
| him with your melee weapon. Stay hidden in the store near him, when he   |
| is aiming for Brad, run out and hit him a couple of times. Of course,    |
| Carlito won't stay in one spot, so you will have to run after him. The   |
| sniper rifle is a very powerful weapon that can take off two blocks of   |
| your health with one shot, as well as send you flying back. Though it    |
| may not do much good, try to jump around from side to side as you are    |
| chasing Carlito, just until you come to another store that you can hide  |
| in. Find a store fast, because Carlito will turn around and focus on you |
| once there is enough distance between you.                               |
|                                                                          |
| While you a hitting him with your melee weapon, only hit him two times   |
| at the most. When you are close to him, he will use his sniper rifle to  |
| hit you over the head, which deals a fair amount of damage to you. The   |
| sledgehammer should be able to cut down Carlito's health a fair bit,     |
| just use the standard X button attack to hit him over the head with it.  |
| If you have an SMG, sniper rifle, or shotgun, just use the same method,  |
| but instead pop out from cover and shoot him with the gun instead of     |
| running up to him and hitting him with the melee weapon.                 |
|                                                                          |

==============================================================================
...Medicine Run...............................................................
==============================================================================
Brad is injured and you need to run down to the market in the North Plaza to
retrieve some medicine to lower his fever. If you have completed the "Cut From
The Same Cloth" scoop mission that initiates the 19th, you can get that erotic
photo that Kent requires at this point. While Jessie is sitting down on the
bed next to Brad, back up from her and take out your camera. Zoom in and focus
on her crotch, but make sure that her breasts are in still in the shot. You
should get 700-1,000 points for this erotic photo, which can be shown to Kent
to complete the "Photo Challenge" mission. Don't worry about that for now, you
still have a good amount of time to show him the photo. You should also have
received a transmission from Otis about "Lovers" in the Wonderland Plaza.
Disregard this for now, the cases are more important. If you have enough time
after obtaining the medicine for Brad, which you should, you can complete it
on the way back.
The medicine that Brad needs can be found in the pharmacy in Seon's Market
located in the North Plaza. This isn't too out of the way, you will have to
travel through Leisure Park, which will lead you directly to the North Plaza
if you have "Medicine Run" selected and you follow the arrow associated with
this quest. Time is of the essence here, so move as quickly as you can to this
location, just run by all of the zombies. I am not entirely sure if the psych-
opath Cletus is still in the Huntin' Shack on day 2 if you didn't defeat him
on the 19th, but if you did kill him, consider stopping by the store to grab
a couple of guns. When in the North Plaza, run past all of the zombies here
and make your way to Seon's Market. Before stepping in though, stop by the
Ripper's Blades store right by here. Smash the display case, grab a couple of
katanas, then proceed into the market.
When you enter Seon's, head to the back of the store and grab as many drinks
from the fridges as you can. To get the medicine, you will need to go through
the door at the back of the store, which will lead you behind the counter
where you can find the medicine for Brad. Did you really think you would be
able to get the medicine that easily? Oh, you'll have to fight a psychopath
before you can proceed. Keep in mind that even if you have the medicine, the
timer is still going. You need to kill this guy fast enough so that you still
have enough time to bring the medicine back to Brad in the security station.
There are the lovers stuck in the Wonderland Plaza, too. But I'll get to that
after the psychopath battle. For now, attempt to open the door leading to the
medicine to trigger the battle.

| Psychopath!!                                          - Steven Chapman - |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--+
|                                                                          |
| This guy has well earned the title of psychopath. Apparently you're not  |
| allowed to shop in his store. That can't be good for business. That      |
| can't be good for anybody. As soon as you gain control of Frank after    |
| the short video sequence, you will find yourself in the path of Steven's |
| shopping cart of pointy objects. Quickly turn to your right or left and  |
| press the A button to jump up and grab onto one of the shelves of food   |
| to avoid the crazy manager. That's not all, he also has a gun. You'll    |
| probably want to drop down on the opposite side of this shelf, to avoid  |
| the blast. This psychopath battle, luckily, isn't very tough at all. For |
| one thing, you're surrounded by food. There are many aisles that you can |
| swerve into to block yourself off from Steven and his shopping cart. If  |
| you are ever low on health, just run to the fridges in the back and grab |
| some drinks as you run by. Since Steven is rushing his shopping cart     |
| around the store, you will want to use the shelves in the aisles to      |
| travel around the store. Basically jump between them, and then jump off  |
| the last section to propel yourself to a certain section of the store.   |
|                                                                          |
| As for Steven's attacks, he has his shopping cart, which he uses to      |
| chase after you in an attempt to run you down, or he will turn it        |
| sharply when you are close to him to deal some heavy damage and throw    |
| you back. If you are using a gun, your basic strategy here is to stand   |
| behind the pillars near the shelves of food in the aisles to avoid his   |
| fire, then when he stops, come out from cover and blast him a few times. |
| Guns also work rather well on the ground too, since there are many       |
| shelves for you to hide behind while he has his gun out. If you are      |
| using a melee weapon, you will have to be more cautious here. The        |
| strategy here is to run around the store through the aisles to avoid the |
| shopping cart, then run out when he stops to take out his gun and hit    |
| him with the weapon. The shotgun is not very accurate, so you can simply |
| jump from side to side to avoid the blast, then run up to him and attack |
| him. The katana or sledghammer works well here.                          |
|                                                                          |
| While using a melee weapon, you have to be careful of the cart, because  |
| when you are close to him, he will slowly attempt to turn the cart, when |
| he does he will attempt to hit you with it, if this connects it does a   |
| lot of damage. Luckily, you're surrounded by food, so health shouldn't   |
| be a problem at all. Steven should go down really easily if you are      |
| a strong melee weapon. When he is dead, be sure to take a picture of his |
| body if you are after the achievement associated with the psycopath's    |
| pictures.                                                                |
|                                                                          |

Now that Steven is out of the way, you need to get that medicine for Brad. Now
that you have the key, go through the door that you were unable to access due
to Steven's presence and run to the end of this area. Grab the medicine in the
