-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is the prequel to the sequel of the original Dead
Rising and is only available on Xbox Live Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points. It
doesn't exactly bridge the gap between the two games, but it does set up the
events to come in Dead Rising 2. It simply follows Chuck Greene and his
daughter, Katey's, pit stop at Still Creek after escaping the recent zombie
outbreak in Las Vegas and gives you a small taste of what everybody loved
(and hated) about the first, as well as demonstrating the new combo weapon
and item system.
Just like the first Dead Rising, you can play through multiple times with the
stats you aquired previously. You can only reach level five, but it's enough
to be very helpful in doing everything.
As a bonus to those who eventually get Dead Rising 2, all levels, PP, Combo
Cards, and clothes earned will be carried over onto their Dead Rising 2 file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[#CTRL]                           =Controls=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the most part the controls are exactly the same as they were in the first
game with the exception of a couple new additions. They are as follows.
Left Stick/Right Stick: These contol Chuck's movements and camera angles,
respectively.
D-Pad: Left brings up your watch. It allows you to see the current time and
ongoing missions/survivors. You can also set a guide arrow for a
specific mission.
Up puts away your currently held item or weapon. If you do not have
space in your inventory or the item is too large to put away, you
will drop it instead. It also zooms in when you're aiming with the
Sniper Riffle.
Down will cause you to drop your currently held item. It also zooms out
when you're already zoomed in with the Sniper Riffle.
Left/Right Bumpers: These will allow you to scroll through your item/weapon
inventory.
Left Trigger: When held, this enters you into aiming mode. It allows you to
throw your currently held item/weapon with X or Right Trigger.
If you are not holding anything you will spit instead. When
holding a gun you will be able to walk and straf around while
in aim mode. In conjunction with Y you can set a place marker
for following survivors to run to. It reverses the bike at the
end of the game.
Right Trigger: In aim mode and allows you to throw or shoot your currently held
item/weapon or spit if holding nothing. It accelorates the bike
at the end of the game.
Select: Brings up the map and shows you your current location as well as
buldings, restrooms, maintenance rooms, and the spot of an active
mission destination.
Start: Lets you view your stats, Combo Cards, case progress, survivor notebook,
help & options, tutorials, map, learderboards, achievements, and quit.
It also skips cutscenes.
X: You can eat food, read magazines, or attack with many items/weapons using
X. Some weapons even have a stong/secondary attack when you hold it down
instead. When carrying somebody X will kick. X is sometimes used to get
away from a zombie pinning you down.
B: Is used for opening doors, picking up items/weapons, talking to people and
giving them items, and using maintenance rooms, benders, and saving. B is
sometimes used to get away from a zombie pinning you down.
Y: This calls out for people and tells follwoing survivors to follow you. In
aim mode it drops a place mark for them to run for. It also skips through
dialogue. Y is sometimes used to get away from a zombie pinning you down.
A: A lets you jump. That's it. A is sometimes used to get away from a zombie
pinning you down.

[#WKTH]                          =Walkthrough=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This main walkthrough section will guide you through the game to Ending A.
Only two survivors are needed to accomplish this and at that only one of them
needs to live. However, all will be included for an optimal "master file" as
well as covered in their respective section [#6000]. For everything else,
refer to the Table of Contents above.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[#C123]                        =Case 0-1 to 0-3=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We start off with Chuck and Katey stopping at a gas station in Still Creek to
refill before moving on. While using the pump his watch alarm beeps reminding
him that it's time for his daughter's next Zombrex injection. Afterward they
enter the station to rest when suddenly his truck is stolen, along with the
medecine. Chuck gives chase, but fails to catch up before the car jacker
speeds off. This is when Katey spots a "man" coming near and Chuck recognizes
him as a zombie, then rushes Katey back inside and barricades the door. The
adventure begins.
As soon as you can control Chuck you're in Case 0-1, despite being unable to
view your case files. The first thing you should do is grab the Baseball Bat
and the Box of Nails next to the door and constuct a Spiked Bat at the nearby
maintenance table. This will give you your first Combo Card as well as one of
the best weapons in the game. Next run over to the front of the store to pick
up a bottle of Orange Juice just in case before heading through the junk yard.
There's another small building across the junk yard that has a restroom you can
save in. Do so and proceed to face the zombies outside. The goal is simple:
Reach the blockade to the east. Check your map and scroll to the right. There
will be a flashing question mark icon and that's your destination. For now,
just ignore exploring buildings and only kill zombies on the way because the
sooner you get the Zombrex, the sooner the survivors show up. Once you near
the blockade there will be another cut scene of Chuck spotting an overturned
ambulance in the Quarantine Zone. This ends Case 0-1 and it give you the
option to save.
This case is even shorter than the first. All you have to do is grab a shot of
Zombrex from the ambulance and that's it. While you're in this area you may
want to pick up an Assault Rifle either laying on the ground or from one of the
zombified soldiers wandering around.
Once you search the ambulance and find your Zombrex, you overhear the radio on
the dead soldier. Reinforcements are coming by nightfall, so now you have two
deadlines: Give Katey her Zombrex between 7:00-8:00PM and get out of Still
Creek before 9:00PM. Chuck finds a broken up motor bike that he can fix and
thus starts Case 0-3.
Case 0-3 is just as simple than the last. Grab the cart with B and with X
charge ahead back to the Gas Station. Nothing more. However this isn't a bad
opportunity to rack up some zombie kills for some PP and the Zombie Hunter and
Exterminator achievements, but there are much more effective ways to accomplish
these, so for now, just stick to the case.
Back inside Chuck is making a check list of items he needs to repair the bike.
Meanwhile Katey isn't feeling well and wants more medecine, despite fighting it
in the beginning. Chuck tells her it's still too early because a pre-emptive
dosage can be fatal. She then wonders if he can fix the bike and he assures her
that, "Daddy can fix anything."
[#CAS4]                           =Case 0-4=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the final case and the longest, spanning the entire game if you get the
first three out of the way from the start. It's a good idea to build a fresh
Spiked Bat and pick up another bottle of Orange Juice if you had to use the one
from before. Leave the Gas Station and junk yard like you did the first time
and you'll be treated to another cut scene of Chuck stepping on a Queen and
killing all the zombies around him. When it finishes, the entire game is open
to you now.
Some zombies will now have Queens on their necks, which you can catch after
killing the zombie they're on. These are great for clearing out large groups of
zombies at once. Also, now that there are no more cut scenes from leaving the
Gas Station, you can now take the roof exit. You can find that in the back room
of the front area of the Gas Station. Not only is this a quicker alternative
to leave after droping off a bike part, but there is also a Sniper Riffle that
can be very helpful later on.
Most importantly, survivors appear. Two of them are pertinent to fixing the
bike and another is very helpful to achieveing that goal and helping another
survivor. They also give large amounts of PP. So let's get going.
Probably the first thing you'll notice is a man standing on top of a van with
a mob of zombies around him. This is Dick, the owner of the Pawnshop, and
neccessary to getting Ending A. You could find a Queen to take all the zombies
out at once, but there aren't that many, so a Spiked Bat and/or an Assault
Rifle should suffice. Once they're gone, talk to him twice to get him to lead
you to the Pawnshop, then talk to him twice more when he stops to have him
open it. This is as far as he goes, there is no way to make him return to the
Gas Station with you.
Inside you'll be able to buy various items and weapons, but all of them can be
found elsewhere for free. The only things that matter are the Wheel for $5000
and the Zombrex for $25,000. He'll also sell you information regarding the
whereabouts of other Bike Parts, but that's not needed when using a guide. If
you happen to already have $30,000 from a previous game go ahead and buy the
Wheel and Zombrex, otherwise head back out.
[#WSLS]                      =Win Some Lose Some=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you'll notice a man on top of the corner building across the street
shooting zombies. This is Bob and he'll be your Otis for this game, though
nowhere near as annoying. He won't come back with you to the Gas Station Safe
House because he's looking for his daughter, so until then he'll let you know
if he sees anybody else by waving is arms and calling out to you. To even reach
him, head to the alley to the left of the building and climb up on the
dumpster. Continue up until you make it on the roof. Talk to him a few times
and right away he'll tell you about a couple who entered the bar.
Before you visit them there are a couple of things you should to do for later
that start by being on this roof. Head back past Bob's umbrella until you see
the fire escape to the bulding across the alley. Jump from the roof to it and
head inside the Still Creek Hotel. Run down the hall and take a right into the
room around the corner. In here you'll find the Key Item Shed Key. Now head
back into the hall and jump up through one of the windows back onto the
rooftops. Look left and you'll see a bridge across to another roof. Hang right
and drop down on the awning ahead and then back up on another roof at the other
end. Turn left and you'll see an opening, drop down to get inside Bob's Fish 'n
Hunt. There are some useful weapons in here like Broadswords, Shotguns, and
Assault Rifles. Unlock the door from the inside and now you can come and go as
you please.
Now trek across the street to The Dirty Drink and meet Gemini and Fausto. Talk
to Gemini a couple times and she'll join you, but Fausto will need a little
coaxing. He wants a drink, but you don't have to travel far since this is,
after all, a bar. Give him a Beer, then a second, and after the throws up he'll
agree to come with you. It shouldn't be too hard to get them back to the Gas
Station. When you do, Gemini will reward you with $15,000 from their winnings
in Vegas.
[#FBPS]                        =Find Bike Parts=
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It'll be a bit before the next survivors show up, so now's a good time to hunt
for Bike Parts. After you leave the Gas Station you'll notice Gemini standing
in the junk yard crying. Re-enter and talk to her and she'll want you to find
her Gems she dropped near the blockade. Before you do, though, make a couple
stops first. After leaving the Gas Station again, head to the pumps and find
the Gasoline Canister. This is your first Bike Part.
Now run over to Uncle Bill's Department Store and grab two cartons of Milk,
then exit through the side door and enter The Dirty Drink from behind. Use
the blender to mix the two Milks together and get a Quick Step, but don't drink
it yet. Return to the Department Store for two more cartons of Milk for another
Quick Step.
Now drink one of them and sprint to the blockade. You'll find Gemini's Gems on
the passenger side of the yellow car with the missing door. Use them as a
weapon if you want, but just make sure you have at least one left. On your way
back unlock the Locked Shed near Big Buck Hardware to find the Bike Forks.
Your first Quick Step should be wearing out or gone by now, so drink your
second one and take the Forks back to the Gas Station. They're heavy and slow
your movement when carrying them, so the Quick Step makes returning them more
tolerable.
For the Gems Gemini will give you another $15,000 and some bonus PP. After
dropping off the Bike Forks and Gasoline Canister, return to the Department
Store and Dirty Drink to make another Quick Step. This time you're going to the
Still Creek Movie Theater. In the seating area exit the Theater from the locked
door on the side. Here in this alley is the Engine, so just like the Bike Forks
drink the Quick Step and take it back to the Gas Station.
If you haven't already gotten the Zombrex and Wheel from Dick's Pawnshop, take
your newly aquired $30,000 and do that now. Afterward you will need only one
more Bike Part, but it won't turn up until later. You should have some spare
time to kill now, so just take the time to level up some if you need to. An
I.E.D with a Combo Card and the Paddlesaw are good weapons to use on the large
mob in front of the Gas Station for some fast experience. Also don't forget
about the Queens to help you reach zombie kill milestones.
And if you need the Locksmitch achievement, you can use this time to unlock
the Sheriff's Office to get it. You have until 1:00PM when the next survivors
show up.
[#TMOA]                      =The Morning After=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At 1:00PM the next group of survivors appear, but you must leave the Gas
Station in order for them to load. They will not spawn if you're wandering
around outside. Bob sees a couple girls in the Bowling Alley, but you don't
need to speak to him. Just head on over and they'll be there, saving you a
climb. These are Tia and Nikki, but there's a third girl, Sharon, that they
won't leave without. They inform you that she's still in the Quarantine Zone.
Enter the Quarantine Zone and check your map to see which tent she is in.
Talk to her a few times and she'll ask for some Zombrex. You have two now, so
give her one and she'll follow you. However, she can't walk very well, so
you'll have to carry her. Luckily, when you're carrying someone zombies can't
grab you, so just plow on through back to the Bowling Alley. With Sharon
literally in hand the other two will gladly return to the Gas Station with you.
[#HAWC]                       =Handle With Care=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At 3:00PM Jason and Archie appear behind the Department Store. Remember to
enter and exit the Gas Station to get them to spawn. It's best to take a Queen
with you to dispatch the zombies they're fighting without risk of injuring
them. You also need to take along a Broadsword that you can pick up from Bob's
Fish 'n Hunt. Jason is using a set of Handle Bars to ward of zombies, the final
Bike Part you need. He won't give it up unless you give him a Broadsword. Once
you do, the Handle Bars are yours and they'll follow you back to the Gas
Station.
You finished the bike, but you still can't leave until you give Katey her
Zombrex, so you may have some time to kill until 7:00. Go out, unlock doors,
kill zombies, and level up. Better than sitting around doing nothing.
[#GKTZ]                      =Give Katey Zombrex=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:00PM and time for Katey's Zombrex, but not just yet. First, talk to Bob to
finish rescuing the survivors. There will be a cut scene showing nightfall, so
this time you don't have to bother entering and leaving the Gas Station. You
also have to talk to Bob this time. He'll tell you he finally saw his daughter,
Darcie, in the Fish 'n Hunt and wants you to check on her. Do so, but she
won't go anywhere with you without her father. Climb back up on the roof,
fetch Bob, and take him back to the store. They hug and she'll join you back to
the Gas Station. That completes all of the survivors. Just one more thing to
tackle.
One more thing to do before giving Katey her medecine. You shouldn't have much
time left, so be quick. First, take the roof exit from the Gas Station and grab
that Sniper Rifle. Then return inside the same way and make a new Spiked Bat.
Finally, fill the rest of your inventory spaces with Orange Juice. Now give her
the Zombrex.
Another cut scene will play and here you learn that it was Katey's mother,
turned into a zombie, that bit her. Chuck defends her memory by saying it was
only sombody that looked like her when the owner of the Gas Station appears
behind him. He's enjoying the zombie outbreak a bit too much and after learning
that Katey is infected as well, wants to add her to his "collection." The
argument continues out in the junk yard where you face this game's psychopath,
Jed.
The safest method I found is staying behind cover while popping out to shoot
Jed once or twice with the Sniper Rifle. If you go for two shots, odds are you
will get hit by his Boomstick fire, but it does little damage. If you only
brought one Orange Juice you should be fine, but more is better just in case.
Just continue shooting him, ajusting your position when neccessary, and you
should be able to finish him off with the Sniper Rifle alone. If not, he
shouldn't have much health left and you can finish him off with the Spiked Bat
with ease as his two close range attacks aren't very devestating either.
[#MIAR]                      =Military Arrival=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the fight with Jed crunched under a car, it time to leave Still Creek.
First, if you have time, save just in case. Go to the bike and select it and
another scene will play with the military appearing and ordering Chuck and his
daughter to stop. Instead, you're going to race past them all. The path to
follow is spelled out for you, so just try you best not to get hung up on
corners. The Right Trigger will accelerate the bike and Left Trigger will
reverse. While you're escaping you can hit soldiers for 1000PP a pop in case
you haven't reached level 5 yet.
Make it past all the blockades and to the tunnel and you've finished the game
with Ending A. A final scene will play with Chuck coming across his stolen
truck. He takes the time to get his jacket from DR2, the rest of the Zombrex,
and a photo of Katey before riding off again. After the credits you'll have the
option to save and the file will be ready for DR2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[#COSC]                      =Combo/Scratch Cards=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two differences between Combo Cards and Scratch Cards. First, the PP
you get from Scratch Cards is not as significant as that of Combo Cards. Two,
Scratch Card combinations do not have a strong attack. You must obtain the
combo's Combo Card in order to use it. There are a total of nine combinations
to find in Case Zero.
If you have the Combo Card for a weapon, the wrench icon on your combo items
will flash when they're in close proximity to the other item needed to craft.

You can get the Combo Card at level up if you already have the
Drill Bucket and I.E.D Combo Cards from previous level ups.
Drill Bucket: Instantly kills a single zombie for 250PP. With the Combo Card
it will earn you 500PP. One can be bought in the Pawn Shop for

in Uncle Bill's Department Store, as well as scattered
around town.
Card: You can get the Scratch Card if you make one before getting
the Combo Card from leveling up.
I.E.D: Kill zombies for 50PP. With a Combo Card you will get 100PP. Strong
attack pins the I.E.D for 50PP and detonating it will kill all
surounding zombies for 300PP each.
Items: A Propane Tank and Box of Nails. Propane Tanks are found
primarily around the Gas Station. One, along with nails, can be
found in the hardware store's maintenance room.
Card: You can get the Scratch Card if you craft one before getting the

you enter and leave the Gas Station. Beer is absolutely
everywhere. Together they form a Beer Hat.

there is no Combo Card vailable in Case Zero.
Air Horn: Causes the heads of nearby zombies to explode for 250PP each.
Items: Green Spray Paint is found in the alley behind the Sheriff's
Office. Purple Spray Paint is on the Gas Station Roof. The
color doesn't matter, however. Pylons (traffic cones) are
found near the Still Creek Movie Theater and the Quarantine
Zone.
Card: Just the Scratch Card can be made by crafting your first Air
Horn. No Combo Card is available in Case Zero.
Paddlesaw: Mows down zombies for 125PP each.
Items: There is only one Paddle next to the building across from the

three shots of ammo.

Drink and more can be found in Big Buck Hardware. Jed will
also drop his Boomstick to use after you defeat him.

fighting Jed. You get the Combo Card after beating him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[#MXDK]                         =Mixed Drinks=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can mix together two of any food or drink item with the blender in Momma's
Diner or The Dirty Drink. The result is a special drink that restores health as
well as give you an added effect that lasts several seconds. There are more
than one way to make any of these drinks. Drink effects DO stack and are listed
in the bottom right corner of the screen. When an effect is about to wear off
the name begins to flash.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repulse - Chili + Onion Rings
Chili + Hot Dog
Hot Dog + Large Soda
Effect: Drinking this will make zombies completely ignore you for a several
seconds.
Quick Step - Milk + Milk
Milk + Snack
Effect: Drinking this will make you run especially fast for several seconds.
Pain Killer - Beer + Beer
Whiskey + Whiskey
Effect: Increases your defense against attacks.
Randomizer - Beer + Whiskey
Spoiled Hot Dog + Beer
Milk + Cooking Oil
Spoiled Hot Dog + Spoiled Hot Dog
Large Soda + Beer
Cooking Oil + Large Drink
Effect: Drinking this will cause you to get sick, the same effect as too many
alcoholic drinks. On the up side it leaves a few spots for zombies to
slip and fall in.
Untouchable - Snack + Large Soda
Hot Dog + Hot Dog
Ketchup + Onion Rings
Bacon + Milk
Pie + Pie
Effect: Zombies cannot grab you while under the effect of this drink.
Nectar - Orange Juice + Beer
Orange Juice + Orange Juice
Milk + Orange Juice
Orange Juice + Mustard
Effect: When a Queen is flying around, drinking a Nectar will cause it to
follow you. It lasts quite a bit longer than other mix drinks.
Spitfire - Bacon + Onion Rings
Snack + Snack
Large Soda + Large Soda
Ketchup + Mustard
Effect: When in aim mode and not holding any items, your spit will turn into a
burst of fire, igniting and killing the zombie hit by it.
Zombait - Jellybeans + Jellybeans
Jellybeans + Large Drink
Jellybeans + Hot Dog
Milk + Mustard
Effect: Lures zombies to you.
Energizer - Nectar + Spitfire
Effect: This appears to only heal Chuck. Testing in the original Dead Rising
revealed that it heals ten units of health, much more than needed in
Case Zero. The "effect" also wears off much too quickly for any actual
effect to be useful.
Considering the mix for Energizer in the original is different than
this game, any effect it may or may not have could differ as well.

[#STBD]                     =Stores and Buildings=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each building has a variety of useful items and clothes and some aren't even
open to you until you find another way in. Each building is covered in detail
in this section. Opening every locked door in town will also net you an
achievement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brocket Gas Station - Safe House
"Whether you need a fill up or a full on repair, Brockett's got you covered."
This is your main base of operations, where you bring survivors to safty, treat
your daughter, and repair the bike for your escape. Here you can craft
weapons, most noteably Spiked Bats, heal up with Snacks and Orange Juice, and
return your clothes to default with the cabinet next to the door to the junk
yard.
Across the junk yard is a smaller building with a restroom to save and the main
exit to the rest of town. You have access to the roof from the Gas Station
store front which has a couple uncommon items/weapons, Purple Spray Paint and
a Sniper Rifle, as well as another exit after a certain point in the game.
Many if the items found are constuction types such as Box of Nails, 2x4, Sledge
Hammer, and Saw Blades. You'll also find a good number of Propane Tanks.
Sheriff's Office - Services
"The next town safety meeting will be held in 3 weeks. All are welcome to
attend."
You'll find many Nightsticks and Flashlights here, but more importantly you'll
find guns. A few Handguns are here, but upstairs there is a Shotgun. Even more
numerous than guns are bottles of Whiskey. There are a few Newspapers as well,
which makes this an ideal spot to stock up if you want to craft some Molotovs.
The front door is locked, but if you go down the street past the Pawnshop, you
will find a dumpster next to the Bowling Alley that you can use to hop the
fence to the back alley. Here you can find the only other can of Spray Paint.
You can then enter from the back door and unlock it from the inside.
Still Creek Pawnshop - Pawnshop
"Owner Dick Jones is always ready to cash you out on a great deal!"
The Pawnshop can only be unlocked by rescuing and escorting Dick back. Then his
store will be open for you to buy a variety of items, most importantly a Wheel
and Zombrex. He also sells guns, a few combo weapons, and even a Moosehead. Not
on display is information. For a price he will give you hints to the
whereabouts of the Bike Forks and Engine.
Wheel - $5000         Zombrex - $25,000        Drill Bucket - $2500
Spiked Bat - $2500    Handgun - $500           Assault Riffle - $1000
Moosehead - $500      Electric Rake - $5000
Bike Part Hint 1 - $1000
Bike Part Hint 2 - $2500
Spending $100,000 over the course of all your games will unlock an achievement.
Grumpy Dog Bowling Alley - Sports
"When you're looking for wholesome family entertainment, you could do a lot
worse than bowling."
The dominant items here, of course, are Bowling Balls and Bowling Pins. Near
the kitchen area are some scattered Beers as well. Next to the door there are
three vending machines you can buy Snacks from, or break open for $100 each.
Behind the counter there are two lockers, one that gives you White Tennis Shoes
and another a Bowling Shirt.
This is also where you meet Tia and Nikki, who wait for you to find Sharon.
Big Buck Hardware - Hardware
"Let us help you with any 'fix-er-up' project. We've been doing it since 1964."
Like the Gas Station, most of the items here are construction based. Most
importantly it has Chainsaws for the Paddlesaw and Pitchforks for Boomsticks.
It also has Leaf Rakes and is nearby the only Battery in the game, so the
maintenance room next door is the quickest place to make an Electric Rake. In
fact, with a Baseball Bat and Bucket outside, plenty of Box of Nails, and a
Propane Tank in the Maintenance Room, this is by far the best place overall
for crafting many of the combo weapons.
For dress, you'll also find the Overalls in the corner next to the Power
Drills.
Still Creek Casino - Casino
"Playing cards in a small town still pays off big!"
Not many items are found here outside of Casino Chips and Playing Cards. The
main focus here is the slot machines. Play them if you want, but breaking them
gives you $300 a piece. Not to mention the ATMs that drop $500 each and the
cash laying around on the floor. There's also a Cash Register in the corner
to break open for the usual $400.
Still Creek Hotel
This is not marked on the map, but it's situated between Still Creek Casino
and Momma's Diner. The first floor can be accessed through an open window from
the front, but the best you'll find in there is an Assault Rifle and a Chef
Knife.
Upstairs is more important as the Shed Key can be found in one of the rooms and
it's the path taken to eventually reach and unlock Bob's Fish 'n Hunt. The
second floor can only be accessed from the roof where Bob resides.
In one of the rooms on the second floor you can find a Black Cowboy Hat to
wear.
Momma's Diner - Food
"The grills are greased and ready to serve up the best in homestyle cooking!"
There are a few food items here, but the main attraction is the blender. It is
here than you can mix useful drinks like the Quick Step. There is also a
restroom to save your game and a Diner Waitress outfit to wear. For some easy
experience, heat a Pan on the stove top for 1000PP.
Don't forget the slot machines for some quick cash.
Bob's Fish 'n Hunt - Hunting
"The only thing better than hauling in a 22 pounds bass is downing a 300 pound
deer! Either way we've got everything you need."
This will be one of, if not the, most visited store for weapons. You can grab
Broadswords, Bow and Arrows, Bowie Knives, Shotguns, Handguns, Assault Rifles,
and a Moosehead. One the rack next to the swords you can find a Hunting Jacket
to wear.
Refer to the Walkthrough section "Win Some Lose Some" [#WSLS] above for
directions to entering and unlocking the store.
The Dirty Drink - Drink
"Out in the country, real men drink beer and whiskey. At The Dirty Drink,
that's all we serve, and you're gonna like it."
About all you'll find here is Beer and Whiskey, but there is another blender to
be found. There are two Guitars to smash zombies with as well as a Pitchfork
next to the front door. Near that is a White Cowboy Hat to wear. Like Momma's
Diner, you can also heat a Pan for 1000PP.
The back kitchen door leads to a small alley with a side door into Uncle Bill's
Department Store.
Uncle Bill's Department Store - Convenience
"Uncle Bill has everything you need to make it through a day in Still Creek...
and maybe even a bit more."
This store has a nice selection of drink items that makes blending next door
at The Dirty Drink much faster, such as Milk, Orange Juice, and Whiskey. For
fun there are some sports items like Footballs, Lawn Darts, and Bowling Balls.
Plus Servbot Masks and Stick Ponies
It carries a fair amount of combo items like Propane Tanks, Box of Nails,
Buckets, and Leaf Rakes. In the back next to the restroom to save is a Fire
Extinguisher that can freeze zombies solid to be shattered by other means. Also
near the restroom are three slot machines to break.
Near the back door are three peices of cloting to wear. The Plaid Suit, White
Cowboy Hat, and Ladies Hat. On the front counter is the Magazine (Building)
item that is useful for extending the life of construction type items. Attached
to the side is another maintenance room.
Still Creek Movie Theater - Entertainment
"This month's special feature from the archives: O'Bold and the Midnight
Raiders."
Not much of anything is here except for some scattered food and drink items.
There is a side door that can be unlocked from the inside that leads to an
alley with the Engine you need for the bike.
There are also eight slot machines waiting to be busted open.
Ed's Friendly Barber Shop - Beautification
"From beard trims to hair cuts, let Ed hendle it the old fashioned way."
Little is found here as well. On the floor you can find some Scissors and
Shower Heads, but mainly the Magazine (Health 1) book. You can also change your
hair style to a Mohawk using any of the barber chairs.
Quarantine Zone
Like the Still Creek Hotel, this is also not marked on map by name. It has
eight tents, all of which more or less hold the same things. Usually some
Whiskey, Foot Lockers, Water Coolers, and Snacks. Around outside you can find
some zombified soldiers carrying Assault Rifles.
This is where you'll find a free dosage of Zombrex for Katey and the broken
bike, as well as Sharon in one of the tents.

[#CTHS]                           =Clothes=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clothes are a way to change your appearance in the Dead Rising games and can be
found in numorous locations. Each set of cloting is mentioned in the Stores and
Buldings section, but this section is a way to locate them a little quicker.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To return to Chuck's default appearance, select the cabinet in the Gas Station
garage.

[#SUVS]                          =Survivors=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are twelve survivors that can be logged into your notebook, including
Chuck's daughter, Katey, who is marked as safe from the start. Nine others can
be brought to safty at the Gas Station, one can only be listed as located, and
the final is a psychopath. Few have to be rescued to finish with Ending A, but
all are a good source of PP, plus rescuing survivors is part of what Dead
Rising is all about.
There are six possible states that survivors can achieve: Located, safe, dead,
lost, turned, and defected. Located means their whereabouts are known and they
are alive. Safe is when they are sucessfully escorted to the Gas Station. Dead
is self explanatory, lost is when their whereabouts are lost track of, and
turned when they have been infected by a zombie. These last three are grouped
together on the notebook screen. An unlisted status, defected, occurs when a
certain criteria has been met to cause survivors to turn on you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
001 Jed Wright
At the top of your notebook list is most likey the final survivor you'll
encounter and the only one that has to die. He appears when you give Katey her
Zombrex between 7:00-8:00PM and after finding out that Katey is infected will
want to kill her like the many other zombies around.
Notes: Manditory for the story's completion. Deafeating him earns you the
Boomstick Combo Card, as well as a Boomstick.
Notebook Descrption: Underskilled mechanic for town of Still Creek. Lifelong
hunter always looking for new trophies.
002 Archie Eaton
Archie appears at 3:00PM behind Uncle Bill's Department Store along with Jason.
Notes: None.
Notebook Description: Bailed too many times without a helmet. Found behind
Bill's Department Store.
003 Bob Blackrock
Bob appears on the corner roof top across from the Gas Station after you
successfully escort Dick to his Pawn Shop. He will remain up there until he
finds his daughter at 7:00PM. Until then he will reveal the location of other
survivor's he spots.
Notes: If he dies you will be unable to spawn and rescue his daughter, Darcie.
