Dead Rising

I've just finished with the 'true ending'. My god what a game and I won't spoil it but the last fight is HARD! My guys level 39 and it took me 6 goes; hence to say the controller nearly went flying out the window.

Looking forward to to starting again and doing some of the collection achivements, clothes, food, PP stickers. Then there's the megaman achivement to go for, then 10 pyschos, 50 survivors etc. Quite a bit of fun to be had yet :) And still excited about playing.

Kronologic, I wouldn't worry about losing a few survivors if this is one of your first time's through. Unless you do a prefect run you'll struggle to rescue 50 for the Saints achievement and you'll have plenty of others to save to get the 20. Just remember where they were etc and get a picture of them for your notebook.

As long as you've opened the short-cut that is, I'd be tempted to restart if the security guard didn't make it to the toilet to open it up for you.

Basically I'm PP and achievement whorin' So I am happy for the restart. My cunning plan for the next restart is as follows.:

Skip photo bit at the beginning.

Photo all people in mall quickly.

Grab Baseball Bat -BBB

Leg it to stairs

Skip scenes

Go onto roof, ignore survivors (hopefully they wont go into that health loosing BS)

go in warehouse door, grab sledge hammer.

go into paradise mall

get Uzi katana, sports book, engineering book and nectar. Do kents photo BS

leg it across outside bit use lawnmower to clear a path to the food area.

Kill Carlos (or what ever his name is)

Leg it through the insidy outside bit grab Uzi in fountain

Leg it in to entrance plaza skip cut scenes

Return to inside outside bit, grab another Uzi (if it has respawned)

Speak to whining woman speak to idiots in hiding tool them up with Uzis Tell them to stay put

Speak to whining woman until she joins us.

Grab whining woman and put her in the gym/

save

Call idiots to main door, help clear their way, grab a few sledge hammers

Pick up whining woman leave to the food area.

Go to wonderland

Take 2 idiots and whining woman to toilets

Save

Leave them there swap Uzis for sledge hammers

Go to Japs get Jap book give them Uzis take them to toilets

Save

Go fight Krusty the Clown Use pistols to rain death on his parade grab his chainsaws and the criminal book (from the book store)

Get Security guy to show me shortcut to paradise toilets

Save

Take crowd of people to roof top killing anything that gets in my way Stand them near the ledge to get up to air duct

Reunite old people (assuming they are still there) Take photo opportunity

Send whole group to wall opposite ledge, take photo of all people

Get on ledge near air duct Send whole group (8 people) to where I am standing.

Go to security room, get loads of PP and an achievement. Save.


This will be my baseline for future games so I will also save to my memory card.


I will test this plan out tonight to see if it works and report back

Sounds good to me. However I find getting the clown with guns hard, as he hides behind his chainsaws.

Oh also pick up the one chainsaw before the saving Greg cutscene, and then it respawns again so you can have two :D

I have only done it once thus far (fought him twice and got may arse served the first time)

I grab a pistol or 2 from the police zombies. And start the fight. As soon as the cut scene ends I run away from Krusty and onto the walkway. Which was clear for the fight (if not my Katana will make sure it is). I then generally keep well away from him and wait for him to blow up a balloon. I shoot the balloon and shoot him as many times as possible before he recovers. If I run out of ammo I wait for him to come close and run past him (or if he is making himself impassable I jump off the balcony) I grab another dead cops gun and continue the fight.

I found him fairly easy to beat TBH.
 
Anyone got any advice on beating the cultist leader? I had plenty of gun ammo but he's so elusive I kept missing him. Is he simply easier to deal with with melee weapons? If so, I'll run back and pick up the sword and a baseball bat or two and go kick his ass.
 
Where is he? I have all the members around the area in the mall and movieland, I looked aruond and couldn't see him! How do I get to him?
 
I was given it as a scoop by Otis over the radio, went and found him in Movieland. He carries a big sword and is very good at avoiding weapon fire, even the shotgun. I'm half tempted to go outside and kill the convicts again just to get the huge machine gun. I'd like to see the little git avoid that :D

I found a katana to be best for him

2nd time round he didn't even touch me.

For me the sledge hammer was the answer. Get it from the top of the shelves in the warehouse or in the hardware store. Its tricky at first but get him near the seats so he can't dodge back, and do the standard swing it over your head attack. it should knock him down. When he's down. Hit him again quickly enough so he can't get up again. Repeat. Cheap but it works.
 
to kill the cultist, just run away from him, quickly turn around and sniper him (without the scope) , run away, rinse and repeat, easy :)

might need one bottle of wine, but he aint hard at all

later on otis calls you about him being there, so if you cant find him he will turn up later
 
If you manage to kill the cult leader, make sure you check the leftmost door in the very same room he's in. There's a girl in there by the name of Cheryl who's worth mucho PP later on :)

Currently playing it though a second time and I've got further then I previously had. On my first run through the game, I failed to get the medicine for brad in time. I just did that bit and got some more info about the story.

CLEAN UP REGISTER NO.6!!!!!!!!!

The Katana is in Paradice Mall, you need to go up to the second floor and jump out of the resteraunt window.

The Guard. I assume this is the guy that is stuck on the Wonderland ride. You go to the ride around the time of the first Case or before the second case and fight Krusry the Clown (or IT if you prefer) once you beat him you stop the ride and a guard gets off and runs to the toilet (possibly a bad curry last night). He shows you a shortcut to the Paradice mall.
 
Getting sick of this idiot Otis ringing me every 5secs when I've got a boss in my face. He's so irritating :mad:

Mmmm Isabella...come to daddy :p :o ;)
