Dead Rising 2 Guide › Walkthrough › Case 1-1: Big News

Side Mission: Lost

After mixing a few juice drinks at Shots & Awe, follow your guide arrow through Americana Casino and into Platinum Strip. There you find a woman named Doris standing atop a souvenir stand, using firecrackers to lure zombies within range of her handgun.

Note

All missions, including cases and side missions, have limited time in which they can be completed. This is shown visually by the bar that runs below the mission’s name while viewing your list of messages at the map screen.

As the bar shrinks, it changes from white to yellow to red. Keep an eye on your tasks and avoid letting them expire, or you’ll miss out on valuable PP and other special extras.

Use your spiked bat to clear zombies away from the rear of the souvenir stand, then jump upon to the stand to speak with Doris. Unfortunately, she won’t leave her position of safety until her man Chad finds her. Looks like you’ll need to locate this Chad fellow.

Tip

Take a moment to examine the standee that’s right near Doris’s souvenir stand. Chuck sticks his head in the hole and makes a face, pocketing 1,000 PP for his silly behavior.

Drop down from the stand and sprint north, dodging zombies to make good time. It isn’t long before you see Chad letting loose with a shotgun a little farther up Platinum Strip—he’s right near Dining at Davey’s. Speak with Chad several times until he joins you.

Tip

Want that shotgun? Simply hand Chadany non-combo item and he’ll trade it to you.

Lead Chad back to Doris, but be ready for some serious mayhem. Doris’sfirecrackers have attracted a throng of zombies by now, and you’ve got to clear out the monsters before Doris will join you.

Avoid harming either survivor while you work at clearing away the undead. When the blood bath subsides, speak with Doris to at last gain her company.

Tip

Use the spiked bat’s heavy attack to single out zombies, reducing the odds of whacking nearby survivors. Too many hits from Chuck will cause survivors to defect and turn against our hero!

If you take heavy damage, climb onto the souvenir stand to catch your breath and consume foods. You can also give healing items to those who have joined you, which they’ll immediately consume to replenish their health.
