Dead Rising 2 Guide › Walkthrough › Terror is Reality

Give Katey Zombrex

Between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM, enter the Safe House’s security room and give Katey her Zombrex shot to prevent the world’s cutest zombie from emerging.

In all seriousness, if you don’t give Katey the shot during this brief window of time, you won’t be able to enjoy the game’s true ending.

Giving Katey Zombrex completes your first Case File task. You’re now able to view the entire Case File from the pause menu, helping you keep tabs on upcoming events.(Stacey will regularly remind you about active cases as well.)

You’re given the option to save your game after you clear a case; go ahead and do so now that you’ve given Katey her Zombrex for the day.

Note

If you happen to fail a Case File task, you can always go back and load a previous save to try again.

However, in Dead Rising 2, you also have the unique option to restart the game at any point while maintaining all of the PP you’ve accumulated for Chuck thus far. If the going gets rough, consider restarting with a leveled-up Chuck—there’s absolutely no reason not to.

It’s entirely possible to beat the game on your first play through if you’re careful about amassing plenty of PP, but restarting certainly makes things easier.
