How to Defeat the Butcher Boss in "Dead Rising"

There are thirteen different psychopath bosses you will have to face during the course of the XBOX 360 survival horror game Dead Rising. The final boss fight occurs in a meat-processing facility with an insane butcher who is trying to use people to make hamburger. The fight is difficult because it is timed, but if you pay attention to the butcher's attack patterns, you can take him down fairly quickly.

Things You'll Need

• Dead Rising XBOX 360 game

Instructions

1. 

   Play through the game until the evening of the third day of your main character's stay in the mall. Leave the security room where the save point is located and go into the area called Paradise Plaza.

2. 

   Walk halfway up the set of stairs on the east side of the plaza and then turn to the right and jump onto the blue awning on the side. Run down to the end of the awning and grab the small machine gun.

3. 

   Jump off the awning and then go down the hallway that leads towards the bathrooms. Open the door at the end and go down into the maintenance tunnel. Get inside the car parked by the door and drive north and then east until you see a set of double doors in the wall. Go through the doors to enter the butcher's shop.

4. 

   Watch the cut-scene, where the butcher ties up the man named Carlito and hangs him over the meat grinder. Run over to the far side of the room and wait for the butcher to start throwing knives at you. Use the hanging slabs of beef as cover and then lean over and fire the machine gun at him.

5. 

   Turn around and run away when the butcher chases after you. Jump to the side just as he is about to hit you and strike him with a melee weapon such as a lead bar or a katana. Dodge quickly to the side after striking him so that he can't grab you and slam you onto the meat hooks. Go back to the other side of the room and again use the beef slabs as cover so you can fire on him. Repeat the process three more times to defeat the butcher.

Tips & Warnings

• The bottles of milk lying on the steel counters can be consumed to recover four points of health if you are hit by one of the butcher's attacks.

• You must defeat the butcher boss in less than ten minutes or Carlito will be killed by the meat grinder and you will have to load the game from your last save point. The butcher may occasionally stop throwing knives at you and instead throw an entire slab of beef. Run quickly across the room if he does this, as you can't use the other slabs of beef as cover from that attack.
