Dead Rising: Tip for defeating Larry Chiang

So after dying to this evil butcher countless times I finally started to do some research on how to best defeat him. Everyone mentions to get a shotgun, or other various weapons which completely depend on you clearing a different area - or they are not available to you. Furthermore somehow I ended up being extremely low on time for this battle - so running around collecting weapons through the mall, (especially weapons that I would have to clear a boss to actually have access too) wasn’t really an option. One other suggestion was the sledgehammer - but I did not have much luck with this weapon either.

Just when I was about to throw in the towel and restart the game with my current character status, I decided to give it another try. In the back of the room there are quite a number of racks, and I took him out pretty easily by swinging these racks at him. I simply would dodge what attacks I could, and hit him as many times with a rack before it broke, or he broke it. Then simply go grab another rack. I should also mention I went in with and used a number of jugs of orange juice - but every attempt before (with the sledgehammer and any other weapons I had access too) I was lucky to get him down to 50% life - using these racks, I died with him being at 10% the first attempt, and finishing him the second time. You might want to give this option a try.

  1. Thanks for the info, dude. I have not had much luck with this guy and, just before I kicked my Xbox to pieces, I tried to find some information on killing him. I too don’t have much time so I can’t get any more health or guns! I hope the racks will be enough.

    If I read another post about getting a gun to kill this fellow I swear I will join Al Queda!
