Final Boss Fight Guide: Easy way to beat Sullivan – Dead Rising 2
After toiling, smashing, drilling, swinging, driving and torching your way through the game, the player is presented with the challenge of taking down the man responsible for the zombie outbreak in Fortune City.
Sullivan, the bearded Fortune City security guard, who watched over the survivors in the shelter, turns out to be responsible for the outbreak (for reasons explained later on).
After returning to the ‘Safe House’ with the laptop filled with evidence and the satellite phone that holds the key to being rescued, watch the ensuing in-game clip that will explain everything, including the motives behind the outbreak. Sadly one will also
see the attractive and resourceful reporter, Vanessa Black’s death.
After the loading screen, grab the axe from just outside the security room and keep it in your inventory. Depending on which level you are, you will be able to carry more items. Exit the shelter via the duct and pick up the lead pipe and baseball bat before
the stairs.
Go to the ‘maintenance room’ to your right and place the bat and a box of nails, which should be on the cupboard to your right to make a spiked bat. Exit the maintenance room and go to the room opposite and grab another box of nails and a sledge hammer that
is further along the hallway.
Make another spiked bat and a defiler by combing the axe and the sledgehammer. While this may not be necessary, depending on what you already have in your inventory, it will make things a lot easier.
Open the door leading into the mall, this will trigger a cut-scene, after which the player is presented with two choices. Basically the need for a firearm. It is recommended that the player finds himself an LMG or a couple of Assault Rifles.
The LMG can be found on the Silver Strip on top a walkway. Look for a purple elephant stuffed doll and the LMG will be right next to it. One could visit the Pawn Shop or go underground where the ‘Last Stand’ side mission took place.
An easy way to navigate without actually moving too much is to take a left just as one exits the hallway with the maintenance room until he comes across the rest room to his left just a few yards onwards.
Enter the rest room and save the game, it’ll make things easier for later and the second to last cubicle can be used to travel to the Paladises Mall if one managed to save the store clerk in an earlier mission.
If not, proceed to the American Casino and mix a ‘Wine’ with a ‘Beer’ for quick step. Drink it and moving around will be much easier.
A useful tip, if swarmed, would be to look for zombies with the queens, as they save a lot of time when it comes to fighting the hordes of the undead.
Make sure you have at least four fire arms before you enter the elevator and at least two health items and the rest should be melee weapons.
Two things here, instead of turning right to where the elevator is walk into the restaurant and take the hand-guns from the security officers and secondly, save your game by walking past the elevator into the rest room.
As long as the player has the mentioned items, the rest should be easy. After reaching the top floor, defeat all the zombies – again look for the queen bearing zombies – and grab a ‘lobster’ from the table to the left or the kitchen to your right if the
health bar depletes.
When you open the door to face Sullivan, move to the immediate left - behind the small structure - and wait for Sullivan to launch a flare where you are standing. The next bit will hurt, but do not move as the AC130 fires an explosive round towards the flare.
Expect to take a fair amount of damage at this point, but if done correctly that will be all the damage the player will take for the remainder of the fight.
When Chuck recovers, go back to where the AC130 round hit and there should be a hole in the ground with a few crates underneath. Drop down onto the crates and aim up to where Sullivan is standing.
Use the firearms to take one or two shot bursts at him. He will not take damage when rolling so do not shoot then, wait till he stands up. Sullivan will not shoot at the player during this time.
Keep shooting till Sullivan’s health bar finishes triggering the final cut-scene.
