GOAL	Collect the 8 items, the generator, and 10 queens for Isabela.

Isabela tells Frank that he is infected and will start to become a zombie soon. Isabela comes up with an idea to slow down the zombification process. All she needs are a few specific items and queens. There are only 24 hours left before the zombification process is complete. In order to slow the process Frank needs to gather eight items for Isabela and bring them back to her at Carlito's hideout. Refer to the map and plot a course through the mall, starting with the closest item, the first aid kit.

Introduction

Isabela saves Frank

Frank despairs
	On the rooftop, a zombie approaches Frank from his side. A bullet hits the zombie. Isabela: Frank!! Isabela shoots the surrounding zombies on her way over to Frank. Isabela: Frank! What's the matter with you? Frank! Frank turns his head as Isabela approaches him, then falls on his side.

Isabela suggests a cure

Frank is infected

Frank wakes up on a rug in Carlito's hideout. Isabela kneels down. Isabela: You're awake. Oh, thank god... It wasn't easy getting you back here by myself, you know. You collapsed on the roof. Frank: I collapsed? No... I... Wait... Does that mean... Isabela: You... You must have gotten yourself infected somehow. Isabela: The time between infection and zombification differs greatly from person to person... You're lucky, Frank. You seem to have a very high level of resistance. Frank: So, uh... So what you're sayin' is that I spend longer for the inevitable to happen. Is that it? You know, I'm not sure "lucky" is the word I'd use. The helicopter crashed... No one's coming to help us now... It's over for us, no matter what we do. Isabela walks away, then stands still as if she has suddenly remembered something. Isabela: What if... What if there was some way to impede the infection? If we could extract and administer a large dose of hormones from the corpus allatum of an adult queen... It would potentially hinder the growth of the larvae in your blood, retarding the zombification process. Frank: Hang on a sec! I don't understand a word you just said. What do we suppose to do? Isabela: I'll need certain supplies to get this to work. And Queens... as many as you can get your hands on. Isabela helps Frank up. Frank: Alright. Sounds like a plan. Sure beats sittin' around here waiting to die.

"It wasn't easy getting you back here by myself, you know."

"What if there was some way to impede the infection?"

"The time between infection and zombification differs greatly from person to person."

Walkthrough

Stocking up

After leaving Carlito's hideout, stock up with weapons first before heading out.

N126, the empty store with the entrance to Carlito's hideout, has a lead pipe.

Across from N126, the empty store with the secondary entrance to the hideout has a 2" x 4".

Travel to the Huntin' Shack and stock up on shotguns and sniper rifles for the special forces drones.

It is important to point out that the special forces soldiers are especially difficult to kill with firearms.

Special Forces drone introduction

Further information: Special Forces Drone

As Frank leaves to collect the eight items, a cutscene begins. The special forces have equipped small remote-controlled drones to patrol the halls of the Willamette Parkview Mall to search for any sign of life. If one spots Frank, it will shoot him with its attached machine gun as well as sound an alarm to alert the special forces. As Frank collects these items in the mall, it is best if Frank tries to avoid them and try to remain unseen. They are very tough and congregate in large numbers when Frank is spotted. If Frank has special forces on his tail, don't fight them out in the open. Instead, draw them into a tight space and mow them down as they bunch up. The Disembowel skill (/ + / and the same time) is particularly powerful and can instantly kill them; it is more effective than all but the most powerful melee weapons.

Maintenance hallway

Take the long hallway inside of N124 to the right in order to bypass North Plaza's main walkway.

Stop at the edge of the wall when Frank reaches the end and watch the special forces soldier inside the room beyond. Run in as soon as his back is turned and hit him with the strongest melee weapon Frank has.

Collecting items

Avoiding the helicopter

TIP

Avoid activating the helicopter crash scene. As soon as Overtime begins, a helicopter will have crashed into the clock tower in Leisure Park. Avoid going near the clock tower and the wreckage around it, as it will launch a cutscene. After the cutscene, a UH-60 Blackhawk will appear and attack Frank and will remain in the park until Frank and Isabela escape. The helicopter can be avoided by never activating this cutscene until Isabela needs a generator.

The order in which the game lists these 8 items is questionable. It has Frank moving all around the mall, jumping back and forth, and it doesn't seem to be in any order whatsoever.

First aid kit

Further information: First Aid Kit (Dead Rising)

Frank starts overtime in the North Plaza, which means he can obtain the first aid kit in the Seon's Food & Stuff pharmacy first. Unfortunately, there are ten special forces soldiers in the grocery store. The best option here is to move quickly through the store without engaging in combat. Simply run past the soldiers, swerving from side to side in an attempt to avoid their gunfire. Frank should run to the double doors at the back of the store, he can grab a few bottles of wine from the "King of Wine" section on the way. Enter the pharmacy and grab the first aid kit from the shelf.

Magnifying glass

Further information: Magnifying Glass

The closest item on the list next is the magnifying glass, which can be found inside Wonder Jewels (W104) in Wonderland Plaza.

Set a guide arrow and take the Maintenance Tunnel exit inside the hallway leading to the Pharmacy instead of exiting the supermarket into North Plaza. There is a running delivery truck inside the tunnel. Quickly drive to the Wonderland Plaza maintenance tunnel entrance (marked as a flashing star on the map). Wonder Jewels is right next to the maintenance tunnel door. There is one special forces soldier in Wonder Jewels.

Cold spray

Further information: Cold Spray

Run across the hall to the Wonderland Plaza restroom. Once in the ladies' room, use the secret hatch to enter Paradise Plaza.

After saving your game in the Paradise Plaza restroom, the cold spray at SporTrance is the closest item.

Ascend the nearby stairs to the second floor of SporTrance. There is one special forces soldier in this store, with several more close by.

The cold spray is near the front of the store.

Blender

Further information: Dead Rising Recipes#Overtime Mode

Colombian Roastmasters is directly across the hall. Pick up the blender and don't forget to stock up on orange juice here.

The rotating blender disappears when Frank picks it up, but when Frank leaves and returns the normal blender is back.

Developing solution

Further information: Developing Solution

Hop over the railing of Colombian Roastmasters. Pick up the katana, then drop down to the first level. Run the short distance to Cam's Camera. The developing solution is found behind the counter.

Unless Frank draws them out, there are two special forces soldiers on either side of this store, one in Josh's Jewels and one in Shoekin's.

Book to help find queens
TIP	Across the hall is Contemporary Reading, which has the book Weekly Photo Magazine. This book will allow Frank to see green prestige point markers over the heads of zombies which host queens, making it easier for Frank to spot those infested zombies. This book and nectar can help Frank collect the 10 queens required.

Coffee filters

Further information: Coffee Filters

The Warehouse door is just next to Cam's Camera. The warehouse hallway is a great spot to take out many of the ten special forces soldiers. The coffee filters are found in the room with all of the monitors. Make sure to use the green couch save point.

Camp stove

Further information: Camp Stove

The entrance plaza door in the security room is now unlocked. Robsaka Digital is right next to the Security Room door, and it has a soldier inside. Walk down the stair to the first level. The camp stove is in Sports High.

Perfume bottle

Further information: Perfume Bottle

Run to the other side of Entrance Plaza, at the top of the stairs is Estelle's Fine-lady Cosmetics and Frank's last item he needs to collect. Pick up the perfume bottle, then return to Isabela in Carlito's hideout. On the way, stop by Colombian Roastmasters on the way to make some nectar.

Nectar for collecting queens
TIP	Before returning to Isabela with Frank's eight items, make some nectar in a blender by mixing two orange juices, which will help Frank collect the ten queens required.

Isabela develops the suppressant

Frank brings the items to Isabela

Frank paces as Isabela sets up her equipment. Frank: So... this... drug that stops the parasite growth... Have you ever made it before? Or is it just a theory? Isabela: When I was working in the medical lab, my brother asked me to research a method of suppressing the parasite. Of course, back then, we didn't extract the hormones directly. We synthesized them in the lab. Frank: So, he was looking to protect himself from his own terrorist scheme. He wanted a way out, is that it? Isabela: I don't know... I know he didn't bring the drug with him here. I have no idea what he'd intended to use it for. You think I'm just making excuses, but Carlito kept things from me. Frank kneels beside Isabela. Frank: Even if this, uh... Even if you do manage to make this drug, it will not completely cure me. Will it? Isabela: I'm afraid not... Isabela: When the effect wears off, the parasite will develop as it normally would, continuing the zombification process. Frank: Fat lotta good that does me... Isabela turns to look at Frank. Frank: Well... It's the only hope I've got now.

Carlito's zombie time bombs

For the full image of the map of the United States and he list of 50 orphans, see Carlito's Orphans.

Isabela needs queens

Isabela stands in front of the equipment. Isabela: This is all I need as far as supplies are concerned. Now all we need are some queens. Frank: Yeah, uh... Listen... Just how long do you suppose your drug will prevent me from turning into a walking corpse? Isabela: During my research, I was never able to conduct proper clinical studies. Isabela: To a certain extent, the period of effectiveness depends on each patient's physiology. It could be a year... Maybe only a week... There's no way to tell for sure. Frank: Fantastic! So, I'll be a walking zombie time bomb. Isabela: A time bomb? Frank: What? Isabela sits down at the laptop. Isabela: Once the drug's development was complete, Carlito poured his energy into starting an NPO dedicated to helping war orphans. We had 50 doses of the drug prepared. Not long after that... The NPO managed to find homes for a large group of children. Want to guess just how many? Isabela shows Frank 50 names of people spread across the United States. Frank: Oh my god... Are you saying he infected these kids and then gave them your drug? That he made 50 little ticking time bombs? Isabela: I don't know... I just don't know! It is possible, though... Frank: Look at this... New York City... DC... LA... These kids are spread all over the country! If your theory is right... The entire country could be crawling with zombies by now! I don't know what's worse - that we don't know for sure or that we cannot warn anyone about this! Isabela: Well, what we need to do right now is prepare the hormone and get you taken care of.

Generator

Further information: Generator

Isabela needs a generator
	Isabela: Oh, no. The generator's broken down. I cannot work without power. There has to be a backup generator somewhere. Carlito was using the clock tower for storage. Maybe he left one there. Are you up to it, Frank? You need to check the clock tower. I cannot work without power.

Clocktower tunnel

If Frank avoided the clock tower crash as recommended, this cutscene should start when Frank picks up the generator.

Helicopter crash creates a passage

Frank carefully walks through the wreckage of the helicopter and notices a hole in the clock tower where a helicopter crashed. In the hole is a zombie horde as far as the eye can see. Frank kicks a zombie in the face as it reaches for him. Frank: Dammit! Even if this thing leads out of here, I doubt these zombies will just let us walk right through. Frank kicks back another zombie out of anger as it reaches for him.

Finding and delivering the generator

The generator can be found on the opposite side of the base of the clock tower, facing away from North Plaza. Grab it and quickly return to Carlito's hideout.

Returning the generator
	Isabela: Thank god you found a spare! Now I can get back to work. If all goes as planned, I should have just about all the equipment I need now... Bring me some adult queens and I can get started.

Collecting all queens
TIP	Anytime a queen is seen, stop and extract it. Frank is going to need a total of ten queens, and getting a head start goes a long way to getting this particular part of the mission done quickly.

Collecting ten queens

To finalize the suppressant, Isabela is going to need ten queens. Frank can give the queens he has already collected to Isabela immediately.

The first thing that Frank will notice when leaving Carlito's hideout is the zombies have conveniently returned.

The best place to collect queens is down in the maintenance tunnels. Run to the maintenance tunnels door in Seon's Food & Stuff. There is a delivery truck right at the entrance.

Drive slowly through the zombie horde, stopping near a zombie host. Keep an accurate count of how many Frank has given Isabela and how many are still needed.

Prestige point markers and switching weapons

TIP

If Frank has the Weekly Photo Magazine to spot queens, remember that the green prestige point markers also represent humorous photo opportunities. Zombies pushing shopping carts and flammable propane tanks, as well as ones that fall over, also have green prestige point markers. As a visual backup, look for the zombies infected with queens to be waving their hands over their heads. Also, make sure to switch back to a weapon every time Frank collects a queen. If Frank doesn't, the next time Frank attacks a zombie, he may mistakenly throw down a queen, losing it in the process.

When Frank has collected the prerequisite ten queens, return to Carlito's hideout and give them to Isabela. Once she has the last one, she is able to create the suppressant and inject Frank. She also informs Frank that she has created a pheromone that can repel the zombies, although she is not sure if and how long it will work.

Preparation for the caves
TIP	Once Frank gives Isabela the tenth queen, they will leave immediately for the caves. So if you want to grab some food and items before, do it before giving Frank the last queen.

Giving Isabela the ten queens

First queen One's not enough... I need at least 10. I cannot extract enough of the hormone otherwise. Second queen I'm afraid this still is not enough... Bring me some more queens. Third queen I'll need more. I'm sorry, Frank. I know it's dangerous out there, but you have to go back. Fourth queen I finally managed to extract a bit of the hormone I need. Now, it's just a matter of getting enough of it together. Fifth queen It'll take another five queens to give me enough of the hormone I'm after. Sixth queen This is going pretty smoothly now, Frank. Keep up the good work. Seventh queen I don't have the time now - but with the proper research - I should be able to make a sort of anti-zombie vaccine. There's hope if we can make it out of here. Eighth queen Just a little more, Frank. Soon, we'll have all the hormone we need! I need you to bring back a few more queens. Ninth queen It will not be long now... Just one more ought to do it! Go find one last specimen for me, Frank. Tenth queen The game proceeds to a cutscene where Isabela injects Frank.

The first Zombrex

Isabela gives Frank the suppressant

Isabela prepares a syringe for Frank. Frank: You're gonna inject me with that, huh? Ok, doc... Let's get this over with. Isabela injects Frank with the drug. Frank: At least I will not have to worry about turning into one of them for a while... Ok! Next on the agenda: Figure out a way to get the hell outta here. Isabela: While I was isolating the hormone... I managed to identify a pheromone that suppresses the attack instinct in adult parasites. Frank shakes his head. Isabela: In other words, the zombies don't like the way it smells. If you give me a little more time, I should be able to produce some of this pheromone. Frank: They think it smells bad? You think we could use something like that to keep them away from us? We could just walk right past them and get out of here! Isabela: In theory, yes... Either way, it's certainly better than nothing. Frank: There was a cave... Outside where the helicopter crashed. It was packed with zombies - I mean shoulder to shoulder. But it may lead somewhere outside. If it works... Your anti-zombie perfume... It could keep us safe in that cave. Whaddya say? You ready to get the hell outta here? Isabela: There will not be enough of this pheromone to waste it on experiments... We'll only have enough to use it once. Frank: Whatever you say.
