When you run through the hole in the wall, you will encounter your first Nick Ticket (if you are playing through the game for the first time – otherwise, you might already have plenty of these tickets in your possession.) Juliet will exclaim that she can use these tickets to activate special powers. Approach the store, grab the ticket, and go shopping if you want. When you’re done, head to the left to find a student in peril. Use the Nick Ticket and stop the roulette wheel that will appear at the top of the screen to activate a special power that will help you clear out the seven zombies crowding the survivor at the end of the hallway. If you can’t get all of them with your power, chop up the rest with your chainsaw and approach the survivor to save him.
After you save the survivor, a group of seven more zombies will crawl in from underneath the red shutter ahead. When you kill these zombies, a zombie police officer will attack you from down the hall with a gun. Dodge the shots from his pistol and jump behind him to get the jump on the zombified police officer. Chop him up with your chainsaw. This will be a named enemy so you may wish to hit him with your pom-poms in rapid succession to stun him first if possible. This will keep him from turning around and firing more shots out of the pistol at you; the pistols of the zombie cops can be quite annoying, especially when there are multiple cops present and shooting at you at the same time. For now it’s just the one, though, so deal with him and get ready to move on. Before you leave to the next area, though, remember that you can loot all of the lockers on the right side of the hallway in order to get more coins from them. Smash up all of the orange lockers to plunder them for loot and then move all the way down the hall to the green shutter blocking access to the next area of the hallway.
Hit the Y or Triangle button at the shutter to initiate another sawing minigame. This time, you will have to move the left stick to the right, then down and to the right, and finally straight down in order to chop a hole through the door and to the next checkpoint. Fin ally, mash the X or the Square button to kick the hole in. More exploding zombies will greet you. Run back through the green shutter as Juliet comments on killing the zombies before they explode. In this little area, you will find a cluster of coins and a lollipop. When you have grabbed all of the goodies from this hidden area, proceed back out through the shutter and down the hall. Just as Juliet said, you have to hit the explosive zombies and kill them before the short fuse on their explosive vests counts down and sends the hallway up in flames. Chop them up with quick chainsaw attacks; don’t even both trying to stun them with your pom-poms.
Once the exploding zombies have been cleared out, approach the gap in the right-hand wall and hit either the B or the Circle button to send Juliet jumping on through. As soon as you get over to the right side of the hallway, another school bus will come hurtling through the wall straight at you. You will have a total of six seconds to chop through the column to the left and stop the bus from hitting you. It’s a simple quick time event, so it shouldn’t be too tough. Once the bus has crashed, approach it and hit the button prompts onscreen to jump over it. Six more zombies, including those of the explosive variety, will be your entourage here. A hanging student will be screaming and begging for help above you. Save her by detonating the explosive zombies and sawing up the others before collecting your reward.
After you have dealt with the zombies crowding the girl hanging above the lockers, the upper floor of the school will go up in flames when a giant explosion rocks the building. More zombies will jump down into the hallway in front of you, so you won’t have time to worry about the cause of the explosion. Just get back to attacking the zombies. There won’t be many, and there won’t be a ny special zombie types mixed in with the group, so they should be pretty easy to kill off. Just watch out for being flanked, as there are a decent amount of them here, and dodge their attacks when possible. When you are done with them, chop up the lockers to the right side of the hall to get more coins before heading back towards the school bus.
Jump up on top of the bus and climb into the second floor. Chop up the trash cans for coins before approaching the students struggling with the shutter at the end of the hall. Just before you can get to the shutter, the students will pry it open as an explosion rocks the building again behind you. Panicked, the students will open up the shutter and run through themselves, leaving Juliet to find another way around or through to the next area.
