===============
GARDEN OF PEACE
===============
The first psychopath mission becomes available fairly early on in a zen
garden near Rhonda’s garage. Before going to fight this guy, it’s prudent to
do a little preparation.

For one, grab a handgun and the best melee weapon you can find. The roof of
the movie theater has a katana and an assault rifle on it, plus you can find
handguns being used by zombie cops. There’s plenty of food that respawns in
the garage for you to bring, but keep an eye out for orange juice and stuff
on the way.

If you have done the Signs of Safety side mission, which I recommend doing so
Anna can help you in the fight, then you probably have access to a broadsword
that is found near a house during that mission as well.

Going in blind is not necessarily the end of the world, however. This zen
garden features plenty to use against the first psychopath, named Zhi. There’s
an assault rifle sitting on a bench and plenty of food and drinks lining the
area. Zombies here are minimal so you barely have to worry about them, so
that comes in handy when battling Zhi.

Zhi himself is fairly formidable, but you should be able to defeat him without
ever having to upgrade your health yet. I recommend upgrading your inventory
first so that you can just go in with more healing items and weapons during
the fight.

Zhi is armed with a staff that is tipped with a blade. He also throws smoke
bombs at your feet, which can disorient you momentarily, leaving you wide open
to attack. When he’s on the ground trying to fight you with melee attacks,
meet him with melee attacks of your own. Slice and dice the hell out of him
until he retreats to one of his pillars.

He will meditate on these pillars, so shoot him with one of your guns until he
falls off. This is a good opportunity to seriously put a dent in his health.
Occasionally, you will notice a voice command pop up on the screen as well.
This voice command prompts you to say “CALM DOWN!” Doing so will make Zhi
freak out a bit and start doing weird taunting motions. Go up to him and
press B + Y together to put him in a headlock. Then mash with X or B and press
Y to finish this chain of attacks.

Defeating Zhi can yield some pretty slick rewards. The best of which is his
bladed staff, the Guan Dao. Grab that thing before continuing your zombie
slaying adventures!

===============
ALL YOU CAN EAT
===============
Nick will get the call about a lovely woman at the buffet. Go to the buffet
and you’ll see that she lives up to the hype! Darlene is the loveliest of
ladies…bleck.

Use any powerful firearms you have against her first. She zips around on her
scooter, but she is actually fairly easy to hit with melee weapons as well and
not sustain a whole lot of damage in the process, unlike with what we saw in
regards to Zhi.

Say “I’M HUNGRY” with Kinect and this will sometimes prompt Darlene to start
throwing food down her throat at the buffet. This leaves her vulnerable to a
grapple attack. Run over, press B + Y, and then mash on either X or A to
stuff food down her throat.

Shoving all this food down Darlene’s throat will cause her to vomit
profusely. The vomit won’t damage you, but you can slip on it. Vomiting so
badly does do damage to Darlene, though. Just keep at it until she dies.

=========
PLAY TIME
=========
Dylan is a sex maniac equipped with a phallic-shaped weapon that shoots ice
bombs, regular bombs, and also operates as a flamethrower. He will mainly
stay in the center of the area, so his attacks are very easily dodged. Just
stand back and wait for him to blow off the flamethrower, then rush in for a
series of attacks.

Say “WHOA KINKY” using Kinect to get Dylan excited. This leaves him open for a
grapple attack. Luckily, this time you don’t have to shove anything in
anyone’s mouths (thank god). It’s just the old fashioned button mashing attack
like you usually see.

Anyway, that’s really all there is to fighting Dylan. Compared to some of the
other psychopaths, he’s very easy to defeat. Don’t forget to free his two
victims before leaving so that you have more partners for your zombie slaying
adventures!

==================
LOOK IN THE MIRROR
==================
Jherii (man or woman? I honestly can’t tell) is working out at the gym. She/he
uses weights to attack. Say “YOU LOOK STRONG” and she will go check herself out
in the mirror, leaving her up to grapple attacks like always.

Jherii has a lot of health, but overall the same strategy that worked for
Dylan should work for her as well.

================
REMOTELY HELPFUL
================
This psycho mission actually requires that you complete a side mission first.
That side mission is for Dwayne and it is called Under Armed. You will get to
do that mission at some point in Chapter 4, but don’t worry about not being
able to do it in this chapter. The side missions don’t go away when you go
from chapter to chapter, but rather you can save them for later. However, they
do have a time limit so keep an eye on that if you aren’t doing them as soon
as they’re available.

Anyway, the key to the armory that Dwayne was trying to break into is being
held hostage by this slothful psychopath. Go to his mansion and he will send
RC helicopters armed with machineguns at you. Go to the door he’s hiding behind
and you’ll find that it is electronically locked.

At that point, various keypads stationed around the house will be marked with
red objective markers. Go to each keypad and destroy it. Destroying all five
of them will allow you access to the psychopath and the key to the armory.
You don’t even have to technically fight this one.

SINGLE WHITE MALE
=================
Kenny (from a side mission from earlier) has gone a little bit nuts with combo
weapons. He will use his combo weapon, but he’s not hard to fight overall.
Just attack him, avoid the zombies, and be sure to talk to him and his
victim afterwards to get a new group of survivors for ya.
