Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster: How to Kill Steven

If you’re looking for a guide on how to kill Steven in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, you’ve come to the right place. Steven Chapman is the psychopathic manager of Seon’s Food and Stuff, who’s gone mad with overprotectiveness over his store. And that’s putting it lightly.

You’ll first hear about him in the ‘Shadow of the North Plaza’ scoop, where he’s taking out his frustrations on David Bailey, whom he believes to be a shoplifter. While David was just trying to grab some food, Steven had some other plans for him. Once you meet him, he’s going to give you the same treatment unless you know how to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Let’s break down how to beat Steven in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and make sure you leave the supermarket in one piece.

How to Defeat Steven: Understanding His Attacks

Steven’s main form of attack is his shopping cart, rigged with a ton of sharp objects. He’ll charge at you with it and it’ll knock Frank over if you don’t dodge in time. If you get too close, he’ll also spin the cart, catching you off-guard if you’re not quick to react.

If you stay behind him too long, he’ll deliver a swift kick, which also serves as an opportunity for a photo op if you’re looking to snag more prestige points.

Lastly, Steven has a Shotgun, which he’ll whip out if you manage to get on top of a shelf or are far away from his cart. If you don’t dodge the blast, it’ll knock you to the ground.

Clearly, this man is jack of all trades with how he’s got an attack for just about everything.

Don’t worry though, because just like in the original Dead Rising, this fight is very manageable as long as you keep your distance and avoid his rushes. Having one of the weapons on this list will also make things a lot faster.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Tips and Strategies for Steven

There’s different ways you can go about this, but for this Dead Rising walkthrough, we recommend the sneaky melee strategy that uses the environment to protect Frank and give him an advantage with attacks.

Essentially, you need to lure Steven between the supermarket aisles. Climbing on top of the shelves is a great way to avoid his cart charges and force him to switch to his less frequent shotgun attacks.

When he stops moving or aims to shoot, drop down and quickly get behind him for a few melee hits. Don’t get greedy with your hits though, as he’ll often kick backward to get you away from him.

The great thing about this fight is you’ve got a huge advantage the whole time. Since you’re fighting Steven in a supermarket, there are tons of healing items scattered around. If you take damage, just run to the sides, grab some food, and get back into the fight.

In Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, this fight may seem tricky, but once you understand his pattern, it becomes one of the easier boss fights in the game.
