Walkthrough[]
Jed
- Jed's Attack methods
Jed Wright can attack Chuck in four different ways.
| Boomstick lift and three shots | |
|---|---|
| Boomstick stab | |
| Blowtorch | |
| Boomstick Shotgun |
Jed will often fire his shotgun from a distance, so be prepared to run at him in a zigzag pattern to avoid his shots or get behind a stack of cars to avoid the shotgun blast. Jed will eventually charge Chuck and try to poke him with the pitchfork. Jed will either try to hit Chuck with his pitchfork or try to perform one of two grabs. He will either stab Chuck and hold him up in the air with the pitchfork shortly before shooting him with the shotgun or he will stun Chuck then blast his face with fire from his torch.[1]
- Firearms
Jed is fairly easy if Chuck brought a shotgun to this battle. Wait for Jed to run toward Chuck then aim and back up the entire time he runs and fire at him.
Chuck can also use the assault rifle. Jed will try to poke Chuck with the pitchfork, but he should miss if Chuck keeps backing up. The only hard part about doing this is accidentally backing into a wall.[1]
Jed can also be led toward propane tanks in the junkyard. Once he stands near one, shoot the propane tank with a firearm and he will take damage from the explosion. This can be helpful if he is right next to the propane tank. Acetylene tanks can be shot as well to make him damage from their explosions, but their resulting explosion is usually unpredictable.[1]

Reward[]
|
|
|
Defeating Jed gives Chuck 10,000 prestige points and the Boomstick combo card.
Once Jed is defeated, the boomstick weapon will be left behind. The boomstick is an easy way to level up Chuck by gaining quick prestige points by using the heavy attack to stab and lift zombies into the air and for 2,500 prestige points per kill.
The boomstick will respawn where Jed dropped it each time that Chuck exits and then reenters the gas station junkyard.[1]

Trivia[]
- Reviews:
- "Pyschopaths, however, have not changed one bit. These survivors were one of the most frustrating parts of the first Dead Rising game, as there was really no difference between killing a psycho and killing a zombie except that the psychos are faster, usually have ranged weapons and apparently have a greater resistance to pain than something which cannot feel pain. They were annoying before and that hasn't changed, as evidenced by the sole psychopath encounter in Case Zero. There is no joy in fighting the game's boss whatsoever, just frustration, annoyance and misery."[2]
- "Psychopaths haven't changed much, situational bosses with massive energy bars still require full shotgun clips fired into them to die."[3]
- "There actually isn't a lot of music to be had in Case Zero, so the ambiance and sound effects really carry the load here, but as players get to the end, the psychopath fight and escape sequences really pump out suitable music to get players going."[4]
- "[Case Zero] also features a psychopath boss fight that I found particularly entertaining, mostly because the character you're required to fight with is extremely well-designed, and while the fight itself is kind of hokey and awkward, it's still one of the better moments of the prequel."[5]
