================================================================== Zombie Revenge - End Bosses Strategy Guide (Ver 0.5) by R-Jay ================================================================== Ver 0.5 - Created on 18 November 1999. This is basically a re-write of a previous update written by me and included in Brian Lui's Zombie Revenge FAQ (Ver 1.0 at www.gamefaqs.com). It was originally intended to be my final contribution for his FAQ. However his FAQ hasn't been updated and I've received no reply from him. Therefore I've decided to release this update as a separate guide. THIS FAQ MAY BE DISTRIBUTED FREELY AS LONG AS IT REMAINS INTACT. IT MUST NOT BE USED FOR PROFIT-MAKING PURPOSES. PLEASE REPORT ANY VIOLATIONS. If you have any suggestions for improving this guide then e-mail me at rjay63@hotmail.com. -------- CONTENTS -------- 1. BOSS: ZED 1.1 Description 1.2 Strategy 2.

BOSS: ZED ============= 1.1 DESCRIPTION ------------------- BLOCKABLE ATTACKS: Swoop, Flaming Hand UNBLOCKABLE ATTACKS: Giant Swoop, Gun, Laser Beam, Energy Shield Zed possesses the power of flight and can teleport around the screen. His incredible speed make the handgun, roll and dash-attack your only effective arsenal. To defeat him you must every opportunity to inflict damage. You will also need to know how to deal with each of his attacks. Therefore good timing is essential. Zed's gun fires 3 shots and has the full range of the screen. His Laser Beam is very hard to avoid and nearly always causes damage. The Blue Energy Shield stops your bullets and will knock down when he's close. The Flaming Hand is normally used as a follow-up attack after teleporting. His Giant Swoop takes him off-screen to smash you from a great distance. However his most effective attack is the Normal Swoop, coming from all directions and inflicting high damage. Oh, and don't worry.....you can't fall off the screen!! 1.2 STRATEGY ---------------- At the start of battle he likes to use his gun. When he points and tries to shoot, dash-attack before he gets the chance, then quickly dash away. To deal with the Laser Beam (he will rise into the air and omit a buzzing sound), stand beneath him. Wait until the laser is fired, then dash and weave away from it . Never run in a straight line, you'll get caught. Stay away from the edge of the screen to avoid being trapped. I cannot guarantee that the laser will never connect but you can minimise the damage. The build up for the Normal Swoop is when he flies up and darts down. Face him, then roll (block if you don't have time). Performing it correctly gives you a clean hit. To counter the Giant Swoop face the direction he flies off in before the camera angle changes. Then as he's about to make contact, roll!! Time it VERY carefully!! The Energy Shield is mainly used to repel your bullets after you've shot him a few times. Occasionally he will use it to break your guard. If he flies after you at a moderate speed wait until he's near, then dash. At a safe distance turn around and use aimed shots. Usually, after taking a direct hit, he stops. Blast him with aimed shots before he recovers. When his lifebar is nearly empty, he may keep teleporting and performing either the Normal Swoop or the Flaming Hand. Roll carefully and shoot when you have the chance to break these attacks. Don't bother blocking, he will just teleport again and hit you in the back. Bullets will drop from him as his life decreases. A life-up will also appear when his life bar is about 30% However if he is flying off the edge of the platform the bullets and the life will fall down into the black. ===================================== 2. END BOSS: GOD OF DESTRUCTION (GOD) ===================================== 2.1 DESCRIPTION ------------------- BLOCKABLE ATTACKS: Swoop, Laser Shots, Flaming Hand UNBLOCKABLE ATTACKS: Giant Swoop, Laser Rain, Laser Beam (For SPECIAL CARD ATTACKS see below) If you've ever run out of time on this game you'll instantly recognise the God Of Destruction. GOD is basically Zed in a different form. He has the addition of the Laser Rain, Laser Bullets and Card Attacks which replace the handgun. To defeat him you should use the same attack methods as you used with Zed e.g. aimed shots, dash-attack and roll. He will release bullets as his lifebar decreases. 2.2 STRATEGY ---------------- When he is about to fire his laser rain (the start-up is when he draws his arms and legs together) shoot him with gun shots until all the rain has been fired. He will then teleport. Run to the other side of the platform, turn around and block the laser shot follow-up. If done correctly the rain will miss completely and you will take little or no damage. Wondering what Zed's section on Edward Street was about? Once you have GOD's life-bar at 60% the action stops and he obtains an extra power depending on the card you chose. Listed below is a description and a strategy for his Special Card Attacks. The start-up for these moves is when he covers his face with his arms. Fire (Red Card) =============== This card gives him the ability to shower you with unblockable fireballs. You can easily run away as long as he isn't too close. He may do this move repetitively so keep moving!! Electricity (Yellow Card) ========================= He will form a powerful ball of electricity in his chest and fly around the screen after you. If it connects say goodbye to a huge chunk of life. It's blockable but even then it still causes damage. When you see the start-up run to the opposite side of the screen and block to avoid the full impact. After the stomach ball has disappeared, run away to avoid the small unblockable ball that circles him for a short while after. Resurrection (Blue Card) ======================== He takes time out and flies off-screen bringing out 3 normal Laser Robots to deal with you. After you have killed them take care to avoid any sneak attack when he comes back on. ================================================================= 3.
