How Do You Beat Sean the Cult Leader in Dead Rising 1?

Having made your way to cinema screen 4 in Colby's Movieland, you'll be greeted by Sean and a bunch of Survivors tied to chairs throughout the room. Sean is equipped with a Ceremonial Sword, and despite his age, he's pretty quick when he uses it. His sword slashes deal very heavy damage, so you absolutely must avoid them at all costs. We strongly recommend stocking up on healing items before this fight to mitigate the damage he deals.

Sean will constantly chase you around the arena, slashing with the sword in front of him and occasionally jumping into the air to deliver a downward slash. He'll also slide along the floor and kick Frank to the ground, leaving him open for more sword attacks.

To damage Sean heavily, we suggest stocking up on the Small Chainsaws dropped by Adam the Clown in Wonderland Plaza, which respawn every time you enter the area. You can kill Sean in just a few hits with one. Once he's dead, you can take his Ceremonial Sword and rescue the Survivors tied to the chairs around the arena.
