I just saw a big dude carryin' a machete in that home store... Crislip's somethin' or other... He knows where the security cameras are and he's doing a good job of stayin' outta sight. — Otis

Before heading into Crislip's Home Saloon, we recommend stocking up on guns, powerful melee weapons, and healing items because you're about to face a Psychopath. The Mini Chainsaw from the fight against Adam the Clown will work well, and it respawns by the roller coaster in Wonderland Plaza. Then, you can get Katanas from Ripper's Blades and guns from the nearby Huntin' Shack. Food items will be in Seon's Food & Stuff, as the name would suggest. When you're ready to face the Psychopath, refer to our How to Beat Cliff guide.

After beating him, you'll get the Empty Store Key from his wallet. Exit Crislip's Home Saloon and look to your right to find a set of metal doors you can now unlock, which is keeping the 3 Survivors prisoner. Speak to them and they'll all automatically join you, allowing you to escort them back to the Security Room.
