You can also leave the zone for a little bit. You can handle Snowflake after Ted is dead, so make sure that you take care of Ted first to save yourself the trouble. If you don’t hurt her, that means she needs to eat three steaks (and seriously…you better pray to the gaming gods if you hurt her, so throw the steaks carefully). You need to get her health all the way up to 100%. Taming Snowflake isn’t actually that hard…conceptually. That said, why would you kill Snowflake? You should go for the “Skill to Survive” achievement and tame Snowflake. You can also climb up onto the raised portions of Snowflake’s habitat. Look for the ones with a flat board/platform on top of them. If you can’t get a shot at the tiger from here, you can climb onto a few rows of slots machines. Jump into it and grab the Zombrex (if you haven’t been up here before) and the LMG. Climb the center statue in the Yucatan, the really big one, and look out into the dish reaching out. You don’t stand much of a chance against her in melee combat, but that just means you have to use guns. In truth, Snowflake isn’t going to be that hard to kill. You can mix the beers together to make painkillers or just drink a few. If you get hurt, you can run into the German bar near the habitat and jump behind the bar (Snowflake can’t come into this room, so it’s a safe area).

Just smack him a few times and finish him off. He doesn’t really have much of a counterattack, especially if you hit him at the start of the fight before he grabs his weapon. I just smacked him with a Defiler (axe+sledgehammer) repeatedly. He also has a handgun that he’ll use if you fall back too far. Ted will try to run over and grab a fireaxe for the fight and he will use it normally if you let him get to it. When you walk into the Yucatan, just set a survivor waypoint in a corner (I picked the little pond by the entrance from the Palisades Mall) and leave them there. Snowflake doesn’t seem to care that much about survivors and the Yucatan isn’t really a death trap. One decent time to do it is right after you do the “Welcome to the Family” quest and pick up Kenneth and Jack at Shank’s. Regardless of availability issues, note that this also technically spawns two survivors on the map, which messes up the spawning of other survivor missions (Dead Rising 2 only allows eight survivors to be on the map at one point). Note that the timing on this is a little rough, especially since I’ve heard some have trouble getting it after Case 2 starts. Just going into it through any entrance should trigger the cutscene. You will find them by going into the Yucatan casino. Ted and Snowflake are unmarked psychopaths that can only be found during the first day.
