Snowflake

Snowflake is a tiger found in Dead Rising 2, and is considered by Ted to be his only friend. Ted feeds Snowflake fresh meat when possible, claiming that all her food has become rotten in the initial cut-scene of the encounter, and thus attempts to serve Chuck to the tiger. There is an achievement, Skill to Survive, for taming Snowflake. She is number 112 in Chuck's Notebook.

Tactics
Chuck's first priority should be to take care of Ted, which is easily accomplished in most cases; If Snowflake makes this difficult, the player can exploit her inability to move through certain areas, such as the nearby restaurant, to separate the two. Once Ted is neutralized, a cut-scene will play, and Snowflake will remain for Chuck to either tame, or kill.

Defeating Snowflake
Defeating Snowflake can be difficult, but is far from impossible. Generally, quick weapons with repetitive strikes, or heavy weapons with single strikes are the best method. Her tactics are easily discernible, and because she only targets Chuck and Zombies, most of the time, survivors are not as vulnerable as in other boss battles. Her most visible attack is a lunge, which is preceded by her running away from Chuck. Dodge-rolling, or running in a sharp angle can avoid this, opening her up for attacks. Her other attack is a quick trot towards Chuck, before leaping a clawing. Be aware that if she successfully lunges upon Chuck, she will proceed to maul him for additional damage.

Taming Snowflake
To tame her, Chuck needs to obtain three pieces of steak. These can be found in the Wild West Grill House, in the Food Court; There are also isolated pieces of meat in Snowflake's habitat, and above the slot machines in Yucatan Casino. During the battle, Chuck must toss the steak on the ground, one at a time, between himself and Snowflake, just as she begins her lunge attack's running start. The best opportunity is when she runs from Chuck, and then spins toward him, indicative of her upcoming attack. After each throw, she should cancel her run, and slowly move towards the steak, before eating it. Make sure to distance yourself from her during this time, as throwing the steak at close distances can be difficult. After Snowflake eats all three steaks, a cut-scene will play, and she will join Chuck. While attempting to tame Snowflake, zombies can interrupt her eating. Try to use ranged weapons to keep them off of her while she eats her meal.
