ZED GETS DEAD

"Yeah, I went down to one life and was like "Oh, look at me, I'm a dainty little cheerleader, I'm about to die!" Bam. Chainsaw to the face."

ZED GETS DEAD is the 7th episode of Boss Fight of the Week. It was released on November 8, 2012.

Description
Sohinki and Jovenshire take on Zed from Lollipop Chainsaw

Synopsis


Sohinki and Jovenshire fight Zed from Lollipop Chainsaw, the first boss, on the highest difficulty. Because the boss fight is single-player, Sohinki eventually takes over for Joven after the latter keeps using up respawns.

Sohinki hurts Joven's feelings when he accidentally calls him "Lasercorn" before catching himself. He explains the premise of the episode. When they start the gameplay, Jovenshire is initially skeptical of the difficulty of the game upon seeing that he controls a girl in a cheerleader's costume wielding a chainsaw, but quickly finds his health nearly depleted while fighting a small horde of zombies. In the middle of the fight, Joven accidentally summons the Nick Popper cannon rifle and, once it reverts to the chainsaw, he retreats due to his low health. With Sohinki's encouragement, Jovenshire continues forward, eventually making it to the boss fight against Zed. Unfortunately, Joven was unable to dodge the verbal insult of "VANILLA SLUT!", killing his character.

Joven uses one of his respawns and re-enters the battle, and even manages to dodge Zed's insults. Joven lands a few hits but Zed proves to be too fast for him to handle, and he dies again but uses another respawn. This same cycle repeats again, but Joven's luck seems to rise as he manages to dodge the insults and land hits more and more often. Eventually, Joven manages to finish Zed off by chainsawing the boss down the middle, but Zed simply pushes himself back together, to Joven's frustration. Jovenshire quickly dies during Phase 2 and allows Sohinki to take over.

During Phase 2, Zed has summoned a barrage of speakers and stands atop a particularly large one and hurls projectiles and insults at the player. Sohinki breaks the speakers and cuts through the one supporting Zed, allowing the clown man to drop down and Sohinki to deal the killing blow by chainsawing the boss through the midsection. Zed comments "Dammit! That actually hurt a little bit!" and heals himself back together. During Phase 3 of the boss fight, Zed speeds around the stage but Sohinki goes into what Joven dubs "f*ck sh*t up mode", and duels the undead clown boss, dodging his attacks and projectiles. Eventually, Zed is forced to scream "YEAH", the letters flying out to form a protective wall around him. Sohinki closes in and deals the final blow, chainsawing Zed in half for a final time.

Strategy Recap

 * 1) JOVEN DIES A LOT: Jovenshire gets himself killed to fool Zed into thinking less of their skills, before dropping a chainsaw to his face.
 * 2) PASS THE CONTROLLER: Pass the controller to your friend, who likely has more experience with Lollipop Chainsaw than you (as was the case with Sohinki, who took over for Joven).
 * 3) CHAINSAW + FACE = WIN: Repeatedly aim the chainsaw for Zed's face, a strategy that could potentially work for any video game boss.
