How to find the Lovers – Dead Rising

The Lovers are at the back of Run Like The Wind. / Capcom

You can find the pair of survivors known as Lovers in the Run Like The Wind athletics shop on the second floor of Wonderland Plaza. Head inside the shop, turn left, and head to the back to find the Lovers in the corner.

You’ll find Tonya and Ross. Ross is heavily injured, and Tonya is panicking. Your decision here will determine whether they follow Frank or die.

How to make the Lovers follow you – Dead Rising

You must carry Ross / Capcom

Ross is in a bad way, and he’s willing to give up now, while Tonya isn’t willing to give up on anyone.

You will need to talk to both survivors. Ross will eventually request a gun to defend himself – if you give him a gun, he will shoot himself, leaving a distraught Tonya to refuse to follow you. This will doom both survivors.

Instead, only speak with Tonya after Ross requests a gun. Frank will say that he won’t let Ross die, at which point he will convince Ross to follow you to the Security Room. You can give Tonya a weapon, but as Ross is injured, you will have to carry him to the Security Room. You can use the bathroom shortcut on the lower level of Wonderland Plaza to make the trip back faster.
