The Last Of Us Walkthrough Part 64 – Chapter 9: Lakeside Resort (The Steak House)

Once inside the kitchen of the steak house, you can see things are fired up, literally. Head over to the far left-hand side of the kitchen and look on the counter to the right to find a Health Kit. Now head to the far end of the building and look for a Health Kit. Grab it and head around the restaurant some. You are going to be fighting a boss here so take some time to note where the broken plates on the ground are. These can give away your position so make some note as to their location. When you have grabbed the health kits and gone around the restaurant to get an idea where everything is then head for the door out of the restaurant. As Ellie opens the door David will grab her. She fights him off and escapes into the Steak House. Look around and be sure that you have either a bottle or brick that you can throw. It will come in handy much sooner than later.

You now need to to kill David. This is a 3 stage boss fight so be ready for some work to survive it.

Boss Battle: David
This battle takes place with a mighty need for Ellie to stab David 3 times to bring him down enough that Ellie has a chance to kill him.

From where Ellie starts, watch what David does. If he starts toward the side of the booths that Ellie is on, move away from him to the right. If he head for the opposite side, then go around the corner of the booth and wait. There are some broken plates on the opposite side of the area. Step on these to lure David over there. Use that to sneak up behind him and get the first stab on him. A quick cutscene runs and David will pull out his Machete.

Time to get the second hit in. Run away to the next set of booths and Listen for David. Stay close to the front of the restaurant as you just need to break light of sight. Watch where he is going. If you are behind the second row of booths from the front then you can easily circle until you get a good chance to stab him. Once again, after that, run away.

If you can still see David, then watch him carefully. If not, use Listen Mode to get a fix on his position. If you cannot immediately do that, lob a bottle or brick and he will react to it and move toward it some. This third round is where he is hardest to deal with and find. He does like to hide in the kitchen to start and move around in a couch from there. You need to get in close and stab him from behind to deal with him and end this battle. It can take a few tries so expect this part to be long. Once you get him, Ellie gets a good stab in but he also gets a final blow in on her. They are both knocked out for now. The changes and you are back to Joel who is just arriving in town.
