Learn how to easily beat Zack in the first fight of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round's story mode and complete the bonus mission to unlock titles.

Alright, so you've booted up the game and jumped into Story Mode. The very first real challenge is Mila taking on Zack. Don't sweat this one; it's designed to be super simple, honestly the easiest fight in the whole game. If you're finding this tough, you might want to brace yourself for later, but for now, just relax and mash some buttons!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The first thing you should focus on is the Bonus Mission: Land 5 Punches. These bonus missions pop up in almost every chapter (except the cutscene ones) and are key to unlocking titles. You definitely want to complete them if you're aiming for any of the game's unlockables.
  2. 2
    To complete the bonus mission, simply hit Zack with punches five times. The easiest way to do this is by repeatedly pressing the [Triangle] button. Just keep mashing it!
  3. 3
    Once you've landed those five hits and completed the bonus mission, feel free to experiment. Try out different buttons, get a feel for the controls, and start to understand the basic mechanics of Dead or Alive 5 Last Round.
Tips
  • Seriously, don't overthink this first fight. Mashing [Triangle] is a totally valid strategy here if you're new to fighting games.
  • Remember to keep an eye out for bonus missions in every chapter. They're your ticket to unlocking all sorts of cool stuff, especially titles.
  • Once the bonus mission is done, take a moment to just play around with the controls. See what each button does and how your character moves.
