Thanks for the help on the Snowflake issue! However, on X Box Kinect, the steaks do no good to drop them before you kill Ted. Might as well hold them until you do that. Then, the steaks must be dropped all on top of each other, or Snowflake won't eat them. Finally, she will still attack you for a little while before eating the first steak, so just try to roll away from her as she leaps at you.

Disappointed that you have your own site and youtube page with plenty of subscribers, but chose to do this walkthrough for here instead :/
