When he does, his flame will go out and give you time to attack. Rush in with some quick kicks and then jump back when he starts to get up. It’s a pretty simple pattern to follow. Once he gets to half his health, a scene will play and you will get tossed inside a building. Now for this second part of the battle, it is pretty much the same thing, you can only attack when his flame goes out. When the battle starts, he will toss a fire ball and then jump at you. Jump out of the way and keep jumping since he will jump at you about three times in a row. When he lands the last time, he will let out a giant wave of flames. Get out of the way and then rush in since he will be vulnerable to attack. Kick him a few times and then jump back as he starts to get up. Simply follow that pattern for the second part of this battle and he will drop in no time.

Chapter 5:

Now that the goblin is taken care of, it’s time to complete more city events to get the next story mission. Do what you are required and then head for the next mission marker to take control of Venom.

Beetle:

Now that you are in control of Venom, it seems the Beetle is back and wants a piece of venom for research purposes. Chase Beetle through the streets, which is actually a very easy chase. Just follow the red dot on the map and don’t worry about having to climb buildings or anything. You can just stay on the street and jump to keep moving forward faster to keep up with him. Once you catch up with him, he will crash into a warehouse and attack. When the battle starts, click the R3 button to track the beetle. This comes in handy since he is always zipping around behind and above you.

He will have a few attacks that he uses such as bombs, laser swords and a cloud around him like the previous time. Use the pillars in the room as cover when he starts launching the bombs at you and then jump out when you hear the lasers being fired and start whipping him and clawing him. When he pulls out the laser swords, sit still and wait for him to come at you. Whip him before he reaches you and then continue to give him a few more. Once you get him down to about half his health, he will raise shields around the room and four pits will open in the corners. He ill then fly to one corner and use a laser beam with four beams on it and scan the room with it. Jump over it and jump to the corner he is in and quickly turn and start whipping him before you land. If you wait till you land and turn to hit him, he will already be gone to another corner.

You need to keep moving fast to nail him, but if you are quick enough, you should be able to nail him two or three times before he takes off. Be sure you keep an eye on which corner he goes to. Also you have more room in the corner than it looks like. If you fall in the pits, quickly jump out before the lasers take too much life off you. Once you have hit him enough times here, he will pop open more pits and then use his laser swords and fly around the room. Stay in the center and use the tracking to follow him. When he gets close, nail him and then nail him a few more times. Jump when he goes to use his red could and then get ready to attack him again once he comes at you. Soon enough he will be down for good.

Chapter 6:

Now that you are back in control of Spiderman, complete the city events you need to proceed to the marker at your house waaaaaaay over on the other side of the city. Feel free to do any extra city events along the way to save yourself from having to do them later.

Silver Sable:

After the scene is over, you will be loaded full of tranq’s and need to kick Sables ass. As the battle begins, she will have two merc’s with her in the car. Take them out first and then focus on Sable. Sable is one tough cookie and blocks just about everything you can throw at her. Jump kicks seems to work the best on her but after one or two she will start blocking them. Jump away and when she starts chasing you, quickly turn and land a few shots on her and jump away again quickly. She will also still be trying to load you with more darts during the battle. Once you get her down to about half health, another car will pull up with four merc’s in it this time. Quickly take them out and then continue to do battle with Sable.

Jumping and kicking is about the only attack you have here that will work so keep it up and jump away when she starts blocking. Once you take her down, another scene will play and you will need to rescue some civilians on the bridge. Watch the TAM’s because some more a lot faster than others. Run to the red car first and save the people there. Next run back along the bridge and pull the person out of the car there and quickly jump away before the car explodes. Now you will need to head down the bridge and climb up the side column to get to the beam across the top. Grab the man there and drop him down on the bridge. One more to go. Help Sable lift the car on the bridge and then another scene will play and our old pal Venom will show up again.

Venom:

Once you are back in control, you will (of course) need to chase venom through the city as he carries Silver Sable on his back. This chase mission is probably the most difficult so far. Yes, if you thought the Electro one was hard, you’re gonna hate this. It takes a lot of roof to roof jumping and many of the buildings are too far apart to make the jumps without having to swing down and around them. Venom can jump across anything it seems and he can get away from you very quickly. The only advice I really have for this chase is to always try and keep as high as you can. Venom will go to two very high buildings during the chase and if you are too low, you will fail. After the two high buildings.

Venom then starts to get lower and lower and will hop over some small building before eventually getting to the street. When he does land, he will put down Silver Sable and attack you. During the battle, he will also attack Sable however and you need to keep her alive. Lure Eddie away from the unconscious Sable and then do battle with him. Venom will only have two attacks during this fight. One will be a three hit combo and then he will roar and be open for free shots and the other is tossing cars at you. Watch your spidey sense and jump out of the way when Venom starts the three hit combo and then rush in and give him some good kicks in the chops. Jump back when he starts moving again and repeat the same pattern over and over until he finally drops and Sable is safe.
