- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 18 (Time: 9:58)
- Use your Spider Sense to detect the bombs when they are planted on the courthouse. Look for a blue dot on your map and a blue column of light rising up from the bomb on the wall. All you must do is touch the bomb to pick it up. Then look for the blue dot on your map, which is the bomb disposal unit. Simply swing over the disposal unit to deposit the bomb.

-
Birds of a Feather
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 19 (Time: 9:44)
- This is a Boss Battle Mission in which you must defeat the Vulture. In this battle, use your Web Strike but Vulture will usually counter your first attack as you see the shattered Web around him.
- Abort your Web Attack and quickly initiate another. Keep doing this until you catch him with a web and he doesn't counter it. You find yourself in a rhythm of attacking and aborting which is graceful and effective. Keep it up.

-
Scarring Partners
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 23 (Time: 4:24) | Part 24
- This Mission is a Boss Battle with Wolverine. Wolverine attacks you because you are wearing the Black Suit. He thinks that you're one of the Symbiotes terrorizing the city. Wolverine, like all of the Boss's, will attack you with a three hit combo. Block all three or try blocking each specific blow to trigger your Counter Attack.
- An effective way to beat Wolverine is to use your Web Strike, aborting when he counters or Over Countering his counter. But be sure to utilize your blocking with R1.
- As the battle commences you are asked a series of questions, by Wolverine, to determine if you're the real Spiderman. There is no reward for answering the questions correctly.

- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 28 (Time: 9:52)
- When you've destroyed the pods you must Defeat Venom. Continue with the same tactics you used to stop Venom until he is defeated.

You always want to keep eyes on Electro and it can be easy to lose him but if you've been working on your web swinging you'll have an easier time. For example, if Electro shoots through an alley between buildings you can quickly swing around that building without losing him and be in a better position to continue the chase.
-
Jail Break

Fat Man Sings
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 36 (Time: 10:34)

- Spidey will pull out the needle and put it in upside down thus disabling the generator.
- Swing around the building to the second generator, which is on the opposite side of the building and do the same thing. To Disable the Upper Generators do the same.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 37 (Time: 10:01)
- Now Clear the Rooftop, make your way up the building and defeat all the Symbiotes before they are able to pry open the door to Kingpin's lair.
- Tip: Defeat all the foes around the generators before you disable them. Again the Black suit is a good choice for this battle for the finishing Tendril attack on your combo.
-
Who Needs Venomies
- Your first task is to Enable the Upper Generator. You face a good amount of resistance in this task so use your wall attacks to kill as many Symbiotes as you can.
- When you've enabled the Upper Generator, quickly go down to the 1st Lower Generator. Defeat the Symbiotes and enable the Generator the same way you disabled it.
- When you get the message to defend the Upper Generator try not to waste much time getting there. This is a tougher fight than before. Use your powerful attacks. Now go back down to enable the 2nd Lower Generator.
- Tip: This is a good mission to call in some help!
-
Fully Charged
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 38 (Time: 9:32)
- Follow the Hovercraft or just stand on top of one, it's easier that way. They take you to the rooftop where you must defend it against the Electrolings.
- The Electrolings are pretty tough. Blacksuit Spidey's Tendril Choke is a good strategy here.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 40 (Time: 8:52)
- Once you know how to defeat Electrolings, you must defeat more. Defeat 15 Electrolings and Destroy 5 Electropods.
- You first must find the Electrolings and Pods but this isn't difficult. You find that they are everywhere. When you've defeated enough of both Pods and ElectrolingsGo to Black Cat.
- Once you find Black Cat you must Locate the Source of the Electroling threat. You won't be surprised to find out who is behind it.
- Tip: Electrolings like to hang out on light poles. They are black so sometimes they can be hard to spot. Use your Spider Sense to find them then try and sneak up on them from the side of a building. Snatch them with the Tendril Choke or Tendril grab. Attacking Electrolings from the wall of a building or from some cover is essential. Otherwise when they are more than two you're going to have a hard time.
-
Shock Tactics
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 41 (Time: 7:57)
- Defeat three Electrolings using your Web Strike and Over counter. Then you must destroy the Pods. Continue using your Web Strike and Over counter. If you can get close enough, without getting hit by Electroling Bolts, beat the pods to death with your square button Attacks.
- After a short while, you are faced with Electro Venom. Use the same attack tactics you use on the Electropods. When you've weakened Electro Venom enough, four more pods will appear. Go take them out, then get back to fighting Electro Venom.
- When Electro Venom is finally dead you get the Shocker Sample towards your Collect Symbiote Samples optional mission.
- Now simply Go to Black Widow, back at Stark Industries, for your next mission.
- Tip: It's hard to beat the crap out of stuff when you're getting hit with bolts of electricity. Take out the nearby Electrolings so that you'll have an easier time with the pods. Just the nearby ones! You don't want to get too wrapped up in fighting them when your main goal is to destroy the pods.
-
Airlift
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 43 (Time: 10:43)
- The beginning of this mission is timed so don't waste any time getting to your first location. When you get there you find a group of armed civilians.
- A wave of Symbiotes attack shortly. Fight them off without getting too far away from the group.
- When the Airlift arrives take a position between the civilians and the airlift and attack/defend from there.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 44 (Time: 10:00)
- When all the civilians are successfully on the craft you need to perform two more rooftop evacuations before you can move on. To do this look for the large, white stars on your map.
- The missions begin at ground level where you find the yellow circle/light. Once you're there you hear the airlift team over the radio. Get to the rooftop as fast as you can.
- Tip: It can be a lot easier to just pick up the civilians that are running to the evac hovercraft. Protecting them while they run to the ship can be difficult. When you get locked into battle with a Symbiote it can be hard to break away to help a civilian in need. Also your Spider Sense targeting has a bad habit of locking on to things you don't want to lock on to.
-
Talon Show
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 45 (Time: 9:54)
- Follow the hovercrafts to the infected rooftops. Once there you protect the SHIELD Agents on the roof by defeating the Vulturelings. Defeating Vulturelings is just like defeating Kingpin's Glider Soldiers.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 47 (Time: 10:03)
- Next you're off to Moon Knight's roof to defeat more Vulturelings. Use the same tactics and you are quickly done with this part of the mission. After leaving Moon Knight's roof you must Defeat 30 Vulturelings and 10 Vulture Pods.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 48 (Time: 10:11)
- Use your map and your Spider Sense to find them and take them out. When you're finished with that, go to the SHIELD Safe Zone.
- Tip: You'll want to disengage your Spider Sense as you travel with the hovercrafts as Vulturelings will pull you off target thus off the hovercrafts.
-
Protect and Serve
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 49 (Time: 10:46)
- This mission is pretty straight forward, just defend the safe zone. Each shield generator comes under attack by Symbiotes.
- Swing from generator to generator taking out the Symbiotes before they are able to disable the shield generators.
- As the battle rages on Spidey decides it's time to Call in Air Strike. Follow your map or just head for the mass of green tents that are off behind where you usually meet Black Widow. When you reach the proper tent you approach the hologram and call in the air strike.
- While you wait for the air strike, defeat the Berserker Symbiotes that have infiltrated the safe zone. Berserkers are the larger variety so you must use your Block/Attack scheme to efficiently take them out. Before long the air strike is executed and this mission is over. Now go Meet MJ in Harlem.
- TIP: This is a long battle with many enemies. Call in some help, somebody like Wolverine would be good here.
-
Time to Prey
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 50 (Time: 9:51)
- Ringing the bell on the church pushes back the Symbiotes giving you and Wolverine a little breathing room.
- When the church starts to get overrun, go to the roof and ring the bell. Stand about 1/4 of the roof's distance away from the bell and shoot Web balls at it repeatedly. If you have your web shots leveled up sufficiently you will go into rapid fire mode ringing the bell fast enough to push the symbiotes back quickly.
- When you're not ringing the bell you should be taking out as many Symbiotes as you can get your hands on. Defeat 20 Symbiotes and the first leg of the mission is done.
- Next, Wolverine is attacked by a Symbiote and will in turn spawn Symbiote Wolverine.

- Defeat Symbiote Wolverine. Use your Web Strike and Over Counter. Then when you are close enough on the ground, defend against the usual 3 hit combo and try to execute your counter attack. Now return to Harlem.
- Tip: It seems like you can only be red suit spidey in this mission since you'll be ringing a bell, which Symbiotes can't stand. But as long as the bell isn't ringing you're free to be Black Suit Spidey. Black Suit Spidey is a bit more effective in defeating enemies.

Get Outta Town
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 52 (Time: 8:51)
- Escort Group to 1st SHIELD Security Zone. Follow the illuminated path that the vehicles will follow. Use Web Swing Kick and Web Strikes to take out Symbiotes and keep the convoy moving until you reach the first security zone.
- As you escort the Group to the 2nd Security Zone, you must destroy 3 pods in the road. Use your Web Strike and Over Counter to handle them quickly or use the Black Suit with the Square Button combo and Tendril Whip finisher.
- Remember to keep your eyes on the damage meters for the vehicles in the convoy. You may have to go back to the school bus and knock off Symbiote hanger-ons.
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 53 (Time: 10:04)
- Escort Group to 3rd Security Zone. In this leg of the mission you actually assist the agents at the 3rd zone with getting the shield up.
- Follow the indicator on your map to the zone and assist the agents by defeating the attacking Symbiotes. When you've helped the agents, swing back to the convoy and lead them to the zone.
- Escort Group to 4th Security Zone. As with Zone 3 you assist the agents again. Swing through the alley directly in front of you to get to the zone.
- Help the agents by defeating the attacking Symbiotes and head back to the convoy to lead them to the 4th zone.
- Tip: Web Swing Kick is a good tactic for this mission, since the convoy is in motion it's good to be able to take out enemies without stopping your forward progress.
- Tip: Get in between pods that are next to each other and attack with your Square Button combo. You will inflict much damage.
-
Cat Fight
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 54 (Time: 9:17)
- When you find Symbiote Black Cat attack her on the side of a building. You inflict the more damage there. When she disappears she will reappear on the roof so head straight there when you lose sight of her.
- On the roof, Web Strike and Abort until you get clean shots at her.
- You also have to keep Mary Jane safe. Use Black Suit Spidey to take out the large numbers of Symbiotes that attack you and Mary Jane.
- Make sure to keep attacking Black Cat when Mary Jane has things under control.
- Take note of where the Symbiotes are coming from and take the fight to them before they can even get to Mary Jane. The more you take out, the easier the mission is. Catch up to Black Cat and finish her off.
- Now go to Kingpin tower.
- Tip: To keep Mary Jane safe remember that if you're too near her, you will attract Symbiotes. Keep your distance and come to her aid only when she is being overrun.

Nesting Instincts
- YouTube: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows Walkthrough Part 55 (Time: 8:47)
- You must Defeat Symbiote Vulture. Start Web Striking the Vulturelings and string the attacks together.
- When you are close enough to Symbiote Vulture, focus your attacks on him. Web Strike and Abort until you weaken him.
- You are faced with the next wave of Vulturelings.
- Battle them in the same manner until you can get close to Symbiote Vulture again. When you reach Symbiote Vulture continue your attack method with Web Strikes.
- After you weaken him some more, fighter jets will swoop in to help in the battle. Now Symbiote Vulture is in the sky by himself and surrounded by SHIELD hovercrafts. It will be more difficult to stay in the fight with Symbiote Vulture with no Vulturelings to chain to him.
- When you fall, Web Zip back up or just start Web Swinging upward until you get in range again.
- After battling Symbiote Vulture, and falling 3 or 4 times, you should defeat him with your Web Strikes.
- When Symbiote Vulture's health meter is depleted a Quick Time Event will be triggered. Follow the screen prompts to finish off Symbiote Vulture for good.
- Tip: Defeating Symbiote Vulture is a lot like beating normal Vulture. You need to use Vulturlings as stepping stones to get to Symbiote Vulture but by this time you should have this maneuver down pat.
-
Final Showdown
- Jump from the Hovercraft to the yellow column of light on the SHIELD Hovercarrier. This is the first Jamming device.
- Approach the device and press the X button rapidly. When Spidey tears open the housing press X again to destroy it.
- Now move on to the next column of light at the back of the ship and destroy both of these devices.
- Now defeat three Bomb Guards in 2 minutes. Once you have defeated them stand in front of the missile rack to get the bomb.
- Plant the bomb on top of the gun turret on the forward part of the deck. Don't waste any time fighting and make sure to disengage your spider sense.
- Once you've planted the bomb you must repeat the process at the next yellow column of light.
- Place this bomb underneath the carrier. Once this is done you face the Venom Monster.
- Swing around the Venom Monster and try to stay around the top of it but out of the range of its attacks. Use your Spider Sense targeting to lock on to an extending head. If it doesn't key in on it automatically remember you can select targets with the right analog stick.
- Look for the smaller venom head, which means that it is extended. Use your Web Strike like any other battle pressing the Square button again once you land on the head. You must punch each head 3 times in order to destroy it.
- When the heads are all destroyed you face Venom in a finale that consists of a challenging Quick Time Event.
- You will end up hitting all of the buttons at least once so be on your toes. You can finish it in one try but realistically it might take a few times to get it right.
- All that is left is to choose your ultimate path. Make sure you make the right choice, Web Head.
- Tip: This is an easy fight if you do it correctly and follow the rules. The rule is: you can only punch a venom head when it is extended. All other attempts will fail miserably. You must also time your Web Strike like a normal one even though you're triggering a pre-rendered sequence. Don't worry about fighting the Symbiotes that the monster shoots at you. You don't have to kill a single one if you don't want to but sometimes it is unavoidable.

- Airstrike Symbiotes: Get an Airstrike beacon from a dispenser located in the many safe domes throughout the city, find a group of symbiotes and place the beacon. At times the controls are funny and won't allow you to drop the beacon. If this happens go closer to where you got the beacon.
- Save Infected: A variation on the symbiote purge. Continue to beat the symbiotes after they are dead. This should release some of them from their hosts.
