This game is so sweet, I decided to write a FAQ on it. Just shows you what the
life of a fifteen-year-old is like. Find cool games and write a FAQ on it. This
guide will show you all there is to know about Spider-Man!
This is Perfect Light's rating on the game.
___   ___
| _ \ / __\

Spider-Man is an Action/Adventure game by genre, and it has a total of 32
levels, 8 bosses, and explosive play. The controls are easy to learn and are
easy to handle.
All characters are copyright, and TM 2000 Marvel. Developed by Neversoft,
published by Activision, all rights reserved.
OK, on to the basics, Spider-Man is the hero of this story, obviously, and the
main plot is that some Spider-Man copy made off with Dr. Otto Octavious'
technology. Now, Spider-Man must find out who. Well, here is Spidey himself's
intro to it.
"Last time I checked, I was Spider-Man.
So there I was, attending a lecture at the Science Expo given by the now-
reformed Dr. Otto Octavius (better known as Doctor Octopus). Just as Octavious
finished lecturing on his latest technological innovation, the entire auditorium
was thrown into chaos.
Somebody dressed to look like Spider-Man took out the security guards and
stole Octavius' new piece of technology. As if that wasn't bad enough, I bumped
into Eddie Brock during all the commotion. Since Brock is the human half of the
symbiotic pair known as Venom, I'm thinking his presence at the Science Expo can
only mean more trouble.
Isn't that just my luck? Octavius' technology has been stolen, and the
police and everyone else in New York think it was me that took it. But there has
to be more to this than meets the eye. Why would someone want to steal Octavius'
technology and pin the theft on Spider-Man?
Well, I know one thing for sure: New York City is only big enough for one
Spider-Man.
And that's me."
Peter Parker
New York City
Yesterday...
Well, let's get on to the Guide itself!

The following sites have my personal permission to post this:
gamefaqs.com
neoseeker.com
psxcodez.com
That's it! If I catch you with it on your site if you're not gamefaqs,
neoseeker, or psxcodez, you'll be in for serious trouble. I WILL catch you, you
WILL be sorry, and you WILL pay the consequences! There! I said it.
If you do not plan on posting this on gamefaqs.com, neoseeker.com, or
psxcodez.com, but some other whatever.com, I will write out a polite e-mail
asking you to please remove it. If you fail to do so, I will be forced to take
it to court and press carges. GameFAQs even states that suing a webiste for
posting your FAQ without permission is easy, and the owner of the FAQ can easily
win. Plagerism is already bad, so don't add to the problem. Got it? You're
smart, intelligent people, so just be smart.
Also, certain e-mails I won't accept. If you scream and shout at me, writing
something like: You (insert explicitive here), you said you can kill (insert
enemy here) in (insert #) shots and it took me (insert another #) you little
(insert various explicitives here)!!! You're not cute, not one's laughing, and
you're obviously not very mature. And I don't have anything to say to you if you
talk to me like that. However, if you have anything DECENT to contribute, feel
free to drop me a line at Jetstorm777@aol.com anytime!
If I do give you permission to put this up on your site, don't abuse the
previlage. You're not allowed to put advertising baners up, or anything else.
Just leave it as it is. You may spell-check or add things, put please please
please DO NOT take ANYTHING out, and this Disclaimer must remain intact.
You may not sell this FAQ, or in any other way shape or form make money off this
FAQ at all. I believe that part is clear. Next!
Plagerism is against the law. You know that. I know I repeat myself, but I
stress upon the fact that you leave my FAQ be and if you want to copy, go look
at a dictionary. Copying someone else's work without acknowledging he/she made
it is a crime and it will be forced, and you will pay the price if you choose to
copy.
If you see anything wrong in this FAQ, no matter how minute, e-mail me to
correct it. I like being corrected, but DO NOT be nasty, or I'll just delete
your message after having a few laughs about how dumb you are.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND ME AN E-MAIL WITH POOR GRAMMAR, YOU WILL *NOT* GET A
RESPONSE FROM NOW ON! I'm sick of reading: "I need help but I'm not sure and by
the way your guide is cool sweet and lke it do you know how to help me?" No,
that's not going to cut it. I want neat, properly written letters so that I can
actually READ and UNDERSTAND it! NO MORE GIBBERISH! Also, please put "Spider-Man
FAQ" in the title to help me. I get too many guide questions from my other
guides to try to organize what question is for what game.

NEWS~
Ok, I've got two things to say. Firstly, that later I'm going to add a "What If?
Mode" section that will have things from What If? Mode. I'm not sure if this
will take place, but I'm gonna work on it. Secondly, I'm later going to make a
Spidey News section for things like Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro. I'll probably
write a guide on it once I get my hands on it. In the News section, I'll put
things like this in and Spider-Man 2 things in.
Version 3.5

best ones that are sent in. I'll make it within a few days, so look out for it!
And hey, nobody copy the idea!!!

(This magnificent controller was made by the great Ewok King, but I changed it
to fit the Spider-Man game controls, thanx Ewok King!)
*Must be wearing the Spider-Man Unlimited suit
Here are some descriptions of the moves (combos that can't be shown in the
controller above) and their uses.
Triangle: Fire Trap webbing. Good for beginning enemies. Useless on later
enemies, symbiotes, and bosses.
Triangle + Up: Fire Impact webbing. Better and stronger than trap webbing,
though still won't work on symbiotes.
Triangle + Down: Web Yank. After firing, press right or left to throw in that
direction.
Triangle + Left: Web Spikes. Powers-up your punches.
Triangle + Right: Web Dome. Defends you against all attacks. Breaks after a lot
of weak hits or one strong hit.
X: This move is second to none when it comes to sheer destructive power, enemey
mangling...no, actually you just Jump.
X + Square (must be near an enemy to do): Flying Punch.
X + O (must be near an enemy to do): Flying Kick.
[]: Punch. Hit repeatedly to unleash a combo. Use Web Spikes to power up.
[] + O: Punch Kick combo. First, Spidey punches normally, then he performs a
side kick that he does often times in the show.
O: Kick. Same as punch, only not powered up with Web Spikes.
O + []: Kick Punch combo. Spidey kicks normally, then he performs a quick punch
forward (instead of coming from the side like a normal punch) that he does often
times in the show.
Triangle + [] or O: Grab. Once grabbed, hit Square again to jump onto their
shoulders. Press Square _again_ to punch them to death. Or press Circle to kick
them.
O O or [] [] + Triangle: Web Grab-Flip Combo. You shoot out a web line then flip
the enemy over your back. Very cool.
(HOLD) L1: Web Aim. A cursor appears. If it is yellow arrows, fire (press
Triangle)! You are shooting at an enemy! If it is light purple, fire! You can
interact with whatever you're aiming at. If it is red, don't fire. Nothing will
happen.
L2: Stealth, if you're wearing the Spider-Man Unlimited (PARALLEL) suit. This is
very useful in the two hostage levels, and on the Subway.
R1: Zip-Line. You shoot to the ceiling, if it is climable. If you are on the
ceiling, you shoot to the floor. If you are on a wall, you shoot to the wall
across from you, if it is close enough.
R2: Web Swing. While in air, press and hold to start swinging.
NOTE: Notice when he is swinging, he is attaching to the air!
NOTE 2: In Kid Mode, pressing X twice will activate the web slinging.
Forward + R2: Forward Pull. This pulls you forward to the wall in front of you
if it is climbable. Sometimes it is hard to do so keep trying!
PICK-UPS
--------
Blue Spider Symbols: Web Cartridge with a max of ten.
NOTE: Three suits limit you to two cartridges.
Red and White Spider Symbols: Health.
Gold and Red Spider Symbols: Magnesium Webbing, which is useful against
symbiotes. It fills up your current cartridge, so once that cartridge is
depleted, you revert back to regular webbing.
Gold Spider Symbols: Spider-Armor, very sweet. Spidey says he "doesn't use it
much, but it might be useful here". And it usually is extremely useful. The
armor takes its own damage, normal Health won't restore it, and whenit runs out
of health, you turn back to regular Spider-Man.

I hope that that did not confuse you too much. I read Kratt's excellent Star Fox
Boss Guide, and saw that he had a Game Display, and I thought, why couldn't I
add one too? So I did! And here it is! A big thanks to Kratt for the idea!
(although, I think he saw it from someone else) Thanx to whoever had that idea!
NO! Don't go to Kings Island! Keep reading!!!

========================================================================
================================Level 1=================================
========================================================================
Area 1. Get To The Bank
It starts out with you crawling up the wall. Then, you flip up and talk to Black
Cat. She tells you that the bank is being robbed and that the robbers have
hostages. Swing forward to the nearest building. If you don't know how, go to
the nearest Question Mark. Run forward and grab the web cartridge. Swing to the
next building. Your Spider-Sense will tingle, and you must handle your first
henchman. Swing to the next building, climb up, and take care of the Henchmen.
Keep going while following the Spidey-Compass and eventually you'll end the
level. :)
Area 2. Bank Approach
Swing to the building ahead of you. Climb up, and you find out the robbers are
the Jade Syndicate. Climb to the top of the building and engage in battle as the
cool music starts. Sometimes I engage in battle on purpose even if I can avoid
it, just to have that awesome music. But then again, I'm just a dork... Take out
all the Bank Thugs and the level ends with you entering the bank.
Comic Location: On top of the Fantastic Four Building
Area 3. Hostage Situation
Exit the room you're in and web up the Bank Thug. Don't engage with your fists
or they'll yell and the other Thugs may execute their hostages. Turn the corner
as your Spider-Sense goes off. Fire off your webbing to web up the Thug. (If you
want/need some webbing, there is some in the elevator to the left, it will open
when you get near it) Take two lefts. Deal with the two Thugs and go forward. Go
to where the ventilation cover is on the floor and your Spider-Sense goes off.
Zip up with R1 and crawl through the ventilation shaft. Take out the Thug and
activate the three switches. Exit through the now open door and web up the two
oncoming Thugs. Turn the far corner and fist fight the three Thugs after the
hostages escape. Go forward, make a right, and run forward till the level ends.
Comic Location: Under the chair in the first cubicle at the end of the level.
Area 4. Stop The Bomb!
Go forward and your Spider-Sense will go off at full blast. Turn left and web up
the Thug. Keep going forward. At the first corner, turn and web up the Thug as
one hostage escapes. Go forward, and turn the next corner, taking out the Thug,
there, too. By this time, at the far side of the room, a Thug should have
appeared. Take him out and free the last hostage. Go straight and turn left.
There is a locked door there so use the vent to bypass it (go to the grating and
Zip-Line). Fight the two Thugs there and another Thug will come out of the door.
Take him out and go forward, not going through the security system (hey, if you
do it beeps, and the Thugs will execute the hostages, sometimes). Go to the
control panel and hit the panel on the right with your web to open the _safe_.
(trust me about the italics sign thing, as the safe will come in handy later.)
Spidey makes a comment on it. Then, hit the other panel with some web. You have
2:01 to Stop The Bomb (hey, where'd you think they got the name)! Enter the
opened door, kill the three Thugs, and pick up the bomb. Now, you gotta put the
bomb in a _safe_ place. HINT HINT! ;) Once you put the bomb in a _safe_ (people,
I'm practically giving the answer away here) place and _lock_ it in, the level
will end.
Comic Location: After all the hostages are freed, run back to the hall before
the first security door.
========================================================================
================================Level 2=================================
========================================================================
Area 1. Race To The Bugle
If you still aren't sure about web swinging, touch the Question Mark. Basically,
just follow your Spidey-Compass. If you don't, Spidey will say, "Oookay. News
Flash. Gotta follow the Spidey-Compass." When you come to the building with the
two henchmen that are anxious about the boss paying them, climb up and take care
of the Henchmen, and go forward to the next building. Take care of that
Henchman, then swing forward to the bugle to the end of the level. If you don't
make it there before Scorpion kills Jameson, you lose, so go as fast as you can,
but go slow enough so that you don't slip and fall.
Comic Location: Go around the side of the building with the two henchmen that
want their money, then press X to detach. You will fall onto a platform with the
Comic on it.
Area 2. Spidey vs. Scorpion!
This guy is one of the easiest bosses in the game. Web him up at the beginning.
Pelt him with a few Impact Webbing shots, then web him up again. Follow this
pattern until JJ runs away like a weener. Then, when Scorpion attacks you, JJ
calls for your help. After you a save him and the level ends, he turns the cops
against you! What a loser!
Comic Location: If you destroy all the furniture in the first room (either by
throwing it or letting Scorpion whip it) the comic will appear in the middle of
the room.
Area 3. Police Chopper Chase
Don't stop moving! Web swing whenever you can. The missiles hurt a lot and you
need to stay away from them. Just keep moving and try to avoid those missiles.
Another tip, when the missiles blow things up, like electrical boxes, you can
find useful things inside, like Health and Web Cartriges.
Comic Location: On the last rooftop hang around until the chopper blows up the
front box on the right side, and the comic will be there.
Area 4. Missile Attack
Always go up! Avoid the boarded up sections, because that's where the police
shoot their missiles. Also, they try to pelt you with machine gun fire, so don't
stop moving. Near the start, you'll see a billboard saying that there will be a
Wolverine interview on Channel 7. Keep climbing upwards, never down. Later on,
there's a sign for the radio channel WHLK 96.6, which wants you to "Wake Up To
WHLK 96.6"! When you reach the top of the building, the level ends. Near the
end, there is also a poster for Fantastic Four Live!
Area 5. Building Top Chase
Turn around and kill the policeman. Go down the side of the building that has
the billboard on it. Climb up and when you reach the billboard, you see is is
for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. When you climb up onto it Spidey will say "Tony
Hawk. Hey, I skated with that guy." Get off onto the building and keep going
forward. When you get to the Hotel (third building), head to the right for some
armor and Comic #7 in the crane. This is a lot like Police Chopper Chase. Just
use the same tacticts.
Comic Location: Inside the Goblin crane lair.
Area 6. Scale The Girders
Do as Spidey says and go up. When you get to the top, scale the girders. A
sniper will try to shoot you on the outside, so crawl from side to side to aviod
him. On the inside, BEWARE OF FALLING GIRDERS AND ARMED COPS. You'll even see a
sign that says "Hardhat Area". When you reach the top of that, your Spider-Sense
goes off. Head for the crane, grab the Health Icon, and run down the crane.
Swing to the box to end the level.
Comic Location: Go around the left side of the building and drop down. The comic
will be on that ledge.
Area 7. Police Evaded
Keep going forward, like level 7 & 9. Go to the gossip building for a little
message of the future. Follow your Spider-Compass and evade as many missiles as
you can. These levels are just too similar, you need the same advice. When you
get to the building with the towers, the level is over.
Comic Location: When the chopper blows out the skylights, go in and hit the
yellow glass with Impact Webbing. "Look what I found!"
========================================================================
================================Level 3=================================
========================================================================
Area 1. Spidey vs. Rhino!
Rhino is, what are the words? Oh yeah, easy, easy, easy! Lure him into the
electric canister in the center by standing in front of one. Rhino will charge
at you. When he's close, jump away. BBBZZZZZZZT! "Rhino burgers, comin' up!"
Keep this up. You can use each canister twice. If you run out of those, use the
barrels in the same manner. If you run out of barrels, which you shouldn't, you
can stand in front of the wall, and make him charge you. Jump away, and peg him
with Web Spikes while he is stuck to the wall.
Comic Location: If you destroy all the barrels (either by letting Rhino bash
them or destroying them yourself) the comic appears in the center.
Scarlet Spider Costume: Just beat him. 'Nuff said. :)
========================================================================
================================Level 4=================================
========================================================================
Area 1. Catch Venom
The Human Torch just flies away like nothing is happening! Symbiotes hate fire,
why can't he lend a hand? I mean, he expects Spidey to handle EVERYTHING? Come
on! He's so irritable. Where's a flamethrower when you need it? Anyway, your
Spider-Compass is your best bet here. Follow it as carefully as possible. If
Venom gets too far ahead of you, it's game over. Here's a small guide: Run
straight forward, jump, and swing after Venom. Venom should swing to the
building ahead and to the left. This is where you may make a mistake. Instead,
go slightly to the right to gain some ground on him. This roof is double-
layered, so jump to the top layer and swing forward, you should see Venom up
ahead. Land on the building behind Venom, with a bridge connecting the
buildings. Jump and swing forward once more. Venom will go to the left and go
forward to cut in front of him. You should land just as Venom does and darts
toward the right. Spin right, jump, and swing again to the open building ahead.
Venom lands in an unfinished building and here is where you get a breather.
Quickly grab the Spidey Armor to the left and pursue Venom. He'll jump into a
building and you'll automatically follow if you go to the edge he jumped off. A
rather humorous cinematic follows. Venom exits the far side and you follow. You
land on a building, and here you regain control. Climb to the roof to see Venom.
Don't run straight at him, turn left and head for the corner, then swing to the
building ahead to gain some more ground on him. Venom will keep going so you
need to, too. Almost done. Follow Venom and after two roofs, he'll go to the
right. Follow him to end the level. You'll know you're done if he says: "If you
wanna fight, follow me." Whew! Long level! :)
Comic Locations:
11: On the girder building
12: On building rooftop after the in-game sequence (the one in the building)
Area 2. Spidey vs. Venom!
"Where'd Spider-Wuss go? Spider-Wuss! Come out and play!" ::Looks around::
::Spider-Man comes down and bashes his head:: "Tag!"
Anyhoo, when the level begins, you automatically put on a pair of Web
Spikes, which will come in handy. Venom appears and disappears, and if you're
far from him when he re-appears, he'll pull you in and hit you with a grab-lick-
throw combo. But if you're close, he'll web you up and throw you. So when he
does appear, jump towards him and unleash a punch combo while wearing the Web
Spikes. When he disappears, re-new your Web Spikes and reapeat the process until
you win.
Comic Location: Under the car.
Ben Reilly Costume: Again, just beat him.
Area 3. Sewer Enterence
Follow Venom into the hole. You'll soon run into Lizardmen with your Spider-
Sense tingling. After they have departed, go forward into a large open cavern.
Swing from one pipe to the other. Grab the Health Icon at the opening and go
forward as the door slams shut. Run forward toward the door, while taking care
of the four Lizardmen, and the level will end.
Comic Location: In the first hallway. After going out into the cavern, spin
around and go back.
Area 4. Sewer Cavern
Venom opens the door and you run in. Swing from the platform to the pipe. Go out
to the second pipe and go to the left. The game tells you to use L1 targeting.
Swing to the pipes ahead. Aim behind the water fall after swinging from the
first pipe and swing when the aimer turns green. Grab the Power-ups (two Health
and Spidey Armor). After you navigate all the pipes, you'll swing to an opening.
Go through it and put on your Web Spikes and fight the four Lizardmen. Walk
forward to the Subway to end the level.
Comic Location: Behind the waterfall with the power-ups.
Area 5. Subway
Put on your Web Spikes and prepare for battle. Just stay on the Subway and fight
off any Lizardmen that drop for the ceiling. A good strategy to do is to run to
the front, spin around, trap any on-coming Lizardmen, allowing you to run to the
back. When you get to the back, spin around and trap any on-coming Lizardmen.
Run back to the front and repeat. If you stay on and live, you win! Also, keep
collecting Web Cartridges because a lot come along.
Area 6. Sewage Plant
Move forward and face off against the three Lizardmen. Take them out and
continue onward. When you reach the intersection, take care of the baddies, and
make a right. Pick up the goodies, and prepare to face four more Lizardmen.
Jumping over them would be advisable, cuz the best fight is no fight, right?
Hey, that rymes! :p Now, Zip-Line up at the grate, and turn right and dispatch
the Lizardmen. Make an about-face and keep going. When you see the switch, flip
it. Hurry now, jump down and enter the passageway. Go up and walk forward. Flip
the three switches, activating a cinematic, then turn around and go back down
the hall. Fight the Lizardmen and then flip the switch. Hurry back through and
clamber out. Go back and this room is reverse of the other room with the
switches. Except, there will be Lizardmen waiting for you. Take care of them,
hit the switches, then leave. Go to the grate that opened when you hit the last
three switches and hit this switch (man, a lot of switch flippin'!). Wait till
the water is gone and jump down. Go forward a ways then jump up through the
ceiling to be done with the level. ;)
Comic Location: Located at the end of the first hallway and making a left turn,
instead of right.
WARNING: Water is fatal to Spidey!
Area 7. Hidden Switches
Itty bitty teeny weeny level. Go forward and when you get to the water, swing
over to the left side. Look left and hit the switch. Upon doing so, your Spider-
Sense goes off, and Lizardmen creep from the depths. Ignore them and swing over
to the other side of the water. Again, face left and hit the switch. This time,
the water goes down a little. Go back over, turn right and hit the switch,
lowering the water a little more. Go back over, face right, and hit the switch.
Jump into the now drained area and move into the opening. Note, there are gaps
in the wires in the pit where the water was. Three that are near the sides.
Comic Location: Near Switch #3 after Switch #4 is pressed.
Area 8. Tunnel Crawl
Move forward to see Venom flash by. Take out the two Lizardmen and turn left.
Keep going and go through the hole Venom made. Go forward. Move right next to
where you see a water line. Wait for the water to rise. After it begins to go
down, move to the next rise and repeat. After you get out of the tunnel, you'll
face two Lizardmen. Kill them and keep going forward. You'll see a big pool with
a huge pipe in the middle. The water is going up and down, so swing to it when
the water is starting to go down. Don't even TRY to stick to the walls, they are
too slick and wet for Spidey to attach to. Once you make it to the other side,
flip the switch and turn around. Venom will run you down and run off. Go down
into the now drained pool, and hit the switch in the middle. Beware though,
Lizardmen wait for you in the drained pool. Then, go back through the tunnel you
started in through the water part and out the exit. Just keep going forward, and
you'll be done in no time.
Comic Location: After flipping the switch to open the gate, move around to the
back of the second box to find the Comic.
Area 9. Venom's Puzzle
This is a small puzzle level. Venom taunts you and runs behind four closed
doors. You have to figure out the puzzle and unlock all four doors. Turn around
and run into the big chamber. Stand on the platform in front. Notice all the
switches. Don't hit any! The one you need to hit is two platforms below you.
Step off the ledge and to a 180o spin and press R2. If you did it right you
should land on the platfrom two floors down. Go to the switch and hit it. Turn
and face the main area and go into L1 Targeting Mode. Aim a little to the left
and up. You should be aiming near the waterfall. Hit that switch and then return
to where you first jumped off. Go through the now open doors and continue to
follow Venom.
Area 10. The Lizard's Maze
Run forward down the hall. When you reach the opening, Venom may appear,
depending on the difficulty you chose. If so, make him vanish with two web
balls. Zip-Line to the ceiling and go through the opening. Follow the path and
when you come to the slamming walls, get close to where they slam, wait for them
to slam, then go through. When you coe to an intersection, turn right. Keep
going straight until you encounter Venom. Make him vanish the same way. Keep
going and eventually you'll find The Lizard! Venom has caged him, and if you
follow his directions, you'll get out. Here they are as best I can remember:
"Follow this path past two waterways. At the third waterway, turn right.Follow
it around the corners, and past the machinery.Skip the first intersection and go
right at the next. You will find the woman there." If anyone knows what he
really says, E-Mail me and I'll change it.
Comic Location: Near Lizard after talking with him.
Area 11. Spidey vs. Venom Again!
Immediately after you regain control, turn off the switch Venom activated, the
one you are facing. After that, put on some Web Spikes and wait for Venom. When
he comes, get to him quickly and whack him down. Rinse and repeat. This process
of protecting the switches and whacking him will eventually wear the symbiote
down. Course, during the battle, Venom is Neversoft (pun intended) on you if
you're in the harder difficulties, so you'll have plenty of time to Marvel
(another pun intended) at his moves and strength. But, if you follow what's
here, you should be in OK shape!
========================================================================
================================Level 5=================================
========================================================================
Area 1. Symbiotes Infest Bugle
::lets out a long sigh:: We're getting into the more...ermmmm ...annoying
enemies of the game, the hard-to-kill Symbiotes. Any kind of webbing, except Web
Spikes, doesn't affect them, and they are just plain stupy! (not a typo) Oh,
well. Anyhow, take out the symbiote (with your feet) and then turn to the broken
glass. Fire in some webbing at the switch inside to free a hostage (there are
three I think). Zip-Line to the ceiling and crawl diagonally right. Turn the
corner and drop down. Run forward and beware of the symbiote. Move around the
corner, past the desks, and go to the glass. It will shatter when you get near,
and frees another hostage. There's a symbiote there, give him a pounding, and
climb up into the vent in the far corner of the once-glassed in room. You'll
hear, "Help. Help. Heeeeelp." quietly said from the hostage up there. He'll tell
you how to free him, grab the Health, then drop down the vent in front of the
Health. Web the switch in front of you to free the last hostage, then follow
your Spidey-Compass to the elevator, take care of the symbiotes, and flip the
switch. Then, you'll automatically jump down the elevator. :P
Comic Location: Located inside the first vent with a hostage.
Area 2. Elevator Descent
Stay on the elevator, and take out the symbiote, by pushing him off. Symbiotes
will drop down, but you'll be able to handle them easily. After you break two
symbiote barriers, the elevator will soon stop. Crawl up the wall with your
elevator on it and get into the opening. Grab the Web Cartridge, and hit the
switch to get the elevator moving again. Jump back on top and keep going down.
when you get to the end, the elevator will stop once more. Apparently, the
Bugle's elevators are made from a frictionless steel. Spidey can't stick to 'em.
Get down to the symbiote barrier and hit the switch on the RIGHT side, walk in
the door and end the level. Note that if you dawdle too long at the end, the
symbiotes will cut the elevator cable, making it plummet to its destruction, and
you'll go with it if you're not on the wall when it does! Elelator go down 'da
hole!
Comic Location: Inside the last corridor, at the bottom left.
Area 3. Stop The Presses!
Destroy the...Symbiote Generator? This will generate an infinite amount of
symbiotes until the two purple globs on the side are destroyed. Trap Webbing
won't work on the globs, but you can punch them, or shoot them with Impact
Webbing. Use punches to save webbing. Destroy the generator in front of you,
then take care of the symbiote. Zip-Line up to the ceiling and move to the far
left of the room. Over the presses, looking into the top-left wall, you'll see
two openings. Go into the one to the left. You'll immediately spot another
generator, so destroy it, along with any of the symbiotes in the room. Grab the
Web Fluid if need be. Exit the room and take the other opening. Go to the left
and go forward. Follow the wall until you come to an opening. Enter. Your
Spider-Sense will tingle and the symbiotes will push the ream of paper at the
top off, sending it down at you. Jump over it and land beside the last
generator. Destroy it and then, move to the 'garage door', flip the switch, and
pick up the Magnesium Webbing. Exit the room and turn left, going into the last
room. The symbiotes push another ream of paper at you, avoid it, take care of
the symbiotes, then go to the left side of the room. You'll see an open vent on
the floor. Jump down it to end the level!
Comic Location: Under one of the stacks of paper. Press Square to pick it up,
and the Comic will appear.
Area 4. Bugle's Basement
Run forward, take care of the Symbiote if provoked, then make your first left.
The door will shatter, and steam will start. It hurts, so jump over it. Run to
the switch, hit it, then run straight into the fire. Zip-Line up right away,
