Mission Three: Jurassic Heist

You have to grab the librarian here as he is dropped off the clock tower. If you press your web swing button as soon as you gain control of Spider-Man and swing straight ahead, you'll hopefully nab the dude before he splats, but be ready to take a few tries to get it just right.

Head over to the Natural History Museum (what do they need with wedding rings?) and quickly bash the Candies before they completely destroy the dinosaur skeleton in the middle of the area, using Spider-Senses to track down the enemies that are launching the explosives. There are plenty of them, and there are a couple of phases to the fight, so use your crowd-clearing powers as best you can to eliminate them before the skeleton is completely annihilated. When you're ready to leave, don't forget that you have to head downstairs to find the exit.

Mission Four: Bridezilla

The big day has finally arrived! Priscilla is marrying some…guy. Good for her! Unfortunately, when you crash the party, she tells her Candies to kill you, as well as the unfortunate groom.

You'll need to pick up the groom and move him around the chapel when told to do so. This is stupid on the face of it, since you're telling yourself that you need to move him somewhere safer, then wind up moving him 20 feet into another huge crowd of Candies. Don't worry too much about it, though; just unload your combos on the girls while dodging their attacks as best you can, and unload your Earth Shaker move on them to knock the lot of them around. You'll need to use your super powers to knock all of them down at once if you want to survive the fight.

Eventually you'll move the groom to the upper section of the cathedral. Defeat all the girls up here (the Earth Shocker will send most of them flying back to the floor and give you some breathing room), and you should be able to free the groom and face off with Priscilla.

Priscilla shouldn't be too much of a threat for you at this point. It's best to take her on on the ground floor, near the doors to the church. In the tight space, you can unload combos on her to boost your rage meter, or whatever it's called, then use your added combo power to knock her into walls while raging. You'll normally knock her out of attack range with your first hit, but if you can attack her while her back's to a wall, your entire combo should land, letting you finish her off relatively quickly.

Dragon Tail

Mission One: High-Speed Pursuit

The Dragon Tails have stolen a van loaded with statues. Use your Spider-Sense to track the statues on the street. Don't bother swinging along, as it can be difficult to find the statues from above. Just stick to the ground and sprint along the streets to keep an eye on the statues in front of you. When you get to the end of the trail, fight the remaining Tails to complete the mission.

Mission Two: Tail of the Dragon

You’ll meet with the Collector at the outset of this fight, but your rendezvous will quickly come under fire by Dragon Tails. At first, three rocket launcher enemies will pop into existence on the nearby rooftops; track them down and kill them, then do the same for the multiple foes that appear on the rooftop itself.

When the helicopter appears above you, it can be difficult to figure out what to do; you need to get as close to it as possible, and you should automatically warp to it and pull off the gatling gun that’s attached to it. With that done, you’ll need to use your slingshot ability to get in front of it before mashing a few buttons to protect the civilians below as the helicopter slides to the ground.

Mission Three: Collection Protection

This one can be annoying. Your job involves escorting an armored car through the streets of New York and protecting it as it’s attacked by Dragon Tails. There’ll be plenty of cars that will follow it and attempt to smash it up, so you’ll have to jump on them, defeat the passengers, then rip off the hood or otherwise disable the cars in order to prevent them from chasing the van. Don’t bother attacking the drivers when they hop out of the disabled cars; just leave them behind and move on to the next car.

Eventually the van will stop on the street when it gets near to the water. Disable any cars in the area, then hop onto the nearby buildings and destroy the rocket launcher soldiers up there. If you do so, you can return to the van, clear out any remaining foot soldiers, and end the mission.

Mission Four: Hidden Temple

When you get the prompt to head to the police warehouse, do so, then follow the van as it speeds away. When you finally manage to begin to disable it, though, a helicopter will come and snipe you off. Swing above it and web up the rotors to free yourself to disable the van, and you'll discover that it's a decoy!

Return to the warehouse and follow Chen's chopper to one of the nearby skyscrapers, where the rest of the artifacts are located. Do your best to take down the bulk of the first group of soldiers without getting too beat up; use your Dark Earth Shaker power if you have it to knock off the health of most of them in one fell swoop.

After the initial goons are taken care of, four tougher soldiers will appear and start wailing on you. These guys can be wickedly difficult, since some of them will attack with their swords while the others shoot at you with their guns. Try to lure them up the stairs here and take them on one at a time, if possible; the stairs should protect you from the gunfire.

Boss Fight!

The Dragon Tail bossman is a teleporting samurai with two swords. He's difficult to hit, but doesn't deal too much damage during the fight, unless you get too far away from him, in which case he'll begin shooting you. Stay close! If he teleports away from you, hold the dodge button to dodge the attack that's likely incoming and counterattack it.

If you attempt to open up a combo, he'll teleport away most of the time, but you'll still be able to get some of your combos through. We found the Rofl Copter move to get through a fair amount of the time; that and the Punch Fury both deal a decent amount of damage if they manage to penetrate his teleportation affects. You can also sometimes counter his incoming attack by doing the basic strong attack while he's coming your way; you'll kick him out of the air and can follow through with punches.
