Abilities to Use
If you want to beat the Lizard in battle, you will need to combo a few of Spider-Man’s abilities and time correctly for an advantage. Spider-Man 2 has revamped some old abilities seen in the previous game, and added in some new ones in the mix. The abilities to look out for are:
- Parry – Spider-Man 2 has added the parry ability to counter your opponent’s attacks. Parry lets you deflect the Lizard’s attack, leaving him vulnerable and susceptible to damage for a short while.
- Web Shooters – The Lizard is not that fond of your webs, and that makes it the perfect weapon for attacks. Just shoot out your webs and get a few hits in once you see the beast struggling to get the webs off.
- Gadgets – Gadgets can definitely help you distract your opponent if you need to heal up or take a breather between the Lizard’s three-part battle.
- Spider Sense – Your spider sense is quite helpful if you pay attention to its color. The sense will turn red immediately when it senses an incoming attack, giving you enough time to prepare for a dodge.
- Symbiote Powers – You can also use your Venom powers to shoot out black webs and get an upper hand in this battle.
