Sewer Control: How to Win the Lizard Boss Fight in Marvel's Spider-Man 2

  Crush Attacks

  

  When you first start the boss fight with the Lizard, it is important to note that the game introduces us to a new attack type from enemies. Crushing attacks are denoted by blue circles. Whenever you see this, be sure to dodge out of the way. You can not parry these, so be sure to move out of the way. In this fight, that means dodging left or right before it comes in.

  General Tips

  

  The fight against Lizard has three phases (four if you count a chase sequence in the middle). We recommend having all of your abilities set to Peter's symbiote powers and not any of the Spider-Tech abilities. Not only can they deal good damage if you have upgraded them, but they can interrupt his attacks in crucial moments. Also, don't forget to press in L3 and R3 to activate your Venom Surge ability to deal heavy damage when you have it available.

  First Phase

  

  We hear you yelling at your screen for us to get to the fight already, so here we go. The first phase of this fight is pretty simple, as the game wants to introduce you to the new blue attacks. Mr. Green's attacks will be pretty slow and monotonous at first. Just be sure to dodge sideways when he tries to bite you with his blue attack, and dodge backward with his normal claw attacks. If you see a yellow marker momentarily, get ready to parry or use an ability or gadget to interrupt his tail attack. If you want to stun the creature, hold L1 and R1 on the yellow doors on the ground when he stands over them. The steam will give you a chance to land some heavy blows on him.

  Second Phase

  

  When the second phase starts, Lizard will be clinging to a wall and will launch himself forward at you with a new blue attack. Dodge sideways to avoid that incoming damage. When on the ground, his attacks are pretty much the same as in the first phase. However, he will climb up on walls and start grabbing rubble to throw at you. You will have to dodge out of the way when it comes in. Be ready after the second throw; that is when he will launch himself at you with the blue attack again.

  Third Phase (Chase Sequence)

  

  The third phase is the chase sequence we alluded to earlier. For this, the Lizard will be running rampant around New York City while you try to catch up to him. This section shouldn't cause you too much trouble, as the Lizard slows down when he begins getting far from you. There is a limit to how far the game will let him go, though. If you ever need to catch up quickly, just do a Slingshot Launch by holding L2 and X on the ground. 

  As you chase him, there will be occasional debris thrown at you, and after a while, the Hunters appear and you need to dodge their attacks. Our recommendation is to rely on your web-swinging in this section and dodge when needed. Be ready for a few QTEs, but they're nothing hard. For the most part, this chase sequence is an interactive cutscene.

  Fourth Phase

  

  For the fourth phase, Peter and the Lizard end up back in the sewers but in a new room. Now the steam doors are red and will still stun him if you open them when he stands on top. Additionally, there are a couple of doors on the walls now, which will stun him and knock him to the ground if you can time it right.

  Fourth Phase Continued

  

  There are some variations to his attacks now. His blue attack is now a scream that you need to dodge sideways of. If you get hit by this, your venom abilities will be knocked back on top of the damage you take. When he attacks from the wall, he will launch at you after one throw now, and his claw attacks are now followed by his yellow tail attack. 

  Be sure to watch out for all the signs the Lizard gives when he is attacking. Don't get greedy with your offensive strikes, and you should be able to neutralize what he does with a little help from your gadgets and abilities.
