Learn how to defeat Mysterio in Spider-Man 2 (2004). Includes tips for collecting red exotic spiders during the boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Step out onto the bare rock, which will float across to a city block.
  2. 2
    Mysterio will appear in the air and start flinging boulders. Run around until he stops, then pick up a boulder and fling it at him. Be quick, as boulders disappear shortly.
  3. 3
    After the first hit, Mysterio will move further down the block and repeat the attack.
  4. 4
    After the second hit, Mysterio will move to another city block.
  5. 5
    When near the city block where Mysterio waits, pull down another statue and prepare to fight him again.
  6. 6
    You must hit Mysterio three times before he flees.
  7. 7
    Mysterio will eventually hover over the Daily Bugle building. Explore the surrounding area for health crosses, but do not go on the roof of the Bugle until ready for the final stage.

Red Exotic Spider Locations:

  • To get a red exotic spider, go around the corner towards the island with the Mysterio statue. Keep going around the block to the next corner, stand on the edge, and look down. A moving platform will appear; wait for the timing and drop onto it. Jump to another moving platform, then to a still platform, and PULL the spider to you.
  • When you reach a still platform with two moving platforms coming to either side, take the platform that goes down and away from Mysterio. Carefully jump across three still platforms (you cannot use ZIP on them) to another moving platform, then jump to a still platform and PULL the spider to you.
  • To the left of the platform that takes you to Mysterio, another platform rises to street level. Take it down and jump across the platforms underneath the city block to find a spider.
  • On the way to Mysterio, right before the first statue that must be pulled down, take the small moving platform that moves down and away from Mysterio. Follow the platforms to get a spider.
Tips
  • Aiming at Mysterio requires patience and practice.
  • Sometimes you will have to jump or zip to another platform to progress.
  • Use the moving rock platforms to work across to the city block where Mysterio waits.
  • It is almost impossible to adequately describe the route, so pay attention and remember to jump/zip between platforms.
  • Collect red exotic spiders by taking less traveled paths.
