Ch8.Class Trip

Your guide to the Venom 2 boss fight in Ultimate Spider-Man's 'Class Trip' mission. Learn Venom's attack patterns and how to defeat him.

Alright, so you're heading to the Empire State Art Museum for a class trip in Ultimate Spider-Man. Weirdly, no other classmates show up, which is a bummer because this would've been the perfect spot to check out Liz Allen. Anyway, Peter's just chilling, geeking out, when suddenly his head starts pounding. He doesn't know why, but he knows it's serious trouble.

Meanwhile, Eddie Brock is nearby, feeling a pull towards something he needs. Next thing you know, we flash to a cutscene of Venom and Spidey crawling on walls. Peter's shocked to see Eddie alive, but Venom's not here for a friendly chat. It's boss fight time!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Boss: Venom (Eddie Brock)
• Weakness: Vulnerable after specific attacks.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Standard Combat
   You'll start the fight with Venom. The key here is constant movement. Jump around and land quick jabs. Don't stay too close for too long, as Venom will try to suck you in to absorb you. After he finishes one of his attacks, he'll often yell out, leaving him open for a short window. Use this time to land a 3 or 4 hit combo, then immediately disengage and reposition.
2. Phase 2: Low Health
   As Venom's health gets lower, his attacks might become more desperate or aggressive. Keep up the same strategy: stay mobile, dodge his lunges and grabs, and punish him when he's open after his own attacks. The core strategy remains the same – hit and run.

Strategy:

• Stay Mobile: Never stop moving. Jumping and dodging are your best friends. Standing still is a death sentence because Venom can grab you and start draining your health.
• Punish Openings: After Venom finishes a big attack (like a lunge or a slam), he'll often pause and yell. This is your cue to rush in, land a quick combo (3-4 hits should be enough), and then get out before he can retaliate.
• Avoid the Grab: Venom's most dangerous move is his attempt to suck you in. If he gets close enough, he'll try to grab you. Keep your distance or dodge out of the way when he lunges.
• Chip Away: This fight is about wearing him down. Don't get greedy with your combos. Land a few hits, get out, and repeat. Patience is key.
