Your guide to beating the 'Find the Source' mission in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Learn how to defeat Symbiotes, destroy pods, and take down Electro!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make your way to the marker on your map. You'll run into a few Symbiotes there. Take them all down.
  2. 2
    One Symbiote will survive and try to make a run for it. Chase after it! It'll lead you to its nest.
  3. 3
    Once you're at the nest, you'll need to destroy four pods. Get rid of them all.
  4. 4
    After you've dealt with the pods, get ready for a familiar face to return: Electro! He's back, he's crazier than ever, and now he's got symbiote powers. The good news is he takes less damage to put down this time. The bad news? He dishes out a LOT more.
  5. 5
    The best way to beat Electro is by using your Web Strikes. These are crucial for getting past the tons of projectiles he'll be throwing at you.
  6. 6
    Electro tends to return to the platform in the center of the area, so you'll usually know where to find him. Keep hitting him with Web Strikes.
  7. 7
    He'll start absorbing power after a few hits. Keep damaging him, but be super careful when he starts breaking your strikes. Combined with his lightning attacks up close, this can take nearly half your health!
  8. 8
    When Electro's Electric charge bar fills up, he'll create four more pods that need destroying. It's not totally clear if this happens a set number of times or if it's random, but you'll want to rush to destroy these pods as soon as they appear. This will make Electro damageable again.
  9. 9
    Warning: When Electro is charging energy, it's way safer to just let him create the pods than to try and damage him when he's surrounded by electricity. Stay back!
  10. 10
    After you finally defeat Electro, you'll have two choices on how to deal with him and the symbiote.
Tips
  • Focus on using Web Strikes to bypass Electro's projectile attacks.
  • Always keep an eye on Electro's charge bar and be ready to destroy the pods when they appear.
  • Be extra cautious when Electro is close to you, as his lightning attacks are devastating.
  • Don't try to attack Electro directly when he's fully charged; it's safer to wait for him to create the pods.
