Injustice: Gods Among Us [Guide]
TABLE OF CONTENTS——————————–
1. SUPERMAN
——————————–
Mission 1. Getting Started
“Flash tries to reason with Superman about letting his emotions get in the way. Complete the moves listed on top of the screen before saving Lois.”
[ ] Strengthen your skills
[ ] Land a 5 hit combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
The introductory mission is easy enough. For the most part, every single time you begin a new character, you will have to go through a sequence of their moves so you can learn how to play as them. This is the case here, except you can earn extra stars if you perform other actions. For example, you can earn all three stars here if you perform all the moves, plus land a 5-hit combo, and hit a combo that damages more than 30%. With Superman, this is all easy, and I believe you can actually knock these two off your list simply by following through the moves if you go through them quick enough to keep a combo going.
Mission 2. The Yellow Sun
“Determined to get past Bane, Superman uses the sun’s power to build his strength. Stand in the rays of the sun to charge Superman’s health.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Land a Level Transition
[ ] Win with 50 or more seconds remaining
Mission 2 introduces a gimmick, and the S.T.A.R. Labs Missions are all about gimmicks, so get used to it. This is a timed fight, and the gimmick of it is that you can regenerate your health if you stay within the sun beam that is moving around the stage. The Level Transition star is also very easy. You need to get Bane to the right side of the stage, with you on his left, then hold A, pull the left analog stick to the left, and release to perform the Level Transition successfully.
Mission 3. Kryptonite Batarangs
“Lex has attached a mind-control device to Batman. Defeat Batman while avoiding his Kryptonite batarangs.”
[ ] Defeat Batman
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Avoid getting hit by a Batarang
The missions don’t gradually increase in difficulty, which is very apparent right from the outset. As will soon tell, the objective of not being hit by a Batarang is an incredibly tough task, so don’t expect to get all three stars on your first go here. The interactive object one is easy enough, and otherwise you just have to defeat Batman. Avoiding the Batarangs is the one that will hold you back if nothing else.
Mission 4. Heating Up
“Overcome the Alternate Superman that Lex brought to Earth. Hit the matching on-screen button to power up your heat vision.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Win without missing any button inputs
[] Cross the line 5 times
Tug of war, except with laser eyes. You have to hit the buttons that appear to force your laser beam into the alternate Superman. The way you can cross the line five times is by hitting enough buttons to get the laser over the line, and then holding back so that the laser recedes back towards yourself. You can then repeat the process until the star pops up, and then you are free to put the alternate Superman out of his misery.
Mission 5. Rain Of Fire
“Cyborg has been reprogrammed by Lex to take down Superman. Watch out for the falling debris from nearby buildings.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Win without getting hit by more than 5 pieces of debris
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
I would spam Special Moves right from the outset just to get that one out of the way, but remember that you don’t have to complete each objective in one go to earn all the stars. You could do the Super Moves in this one, and then go back and get the one from avoiding the debris. This mission is a simple fight against Cyborg, except the debris falling from the ceiling adds a sort of “X” factor, if you will.
Mission 6. Meteor From Krypton
“Superman has been weakened by Kryptonite dropped by Lex. Survive for 20 seconds without being hit by Catwoman’s attacks.”
[ ] Stay alive for 20 seconds
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Throw twice
Superman has been severely weakened by Kryptonite, which means he can be killed. You have to survive for 20 seconds, and if you get hit once, you die. Make Catwoman follow you around the screen to drain the clock. Hitting her with grab moves, which is one of the other objectives anyway, is another good way to burn the clock down.
Mission 7. Save The Human
“Lex’s henchmen are attacking civilians. Protect the civilians by using your Heat Zap and Ground Smash to stop the incoming threats.”
[ ] Save the citizen
[ ] Don’t miss an incoming threat
[ ] Crush the bugs
Projectiles will come from right in front of you and below. You have to blast the projectiles and smash the bugs on the ground. If one of them gets by, the citizen dies and you fail the mission. By “not missing an incoming threat”, it means that you not only have to stop everything going to the citizen, but you can’t miss even one time. Patience is key. This is another tough one to get all three stars in.
Mission 8. Noxious Fumes
“Superman attempts to question Poison Ivy about Lois’s location, but discovers Lex has freed Joker and armed him with Kryptonite poison.
[ ] Defeat The Joker
[ ] Win with a throw
[ ] Win without using any Special Ability
Your health will constantly drain during this mission because Joker is equipped with Kryptonite poison. Getting all three stars is easy enough, though. Just mash combos at The Joker. Don’t worry about putting in the analog inputs, as that is what activates the Special Moves, which will keep you from getting all three stars. When his health gets down so there’s about a quarter left, just spam him with throws so you can assure that the killing blow is indeed with a grapple.
Mission 9. Man Of Steel
“Three of the strongest villains in the universe have been sent to destroy Superman. Use your Super Move as the final blow.”
[ ] Defeat all villains
[ ] Win using only punches
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves on one opponent
This is a gauntlet battle. In this mission, you will HAVE to play it at least twice to get all the stars. The reason for that is the two secondary objectives here cancel each other out. You can’t win using only punches while simultaneously connecting with 10 Special Moves on one opponent. I recommend doing the Special Moves one first on the first opponent, then practice going through the three fights with only punches. Then the second time through, you will be more prepared to blow through it using only punches.
Mission 10. Kryptonite Plated
“LexCorp has developed a Kryptonite energy source for Luthor’s power armor. Damage Lex 10 times to deplete the energy source and save Lois.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Win without jumping
[ ] Win with a Super Move
This is a regular battle against Lex Luthor, except with a twist to make it a longer and tougher fight. Lex has special armor on that is using Kryptonite as a power source. You have to break through that shield before you can actually fight Lex. Spam attacks to break the shield, and then you can fight him like normal. The special objectives here will ask you to win without jumping and win with a Super Move. Move slow, because the game will sometimes mistake a left analog stick tilt to the left or right as a jumping command. When Lex’s health is getting low, be sure to spam those Super Moves so you can ensure that he is defeated with one.
To Top
——————————–
2. BATMAN
——————————–
Mission 11. Sparring Practice
“Batman must hone his skills before going after Arkham’s deadliest villains. Execute the moves listed on top of the screen to spar.”
[ ] Show Nightwing how rusty you are
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
[ ] Hit Nightwing 15 times in the head
Here we are again with Batman’s introductory mission which will explain all of his moves to you. Pretty much just going through the moves and defeating Nightwing will mean that you have hit him 15 times in the head, so this one is like a free three star rating.
Mission 12. Baffled Bats
“Scarecrow’s fear-inducing poison fills the air. Capture Raven before Scarecrow’s madness overcomes Batman’s reality.”
[ ] Apprehend Raven
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Win a Clash
I found this mission to be incredibly annoying. For one, actually forcing a Clash to happen is really tough, so you’ll pretty much just have to keep going at it until you’re lucky and it happens, and two, the “fear gas” is excruciating on the eyes. It makes the level tilt a lot, and sometimes Batman becomes “confused” or falls asleep, which just makes this fight seem cheap as hell. There’s nothing really you can do about it except push through and defeat Raven, save your Special Meter, and hope to hell that a “Clash” occurs.
Mission 13. Grenades And Grundy
“Grundy, a zombie, is tough to damage with hand-to-hand combat. Use the undead grenades located around the Batcave to do significant damage.”
[ ] Apprehend Grundy
[ ] Win without missing a grenade
[ ] Win without using grenades
This is the second mission in the game in which two objectives cancel each other out, so you will definitely have to play through this one at least twice to get all of the stars from it. “Apprehending Grundy” means just beating him, but the grenades add a gimmick to the fight. You can pick up the grenades and then use them easily enough. It’s next to impossible to actually miss with the things. Plus, you can always just hit him with one grenade right at the start and then don’t bother with them for the rest of the match if you are worried that you will go to throw one and miss. Then replay through and go through the fight without ever touching the grenades, or vice-versa.
Mission 14. Pie In the Face
“Stop Joker and Harley from trying to escape Arkham. Avoid their attacks of incoming pies and chattering teeth to reach the evil duo.”
[ ] Reach Joker and Harley
[ ] Don’t move backwards
[ ] Avoid 10 pies
There is no actual fight in this mission. You start at the left side of the screen and move to the right side of the screen. There will be teeth on the ground that you can’t touch, plus pies will fly in from off-screen. In order to satisfy the “avoid 10 pies” requirement, you will have to stand in place to bait the pies to keep coming, and then just avoid them to the best of your ability. Reaching the right side of the screen will end the mission.
Mission 15. Killer Croc
“Killer Croc has opened the cells in Stryker’s Island. Use Batman’s Batarang to stop the prisoners from escaping.”
[ ] Apprehend Killer Croc
[ ] Dodge 10 Shoulder Charges
[ ] Flawless Victory
Yes, they bothered to put Killer Croc in the game, yet he doesn’t actually have a moveset or anything. The first part of the battle involves knocking prisoners back with Batarangs. When that’s done, Croc will charge at you repeatedly. Avoid his charges and attack his back. Repeat the process until his health meter is drained, and then you can put him away. You can only take three shoulder attacks before failing the mission.
Mission 16. Deathstroke Destroy
“Joker is covering Deathstroke’s attempt to escape via an APC. Destroy the APC while avoiding incoming missiles from Joker.”
[ ] Destroy the APC
[ ] Win with at least 10 seconds remaining
[ ] Make 5 rockets hit the APC
Man, this one drove me nuts, but hopefully with my advice, you’ll have better luck. Basically, Deathstroke is hiding in an APC on the right side of the screen. In the background, The Joker will be firing rockets at you. Whenever he talks, that means he’s about to shoot a slower-moving rocket, but one that is still very tough to dodge. When he laughs, you better jump immediately, or else you will be hit by the rocket and subsequently fail the mission. To get him to hit the APC, hug against it as you attack, but don’t attack too many times in a row or else you’ll get stuck in a combo and it will be impossible to dodge the rocket. If you are having a lot of trouble with this one and just want to get it completed without caring about the objectives, keep in mind that The Joker basically only shoots the fast missiles whenever you are hugging the APC.
Mission 17. Evil Duo
“Batman has finally caught up with Joker and Harley again. This time stop the Evil Duo and send them back to Arkham!”
[ ] Apprehend Harley and Joker
[ ] Win using only Special Moves
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
After two gimmick levels involving these two, it’s refreshing to get a more traditional fight going. This is just two fights in a row, one featuring The Joker and the other featuring Harley Quinn.
Mission 18. Cat Nap
“While tracking Catwoman to a heist, Batman came upon an injured guard. Protect him by deflecting rockets with Batman’s Parry.”
[ ] Save the guard and stop Catwoman
[ ] Reflect the rocket at the last second
[ ] Don’t miss a Parry
Interestingly enough, the first and third stars are actually dependent on each other. You can’t not save the guard and miss a parry. The on-screen combo will tell you how to perform Batman’s Parry move, but the full Injustice guide will help you out with Batman’s move-set as well if you need to have system-specific references. Anyway, the tricky part will be reflecting the rocket at the last second, but with a little practice, you’ll be able to pull it off without too much trouble. Hell, I wound up doing it by complete accident the very first time I tried out this mission, so maybe you will have similar good fortune.
Mission 19. Heli-Battle
“Lex is trying to fly convicts out of prison. Defeat the soldiers while avoiding helicopter gunfire, and then pick up a missile to take it down.”
[ ] Destroy the helicopter
[ ] Survive 8 seconds while fighting the guards without getting hit
[ ] Execute a combo greater than 20%
The “survive 8 seconds while fighting the guards without getting hit” objective may confuse some due to the wording. You don’t have to survive 8 seconds right off the bat (ha, “bat”), just go 8 seconds without taking damage. With the helicopter flying around in the background, constantly firing machineguns at you, this is easier said than done. This mission is separated into two waves. The first wave is where you just fight a series of guards that are coming at you. When they’re defeated, you will be able to grab a rocket launcher and use it on the helicopter. This is the tough part. The helicopter is firing machineguns at a very fast rate, so you have to move QUICK to pick up the rocket without the helicopter making you drop it. Grab it as fast as you can as soon as the helicopter starts firing and immediately fire. Don’t worry about trying to line up the shot, because the rocket will automatically gravitate to the helicopter anyways.
Mission 20. Dark Night Vision
“Bane, the last of the Arkham escapees, has shut down the power. Batman’s night vision is fragile, so be careful not to get hit.”
[ ] Apprehend Bane
[ ] Win with a throw
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
To make sure you never reach the maximum Super Meter, constantly drain your Super Meter with Special Moves. Refer to the move-list guide posted at the top of this one for more information about that and Batman’s specific “meter burns”. Otherwise, this is just a normal fight, except with (of course) a gimmick thrown in. The gimmick in this fight is that Bane has turned off the lights, so it is pitch-black in the room. Luckily Batman has night vision goggles. Unluckily, one hit from Bane makes them deactivate for a brief period if time, but Bane will still be able to see you perfectly. It actually doesn’t make the fight that much tougher, but it is certainly a wrench thrown into the operation, if you will.

——————————–
3. CATWOMAN
——————————–
Mission 21. Cat Burglar
“Knock out the museum guards to access the roof by completing the list of displayed moves.”
[ ] Sharpen your skills
[ ] and a 10 hit Combo
[ ] Land 10 Low Attacks
Once again, just an introductory mission.
Mission 22. Avoid The Lights
“In order to gain access into the museum Catwoman must avoid the moving spotlights and destroy the air vent.”
[ ] Break into the museum
[ ] Don’t move backwards
[ ] Complete the path backwards
Now, this one can be a real pain. If you even slightly step into the spotlight, then the mission is failed. The trick is to dash past the first three, and then watch the final spotlight as it rotates around the stage. At the one moment, you then need to lunge forward and dash to the air vent.
Mission 23. Isis
“Use Isis to sneak past the guards in order to obtain information on the location of the Batcave.”
[ ] Reach the end of the museum
[ ] Don’t move backwards
[ ] Meow 25 times
In this mission, you actually control Catwoman’s cat Isis. Your goal here is to make it to the far right part of the stage, from the far left. You have to jump over the lasers and avoid the flashlights of the guards. The guards seem to randomly use their flashlights. Your best bet is to just try to jump by them and get as far away from their flashlight as possible. It’s good to wait until they are far to the left, or at least in the middle, before doing this so that you have room to get to the other side without having to worry about getting caught by the flashlight. To meow, just mash on the face buttons. You can get this done with right at the start if you want, or wait until you get to the very end just in case you lose and don’t want to mash on the buttons over and over again.
Mission 24. Rumble In The Museum
“Using Catwoman’s nimble reflexes, defeat 20 guards in under 40 seconds before the alarm goes off.”
[ ] Defeat the guards
[ ] Win without dashing
[ ] Flawless Victory
These guards have very little health, and basically one hit will defeat them.
Mission 25. Safe Cracker
“The museum break-in led Catwoman to a safe at Wayne Manor. Hit Wayne’s safe to crack it open within 30 seconds.”
[ ] Break into the safe
[ ] Break into the safe using only Light Attacks
[ ] Win with more than 15 seconds remaining
There are no hazards to worry about here. Just run up and mash on buttons and hit combos to damage the safe.
Mission 26. Bloodletting
“Catwoman was injured opening the safe containing the Batcave map. Complete the list of moves in the tracker before you pass out from blood loss.”
[ ] Complete the listed moves
[ ] Complete the list in order
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
Catwoman will constantly have her health drained here due to blood loss. So, not only do you have to worry about that, but you also have to worry about fighting Nightwing as well, and he can become a real pain due to his staff. If you are having an especially hard time with this one, don’t worry about doing the moves in order until you have a better handle on Catwoman’s attacks.
Mission 27. Batters Up
“Catwoman has finally found the Batcave, but bats are attacking! Kill the bats, but be sure not to get hit five times.”
[ ] Stop the bats
[ ] Don’t get hit by any bats
[ ] Hit the red bat
Bats will fly in from the right side of the screen in waves. Keep an eye out for the red bat, because it will appear in one of the waves at random. To damage the bats, you just have to hit them with any of your attacks. As the bats increase in number, I found it easier to jump and attack at the same time.
Mission 28. Cat’s Eye
“Nightwing should know better than to fight a cat in the dark. Use your goggles’ night vision to defeat Nightwing.”
[ ] Defeat Nightwing with the lights out
[ ] Destroy the Batrobot
[ ] Win with a Level Transition
The gimmick here is that the screen will have an orange tint to it due to Catwoman’s goggles, but otherwise there’s not much new. The Batrobot is at the far left of the stage, and to break it you need to perform moves in front of it. Once that’s destroyed, you can send Nightwing through the Batcave with a Level Transition easily enough.
Mission 29. Going Up?
“Navigate Catwoman through the security system of lasers and traps in order to reach the Batcave’s elevator.”
[ ] Reach the elevator
[ ] Complete the path backwards
[ ] Win without jumping
This one drove me absolutely insane, but hopefully you have better luck. Basically, there are laser grids on the ground that appear and disappear. You need to wait for them to disappear, and time it so you can dash through the lasers. I found it was actually harder if I tried jumping through here, so at least one of those secondary stars will be easy enough to achieve. You also need to watch out for spotlights, but I found the spotlights here were much easier to bypass than the ones on the roof from the earlier mission.
Mission 30. The Getaway
“Catwoman has finally located the Batmobile. Defeat both Nightwing and Batman, then activate the switch to release your prize.”
[ ] Steal the Batmobile
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Throw 6 times
You have to fight Nightwing and then Batman right in a row. Defeat Nightwing, and then focus on Batman. Spread your throws between the two fighters so that it doesn’t become too tedious, and check to see if you’ve accomplished it every once in a while by pressing the “back” button (select on PS3). When Batman is nearly defeated, you will have to get to the Batmobile and press the big red button that usually fires the missiles. Instead of firing missiles, Catwoman will escape with the Batmobile.

4. THE FLASH
——————————–
Mission 31. Sparks
“You must act quickly to stop Lex, but he’s sent Deathstroke to slow you down. Attack him with the moves listed above to get by him, and back to your mission!”
[ ] Work on your skills
[ ] Complete without missing a move
[ ] Land a 6 Hit Juggle Combo
You know the drill by now.
Mission 32. The Scarlet Speedster
“Grundy is destroying Metropolis to distract Flash. Save humans by pressing RB near them before they get crushed by falling debris.”
[ ] Defeat Grundy
[ ] Get 10 citizens to safety
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
Only a few citizens can be crushed by debris before you get a mission failure. Whenever you see a citizen, immediately press RB to save them. Keep an eye on the background all the while fighting Grundy. Flash’s superpower doesn’t help all that much in this situation, unfortunately, but do the best you can. You can hear the debris falling to the ground, and if you can’t see that debris falling on-screen, then you need to quickly get to the left or right to find where it is falling and save that civilian before they end up crushed.
Mission 33. Slow Down
“Another Roadblock! With only minutes until the bomb detonates, Grundy and Doomsday stand in your way. Use your Character Power to help defeat them.”
[ ] Defeat all villains
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Win with a Super Move
It’s amusing that the description of the level encourages you to use your Character Power to defeat them, but the stars challenge you to win without using the Character Power. This fight is pretty tough. Grundy and Doomsday are heavies, and Doomsday’s armor ability makes Flash’s attacks barely hurt at all. As long as you can get past Grundy with at least some of your first health bar, then you should still stand a fighting chance against Doomsday.
Mission 34. Race Around The World
“Race Superman around the globe to be the first to find info on Lex. Tap any button to fill the boost meter. When full press RT to boost.”
[ ] Get there first
[ ] Win by 50 laps
[ ] Use only 1 boost
Mash on the buttons to build up the meter. When the meter is full, you can still mash on the buttons to keep going around the world. Press RT (or R2 or the Wii U’s trigger, as relevant) to use the meter and get a significant speed boost. At that point, you will be able to refill the meter by button mashing once again.
Mission 35. Pressure Chamber
“The Watchtower has info on Luthor, but Doomsday is depressurizing the station! Flash must activate the switch on the left to close the airlock at the right time.”
[ ] Defeat Doomsday
[ ] Don’t lose any air
[ ] Use no Super Meter
Another fight with Doomsday. This mission does have an added gimmick to it, however. Not only do you have to fight Doomsday, but the oxygen will exit the area at certain times as well. When this happens, you have to hurry to the big red button at the far left of the stage and press it to re-pressurize the room so Flash doesn’t lose too much health.
Mission 36. When It Rains
“Lex has sent Black Adam to place detonators at Wayne Manor. Defeat your enemy while avoiding falling debris from Watchtower.”
[ ] Defeat Black Adam
[ ] Win with 30 or more seconds remaining
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
Quickly hit Black Adam right off the bat to get the first star out of the way. Then just beat him as quickly as possible. The falling debris is nothing you haven’t dealt with before.
Mission 37. Grundy Smash
“Grundy is trying to stop Flash from disarming Lex’s bombs. Avoid the rocks by using your Character Power to slow down time.”
[ ] Reach Grundy
[ ] Avoid 15 rocks
[ ] Don’t duck any rocks
Just hurry to Grundy. Jump over rocks and run under the ones he throws over your head.
Mission 38. Nicked
“Only Catwoman stands between you and Luthor! Flash will regain his Character Power when the timer hits zero – use it to even the odds.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Use your Character Power 4 times
This is another mission that will require you to play it at least two times to get all three stars. When the timer hits zero, you will be able to use your Character Power, though I personally find Flash’s Character Power useless and never bothered using it anyways. Obviously you can’t use it four times while also winning without using it, so you’ll have to jump into this mission a couple of times to take away all of the stars.
Mission 39. Locked On
“Stop Luthor from completing his evil plan. Eliminate Lex while avoiding the targeted laser strikes.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Win a Clash
You’ll be able to see laser strikes fire down on the area by the faded red line that appears for a brief second. Use this visual cue to dodge the lasers to the best of your ability.
Mission 40. Go Boom!
“Luthor is trying to slow you down by using experimental shield technology. When Luthor’s shield activates damage will be reflected back at the attacker.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Win without using Character Power
The purple shield that surrounds Lex will cause you to take damage whenever you attack him. Obviously, this isn’t a good situation. Whenever his shield is up, just avoid him completely until it goes back down and then resume attacking him.
To Top
——————————–
5. SHAZAM
——————————–
Mission 41. Strength Of Hercules
“Show Batman each of your moves at the top of the screen before starting the search for Black Adam.”
[ ] Become proficient with the powers of SHAZAM
[ ] Land a 6 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 40%
Once again, just do the moves at the top of the screen. I find Shazam to be a tough all-around character to play, so pay attention.
Mission 42. Power Of Zeus
“Black Adam cut all power to Ferris, which will meltdown unless restored. Shazam can restore power by standing near the generators until fully charged.”
[ ] Keep all 3 generators powered up
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
There are three generators lying around the stage. Simply stand next to them to power them up completely. Block a lot and hold your ground to power them up quickly. I crouched in front of the generators and just hit Adam whenever he got close.
Mission 43. Cloud Day
“Black Adam took out a contract on your life. Defeat Deathstroke while avoiding the lightning strikes, which will turn Shazam back into Billy Baston.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Execute a combo greater than 30%
[ ] Win without filling your Super Meter to full
Annoying lightning strikes will come down, and being hit by even one will cause you to lose the mission. Unless little Billy Baston can take on Deathstroke, but somehow I find that notion hard to swallow. Blue dust clouds will come off the ground at areas where the lightning will strike, so you know when to expect it.
Mission 44. Blood Bank
“Shazam and Lex have been infected with vampiric poison that regens health with each hit. Shazam is also bleeding out!”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Win a Clash
[ ] Win a Level Transition
Both you and Lex Luthor will regenerate health every single time you land a hit. However, you are constantly losing health as well, so you need to constantly be landing attacks on Lex to keep yourself from bleeding out and losing the mission. Also try to get that Level Transition in there to at least take away one extra star.
Mission 45. Can’t See Me
“Lex has brainwashed Cyborg and sent him after Shazam. Defeat a cloaked Cyborg and return to your search.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Cyborg is completely invisible for this mission, but you can always pretty much guess where he’s at due to the camera. Honestly, it doesn’t make the mission any harder. NetherRealm and Warner Bros. could’ve saved some money by making the entire roster invisible!
Mission 46. Wisdom Of Solomon
“Lex is assisting Black Adam in obtaining an ancient Egyptian artifact. Complete the list of moves on the right side of the screen before time runs out.”
[ ] Complete the listed moves
[ ] Complete the list in order
[ ] Win with 20 or more seconds remaining
Yup, another one of these. Just like with the Catwoman mission like this, only bother trying to complete the moves in order if you have a really good handle on Shazam’s move-set, otherwise you are going to be in for quite the frustrating experience.
Mission 47. Antarctic
“Catwoman is locked in Arkham, but is protecting Black Adam’s location. Penguin will attack the closest fighter to him with his umbrella.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Don’t get put to sleep
[ ] Get put to sleep 3 times
Penguin will constantly put the person that is closest to him asleep. Because of that, you will want to hug far left or far right parts of the stage so that Catwoman is the one that is constantly put asleep instead. Yet again, this is a mission that will require at least two go-throughs in order to get all the stars, because one star requires you to never be put to sleep and the other requires you to be put asleep three times. Talk about a Catch-22!
Mission 48. Mercury’s Speed
“Reports are coming of Black Adam attacking Gotham! No time to waste. Soar through the air while smashing through the rocks. Use LS to fly.”
[ ] Reach the max distance
[ ] Destroy 30 normal rocks
[ ] Destroy 75 normal rocks
Your goal here is to fly through the air and fly Shazam through the rocks. Simply control Shazam using the left analog stick and make him hit as many rocks as possible before you reach the end.
Mission 49. S H A Z A M
“You have finally caught up to Black Adam. Perform the higher damaging combo to receive one letter of SHAZAM. First to spell out SHAZAM wins.”
[ ] Spell SHAZAM first
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Use no Super Meter
If you are at all familiar with the basketball game HORSE, then you know what to expect here. You have to build a combo percentage higher than Black Adam’s each turn. The first one to spell “SHAZAM” will win the match. Practicing juggle combos is a good way to earn high percentages, plus simply mimicking Black Adam’s attacks is not a bad idea either.
Mission 50. Air Battle
“Black Adam has taken tot he air! Blast him with everything you got. LS controls flight, RT shoots, RS or hold LT + LS to control fire direction.”
[ ] Defeat Black Adam
[ ] Win with 10% health or less remaining
[ ] Destroy all Interactables
Instead of a traditional one-on-one battle with Black Adam, this is actually a really different style of fight. As Shazam, you will fly all around the area and you will be able to constantly attack Black Adam, though you need to avoid his beams as well.

6. BANE
——————————–
Mission 51. Body Builder
“Before Bane sets out to find more Venom, he must train. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Preserve your remaining supply of Venom
[ ] Land a 4 hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Land a 5 hit Combo
Use all of Bane’s moves. If I am remembering correctly, Bane is the first “heavy” character that you are using in S.T.A.R. Labs. Because of this, you will need to practice with him a bit to get a feel for his play style.
Mission 52. Zap Zap
“It seems that other villains are interested in the Venom as well. Defeat Harley while avoiding the lightning strikes.”
[ ] Defeat Harley
[ ] Win with a lightning strike
[ ] During a combo, have a lightning strike hit
Once again, lightning strikes have been added to bring a gimmick to this bout. Look for the dust coming up off the ground to have an idea where the lightning will hit.
Mission 53. Give Me Life
“While searching a cave for Venom, Bane was bit by a vampiric bat. Each hit that lands will regain a portion of health lost during the fight.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Use no Super Meter
Attacking Deathstroke will let you regain your own health. This mission is completely stacked in your favor. Just hit those 10 Special Moves (or spam the same one) and don’t use any Meter Burns or your LT+RT and you’ll be golden. As you can tell, Bane’s missions are actually quite easy to get all three stars, especially this one.
Mission 54. Stay Alive
“Bane is weakened and desperately needs more Venom, but Flash has been sent to protect the supply. Survive for 20 seconds without being hit by any attacks.”
[ ] Don’t get hit for 20 seconds
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Land 3 throws
This mission takes place at Wayne Manor. It provides yet another golden opportunity to easily get all three stars. First thing’s first, you’ll want to use an Interactive Object right away. There’s a red car at the left side of the stage you can use, or you can use the motorcycle on the right. Then it’s just a matter of surviving the 20 seconds. Bane’s throws actually eat away a nice portion of the clock, so go for them whenever possible.
Mission 55. Venom Rage
“Continually use Bane’s Character Power to regain life. Insufficient life regeneration will result in failure.”
[ ] Stay alive
[ ] Juice 20 times
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
Bane can juice with Venom up to three times before having to wait for it to recharge. You will only have one health bar here, and you need to use the Venom to heal Bane. Use all three Venom injections at once and then wail on your opponent until you are able to “juice” again to keep Bane alive. Obviously don’t waste the Venom if you are at full health or close there. Get your opponent down to a sliver of health, and then just jump around the stage and use the Venom to keep yourself fully healed until you have used it 20 times to satisfy that requirement.
Mission 56. Pulverize And Thrash
“You must retrieve more Venom. Defeat 20 Joker Thugs before time expires to get one step closer.”
[ ] Defeat the Joker Thugs
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
Just a single hit will defeat the Joker Thugs. If you don’t take any damage, then you will get another star. You can use that hanging pig corpse to satisfy the Interactive Object requirement, plus you can also use it to just keep baiting the thugs right into a death trap of you swinging the thing across the screen to take them out.
Mission 57. Ice Box
“Stop Doomsday from getting the last of the Venom. Fight Doomsday while avoiding the falling ice conjured by Killer Frost.”
[ ] Defeat Doomsday
[ ] Become frozen 10 times
[ ] Win a Clash
Ice falls from the sky and will freeze both you and Doomsday. Otherwise, it’s just a normal battle.
Mission 58. Fender-Bender
“Bane wants to keep Batman from being able to escape with the Venom. Destroy the Batmobile before time expires, and watch out for its defenses.”
[ ] Stop the Batmobile
[ ] Win with 10 seconds or more remaining
[ ] Make 12 rockets hit the Batmobile
This is kind of like the mission where you had to destroy the APC that Deathstroke was hiding inside, except with Bane and the Batmobile. The Batmobile will shoot flames from its side, and it’s kind of tough to gauge when that happens. Also keep an eye on the green lasers on the ground, as these indicate a missile strike. If you go clear to the left of the screen and then go right up hugging the Batmobile, then back up a bit, you can easily trick the missiles into damaging the Batmobile for you.
Mission 59. Juiced Up
“The lack of Venom is making Bane enraged! You have 15 seconds to defeat Nightwing and advance towards the Venom supply.”
[ ] Win before time runs out
[ ] Win without jumping
[ ] Win with a throw
This seems like an impossible task at first glance, but if you juice up, you can kill Nightwing with four punches.
Mission 60. Break The Bat
“You must weaken Batman and perform Bane’s Backbreaker. Defeat Batman to obtain the Venom you so badly need.”
[ ] Break the Bat
[ ] Break the Bat on your first try
[ ] Land a Level Transition
You don’t actually have to perform the Backbreaker to win this one. You just have to beat Batman. If Batman has about a quarter of health left, the combo for the backbreaker will come up on screen for you to perform if you want.
To Top
——————————–
7. HARLEY QUINN
——————————–
Mission 61. Best Served Cold
“Harley’s first stop to find answers begin with Batman. Execute each move at the top of the screen to reach the next location.”
[ ] Introduce Batman to your skills
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
[ ] Land 40 chest hits
Perform the moves as instructed.
Mission 62. High Noon
“If there was a contract on Joker, Deathstroke probably had it. Execute the command at the top of the screen just as time hits zero to outdraw Deathstroke.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Win all 5 exchanges
[ ] Shoot at the last second
I really enjoyed this mission. Basically, it’s a shoot-out against Deathstroke. The first one of you to shoot (down, right, X for Harley — and down, right, square on PS3…down, right, Y on Wii U) after the clock goes down will be able to damage the other one. Sometimes you have to fire off a couple of shots for it to land, however.
Mission 63. Deadshot
“Harley has been ambushed! Stay alive for 60 seconds while dodging incoming rockets and grenades.”
[ ] Stay alive for 60 seconds
[ ] Win without dashing
[ ] Win without jumping
Deadshot is a character that is not actually seen in the game, but he’s basically a super-talented assassin that can take hits from miles and miles away. I guess his sniper rifle just wasn’t good enough to take out Harley Quinn, though. Move to the left and right of the screen to avoid the missiles. The grenades pretty much always land in the same spot, but they will probably be the thing you need to watch out for, as the missiles are easily avoided. Don’t look at Harley, but rather keep your eyes on the sky, and you will have a much better shot at avoiding the incoming fire.
Mission 64. Two-Face
“Stop Catwoman and find the answers you’re looking for. Two-Face is on the scene, and will flip his coin to determine who he’ll shoot next.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Survive 15 seconds without being hit
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
Two-Face never actually even fired a shot when I played this mission, but if he does, it’s probably just like any other gimmick mission.
Mission 65. Thug’s Life
“Harley thinks a band of Joker’s thugs are behind Joker’s death. Stop enough of the joker thugs by pressing the correct button sequence.”
[ ] Stop the Joker thugs
[ ] Hit 16 Joker thugs
[ ] Perfect aim
A shooting gallery of Injustice-proportions. As each thug pops up, you have to input the combo fast enough to shoot them.
Mission 66. Side Splitting
“This Joker thug might have info. Shoot the pies and chattering teeth by pressing Y for high shot, X for mid-level shot, A for low shot.”
[ ] Stop the attacks
[ ] Don’t miss an object
[ ] Land a hit with less than 5 seconds left
Y (triangle on PS3, X on Wii U) will fire high, X (square on PS3, Y on Wii U) will fire medium, and A (X on PS3, B on Wii U) will fire at the chattering teeth on the ground. The teeth and the high pies are easy to shoot out of the air, but the medium pies are a pain. If there’s a bit of blue on the thug’s hands, that means he’s about to throw a pie, so just assume it’s a medium pie. If not, you will have time to recover and take it out of the air if it turns out to be a high pie.
Mission 67. Kisses!
“The last battle has left Harley injured and her health is depleting. Use your Character Power B to regain health. Contain Catwoman to get answers.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Perform 75 kisses
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Your health will constantly be draining, but Harley can keep regenerating her health by kissing the picture of The Joker. Press B and just mash on it to regenerate your health during the fight as you fight off Catwoman. Whenever you knock Catwoman down, take that opportunity to regenerate your health.
Mission 68. Cat Got Your Tongue
“Now that Harley has Catwoman alone she can finally get some answers. Press the correct buttons to keep both meters above the lines until time runs out.”
[ ] Complete the mission
[ ] Win with 1 full meter
[ ] Win without dropping below 25% stress
There will be a meter on the left side of the screen and a meter on the right side of the screen. Mash on the buttons below the meter simultaneously to build the meter and keep it above the threshold until the timer runs out.
Mission 69. Pipsqueak
“The trail has led Harley to Luthor, who has shrunk her down with an experimental weapon. Jump and slide to avoid the lasers while collecting cubes to weaken Lex’s defenses.”
[ ] Reach the end
[ ] Perform a slide 10 times
[ ] Collect all of the Nanocubes
Red lasers have to be jumped over and green lasers have to be slid under. The game will have on-screen control instructions for performing these moves.
Mission 70. Deception
“Luthor has the answers Harley is looking for! Get Lex to tell you why Joker faked his demise.”
[ ] Stop Lex
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
For the most part, this is just a typical battle with Lex Luthor, albeit with an added twist. He will shoot these big lightning cubes at Harley. The ones that are floating are easy to duck, but the ones coming right at you have to be jumped over. The trick is to move far back to the opposite side of the screen as far as you can go, and then move toward the cube and jump at the last second. You can’t hurt Lex while he’s shooting these cubes because he has a force field protecting him from danger.
To Top
——————————–
8. DEATHSTROKE
——————————–
Mission 71. Trained Professional
“Deathstroke wants to test his skills before his next contract. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Learn your trade
[ ] Land a 6 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
Learn Deathstroke’s moves by performing the combos shown at the top of the screen.
Mission 72. Never Enough
“Hold A to fire a grenade at Green Arrow. Each shot is affected by wind. The longer you hold, the more powerful the shot.”
[ ] Defeat Green Arrow
[ ] Hit with first shot
[ ] Don’t miss
The number in the middle of the screen tells you the wind resistance. Play around with this to get a good feel of how much the bar needs filled for you to land a shot on Green Arrow. Hold A and then release it to fill the bar. Release it when it is at the right amount that you think you’ll need to land a shot on Green Arrow. The first one to get hit five times loses.
Mission 73. Assassin’s Strike
“Deathstroke must progress past the rock trap. Slice incoming rocks by pressing Y for high swing, A for low swing.”
[ ] Slice the rocks
[ ] Don’t miss a rock
[ ] Swing 75 times
Hit the rocks coming in from above with a high swing, and the ones coming in low with a low swing. Don’t jump the gun on the rocks, you do have to kind of wait a bit for them to get close enough before you can successfully slice through one.
Mission 74. Burn With Me
“Another day, another target to eliminate. Time your movements carefully to avoid the erupting fire.”
[ ] Defeat Harley
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Win without jumping
Fire will show up on the ground as an added hazard, but it’s easily dodged. Otherwise, just focus on beating Harley.
Mission 75. Bomb, Shield, And Sword
“Bomb beats Sword, Shield beats Bomb, Sword beats Shield. Press X for Bomb, Y for Shield, and A for Sword.”
[ ] Win best out of 5
[ ] Perfect score
[ ] Tie 5 times
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Except with bombs, swords, and shields. This is just a guessing game, but if you find your opponent constantly making the same choice, then I found the AI will get stuck and keep making that same choice until it either hits you or you hit them.
Mission 76. Target Acquired
“Lex is trying to stop you from completing your contract. Eliminate Green Lantern while avoiding the targeted laser strikes.”
[ ] Defeat Green Lantern
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
Avoid the lasers and lay into Green Lantern. You’ll be able to tell when the lasers are going to strike the same way that you did earlier.
Mission 77. Pipe Bomb
“You must get past the pipes to get to your contract. Press the corresponding button on-screen to shoot a bomb at a selected pipe. Time your shot when steam is not present.”
[ ] Hit the pipes
[ ] Don’t miss a bomb
[ ] Hit the fire
You have to fire into the pipes when there’s no steam coming out of them. That’s all there is to it. Shoot a bomb at the fire to complete an extra objective and earn an extra star.
Mission 78. Laser Targeting
“In order to fulfill your contract on Bane, you must battle him while avoiding the laser hazards triggered by Luthor’s men.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Get hit by 10 lasers
[ ] Hit Bane with 10 lasers
Another laser-centric battle.
Mission 79. Now You See Me
“Deathstroke has located his next two targets. Eliminate Cyborg and Lex while their cloaking devices are active.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg and Lex
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Win with a Super Move
First you have to fight an invisible Cyborg (again). Upon beating invisible Cyborg, you will have to fight an invisible Lex, though he only has one health bar. As long as you keep an eye on his health bar, it’s easy to get all three stars here. It just requires you to get the first hit and win with a Super Move.
Mission 80. Eagle Eye
“Lex isn’t getting away this time! When he launches his missiles into the air, press RT to destroy them before causing additional damage.”
[ ] Stop Lex
[ ] Hit all missiles
[ ] Win without using combos
This is mostly just a regular fight with Lex, except he will sometimes call missiles down on you. This will take you to the scope of Deathstroke’s gun. As soon as a missile flies within the middle of the cursor, press RT to shoot it.
To Top
——————————–
9. GREEN ARROW
——————————–
Mission 81. The Emerald Archer
“Green Arrow wants to train before fulfilling his father’s dying wish. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Follow through with your skills
[ ] Land a 8 Hit Combo
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
Do as it says.
Mission 82. White Out
“Time to cross Lex’s name off the list. You have been blinded by a flash grenade take down Lex while your vision is impaired.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Win with a Level Transition
It’s kind of hard to see what’s going on because Green Arrow’s vision is impaired during this fight, but otherwise it’s really easy to get all three stars here. Just avoid Lex to cross off the second objective and then make sure you win with a Level Transition at the end of the fight.
Mission 83. Crowd Control
“Green Arrow has tracked a group of corrupt police officers from the list. Shoot the correct arrows at the oncoming color-coded officers.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Don’t use the wrong arrow type
[ ] Use wrong arrow type 3 times
There are three different arrow types: fire, electric, and ice. The game will tell you which arrow you need to equip at the top of the screen for the next enemy that is about to charge you. This is a mission that will require multiple playthroughs to get all the stars, because there’s a star for never using the wrong arrow type (easily done thanks to the fact that the game straight-up tells you the exact button combination for each arrow you need right before you need it), and one for purposely using the wrong arrow type three times.
Mission 84. Sea King
“Aquaman has been brainwashed and only Green Arrow can stop him. While underwater your movements will be slower.”
[ ] Defeat Aquaman
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Win with a throw
This is just a normal fight with Aquaman, albeit the stage is under water. While underwater, your movements are much slower than normal.
Mission 85. Big Shot
“Merlyn is impersonating Green Arrow. Hold A to shoot at him. Each shot is affected by wind. The longer you hold the more powerful the shot.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Land the first hit
[ ] Don’t miss
Remember that mini-game with Deathstroke earlier in which you held A to fill up a meter, and then released “A” at the right time to throw the grenade, taking account for wind resistance? That’s the same idea here, except with Green Arrow. It also takes less hits to win this one.
Mission 86. Sharpshooter
“Press the correct buttons to stop the robot soldiers. This elite force is protecting those in the black book. Stop at least 13 robots.”
[ ] Hit 13 targets to progress
[ ] Hit 16 targets
[ ] Perfect score
Another shooting gallery. Robots will pop up out of the background and you have to hit the proper button combination to take them out. Be quick about it.
Mission 87. Glass House
“Killer Frost, number six in the black book, has set off a cave-in in the Batcave. Be careful of your attacks or your might accelerate the damage.”
[ ] Survive the collapse
[ ] Win with a Super Move
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
If you don’t defeat Killer Frost fast enough, the ceiling will collapse and you will lose. Also, the debris becomes more intense the harder you hit Killer Frost. Keeping your distance and using your bow is a great strategy for this fight, because then you will have much more room to avoid the debris.
Mission 88. The Harder They Fall
“According to the list, Green Arrow must put an end to Sinestro. Over the course of the fight he will become power powerful.”
[ ] Defeat Sinestro
[ ] Land a Level Transition
[ ] Win before Sinestro reaches his max difficulty
Every 10 seconds or so, Sinestro will become more difficult to fight. It’s actually not that hard to defeat him before he reaches max difficulty, because he starts at the lowest difficulty. It’s at this time that you can basically destroy him with next to zero opposition to worry about.
Mission 89. Aim High
“As the falling rocks plummet run over to their corresponding locations and shoot upwards to destroy them.”
[ ] Destroy the rocks
[ ] Don’t whiff with an arrow
[ ] Don’t get hit
Keep an eye on the sky as large rocks are falling to the ground. Dash to get around the rooftop quickly. You have to destroy at least 20 rocks. Jumping is not advised as it is more likely you will just wind up jumping straight into a boulder rather than jumping and landing where you need to be underneath the boulder.
Mission 90. Broken Arrow
“If Bane inflicts too much damage, Green Arrow will drop his bow. Pick it back up, and regain your abilities, by pressing RB.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
This is just a normal fight with Bane, albeit with an added gimmick on top. The added gimmick here is that when Bane hits you hard enough, Green Arrow will drop his bow. Without the bow, Green Arrow is useless, and you can’t do anything until you retrieve the bow. Be sure to watch which side of the screen the bow is knocked to, and then try your best to jump over Bane to quickly retrieve the bow and resume the fight.
——————————–
10. LEX LUTHOR
——————————–
Mission 91. Suit Up
“Security is manufacturing! Lex must navigate past security lasers and drones to reach his power suit.”
[ ] Locate Lex’s Armor
[ ] Don’t get hit
[ ] Jump 20 times
Just jump 20 times right off the bat to get it out of the way. Be conservative if you don’t want to get hit it. The trick is to listen to the sounds the lasers make. It’s kind of like a platforming rhythm game in a sense. At any rate, make it to the left side of the stage by dodging the lasers. It’s possible to straight-up just dash through everything and come out relatively unscathed.
Mission 92. Enter Lex
“Luthor must train with his new powersuit before his mission to Atlantis. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] See what the power suit can do
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Throw 6 times
Instead of the combo practicing being the first mission, it’s the second mission. Proceed as normal.
Mission 93. There And Back Again
“Cyborg has been sent to defeat Lex before he reaches Atlantis. Use LS to move your energy shield to deflect Cyborg’s bouncing rockets.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Score the first point
[ ] Perfect score
Pong! This is just a glorified game of Pong. Good luck. Remember the trick to Pong is to flick your shield INTO the ball, as opposed to just holding it in a position to try to bounce the ball back.
Mission 94. Orb Malfunction
“Lex’s plan to take Atlantis interferes with Killer Frost’s desire to freeze the planet. Her cold presence causes Lex’s orbs to malfunction and attack Lex every 10 seconds.”
[ ] Defeat Killer Frost
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Win with a Super Move
A normal fight with Killer Frost, but with an added, annoying, twist. Robotic orbs float around the area and will periodically zap and damage you.
Mission 95. Pulling The Trigger
“Malfunctioning orbs are attacking Lex. Shoot at the orbs by pressing the correct button on-screen. Stop at least 13 orbs to advance.”
[ ] Hit 13 targets to progress
[ ] Hit 16 targets
[ ] Perfect score
Shooting gallery, but with orbs. Do what you did for the other shooting galleries, though this one is actually the easiest.
Mission 96. Burn The Evidence
“Defeat the enemies to recover pieces of evidence that would expose Lex’s plan. Press RB when near the fireplace to burn each piece of evidence.”
[ ] Destroy every piece of evidence
[ ] Collect all pieces of evidence before burning
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Punch the soldier to get the evidence. Hit him with an uppercut or something to knock him back and then walk over the file on the ground to collect it. Once you have all the evidence, go to the fireplace at the far left part of the stage and mash on RB to burn it. Tilt the left analog stick away from the soldier so that you can block his attacks if he tries to disrupt the paper burning.
Mission 97. Lantern’s Defense
“Green Lantern will do everything in his power to keep Lex from Atlantis. Over the course of the fight he will become more powerful.”
[ ] Defeat Green Lantern
[ ] Win before Green Lantern reaches his max difficulty
[ ] Win a Clash
This is just like the Green Arrow/Black Adam fight from earlier, except with Green Lantern (and Lex Luthor, obviously).
Mission 98. Air Strike
“In order to reach Atlantis you must first weaken the outer defenses. Press the on-screen to destroy each target. Destroy 25 mines to progress.”
[ ] Stop 25 mines
[ ] Stop 40 mines
[ ] Stop 50 mines
There are four different areas, each governed by a button press. This is just glorified whack-a-mole. Even if you take the maximum amount of hits, all this means is that Luthor will stop and recover from the damage momentarily, which just means you’ll have less time to destroy all the mines.
Mission 99. Go Deep
“It is time for Lex’s assault! Avoid depth charges while diving to reach Atlantis. Collect air bubbles to fill your oxygen meter.”
[ ] Reach Atlantis
[ ] Avoid all depth charges
[ ] Collect 20 air bubbles
Collecting the air bubbles is imperative to success here. Obviously you’ll want to avoid the mines, but go out of your way to get those bubbles. It’s super-easy to run out of air during this part.
Mission 100. Big Fish
“Defeat Aquaman while he is powered up to take Atlantis. Your movements will be slower underwater.”
[ ] Defeat Aquaman
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Once again, this is just like the earlier fight that Green Arrow had with Aquaman, with your movements being made slower because the fight takes place underwater.
——————————–
11. NIGHTWING
——————————–
Mission 101. Wake Up Tied Up
“Break free from the gurney by using the displayed button commands. Once free, defeat your captors by executing the moves at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Break free and defeat the guards
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
[ ] Throw twice
Nightwing’s introductory mission is kind of like Luthor’s in the sense that it’s not the traditional one we’ve come to expect from these S.T.A.R. Labs Missions. First you have to mash on the three buttons on the screen to break free, and then you have to go through the combos listed on top of the screen as normal. Throw in a couple of throws to snag an extra star as well.
Mission 102. Hide And Seek
“Now that Nightwing has escaped his confines. Use your night vision to navigate past the security lasers. You have 40 seconds to reach the end.”
[ ] Reach the end
[ ] Win with 20 or more seconds remaining
[ ] Win with 10 or more seconds remaining
Press RT to activate your night vision. This will allow you to see the laser grid. Try to memorize where the laser grids are ahead of you, and keep an eye out for the spotlights. The spotlight areas are ones you’ll want to get by quickly, so use visual clues in the foreground to keep track of where the laser grids are, because your night vision does have to recharge.
Mission 103. Bad Gas
“Standing within Grundy’s gas cloud causes Nightwing damage. Defeat Grundy as the gas cloud grows over time until the screen is covered.”
[ ] Defeat Grundy
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
Press B right off the bat so Nightwing uses his long staff. This staff will be needed because you can’t be close to Grundy. Being close to Grundy will drain Nightwing’s health.
Mission 104. Dead Man’s Hand
“Grundy is back for more defeat him while avoiding the Swamp Hands. The Swamp Hands can be destroyed with Nightwing’s projectile attacks.”
[ ] Defeat Grundy
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Destroy 10 Swamp Hands
This is yet another fight with Grundy, but with the added gimmick of “swamp hands” rising from the ground and grabbing you. You can destroy them or ignore them.
Mission 105. Sticks Of Fury
“Show Bane who’s the boss by landing 50 hits on him before time expires.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
You don’t have to actually fight Bane like normal, but rather just wail on him until you’ve hit him enough times. Nightwing is very fast, so don’t worry about the time running out. It should really be a non-factor.
Mission 106. Freezer Burn
“Killer Frost has conjured an ice storm. Defeat her while avoiding the falling ice.”
[ ] Defeat Killer Frost
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Win a Clash
Another falling ice battle. You’ll fight Killer Frost, and if the ice hits you or Killer Frost, the two of you will wind up frozen in place, but just momentarily.
Mission 107. Paint This
“Sinestro and Raven team up to take down Wayne Manor. Nightwing must stop Sinestro while avoiding incoming projectiles thrown by Raven.”
[ ] Defeat Sinestro
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Hit 10 times to the head
Raven is the gimmick here. Otherwise, it’s just a typical fight with Sinestro. Most of Nightwing’s attacks are attacks to the head, so don’t fret about satisfying that particular requirement.
Mission 108. Look Out!
“Use night vision to navigate past the security lasers and watch out for the guards. You have 60 seconds to reach the end.”
[ ] Reach the end
[ ] Win with 20 or more seconds remaining
[ ] Win with 10 or more seconds remaining
This is a repeat of the laser grid-style platforming from before, but with guards added as an added annoyance.
Mission 109. Just Add Water
“While underwater Nightwing’s movements will be slower. Aquaman fights at normal speed.”
[ ] Defeat Aquaman
[ ] Win with a throw
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
The third fight with Aquaman in which your movements are restricted due to the water.
Mission 110. That’s The Bomb
“Defeat Raven while she is in Demon stance.”
[ ] Defeat Raven
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Perform an 8 hit Juggle Combo
Raven is super-powered here, but otherwise it’s just a normal fight with her. Yeah, Nightwing’s missions aren’t very exciting.
——————————–
12. GREEN LANTERN
——————————–
Mission 111. Shine Bright
“Before Green Lantern sets out on his hunt for Sinestro, he must train. Execute the moves at the top of screen.”
[ ] Become acquainted with your green Power Ring
[ ] Land a 15 Hit Combo
[ ] Hit 20 times to the legs
I like to move it, move it.
Mission 112. Armageddon
“Use the correct button commands to shoot down approaching meteors. Large meteors require you to mash all buttons.”
[ ] Save the Earth from doom
[ ] Don’t miss a rock
[ ] Allow 5 rocks to come close
Whack-a-mole in space. Hit the buttons repeatedly to blast the meteors before they can hit the Earth. Button mashing is a viable strategy here.
Mission 113. Scarecrow
“Deathstroke has a contract to protect Sinestro from Hal, and has allied himself with Scarecrow. Stop them before the madness overcomes Hal.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
Annoying Scarecrow nonsense like before, otherwise just a normal fight with Deathstroke.
Mission 114. Headache
“Luthor has taken control over Doomsday. Perform enough head attacks to break Doomsday free from Lex’s strings.”
[ ] Break the mind control
[ ] Survive 15 seconds without being hit
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
You don’t actually have to fight Doomsday, just keep attacking his head (this will come easily enough simply by hitting him with normal attacks and combos) until you have done so enough times.
Mission 115. None Shall Pass
“Green Lantern has come across Bane for the last time. Defeat him while avoiding exploding floor fires conjured by Raven.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Don’t get hit by the explosions
[ ] Use an explosion in a combo
Yay, the exploding floor fires return. Same strategy as always with these gimmick fights.
Mission 116. Frozen Skies
“Killer Frost has conjured an ice storm. Defeat her while avoiding the ice shards. An unknown force has sped up your movement.”
[ ] Defeat Killer Frost
[ ] Win a Clash
[ ] Don’t get hit by 5 falling ice blocks
Avoid the ice, beat Frost. Simple enough. This time the ice won’t freeze you, though, but rather it will just damage you.
Mission 117. Kilowog
“Kilowog has arrived to help Green Lantern. When near Kilowog press RB and he will deliver a powerful attack.”
[ ] Defeat The Joker
[ ] Don’t use Kilowog
[ ] Throw 6 times
Kilowog can be called upon by pressing RB, which makes the fight incredibly easy, but if you use him, you won’t be able to get all three stars. If you’re not worried about getting all the stars, then spam Kilowog to just teat through Joker. Otherwise, get Joker away from Kilowog (to avoid accidentally using him), and then fight him like normal, sneaking in the six throws throughout the fight.
Mission 118. Outfield
“Defend against Sinestro’s constructs coming from the air. Swing at constructs by pressing Y for high swing, A for low sing.”
[ ] Swing at the constructs
[ ] Don’t miss a construct
[ ] Swing 85 times
Another mission like the Deathstroke boulder slice. Except with magic space rings. Have at it.
Mission 119. Green Lantern’s Light
“Use all of your might to defeat Sinestro! Once Sinestro’s health is low, execute the commands to overpower him.”
[ ] Win the ring battle
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
First, it’s just a normal battle with Sinestro. Once he has about a quarter of health left, it turns into a button mashing contest between the two of you. This button mashing is very easy to win.
Mission 120. Ultimate Battle
“Sinestro has taken to the air. Blast him with everything you can. LS Controls flight, RT Shoots, RS or hold LT + LS to Control fire direction.”
[ ] Defeat Sinestro
[ ] Win with 10% health or less remaining
[ ] Destroy all Interactables
Shazam vs. Black Adam all over again, except replace Black Adam for Sinestro and Shazam for Green Lantern.
——————————–
13. CYBORG
——————————–
Mission 121. Rebirth
“Pick up weapons to gain Special Moves to add to Cyborg’s arsenal. All Special Moves have been disabled.”
[ ] Defeat Raven
[ ] connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Win without picking up a weapon
Weapons are littered around the stage. Picking up these weapons will allow you to use Special Moves. If you ignore them, you can still fight, but all of Cyborg’s Special Moves will be disabled.
Mission 122. Training Camp
“Execute each move at the top of the screen in an attempt to gain control of your abilities.”
[ ] Learn your new abilities
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 40%
Typical tutorial mission.
Mission 123. Sprung A Leak
“The strain on your new abilities has caused some side effects. Defeat Grundy before Cyborg drains of fluids.”
[ ] Defeat Grundy
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Oil will be flying out of Cyborg the entire time. It’s just a fancy way of doing another mission in which your health is constantly drained during the battle.
Mission 124. What Is Your Malfunction
“Cyborg is malfunctioning and his controls are not responding correctly. Defeat Bane with Cyborg’s controls reversed.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
Left analog stick button input is backwards, but everything else is normal.
Mission 125. Broken Legs
“The electrified floor defense mechanism has disabled Cyborg’s jumping capabilities. Use Cyborg’s grapple move to avoid the electricity.”
[ ] Stop Lex
[ ] Win a Clash
[ ] Win with a throw
I found this one to be incredibly annoying. You need to master Cyborg’s grappling ability to avoid being electrocuted, and the electricity will zap the floor every time the timer at the top of the screen counts down. To make matters worse, you can’t jump at all.
Mission 126. Rocket! Rocket!
“Lex Luthor, the brains behind your attempted kidnapping, has sent waves of missiles towards you. 7 hits results in failure so try to avoid them.”
[ ] Avoid the rockets
[ ] Don’t get hit by a rocket
[ ] Win with one chance remaining
Avoid the rockets. Really all there is to it.
Mission 127. Need A Nurse
“The last battle strained Cyborg’s systems and damaged his life support. Use your Character Power B to regain health.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Win with full health
[ ] Win without using Character Power
Remember that Harley Quinn mission where you could mash B to regain your health? This is the exact same thing, except with Cyborg.
Mission 128. Error Macro
“Destroy Luthor’s ‘Defense System 01′ prototype robot before it powers up. Be careful, as Lex is attacking you with lasers from a safe location.”
[ ] Destroy Defense System 01
[ ] Win with 5 seconds or less remaining
[ ] Win with 10 seconds or more remaining
Run up and attack the big robot. Keep an eye on the green cursor on the ground, because that indicates a missile strike headed your way, courtesy of Lex Luthor.
Mission 129. Luthor Beatdown
“With Cyborg back to full power, he must defeat Lex while performing the moves listed in the tracker before time runs out.”
[ ] Complete the listed moves
[ ] Complete the list in order
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
Another one of the missions where you just do the moves and will be rewarded for doing them in order.
Mission 130. Injustice For All
“The Justice League is impressed with your skills in defeating Luthor. Show them what you are made of.”
[ ] Impress the Justice League
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Execute a combo greater than 40%
Okay, this will be pretty tough, but it’s just a bunch of fights in a row against Justice League members. Normal fights, no gimmicks, but having to fight multiple opponents right in a row can be quite the challenge, as you’ve probably discovered before.
——————————–
14. HAWKGIRL
——————————–
Mission 131. Hawks Nest
“Hawkgirl wants to train before heading out to face Luthor. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Mold your Thanagarian combat skills
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
Hawkgirl tutorial.
Mission 132. High Tension
“Luthor has captured Cyborg and mind controlled him to protect his secret. Lex’s security system is active, so jump to avoid the electric floor.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Don’t get electrocuted by the floor
[ ] Win a Clash
Jump when the timer reaches zero to avoid being hit by the electricity. You can also press B to make Hawkgirl fly and simply fly over the electricity and avoid it really ever becoming a factor in the fight.
Mission 133. Can Opener
“Hawkgirl has retrieved Cyborg, but she can’t wait until his cybernetics are repaired. Press the correct buttons to keep the 4 meters above the lines to get answers.”
[ ] Complete the mission
[ ] Win with 1 full meter
[ ] Keep all meters above the line
Mash on all the face buttons.
Mission 134. Scared Hawk
“Bane has teamed up with Scarecrow to stop Hawkgirl. Defeat Bane before the madness overcomes Hawkgirl.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Land a 30% combo
[ ] Throw 6 times
Another Scarecrow mission. For more information on how Scarecrow will effect the fight, please refer to my earlier write-ups on those missions. Though I can’t imagine you’ll be this far without having at least attempted a Scarecrow mission already.
Mission 135. Soaring Hawk
“There is a crisis in Gotham! Hawkgirl must get there as quickly as possible. Soar through the air while smashing through the rocks. Use LS to fly.”
[ ] Reach the max distance
[ ] Destroy 30 normal rocks
[ ] Destroy 75 normal rocks
An exact copy of an earlier mission, except with Hawkgirl. You should know the drill by now. Avoid the rocks that are on fire and smash through the regular ones, no matter what their size.
Mission 136. Falling Mace
“Deathstroke has been hired to stop Hawkgirl. If too much damage is inflicted, she will drop her mace. Press RB to regain your abilities.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Once again, another Hawkgirl mission that is just a re-skinned version of a previous mission. This is exactly like the Green Arrow mission with Bane, except this time Hawkgirl can drop her mace. Go pick it up, just as you did when you were Green Arrow dropping his bow.
Mission 137. Distress Call
“A distress call has gone out from Watchtower! Reach the station by flying upward while avoiding the falling rocks. Use LS to fly.”
[ ] Complete the mission
[ ] Win with one hit remaining
[ ] Win without getting hit
This is like the missions a couple of missions back, except it is vertical instead of horizontal, and you want to avoid the rocks like the plague. You can fail the mission by hitting too many rocks, so avoid them to the best of your ability.
Mission 138. Fortitude
“Hawkgirl has arrived just in time at the Watchtower. Stop each of the evil invaders before it’s too late.”
[ ] Defeat everyone
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Win with 10% health or less remaining
Fight off all the enemies that are at the Watchtower right in a row. They will only have their second health bar, so it shouldn’t be too demanding.
Mission 139. The Power of Nth
“Luthor has promised Ares a weapon made of Nth if he helps him defeat Hawkgirl. Complete the list of moves in the tracker before time expires to obtain Luthor’s whereabouts.”
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Win without flying
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
Do the moves as listed.
Mission 140. Major Damage
“If too much damage is inflicted, Luthor will activate his special Satlaser. Continuously attack him to interrupt the attack.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Win without getting hit by a laser strike
[ ] Use no Super Meter
A normal fight with Lex Luthor, for the most part. A slight gimmick is added in that if you damage Luthor too much, he will use a satellite to hit you with a laser, but you can interrupt him calling the satellite by continuing to wail on him.
——————————–
15. THE JOKER
——————————–
Mission 141. Joker’s Wild
“Joker has made his way out of his cell and is ready to get back to his old tricks. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Retain your sense of humor
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
Tutorial mission.
Mission 142. Riddle Me This
“Nightwing has caught wind of Joker’s escape from Arkham. Each question mark the Riddler drops will contain a random effect.”
[ ] Defeat Nightwing
[ ] Pick up 10 Question Marks
[ ] Win without using combos
Finally, a new background character to influence the fight! The Riddler will hang out in the background and toss big green “?”. Touch them to pick them up and you’ll either gain an ability, or a negative effect. Your opponent can pick these power-ups up as well.
Mission 143. Heart Broken
“Harley is trying to get in on Joker’s fun! Over the course of the fight she will become more angry.”
[ ] Defeat Harley
[ ] Throw twice
[ ] Win after Harley reaches her max difficulty
Yet again, we come to a mission that is a carbon copy of previous missions. Harley will start at the lowest difficulty, but by the end of the fight, she will be at the highest difficulty. This mission is quite easy to get all the stars in, though, so all you need to do really is get her down to as low as health as possible, throw her a couple of times, and then wait for the timers to disappear and then attack her and finish her off so that you have defeated her while she’s at her max difficulty.
Mission 144. Catnip
“Catwoman doesn’t like the idea of competing with Joker! While fighting Catwoman, fend off Isis by performing the on-screen commands.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Win without missing any button inputs
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
A normal fight with Catwoman, except Isis will occasionally jump on your face. When this happens, hit the buttons that pop up on the screen correctly and quickly to get her off and avoid taking any damage.
Mission 145. Joker Venom
“Joker’s thugs are raining poison all over Gotham to cause havok! Defeat Green Arrow while avoiding the poisonous rain.”
[ ] Defeat Green Arrow
[ ] Win without jumping
[ ] Win with Heavy Attack
Poison rain will fall to the ground, causing damage. Otherwise, this is a normal fight with Green Arrow.
Mission 146. Downsized
“Joker forces Atom to shrink in order to collect Lex’s deadly nanobot technology. Execute the correct button commands to reach the finish line.”
[ ] Reach the end
[ ] Collect all nano cubes
[ ] Perform a slide 10 times
This mission is really, really weird. I believe this marks the first time in a S.T.A.R. Labs Mission in which you aren’t playing as the character whose missions you are on, but rather a character that isn’t even in the game in a playable form at all! In this mission, you play as Atom. Jump to collect the cubes, slide over green lasers, and jump over red lasers to reach the end of the level. You’ll have to be quick with your button presses in this one, and there’s no real room for messing up. This mission is entirely trial-and-error.
Mission 147. Slow Me Down
“Hawkgirl is helping Killer Frost take back the nanobot tech you just stole. Mash any button to break free from the ice and defeat her.”
[ ] Defeat Hawkgirl
[ ] Break free 5 times
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 20%
Every few seconds, Joker will freeze. Wiggle the left analog stick from left to right to break free of the ice and continue the fight as normal.
Mission 148. Bombs Away
“Joker needs to destroy part of Arkham Asylum and free his henchmen. Press RB to plant bombs at all 3 locations. You have 60 seconds.”
[ ] Plant all bombs
[ ] Win without getting hit while planting
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
There are three red X’s on the ground. One in the center of the area, one to the right, and one to the left. Hold RB to plant the bombs. You can stop the planting to knock Nightwing back and give yourself more room if needed.
Mission 149. Heads Or Tails
“Catwoman is back, but this time Joker won’t let her get away! Two-Face will also flip his coin to determine who he’ll shoot next.”
[ ] Defeat Catwoman
[ ] Win with Light Attack
[ ] Throw 6 times
Normal fight with Catwoman, except with Two-Face periodically shooting you guys. Once again, Two-Face never involved himself in the fight with my experience, but I don’t know if that’s just an issue with my copy of the game or if it is a widespread problem. At any rate, it will make your life a lot easier.
Mission 150. It takes Two
“To even the odds, Joker has joined forces with his beloved Harley. For a one time use press LT and Harley Quinn will aid in your fight.”
[ ] Defeat Batman
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Win without using Harley Quinn
You start this fight without your second health bar, but you are able to summon Harley by pressing LT. Harley will have one health bar as well, but she is completely expendable because you can only summon her once anyways.
——————————–
16. DOOMSDAY
——————————–
Mission 151. It Begins
“Doomsday has been captive for years, and must strain before seeking his revenge. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Rejuvenate your deadly combat skills
[ ] Complete without missing a move
[ ] Hit Nightwing 15 times in the head
Tutorial.
Mission 152. Riddle Me That!
“Get Lex to tell you the location of Superman by defeating him. Defeat Lex while the Riddler drops surprises.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Pick up 10 Question Marks
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Riddler mission again, just like The Joker mission.
Mission 153. Demonstration Of Power
“Green Lantern has arrived in Metropolis to stop Doomsday. Mash any button to push back the incoming bus Construct.”
[ ] Stop the bus Construct
[ ] Win with 10 or more seconds remaining
[ ] Win with 1 second remaining
Mash buttons.
Mission 154. Poison touch
“Flash has been infected with a toxic contagion, but that won’t stop Doomsday! The last one hit will be infected with the virus.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Land a 12 Hit Combo
Every time someone is hit, they are covered in a poisonous green gas. You could hit The Flash and then avoid him and his health will keep going down.
Mission 155. Falling Ice
“Killer Frost has conjured an ice storm. Defeat her while avoiding the falling ice.”
[ ] Defeat Killer Frost
[ ] Become frozen 10 times
[ ] Win a Clash
Another Killer Frost mission with ice falling from the sky. That’s all there is to this one.
Mission 156. Super Power
“Break through Lex’s shield to stop him from unleashing a devastating attack.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Win without getting hit by a laser strike
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Another fight with Lex where he will use laser strikes.
Mission 157. Wasp’s Nest
“Looks like a Justice League trap! Destroy all the wasps before they can damage you with their venomous sting 10 times, knocking you out.”
[ ] Stop the wasps
[ ] Don’t get hit by any wasps
[ ] Stop the fire wasp
Remember the mission earlier where you had to kill the bats? This is just like this, except with wasps. There’s a “red” wasp to watch out for as well, aka the fire wasp. The same strategy used there will apply here. Jumping attacks are the most effective.
Mission 158. Doomsday’s Revenge
“Defeat Green Lantern while he is powered up.”
[ ] Defeat Green Lantern
[ ] Win without using Character Power
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 40%
Green Lantern will permanently have his Character Power active during this fight with them.
Mission 159. Search for Superman
“Further weaken the Justice League by defeating Wonder Woman. Avoid being hit by the tentacles that have joined the fight to help protect Superman.”
[ ] Defeat Wonder Woman
[ ] Don’t get hit by any tentacles
[ ] Win with a tentacle attack
There are two tentacles on the stage. There’s one on the left and one on the right. If you stay in the middle, you can pretty easily avoid both of the tentacles. Knock Wonder Woman tot he right and left side of the screen to make the tentacles hit her. The tentacles do a tremendous amount of damage, taking away about a quarter of health with each tentacle swipe that lands.
Mission 160. D-Day
“Time has come to exact your revenge! Stop Superman while he is enraged. With Superman’s death, your vengeance on the Justice League will be complete.”
[ ] Defeat Superman
[ ] Hit 10 times to head
[ ] Win with a Level Transition
Normal fight with Superman, albeit with those two other objectives listed above to strive for.
——————————–
17. SINESTRO
——————————–
Mission 161. Sinestro Corps
“Now that he is free again, Sinestro must hone his dormant skills. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Familiarize yourself with the yellow Power Ring
[ ] Land a 6 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Hit 20 times to the legs
A regular tutorial mission, though I do believe this marks the first time that you are asked to target the legs instead of the head. It’s actually very easy to target the legs; simply duck down and start swinging at them!
Mission 162. Oa Noes
“A deadly assassin has been sent to stop Sinestro. Execute the command at the top of the screen just as time hits zero to outdraw Deathstroke.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Win all 5 exchanges
[ ] Shoot at the last second
Another one of those “draw!” missions.
Mission 163. Slippery When Wet
“While underwater Sinestro’s movements will be slower. Aquaman fights at normal speed.”
[ ] Defeat Aquaman
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Throw twice
It’s VERY easy to get all three stars in this mission. Just hit Aquaman first, throw him twice, and then defeat him. You’re underwater, but Sinestro’s moveset is hardly effected by this fact.
Mission 164. See You Next Fall
“Sinestro has discovered that Lex has possession of a Lantern’s ring. Break through the rings shield while avoiding the laser hazards.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Hit Lex with 10 lasers
Yep, another Lex fight with lasers. Nothing new to note here.
Mission 165. Green With Envy
“Show Green Arrow how much the color green reminds Sinestro of the Lanterns. Land 60 hits before Green Arrow does.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Land a Level Transition
[ ] Don’t let your opponent reach 30 hits
The first person to land 60 hits wins the match. There are no health bars, just a race to see who can land the most hits first.
Mission 166. In The Wind
“Green Lantern jumps in to protect Earth! Hold A for a more powerful shot and watch out for the wind.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Hit with first shot
[ ] Don’t miss
You know the drill. Use the timer and meter to land the hits.
Mission 167. To Rule Them All
“Catwoman has obtained a red Power Ring and has gained new powers. Defeat Catwoman while she uses the red Power Ring against you.”
[ ] Retrieve the ring
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
Normal fight with Catwoman, except she is super-powered.
Mission 168. Out Of Options
“As the mines appear, press the on-screen buttons to destroy each target. Smash at least 30 mines.”
[ ] Stop 30 mines
[ ] Stop 40 mines
[ ] Stop 50 mines
Just like the mission with the mines as Lex Luthor, except now you’re Sinestro.
Mission 169. Sinestro’s Power
“Sinestro must protect the Earth so that he may rule it. Use the correct button commands to shoot down approaching meteors.”
[ ] Save the Earth from doom
[ ] Don’t miss a rock
[ ] Allow 5 rocks to come close
This is a repeat of the mission from earlier where you destroy asteroids that are headed to Earth.
Mission 170. Backup
“Atrocitus has arrived to help Sinestro take control of Earth. When near Atrocitus press RB and he will deliver a powerful attack.”
[ ] Defeat Green Lantern
[ ] Win without using Atrocitus
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
All the odds are stacked in your favor for this fight. It’s a regular fight with Green Lantern, except you can call for help from Atrocitus in the background by pressing RB when you are standing in the middle of the stage. Of course, if you can avoid using him, you should, as not using him will satisfy one of the star requirements.
——————————–
18. RAVEN
——————————–
Mission 171. Regaining Control
“Raven’s inner-self is surfacing! Train to regain control by executing each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Regain control of yourself
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
[ ] Complete without missing a move
Tutorial. You will be asked to enter Raven’s demon stance by pressing B at some point, but you don’t have to actually hit any moves.
Mission 172. Bleeding Out
“The struggle with your inner-self is causing you to bleed out and lose all of your health.”
[ ] Defeat Killer Frost
[ ] Win a Clash
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Raven’s health meter constantly depletes during this battle with Killer Frost. Nothing new, yet again.
Mission 173. Raven Attack
“Use the Shadow Raven attack to destroy the incoming bats. Hold RT to shoot, LS to aim, LT (full meter) explodes the ravens.
[ ] Defeat the bats
[ ] Don’t get hit
[ ] Destroy 5 or more bats at once with an explosion
This mission offers a new twist on the “kill flying things in the Batcave” mission that we’ve already seen multiple times. You can mash RT to fire blasts to destroy the bats. You can do this infinitely, so you never really have to let up on RT, but press LT once your Super Meter is full to kill all the bats on-screen at once.
Mission 174. Rock N Roll
“Reach Bane before he crushes you with heavy boulders.”
[ ] Complete the mission
[ ] Avoid 15 rocks
[ ] No ducking
Bane tends to mostly throw boulders through the air, so just run forward and be ready to jump over the boulders rolling on the ground.
Mission 175. Friend In Need
“Raven’s rage has put Nightwing in great danger! Free him by executing the sequence of on-screen commands.”
[ ] Save Nightwing
[ ] Win with 10 seconds or more remaining
[ ] Win without missing a button
Quickly hit the buttons that appear at the top of the screen to free Nightwing.
Mission 176. Titans Go
“The demon Trigon has possessed Raven to hurt her friends! Defeat the Titans.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Win with a Super Move
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
The game tries to trick you into wasting your Super Move on Cyborg. It says that you just have to fight the Teen Titans, but Deathstroke is your enemy as well, and the third and final person that you have to fight in this Gauntlet.
Mission 177. Trigon’s Pain
“Trigon’s demonic force has sped up time. Be the first to perform 75 hits.”
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Don’t let your opponent reach 50 hits
[ ] Win without jumping
This is just like the Sinestro mission against Green Arrow, except now you have to hit 75 hits instead of 60.
Mission 178. Pass the Poison
“Green Arrow has been infected with a toxic contagion, but that won’t stop Raven! The last one hit will be infected with the virus.”
[ ] Defeat Green Arrow
[ ] Throw 6 times
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
A weird dark tint is over the stage. In the meantime, the last person hit will take damage constantly from the toxin. You can technically land 10 Special Moves and throw 6 times if you’re REALLY good at the game, but chances are Green Arrow will die before you’re able to pull off both. If you end up killing him before you can earn all three stars, then just redo the fight and then focus on the other objective that you didn’t get last time.
Mission 179. Life Steal
“Trigon’s evil power over Raven is overwhelming! Steal health by landing attacks against Hawkgirl.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
There is really no way you can lose this one. Every single time you land a hit on Hawkgirl, your health refills. So all you need to do is land the first hit, and then just beat the hell out of Hawkgirl and you should come out of this fight with all three stars.
Mission 180. Return of Trigon
“Trigon comes fort to confront Raven directly, father to daughter. Defeat Trigon to prove where your allegiances lie.”
[ ] Defeat Trigon
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
I have no idea why Trigon isn’t in this game, yet he appears in this fight with his own moveset and everything. Just a normal fight.
——————————–
19. AQUAMAN
——————————–
Mission 181. Atlantean Warrior
“In order to protect Atlantis, Aquaman must hone his skills. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Prepare yourself to defend Atlantis
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
[ ] Hit 15 times to the leg
Aquaman’s moveset is actually the easiest to learn, in my opinion, so this tutorial should be a piece of cake.
Mission 182. Assassin’s Contract
“Deathstroke is coming for Aquaman, so head him off by going to him! Stop Deathstroke and watch out for Penguin’s umbrella attack on the closest fighter.”
[ ] Defeat Deathstroke
[ ] Don’t get put to sleep
[ ] Get put to sleep 5 times
Yup, you’ll have to do this one at least twice.
Mission 183. King Of Atlantis
“Deathstroke informed you that Bane is coming after you! Go to him, and complete the moves to the right of the screen before time runs out.”
[ ] Complete the listed moves
[ ] Complete the list in order
[ ] Win without blocking
Unlike the other missions like this, Aquaman’s is incredibly easy to not only hit the moves, but hit them in order. The reason for that is none of Aquaman’s moves requires the opponent to be in the air.
Mission 184. Falling Lasers
“Cyborg has attempted to set a trap for Aquaman so he can take over Atlantis. Show him how slippery you are while avoiding lasers.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Get hit by 10 lasers
[ ] Hit Cyborg with 10 lasers
Lasers constantly fall out of the sky, but it’s not big deal. You’ve seen this before.
Mission 185. Back Alley
“Standing within Grundy’s gas cloud causes Aquaman damage. Defeat Grundy as the gas cloud grows over time until the screen is covered.”
[ ] Defeat Grundy
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Oh, how I hate this mission. Grundy has that annoying gas cloud that will constantly damage you when you are in it. Not only that, but this fight is also timed. If the gas cloud covers the entire screen, then you lose. Use meter burns as the third star suggests, but good luck going for that second star.
Mission 186. Big Smash
“Sinestro is attempting to build a construct that can destroy Atlantis itself. Over the course of the fight, he will become more powerful.”
[ ] Defeat Sinestro
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
[ ] Win before Sinestro reaches his max difficulty
Sigh.
Mission 187. Lost Trident
“Doomsday has reached the Throne Room! When too much damage is taken, Aquaman will drop his trident. Pick it up by pressing RB.”
[ ] Defeat Doomsday
[ ] Win with Heavy Attack
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Getting hit by a Heavy Attack yourself will cause Aquaman to drop his trident. You then have to go and pick it up with RB to continue the fight.
Mission 188. Hot Spot
“Black Adam is trying to get to Atlantis himself. Defeat him while avoiding exploding floor fires conjured by Raven.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Don’t get hit by the explosions
[ ] Use an explosion in a combo
Finally, a mission with Raven that isn’t incredibly obnoxious. Raven will just make fire appear on the ground, much like other missions wherein fire just randomly appears on the ground as a hazard. The game calls the fire an “explosion”, but at any rate, you’ll need to do just as the stars say in order to get them, and there’s not much strategy to offer beyond those words.
Mission 189. Jaws Of Life
“Press the correct corresponding buttons on-screen to telepathically tell the incoming rabid shark not to eat you.”
[ ] Talk the shark out of eating you
[ ] Win and let the shark get close
[ ] Don’t miss a button
Hit the buttons as they appear on the screen like a QTE. Let the shark get as close as possible if you are going for the second star. Figure out how close he has to get to kill you to figure out where you need to start pressing the buttons for a second round.
Mission 190. Olympian Champion
“Ares has recruited a group of villains to aid him. Defeat them one at a time, then take out Ares.”
[ ] Defeat all villains
[ ] Perform a 6 hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Win with a Super Move
You’ve probably noticed this, but most of Aquaman’s fights take place under water, which gives you a HUGE advantage as Aquaman. This fight is no different. Basically, there are three opponents that you have to fight in a row, but they all only have one bar of health. The first is Bane, then Doomsday, and then finally, you will have to fight Ares. This fight is stacked in your favor considerably since Doomsday and Bane are slow as it is without the added water effect thrown on top of it.
——————————–
20. SOLOMON GRUNDY
——————————–
Mission 191. Born On A Monday
“Before Grundy sets out to find Hawkgirl he must first train with Batman. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Become aware of your skills
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
You know the drill.
Mission 192. Throw Down
“Perform all of Grundy’s Character Power Multi-throws in order to get information on Hawkgirl.”
[ ] Defeat all villains
[ ] Flawless Victory
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
Grundy is a unique character in that you can just press B and then hit any face buttons to hit powerful grapple attacks.
Mission 193. Brute Strength
“Bane has challenged you to a contest of strength. Be the first to perform 50 hits. An unknown force has sped up time.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Don’t let your opponent reach 30 hits
Another repeat mission.
Mission 194. Hard Rain
“Defeat Superman while hazardous rain falls from the sky. Green raindrops replenish health while red raindrops deplete health.”
[ ] Defeat Superman
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Win without collecting any red raindrops
For the first time that you do this one, just don’t worry about the raindrops. You’ll psych yourself out if you worry about that. Instead, just focus on beating down Superman. In my experience, Superman will wind up killing himself more times than not by hitting the red raindrop.
Mission 195. Zombie Hands
“Joker wants Hawkgirl to stay hidden. Collecting orbs increases your Super Meter. Only while Joker is caught in Meter Burn Swamp Hands will Grundy cause damage.”
[ ] Defeat The Joker
[ ] Collect 25 falling orbs
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Grab the orbs to build up the Super Meter. You can only hurt The Joker when he is in the Swamp Hands (plus Meter Burn), so hitting him regularly will not build up your Super Meter. Get Joker in the Swamp Hands, and then attack him as much as possible until you can get him in the move again.
Mission 196. Avalanche
“Bane interrupts Grundy’s search for Hawkgirl by throwing obstacles in his path. Y for high rocks and A for low rocks.”
[ ] Smash through the rocks
[ ] don’t miss a rock
[ ] Swing 75 times
Another rock-destroying mission.
Mission 197. Lightning Storm
“Black Adam has created a storm of lightning above Gotham. Defeat Black Adam while avoiding the lightning strikes.”
[ ] Defeat Black Adam
[ ] Win with a lightning strike
[ ] During a combo, have a lightning strike hit
Regular fight with Black Adam, except with lightning as an added hazard.
Mission 198. Swamp Gas
“A gas cloud wills tart to enlarge over time. Defeat your opponent before it covers the entire screen.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
[ ] Land a 5 Hit Combo
Unlike the previous gas-cloud missions with Grundy, Grundy isn’t the one where the gas is coming from. This time, the gas cloud is just filling up the screen. So, it’s basically just a regular fight with Bane, except the gas cloud is filling up the screen, so that means it has a time limit on it.
Mission 199. Toxic Overload
“Another of Hawkgirl’s captors blocks your way. Stand in the green light to regain health and receive a strength boost.”
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Win with 30 or more seconds remaining
When in the green light, you health will be refilled and your attacks will do more damage. Otherwise, it’s just a regular battle.
Mission 200. Friends Forever
“Grundy has finally located Hawkgirl! Free her by defeating Lex.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Fight Lex and defeat him to finish Grundy’s missions.
——————————–
21. KILLER FROST
——————————–
Mission 201. Ice Mist
“Escape the Fortress without tripping the security system. Killer Frost’s Ice Mist will reveal the invisible lasers up close.”
[ ] Get past the lasers
[ ] Win with 10 seconds or more remaining
[ ] Don’t move backwards
This is identical to the Nightwing missions where you move through the area and have to avoid the lasers, except Killer Frost uses her Ice Mist to reveal the lasers instead of night vision goggles. Otherwise, it’s the same.
Mission 202. Frostbite
“In preparation to create a new Ice Age, Killer Frost needs to sharpen her skills. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Hone your skills for a new Ice Age
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] execute a Combo greater than 30%
And now here’s the tutorial mission.
Mission 203. Screw Loose
“The Fortress is falling apart! Make it out before it crumbles. Be careful of your attacks or you might accelerate the damage.”
[ ] Defeat Wonder Woman
[ ] Use no Super Meter
[ ] Win with a throw
Hitting Heavy Attacks will cause the background to crumble quicker. Because the background is falling apart, you need to defeat Wonder Woman as quickly as possible, but don’t hit too many Heavy Attack-based combos as they will just accelerate the crumbling of the background.
Mission 204. Life Drain
“Bats outside of Wayne Manor have infected you with vampiric poisoning! Each hit that lands will regain lost health during the fight.”
[ ] Defeat Nightwing
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Hit 10 times to the head
As you fight Nightwing, you will regain health for every time that you land a hit on the guy.
Mission 205. The Riddler’s Surprise
“Killer Frost searches Arkham for Mr. Freeze, her perfect sidekick. Defeat the guard while the Riddler drops surprises.”
[ ] Defeat the guard
[ ] Pick up 10 Question Marks
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
This is a fight against one of those military guards, except with The Riddler in the background dropping Question Marks and such.
Mission 206. A Strong Defense
“Killer Frost needs Lex’s technology to bring on the next ice age. When Luthor’s shield activates damage will be reflected back at the attacker.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
[ ] Win without ducking
Another typical fight with Lex. Hitting him while his shield is active will drain your health bar.
Mission 207. Hot And Cold
“Killer Frost is using the Watch Tower to freeze Earth, but something is wrong! She will lose health from heat, but will heal in the cold.”
[ ] Defeat Black Adam
[ ] Use only Heavy Attacks
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
When the screen is red, your health is drained dramatically. When you’re standing in the cold, your health will heal dramatically. The key is to avoid being hurt by your opponent as much as possible, which sounds silly, but with the heat and the cold dictating your health, taking damage elsewhere just isn’t acceptable.
Mission 208. Melting Point
“The room is rapidly heating up and will damage Killer Frost. Activate the switch to vent the heat to prevent a meltdown.”
[ ] Survive the heat
[ ] Take no heat damage
[ ] Win with a Super Move
Go press the button on the left side of the screen to stop the heat from building up every time it starts getting too hot for Killer Frost.
Mission 209. Fire And Ice
“Batman has upgraded his batarangs to stop Killer Frost. Defeat Batman while avoiding his heat batarangs.”
[ ] Defeat Batman
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Win with a throw
Batman’s “heat” Batarangs will do more damage to Killer Frost than the regular ones, but Batman has to actually use them. Stay close to him and he typically won’t bust those out.
Mission 210. Icebreaker
“The last fight caused so much damage that everything is crumbling down. Find the door, break it down to escape, and fulfill your icy destiny.”
[ ] Escape Arkham
[ ] Win with 5 or less seconds remaining
[ ] Don’t get hit
Make it from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen, and then mash on the buttons to break through the door.
——————————–
22. BLACK ADAM
——————————–
Mission 211. Mighty Human
“Black Adam has returned from exile to test his skills. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Hone your ancient skills
[ ] Land a 10 Hit Combo
[ ] Complete without missing a move
Tutorial mission.
Mission 212. Flip of the Coin
“Send a message to Shazam by defeating Batman. Two-Face will also flip his coin to determine who he’ll shoot next.”
[ ] Defeat Batman
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Win a Clash
Another Two-Face mission. Yet again, I feel the need to point out the fact that Two-Face didn’t actually do anything in my experience.
Mission 213. Dry Lightning
“An unknown presence has created a storm of lightning above Gotham. Defeat Ares while avoiding the lightning strikes.”
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Win with a lightning strike
[ ] During a combo, have a lightning strike hit
Lightning strike mission.
Mission 214. What You Get
“Lex is testing a new defense technology and sends a missile barrage at Black Adam. 5 missile hits results in failure.”
[ ] Avoid the objects
[ ] Don’t get hit by a rocket
[ ] Win with one chance remaining
The goal here is to avoid being hit by the rockets (obviously) long enough to win the mission.
Mission 215. Reflection
“Angered at Lex for a failed attempt on his life, Black Adam seeks revenge. When Luthor’s shield activates damage will be reflected back at the attacker.”
[ ] Defeat Lex
[ ] Throw 6 times
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
Remember, when Lex’s purple shield is on, you CAN’T hit him, otherwise you will just do damage to yourself.
Mission 216. Splat
“Use the correct button commands to zap down approaching meteors.”
[ ] Save the Earth from doom
[ ] Don’t miss a rock
[ ] Allow 5 rocks to come close
Mash on the buttons to destroy the meteors as they near Earth.
Mission 217. Discharge
“LexCorp’s hoverbots are able to harness your power when in range. Smash them to regain your power.”
[ ] Defeat Bane
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
Jump up and throw the bots at the ground by pressing RB to regain your ability to fight. Without charging yourself, Black Adam will not be able to hit any moves or do anything involving lightning, including his Character Power.
Mission 218. Razzle Dazzle
“Use LS to move your energy shield to deflect Cyborg’s bouncing rockets. First to miss 3 rockets loses.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Score the first point
[ ] Perfect score
Another Pong-based mission, once again against Cyborg.
Mission 219. S H A Z A M
“Black Adam is racing to be the first to say SHAZAM. Perform a combo with greater damage to speak each letter.”
[ ] Defeat Shazam
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Use no Super Meter
Horse, except SHAZAM, and it plays out almost exactly like the last time, except this time you are playing as Black Adam.
Mission 220. Ice Breaker
“Shazam has teamed up with Killer Frost to defeat his arch enemy. Defeat your foe in a final battle while avoiding the falling ice.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Win after getting hit by Super Move
[ ] Win a Clash
Ice is falling while you fight with Shazam.
——————————–
23. WONDER WOMAN
——————————–
Mission 221. Amazonian Training
“Train with the Amazonian before attempting to take on Ares. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Master your Amazonian might to face Ares
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 40%
Tutorials.
Mission 222. Lights Out
“Each attack Raven lands will darken the screen. Each attack Wonder Woman lands will brighten the screen.”
[ ] Defeat Raven
[ ] Stop the screen from becoming 60% dark
[ ] Win a Clash
This fight against Raven is a little different than the previous gimmick matches with Raven. This time, whenever you land a hit as Wonder Woman, the screen will be bright, but if Raven lands a hit, then the screen will darken, eventually reaching the point where you can’t see anything.
Mission 223. Meteor Shower
“Ares has conjured a meteor storm while Black Adam attacks. Defeat him while avoiding the flaming rock.”
[ ] Defeat Black Adam
[ ] Win with a Super Move
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Flaming rocks fall from the sky while you fight against Black Adam. Avoid being hit by the rocks.
Mission 224. An Amazonian’s Power
“Wonder Woman was hurt in the last battle and is slowly losing health. Complete the list of moves in the tracker before time expires.”
[ ] Complete the listed moves
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
[ ] Complete the list in order
Complete all the moves on the list, but this time there’s an added gimmick to this match. This time not only do you have to worry about hitting all the moves, but Wonder Woman’s health will be drained the entire time, so you have to do it quickly as well as go through the list properly.
Mission 225. Sisters
“Press LT to have Wonder Woman aid in your fight for a short time. Wonder Woman may only be used once.”
[ ] Defeat Doomsday
[ ] Win without using Wonder Woman
[ ] Win with a Super Move
In this mission, you play as one of Wonder Woman’s Amazonian sisters instead of Wonder Woman herself. Her moveset is easy to learn, but the key difference is that she doesn’t have a Super Meter and cannot perform Super Moves. You can summon Wonder Woman for a short time, and Wonder Woman will appear with her Super Move. Of course, this means that this mission will, once again, require at least two playthroughs to get all of the stars, as you will have to use Wonder Woman’s Super Move to get one of the stars, and you will have to win without using Wonder Woman at all to get the other star.
Mission 226. Purified Rain
“An energy storm has rolled in. Each raindrop collected fills your Super Meter.”
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Collect 25 raindrops
[ ] Hit 10 times to the head
The raindrops this time are not green and they are not red, but instead they will fill up your Super Meter. This means that Super Moves and Meter Burns will be MUCH more prevalent, but otherwise it’s just a regular battle. By the way, Wonder Woman’s Super Move has like three or so shots straight to the head, so you should have no problem getting that third star.
Mission 227. Catching A Thief
“Grundy has stolen an Amazonian gemstone for Ares. Execute the correct sequence of commands in time to stop him from getting away!”
[ ] Don’t let Grundy get away
[ ] Win without missing any button inputs
[ ] Pull Grundy in after he is almost free
Mash on the buttons to reel Grundy in. To allow Grundy to be “almost free”, it’s a good idea to actually let him escape once so you can gauge exactly how far he can get before you need to start the button mashing.
Mission 228. Who’s There?
“Ares is controlling Cyborg to put an end to the Amazonians. Defeat Cyborg while his cloaking device is active.”
[ ] Defeat Cyborg
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 40%
Invisible Cyborg fight. You’ve done this already.
Mission 229. Inner Strength
“Superman will help you train for the fight ahead. Be the first to perform 100 hits.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 20%
[ ] Don’t let your opponent reach 50 hits
Nail Superman 100 times to win this one.
Mission 230. Last Stand
“Ares has taken a final stand against Wonder Woman. He has summoned Grundy, Bane, and Doomsday to his side! Defeat them all, including Ares.
[ ] Defeat Ares
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Survive 8 seconds without being hit
No one has their second Heath Bar, but you do have to fight Bane, Ares, Grundy, AND Doomsday, so that’s four people in a row. It’d be like fighting someone that has four Health Bars, so it can still be pretty tough.
——————————–
24. ARES
——————————–
Mission 231. The God’s War
“Time to seek out and punish the Justice League, starting with Green Arrow. Execute each move at the top of the screen.”
[ ] Master your godly powers
[ ] Land a 4 Hit Juggle Combo
[ ] Execute a Combo greater than 30%
Nail the moves at the top of the screen to finish up this tutorial mission.
Mission 232. A Rock and a Hard Place
“A group of Amazonians have launched a barrage of rocks at Ares. Slice incoming rocks by pressing Y for high swing, A for low swing.”
[ ] Slice the rocks
[ ] Don’t miss a rock
[ ] Swing 100 times
Another rock-slicing one.
Mission 233. Battle Of Titans
“Superman must pay for his hand in banishing Ares to Hades. Defeat an enraged Superman.”
[ ] Defeat Superman
[ ] Connect 10 Special Moves
[ ] Win without using Character Power
Superman is super-powered this entire fight, but he can still be beaten pretty easily thanks to Ares’s impressive moveset. Keep your thumb away from the Character Power button so you can get out of this one with all the stars.
Mission 234. Underwater Warfare
“Prove to Aquaman that even Earth’s seas belong to you. Defeat Aquaman while underwater.”
[ ] Defeat Aquaman
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Land a 5 Hit Combo
You’re underwater, so you’re slower, but otherwise it’s just a normal fight with Aquaman.
Mission 235. Rust Bucket
“Ares’s armor has rusted from his underwater battle with Aquaman. Tap any directional button to shake the rust off your armor.”
[ ] Win the battle
[ ] Connect 3 Meter Burn Special Moves and win
[ ] Break free 5 times
This one drives me nuts. It’s identical to the Joker mission earlier where Joker constantly gets frozen every few seconds, except this time it’s “rust”. Shake the analog stick to break free of the rust.
Mission 236. Cloak Of The Gods
“Ares desires to fool the Amazonians by sneaking into Themyscira. Stay invisible without getting hit until time runs out.”
[ ] Fool the Amazonian and sneak into Themyscira
[ ] Throw 6 times
[ ] Land an 8 Hit Combo
Perform the combo to make Ares invisible, and then avoid the Amazonian for 15 seconds to win this mission.
Mission 237. Spears Away
“Ares charges forward towards Themyscira, meeting a barrage of spears. Perform Ares’s teleport technique to evade then defeat Hawkgirl.”
[ ] Avoid the spears
[ ] Don’t get hit by a spear
[ ] Win with a Super Move
The trick to avoiding the spears is to wait for the spear to be in line with the statue of the goddess in the background. At that point, initiate the combo and you should be able to successfully avoid the attack. Being hit by spears won’t end the mission, but the more spears you get hit with, the less health Ares will have in the battle against Hawkgirl that immediately follows the spear-throwing.
Mission 238. Rain And Pour
“Defeat Flash while hazardous rain falls from the sky. Green raindrops replenish health while red raindrops deplete health.”
[ ] Defeat The Flash
[ ] Use an Interactive Object
[ ] Land a Level Transition
Another red and green raindrop mission, but this time against The Flash. Use the same strategy as before, largely ignoring the raindrops, especially so in this fight because none of the stars have anything to do with the raindrops and you should be able to get all three stars pretty damn easily here.
Mission 239. Lasso Tied
“Wonder Woman has entrapped Ares with her lasso. Tap X and B to break free.”
[ ] Keep Wonder Woman from escaping
[ ] Win after getting First Hit
[ ] Never reach max Super Meter
Mash on X and B to escape from the lasso, and then a regular fight with Wonder Woman follows.
Mission 240. Reign Supreme
“The time has come to conquer Themyscira! Defeat its guards and their champion Wonder Woman.”
[ ] Defeat Wonder Woman and the Amazonians
[ ] Win a Clash
[ ] Win with full second Health Bar
Before fighting Wonder Woman, you go through a sequence where you are giant. Hit any face button to stomp your foot on the ground to get rid of the Amazonians. If they hit you with the swords, it will drain your health a bit for your fight against Wonder Woman that follows. Once all the Amazonians have been stomped away, Ares will return to normal size for the fight with Wonder Woman.
