The Amazing Spider-Man/Take 1

Take 0 was very short and easy. From here on, the difficulty increases quickly and dramatically. Adeptness at the controls and quick reflexes will be invaluable for the next few levels. Take 1 is relatively linear, but expect the challenges to become harder quickly.

The Horror Set
Jump down off the clacker and back onto the lift. Use your web (or walk on it, just because you can) to hit the red button on the right. This will cause the lift to climb up a level. Exit the lift to find yourself on the set of a horror movie, complete with mummy and full moon that crushes anything that goes under it (wait, what?) The blue switch on the ceiling in front of you will cause a section of floor to appear and disappear. Hit it once to make the floor appear, then hit it again as the mummy walks over it to make him fall down the gap. Go back to the lift and hit the button on the other side to go back down and go to the right into the healing room.

Climb the walls or a web to the top of this room and crawl through the small hole in the ceiling. This takes you to where the mummy once walked. Hit the blue switch on the left to open up a new pathway. Jump up onto the railing and dash under the [| awful pun] while it is moving upward. Climb up the bleeding cross and up onto the gargoyle (yes, that's what it is). It will lower and allow you to climb up. At the top, walk right onto the cement brick and it will lower you into another room. Walk left to enter the mummy puzzle room.

Mummy's Puzzle
The first thing you want to do here is get up to the ceiling and walk over both blue buttons there. This will alter the red beams so you can climb down into the center area with the mummy. After hitting the buttons, shoot a web across to the gargoyle in the upper right corner so that he falls to the ground, then go down to the center area, staying clear of the mummy.

Don't hit the blue switch here yet. Instead, jump down past the one raised block and walk to the left. This leads to a small alcove with a blue switch. Hit it, then go back to the mummy room. Climb up the wall and hit the switch in the center area near where the mummy is walking so that it is red. Go back up to the top and hit the two red switches at the top so they turn blue. This clears the path down to the bottom. Follow the path down, jumping to the ceiling to avoid the fire, and exit the screen through the bottom left doorway.

Rats!
Hit the blue button on the ceiling just through this passage to open a hole in the floor. Crawl down this passageway, though the healing room, and into the rat trap. Be very careful in this room as it is the most dangerous you have faced thus far. Sticking to the platform you are on, crawl down and around to the platform directly below you. Notice that the rat on the ground follows your movements. Your ultimate goal is to get it to hit the blue button in the bottom right corner.

As soon as you step onto the suspended red plank, it will fall to the floor, so jump after the first step and try to shoot a web and swing to the middle platform. If you fall to the floor, it's not a problem, but don't stay down there long. Shoot a web up to the middle platform and climb up. From the middle platform, stand on the edge and shoot a web up to the little silver knob on the ceiling. Use this to swing across and lead the rat over to the blue button. It will permanently switch red and open a passageway above you. Jump up and crawl through the hole to find yourself in the mummy room. Hit the button to start a chain reaction involving the gargoyle to open the passage through the top. Afterward, jump back down into the rat trap and go through the opening on the right.

Underground
This section involves a lot of hidden buttons and traps. Walk in and step on the rock that doesn't have a red part to activate the lift. Once down, walk forward to the section containing two of these links in a row to drop down. Try not to land in the fire as the links literally disappear from beneath you. To open the next section, look on the ground and find the section made up of three rocks instead of one big one. Stand on the one closest to the fire and shoot a web straight up to open another hidden passage.

The cat running around down here, like just about every other mobile object in the game, hurts you if you touch it, so avoid it as much as possible. Crawl across the ceiling of this area to avoid the cat and to activate another hidden switch in the ceiling. Try to crawl on top of it before it crushes you. When it has landed, climb on top of it. Step onto the leftmost of the two sections and shoot a web straight up. The section above you will begin to drop, so jump out of the way before it hits. When it is safely down, shoot a web up and climb up to the topmost section. The last switch is located on the right wall. Climb up from the middle section to the top section along the right wall to activate it. This will open up two passageways up. Take the left one first.

You'll find yourself just under a graveyard. Navigate your way to the left side and walk over the special rock without a red part on the ceiling of the leftmost part of this passageway to move the cross aside. Crawl back to where you climbed up and back down underground. This time, take the right passage up and climb up onto the cross. From here, trample the grave sites or, if you prefer, shoot the moon with your web and swing from it across the graveyard. Climb up the bar and chain and hit the blue button above to open the doorway. Then, hit the blue button below to remove the red plank and walk through. You'll find yourself back in the mummy puzzle room.

The Spider Jumped Over the Moon
This next section will test your adeptness at the controls. Back in the puzzle room, say a final goodbye to the mummy and climb up through the new opening at the top. You'll emerge in a zig-zag castle-like setting with a moon ominously watching over. Crawl up through the maze, taking note of the foreshadowing that occurs when you pass the first wall lamp. Near the top left corner of the maze, you'll trigger the moon falling. Duck back down and outcrawl the moon back down the castle. At the bottom, crouch on the ceiling and let the moon go under you. Crawl back up to the top and jump to the right over the parapets and into the next room.
