The place of the combat with Kingpin

Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, is the first obligatory boss in the game. You will face him while completing the second main mission called The Main Event. The confrontation takes place after going through the Fisk Tower and defeating his subordinates. You will find Kingpin in his huge office, and after exchanging a few words, the fight will begin.

The first phase of the fight - turrets

Kingpin doesn't participate in the first part of the fight - instead, you have to destroy the turrets in his office. Use regular dodges to avoid being shot by the turrets. Don't count on the covers because they can be easily destroyed.

Take action while the turrets reload - they do it after several fire series. Start by using webs on a turret (picture 1). The second step is to pull out the turret and throw it to destroy it (L1+R1 on the gamepad - picture 2).

Get rid of both turrets that way. Destroy the glass wall protecting the boss and advance to the proper fight with Kingpin.

The second phase of the fight - Fisk

Although Fisk doesn't have any superpowers, his strength is really impressive. The opponent will throw various objects at you. Don't dodge to the side, but catch the flying items and throw them back at the enemy (hold L1+R1 on the gamepad).

You can immobilize the stunned Fisk with webs (R1 on the gamepad). This will allow you to zip yourself towards him (triangle on the gamepad) and deliver a combo. Your attacks will deal some damage to Kingpin, but you won't defeat him right away.

Watch out for Kingpin's strong attacks with fists, which can inflict heavy damage. An icon above the Spider-Man head will signal when to perform a dodge (one or more in a series).

The third phase of the fight - Fisk's guards

Repeat the above pattern until a new cut-scene is displayed. The action will move to the next room.

It's time for the next phase of the fight - the boss' attacks will not change, but many minor criminals will appear in the arena. Focus on eliminating regular enemies. While fighting the thugs, don't ignore the boss - watch out for his charges and other powerful attacks.

After getting rid of the guards, resume attacking Kingpin. You can use similar tactics as before - stop the boss with spider webs and zip to him to perform a combo when he is temporarily defenseless.

You can look for an opportunity to throw environmental objects at Fisk (L1+R1 on the gamepad), but don't let the boss hit you before completing the throw.

The fight's finale - QTE sequence

The boss fight with Fisk ends with QTE. You must:

1. defend yourself against being hit with fists (circle on the gamepad - wait for the ring to align with the button's icon);
2. shoot 2 webs while in the air (L2 and R2 on the gamepad);
3. kick Fisk and throw him off the balcony (triangle on the gamepad);
4. hit the boss while falling together (repeatedly press square on the gamepad).

If you do the sequence correctly, you will see a cut-scene of capturing Kingpin.
