This Spider-Man guide explains how to beat Shocker.

Marvel’s Spider-Man was first released on PS4 four years ago in 2018. It was a smash-hit for Sony and developer Insomniac.

It delivered an incredible combination of high-flying, web-slinging action and an engaging story full of great characters.

Spider-Man went on to become one of the best-selling PS4 games and for good reason. It was one of the best and most popular of the last generation.

Now, in 2022, Spider-Man is about to be released on PC. That means a different group of gamers will be able to experience it for the first time and see what all the fuss was about.

In case you need a reminder, Marvel’s Spider-Man tells the story of Peter Parker some years after he become the titular superhero. He’s 23 years old and working as a research assistant for Dr. Otto Octavius.

The game drops you into Peter’s Spidey suit and a life-like recreation of New York City. It’s a joy to explore but is packed full of dangerous enemies and tricky puzzles.

One of Spider-Man‘s boss fights is against Shocker. After chasing him through the streets (sky, actually) of New York City, you’ll have to fight Shocker in a crumbling bank.

Shocker is pretty powerful, so you’ll need to know exactly what to do in order to defeat him.

In case you’re stuck and can’t figure it out, keep reading to find out how to beat Shocker in Spider-Man.
