Spider-Man: The Heist DLC – Trail of the Cat Mission Guide

In Spider-Man: The Heist DLC, the mystery surrounding the Black Cat deepens as you embark on the “Trail of the Cat” mission. After receiving new information from MJ, you’ll track down the elusive thief through the streets of Greenwich. This guide will walk you through each objective and provide tips to help you navigate the mission efficiently, so you can continue your pursuit of the Black Cat and uncover more of the story behind her heists.
How to Start the Trail of the Cat Mission
To start the “Trail of the Cat” mission, head over to Greenwich. Look for the building located southeast of the Sanctum Sanctorum and climb to its roof. Once on the roof, a cutscene will trigger, and you’ll receive your first objective: “Investigate what happened.”
Objective: Investigate What Happened
Drop down to the street below and approach the EMT standing next to an injured security guard on a gurney. After speaking with the EMT, you’ll learn that a rare book has been stolen and that the security guard is going to be okay. The EMT’s information will lead you to your next objective: “Find a way to track the Black Cat.”
Objective: Find a Way to Track the Black Cat


Head down the alley directly behind the EMT, then take your first left. Use your scanner to find some Magnesium Flare fragments. Interacting with the fragments triggers a brief minigame (see the solution above for the minigame details). Once completed, a trail will appear. Follow the trail!
From here on out, your task is to follow the trail across rooftops, leading you to an alley where you’ll find an injured mafia member. As you approach, a group of thugs will attack you. Take them down, then continue following the trail.
Eventually, the trail will lead you to a skylight, triggering another cutscene. After the cutscene, take out the mafia thugs and finish the mission.
Once you’ve completed the “Trail of the Cat” mission and uncovered more clues about the Black Cat, you’ll be ready to continue your journey in the Spider-Man: The Heist DLC.
