Spider and the Fly is the Phantom Liberty main job in which V leads President Rosalind Myers out of the wreck of Space Force One and across Dogtown, Pacifica. Kurt Hansen's Barghest is hunting her, and Songbird tries to guide the pair to safety from the net. The job ends with a fight against the Chimera, a giant Militech war machine, in the tunnels under the district.

Story

Out of the Wreck

The President has survived the crash, but Hansen almost killed her. The journal sets the task: get her out, drop her somewhere safe and meet up with Songbird again. Johnny hopes it gets done quickly, because being cut off is getting old.

Myers leads the way to a hiding place. On the way, she tells V about Hansen and why she thinks he has agents inside Washington. She carries a tracker, and V helps her remove it just before a Barghest drone arrives. The pair hide from it, or fight it if it spots them.

Through the Building

Songbird comes back online and tells V to climb higher. The lift does not work, so V finds the fuse box in a utility room and resets it. On the way up, Myers talks about drones and her years in the army. Barghest soldiers patrol the floors above. Myers stays out of sight on her own, so V only has to slip past the guards.

At a gate, a Barghest car offers a quick way out. Enemy cars give chase, and V has to lose them before reaching the next building. Underground, the pair pass more patrols, a quiet car park and a lift.

The Expo Hall

The lift opens into an old exhibition hall. Myers looks around and talks about some of the items on show. With Songbird's help, the pair open a door at the centre of the hall and call a lift. While they wait, Hansen's soldiers attack, and V has to hold them off until Songbird is ready.

The Chimera

Songbird's plan is to wake up the Chimera, a powerful war machine that Militech had been building. At first it fights at V's side against Hansen's troops. Then it starts to act strangely, collapses and wakes again, this time as an enemy. V and Myers run. A lift arrives, but only Myers gets inside, and V is left to face the machine. After a short scene, Myers wakes V, and the Chimera comes back for a final fight. When it is almost destroyed, V jumps on it and finishes it off. The story continues straight into Lucretia My Reflection.

Choices

The drone near the hiding place can be avoided or fought. The building can be crossed by stealth or by force, and the Barghest car is an optional shortcut. The Chimera fight cannot be avoided.

Tips

Strong weapons make the Chimera fight much easier. Stay behind the pillars, watch for its heavy attacks, and use quickhacks. Kill the repair drones quickly, or the Chimera regains health.

Enemies

V fights these enemies during Spider and the Fly.
