Objectives

"Now you must do the impossible: return the spirit of God's Vengeance to his link with humanity. Green Lantern and Green Arrow will join you to face him in the Courthouse he has taken for his own. Perhaps they can appeal to The Spectre's memories. Or, failing that, help you bring him down." — Wonder Woman

Walkthrough

Enter the Lair of the Spectre located in the mission area of Here for the Reaping. Fight through the Vengeful Spirits, Magistrates, Accusers and Souleaters. There are some possessed souls floating around that could not be attacked but may turn to one of above when approached, so be careful and try to limit the amount of spirits attacking - a room full of max level angry spirits will kill you very quickly.

The Spectre is found.

Something tells me that attacking God's spirit of Vengeance is a very bad idea...

After finding and defending Tom from two Vengeful Spirits, be ready to be assaulted by many spirits at once in the next room - gate's locked behind you. Save the Supercharge, wait for the Soder Cola and Trinkets timer to finish counting.

After a short cutscene, spirits appear outside the "cage" and phase inside. Defeat them all, and continue. Checkpoint reached.

When you see Green Arrow and Green Lantern, talk to the latter. He will reveal that he was once the host of the Spectre, and a human host is requires for Spectre to maintain humanity - otherwise he goes crazy. Talk to him again, and go on to find the Spectre apparently insane. Hal Jordan distracts him while the player and Green Arrow destroys four crystals affecting the Spectre.

Spirits guards the crystals. Green Arrows does very little damage. He will revives the player if they are knocked out, but it is better to flee for full health and power.

Clicking 1 as the Spectre to unleash a deadly special attack.

After some time, the Spectre would become more collected and starts attacking Hal Jordan. While this could hit the player, it doesn't deal much damage and there is no reason to get in the way.

Each crystal is guarded by two spirits, and there are four extra spirits before the last crystal. They should not be difficult after the dozens of spirits before.

After all crystals are destroyed, Spectre would reject such emotions. Talk to Hal Jordan.

Players could let the Spectre knock them out after defeating the last spirits but before destroying the crystal. This ensures full health and power, and progress is not reset, but it is reset if the player is knocked out during the battle with the Spectre. The player is locked in combat mode (i.e. no natural healing) while any spirit is not defeated. After defeating the last spirit, the player could wait and heal before talking to Green Lantern.

"My vengeance would be both just and terrible."

The Spectre possess Green Arrow, and then Green Lantern. Defeat both forms - it is surprisingly easy. After that, Eclipso appears and Spectre possess the player. Eclipso is even easier, dealing little damage and the two other heroes make quick work of him.

After securing Eclipso and the final cutscene, leave the building.

Trivia

• The crystals looks exactly like the Sisyphean Stones destroyed in A Shard of Hope.
• When the Spectre is found, he is in giant form. When he possesses Green Arrow and later Hal Jordan, he is in human size. However, when he possesses the player, he is back to his giant form.
• When possessed by the Spectre, the equipment screen would show the player as usual but enlarged. Players could also use emotes as the Spectre.
• There is sometimes a glitch that causes Hal Jordan to attack the air where the Spectre originally was rather than the Spectre.
