How Spider-Man Black Cat stakeout locations and solutions work

Black Cat missions, dubbed Stakeouts, become available after you complete the main story mission Home Sweet Home - when you have, the next story mission will be Stakeout, which introduces you to Black Cat for the first time (at least, via audio message) and takes you through the mechanics of one of her Stakeouts.

The way they work is simple enough - somewhere within sight of the Stakeout location is a little Black Cat doll, normally perched partially obscured in a doorway or window. There's usually a bit of graffiti nearby depicting Black Cat herself, which helps you zero in on the right location.

All you have to do is find the little doll with your camera, zoom in, and snap a picture of it to complete the Stakeout. You can find the solutions to all of them, including that first one that you do in the story mission, just below.

Black Cat stakeout final location and rewards

After completing all of the Stakeouts, you'll get a new Sidequest waypoint on your map, labelled Cat's Cradle - you've finally tracked down her lair.

When you get there - it's on the Upper West Side - you'll need to clear out the Sable Base first. Once that's out of the way, head into the closed off tunnel and look to the right to find the entrance, marked on the wall with a slightly obvious Black Cat graffiti tag again.

Have a little dig around inside, and when you're done interact with the voice recorder on the table for a pretty sweet reward.
