How to unlock the Deeply Sorry achievement in The Amazing Spider-Man - Definitive Guide
SPOILER WARNING, plot points mentioned to give context.
After defeating the S-03, you'll be chasing the Lizard back underground. But you won't be fighting him just yet.
There's another cross-species standing, well, swimming in your way. You'll come across a large water tank with something swimming inside. At first I had thought it was the Lizard swimming back to the lab, but actually the tank is home to Nattie, a piranha cross-species who doesn't take kindly to you messing with his home (yes, bio says it's a "he").
After draining the water tank and gaining entrance by finding 3 water wheels in the area around it, you will find Nattie in a huff, attacking you from the now shallow yet steadily rising water. Besides hindering your movement, the water also gives Nattie the advantage of both a hiding place and a boost to his attack. (I didn't let the water rise enough to find out the full extent of his move set in-water. Maybe you shouldn't either. ;p)
You'll need to take that advantage away from him by LB Interact-ing with one of the 3 water wheels around the inside of the tank. Once a water wheel is spun, the water will drain, allowing you to hit Nattie on equal footing.
Just remember, the water is constantly running so you'll need to drain again every half minute or so.
Losing his hiding place, won't stop Nattie though since he'll just resort to strong hits and charges, as well as summoning a band of similar fish cross-species to gang up on you. Thankfully, he only summons them once.
You can use LB Web Escape to avoid a pileup but know you can't hide from them, since the running water will just slide you back down.
Best way is to RB Web Strike them, both adding B Web Hurricane to slow them down and X Web Punch combos to pick them off. (Simple B web shots and X punches with Y dodges will do as well but can be slower, since Web Punch combos knock out troop enemies such as these.)
As long as you can avoid Nattie's attacks and keep him from deeper water then there's really no special super maneuver he can use to gain the upper hand with.
You'll kick him back to the fishes soon enough. ;>
Good luck!
Story related, unmissable.
Obtained during Chapter 12: Where Crawls The Lizard? after defeating Nattie.
Nattie is the underwater piranha monster that you fight in the water tank in the final level of the game. As the battle starts, use to drain the water tank by pulling one of the wheels on the wall. This stops Nattie from diving underwater and attacking you. Pummel him with punches like you would any other boss, dodging his smashes with if your spider-sense flares up.
As you fight him, Nattie may call his Pygos friends, who look like white versions of himself. These are more of a nuisance than anything else. You can defeat them, but Nattie will resurrect them eventually, so it might be easier just to focus on Nattie himself. Keep the water level low with the wheels on the wall, and Nattie will fall to your fists soon enough.
