Second Wind Injustice Quest Walkthrough

This walkthrough explains how to find and complete the Second Wind quest in Injustice 2, covering the exact steps, requirements, and rewards. You’ll learn where the quest appears, how to unlock it, and how to beat its final fight reliably.

What Is the Second Wind Quest?

Second Wind is a side quest in the single-player campaign of Injustice 2. It is not part of the main story, so you can miss it if you don’t explore. The quest becomes available after you finish Chapter 4 (Batman’s chapter) and return to the Watchtower hub. A character with a blue exclamation mark will have a dialogue prompt that starts the quest. The objective is simple: defeat a specific opponent in a special battle to earn a rare gear piece and a chunk of source crystals.

How to Unlock the Quest

To unlock Second Wind, you must have completed the following prerequisites:

• Finish Chapter 4 of the story mode (the chapter where you play as Batman and face Catwoman).
• Return to the Watchtower (the hub area between story chapters).
• Talk to the character with the blue exclamation mark—this is usually Green Arrow or Black Canary, depending on your story choices.

If the quest doesn’t appear, make sure you’ve progressed past Chapter 4 and have returned to the Watchtower at least once. Sometimes the quest is triggered by a dialogue tree, so exhaust all dialogue options with the character.

Quest Objectives and Steps

Once you accept the quest, your objective is to win a specific fight in the “Battle Simulator” (the practice arena). The quest log will say something like “Defeat the opponent in the Battle Simulator to prove your worth.” Here are the exact steps:

1. Open the pause menu and select “Battle Simulator.”
2. Choose the character you want to fight with (any character works, but a higher level helps).
3. Select the opponent indicated in the quest log—it’s usually a random hero or villain, but often it’s a mirror match against your chosen character.
4. Set the difficulty to your preference (the quest doesn’t require a specific difficulty).
5. Win the fight. The quest completes immediately after the victory screen.

After winning, you’ll receive the reward automatically. You don’t need to return to the quest giver; the quest will close and the reward pops up on screen.

Rewards and Why They Matter

The Second Wind quest rewards you with a random epic gear piece for the character you used in the fight, plus 100 source crystals. The gear piece is always epic (orange) quality, which is the highest tier in the game. Source crystals are the premium currency used to buy cosmetic items, transform gear, or unlock alternate skins. This quest is one of the few reliable ways to get an epic gear piece early in the game, so it’s worth doing as soon as it appears.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Players often run into a few issues with this quest:

• Quest not appearing: If you haven’t seen the blue exclamation mark, double-check that you’ve completed Chapter 4. Sometimes you need to exit and re-enter the Watchtower to refresh the NPCs.
• Can’t find Battle Simulator: The Battle Simulator is in the Watchtower, near the training area. If you’re in the main menu, it’s under “Single Fight” but the quest specifically requires the practice arena in the hub.
• Opponent is too hard: If you’re underleveled, the fight can be tough. Use a character you’re comfortable with, or lower the difficulty to Very Easy in the options before starting.
• Quest not completing after win: This is rare but can happen if you quit the fight before the victory screen. Make sure you finish the fight and watch the full victory animation.

Tips for Winning the Fight

To make the fight easy, consider these strategies:

• Use a character with a good projectile, like Superman or Deadshot, to keep distance.
• Block often—the AI tends to use combos, so blocking and punishing is effective.
• If you have a character with a high level (15+), use them; the quest scales to your character level, so a higher level makes it easier.
• Use your super move when the meter is full—it deals massive damage and can end the fight quickly.

The fight is a single round, so you don’t need to worry about stamina or multiple rounds.

Is This Quest Missable?

Yes, Second Wind is missable if you don’t do it before finishing the story. After you complete the final chapter, the game moves to the “multiverse” mode and the Watchtower hub becomes less accessible. However, you can still access the Watchtower from the main menu after the story, and the quest may still be available if you never accepted it. To be safe, do it as soon as it appears.
