Jetlag opens the Japan chapter of Marvel’s Wolverine with a military cargo plane, a stormy Tokyo skyline, and a boarding party from the Hand. Logan and Jean Grey are flying in to track down an ex-teammate in Kabukicho, and the mission runs as one long chain of set pieces: a fight inside the burning hold, a fight on the outside of the aircraft, a controlled crash, and a motorcycle chase through the city. Two trophies drop along the way, and both are tied to story beats you cannot miss if you finish the sequence.
Quick answer: Clear every Hand ninja on the plane to earn Ground Control, then steer the failing aircraft away from the city and survive the crash to earn Crash Course. Both unlock automatically.
Jetlag trophies: Ground Control and Crash Course
There is nothing hidden here. Neither trophy asks for a collectible, an optional kill, or a specific timing window, so a straight playthrough of the mission clears it at 100 percent.
| Trophy | Unlocks when | Point in the mission |
|---|---|---|
| Ground Control | The last Hand ninja aboard the plane is down | End of the airborne fight |
| Crash Course | Logan crashes the plane away from populated ground | Right after the crash cinematic |
The mission proper begins in the cockpit. Logan tells Jean they are approaching Tokyo, suggests Kabukicho as a starting point, and mentions an ex-teammate there who has tangled with the Hand before. Jean digs a black tactical suit out of a locker in the hold — Logan says Walter made it for Raven — and turns it down. The attack lands seconds later.
Surviving the Hand’s mid-air attack on the cargo plane
A harpoon cable punches through the hull, the explosion tears open the side of the aircraft, and Hand ninjas start climbing in. Logan sends Jean forward to hold the plane level — she points out that she does not know how to fly — and stays in the hold with his claws out.
The fight runs in three stages. You clear the first wave inside the burning cargo hold, then get dragged out of the side door and fight while hanging off the exterior of a moving plane, then climb back in to finish the stragglers. Jean calls out engine losses over the noise, which is the game’s way of telling you the crash is already locked in.
Ground Control pops as soon as the hold is clear. There is no cleanup phase afterward, so if the trophy has not appeared, an enemy is still alive somewhere in the compartment.
Jean’s parachute jump and the plane crash
Jean comes back from the cockpit and Logan straps the only parachute onto her. The instructions are specific: jump, pull the cord once she is clear, head straight for Kabukicho, and do not wait for him. When he will not let go of her hand, Jean uses her telepathy to force it open and drops out of the aircraft.
Logan then returns to the controls and wrestles the plane toward emptier ground before it goes down. Crash Course unlocks in the moments after impact. A masked figure flashes into view with a telepathic line — “Tell the Beast the Hand is ready, Shinigami” — before Logan wakes in the wreckage, pulls a length of metal debris out of his chest, and climbs free.
Jean stays in contact by telepathy for the rest of the mission and asks who the masked figure was and what a Shinigami is. Logan does not have an answer, and the game does not give one here.
Tokyo motorcycle chase controls
A Hand ninja rides up to attack Logan at the crash site. He knocks the rider off, takes the bike, and the game hands control back to you with a fresh set of prompts on screen. The chase is the only part of Jetlag where you can meaningfully fail, so the layout is worth memorizing before the first tunnel.
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| L1 | Claw Attack |
| Left Stick | Steer |
| R2 | Accelerate |
| L2 | Brake |
L1 is the only offensive input during the chase. Pursuing riders pull alongside Logan rather than sitting behind him, so swipe as they close in instead of trying to outrun them.
Chase route: highway, tunnel, arcade, and the fuel tanker
The ride through Tokyo moves through a fixed set of stages, with signage for Shiodome and the Tomei Expressway marking the route. Each one changes what is trying to kill you.
- Elevated highway — weave through traffic while Hand riders chase you on their own bikes.
- Ramp jump — Logan launches the bike off a highway ramp to break away from the pack.
- Tunnel — oncoming cars plus more ninjas in a much tighter lane.
- Shopping arcade — the bike goes through glass and interior structures while the fight continues.
- Exit jump — Logan rides out of the building and drops onto the street below.
- Fuel tanker — a tanker truck blocks the road and the collision ends the chase in a large explosion.
Jean’s telepathic calls run underneath all of it. She reports that the Hand has found her, Logan tells her to improvise, and he misses his exit at least once. None of that changes the outcome — the tanker crash is scripted, and Logan’s healing factor covers the landing.
How to confirm Jetlag is complete
After the explosion, Logan heals in front of a stunned construction worker, takes the motorcycle keys, and hands over gold as payment for the trouble. Control then shifts to him on foot as he walks past arriving fire trucks and into the neon streets of Kabukicho, wondering aloud where to start looking for Jean. That transition is the end of the mission.
Check your trophy list at that point. If both Ground Control and Crash Course are marked as earned, Jetlag is fully cleared and nothing in the mission has been skipped.
One caveat worth keeping in mind: this footage comes from an early build of the game, so prompt layouts, trophy names, and specific lines of dialogue could differ from what ships.
