Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Trophy Roadmap: Your Path to Platinum
This Spider-Man 2 trophy guide breaks down the platinum journey into three manageable steps, optimizing your playtime and ensuring a smooth trophy acquisition process.
Step 1: Immerse Yourself in the Story (Approx. 20 Hours)
Your initial playthrough should focus on experiencing the captivating narrative of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Playing through the main story missions first is highly recommended for several reasons. Firstly, it organically unlocks essential gadgets and abilities crucial for both combat and exploration, many of which are beneficial for tackling collectibles and side content later. Secondly, story progression gradually introduces you to the different types of collectibles and side activities scattered throughout New York, making the 100% district completion phase in Step 2 less overwhelming. Lastly, by concentrating on the story, you avoid unnecessary backtracking and maintain a focused gameplay experience.
Don’t worry about difficulty settings or missable trophies during this initial run, as Spider-Man 2 features no difficulty-related trophies, and nothing is missable. You can comfortably play on the ‘Friendly Neighborhood’ difficulty setting if you prefer a more relaxed experience. Enjoy the narrative twists and turns, master the dual protagonists, Peter and Miles, and familiarize yourself with the new gameplay mechanics. By the end of the story, you’ll not only be deeply invested in the world but also well-equipped to tackle the remaining trophies.
Step 2: Achieve 100% District Completion & Collectibles Mastery (Approx. 10 Hours)
After completing the main story, the next phase in this Spider-Man 2 trophy guide is to achieve 100% district completion across all boroughs of New York. This is where the bulk of your playtime for platinum will be spent, but it’s also where the game truly opens up, allowing you to explore every nook and cranny of the meticulously crafted open world.
100% district completion in Spider-Man 2 is intrinsically linked to collecting all 160 collectibles scattered throughout the city. These collectibles are diverse, ranging from Spider-Bots and Marko’s Memories to EMF Experiments and Hunter Blinds. The beauty of the collectible system in Spider-Man 2 is its accessibility. As you increase your District Completion Level (primarily by collecting items and completing activities), the map progressively unfogs, revealing the locations of most collectibles. Spider-Bots are the only exception, remaining unmarked on the map, adding a slight element of exploration to their acquisition.
Refer to dedicated Spider-Man 2 collectible guides for detailed locations of each collectible type:

While pursuing 100% district completion, you’ll naturally accumulate experience points, reaching the maximum level of 60, and gather ample crafting materials. These materials are essential for purchasing all suits, suit tech upgrades, and gadget upgrades, contributing to several trophies. Remember that crimes and small material chests are not necessary for district completion, but they are excellent sources for farming Tech Parts if you need a slight boost towards the end.

Step 3: Clean Up Miscellaneous Trophies (Approx. 15 Minutes)
The final step in this Spider-Man 2 trophy guide involves tackling any miscellaneous trophies you may have missed during the story and collectible grind. These are generally quick and straightforward to obtain, often requiring specific actions in the open world or combat scenarios. Examples include visiting specific locations like Aunt May’s grave or Phin’s science trophy, performing combat maneuvers like using Symbiote Surge abilities, or completing traversal challenges like gliding from the Financial District to Astoria.
By this point, you will likely have unlocked most combat-related trophies naturally. If not, remember that crimes and Mysteriums continue to spawn infinitely after the story, providing ample opportunities to grind out any remaining combat challenges. Refer to the trophy descriptions below for specific instructions on how to obtain each miscellaneous trophy. With minimal effort, you’ll be able to mop up these last few trophies and secure your well-earned platinum in Spider-Man 2.
