Spider-Man 2 EMF Experiments are optional side missions where you perform different science-based tasks for research purposes. These range from flying drones to experimenting with genetics. While the individual benefits may not always be obvious, completing these tasks helps develop new scientific methods for the Emily-May Foundation and rewards you with various bonuses.
Some of these experiments are more difficult than others, often involving puzzles or mini-games rather than typical Spider-Man action. Most can be tackled in any order, except for experiment number 9, which requires all previous ones to be finished first. Finishing all of them unlocks a special Spider-Man suit to add to your collection. Below is a guide to help you locate and complete every EMF Experiment in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
All the EMF Experiments are marked on the map and explained here. Each can be approached in any sequence, apart from the ninth, which becomes available only after completing the others.
Here’s a quick overview of each task:
1. Central Park Energy – Ride a bike through Central Park to test a new battery, racing against a clock.
2. Central Park Bee Drones – Pilot a bee drone to shoot targets and spray pheromones on specific spots.
3. Little Tokyo Plant Science – Find nearby plants, splice their genetics, and solve a puzzle to create a hybrid.
4. Brooklyn Heights Energy – Deploy wind turbines at high altitude by gliding and hitting a button to place them.
5. Queens Apiary Bee Drones – Similar to the first bee experiment, but on a rooftop with targets.
6. Prospect Park Bee Drones – Chase and recover a stolen bee drone and fight the thieves.
7. Portside Plant Science – Remove corruptions from a plant pathogen, then gather fish samples and create genetic sequences.
8. Two Bridges Plant Science – Find a stolen plant, follow pollen trails, and solve a puzzle to build a new hybrid crop.
9. Emily-May Foundation Final Experiment – Once all others are done, craft a hybrid plant as a memorial, involving a detailed gene-splicing puzzle.
Note that some tasks involve complex puzzles, mini-games, or hacking sequences rather than straightforward Spider-Man action. These experiments are connected to real-world science and the foundation’s projects, as introduced early in the game.
Now, let’s go into detail on each experiment and what you need to do to complete them.
