This guide shows the location of all 9 EMF Experiments and how to complete them in the Spiderman 2 game, which released on 20 October 2023. They can be completed only by playing as Peter. It first unlocks after Mission 7: Healing the World. If the experiment is not available in your game, that means you need to progress further in the main story. Completing all EMF Experiments unlocks the Foundational trophy and Life Story suit.
1) Energy (Central Park)
For this experiment, you’ll need to ride a bike through Central Park. Follow the checkpoints on the path, and as you go along, you’ll notice a timer telling you how much time is left. Continue following the checkpoints until you reach the end to finish this experiment.
2) Bee Drones (Central Park)
In this experiment, you’ll use the Bee Drone to shoot the purple wasp and rat targets within a time limit. There are more than 12 targets in the area, and you can spot them on the minimap marked with red dots.
3) Little Tokyo Plant Science (Chinatown)
You start this EMF Experiment by interacting with the terminal in the roof garden at the location shown in the pictures below. Your first objective will be to collect three plant specimens.
Scan by pressing the right joystick (R3) to see the vines in orange color. Then follow the vines to collect three specimens. One specimen is on the west side of the building, one on the east and one on the south side of the building as shown in the pictures below.
After collecting the specimens, go back to the terminal and solve the Plant Attributes puzzle. To solve the puzzle, you need to place the Hex genes in the correct empty slot. Each side of a Hex Gene will have either 1,2,3, or 4 lines. Only the hex genes with the matching sides can be placed next to each other. For example, the side with two lines can only be attached to another Hex Gene’s side with two lines. The puzzle is randomly generated. The solution to the puzzle that I got is shown in the second picture below.
Your next objective will be to prep F.E.A.S.T Garden. Go to the water tank and press L1+R1 to pull the valve and get the water flowing. Now follow the pipe and fix the leaks by firing webs (Hold L2 + Press R1). Six leaks are inside the garden and are very easy to spot. The final leak is outside on the west side as shown in the second picture below. Fixing all the leaks completes the experiment.
4) Portside Plant Science (Hell’s Kitchen)
This will be unlocked after you have completed Chinatown: Little Tokyo Plant Science experiment. For this EMF Experiment, go to the location shown in the pictures below and interact with the terminal there. Then interact with the puddle of water there to start a corrupted atoms puzzle. For this puzzle, you need to destroy the red atoms and avoid destroying the green atoms.
After the corrupted atoms experiment, go south to the marked location and press L1+R1 to catch a fish as shown in the picture below. Continue catching the fish until you catch the correct one. It might take a few tries until you catch the correct one. Once you have the fish, you back to the terminal and start the Plant Attributes puzzle.
To solve the puzzle, you need to place the Hex genes in the correct empty slot. Each side of a Hex Gene will have either 1,2,3, or 4 lines. Only the hex genes with the matching sides can be placed next to each other. For example, the side with two lines can only be attached to another Hex Gene’s side with two lines. The puzzle is randomly generated. The solution to the puzzle that I got is shown in the second picture below. Solving the puzzle completes the experiment.
5) Two Bridges: Plant Science (Financial DIstrict)
This experiment will be available after you have completed the Portside Plant Science EMF Experiment. Go to the location shown in the pictures below and interact with the terminal there to start the experiment. Now follow the objective marker to reach the greenhouse and investigate it. You will find the plant to be stolen.
Look up in the air, and you will see triangular-shaped pollen trails as shown in the picture below. Follow the trail and it will lead you to a roof full of criminals as shown in the second picture below. Defeat the criminals and pick up the stolen plant. Take the stolen plant back to the terminal and start the Plant Attributes puzzle.
To solve the puzzle, you need to place the Hex genes in the correct empty slot. Each side of a Hex Gene will have either 1,2,3, or 4 lines. Only the hex genes with the matching sides can be placed next to each other. For example, the side with two lines can only be attached to another Hex Gene’s side with two lines. The puzzle is randomly generated. The solution to the puzzle that I got is shown in the second picture below. Solving the puzzle completes the experiment.
6) Queens Apiary: Bee Drones (Little Odessa)
Interact with the terminal on the roof of the building as shown in the pictures below. This will give you control of a drone. Use the drone to destroy 20 targets. This will complete the experiment.
7) Prospect Park: Bee Drones (Downtown Brooklyn)
You can try this Experiment once you’ve finished “Queens Apiary: Bee Drones.” EMF Experiments involve going to a special place and playing a small game there. Go to the marked spot to begin the EMF Experiments – Prospect Park: Bee Drones.
First, you must shoot 10 purple targets (rats). After that, you have to identify five places for bee nests, but in the middle of it, the drone is captured, and you lose the connection. Your next job is to find out where the bee drone is. Head to the spot marked in the park. At this point, you’ll see four nearby buildings marked. The right one is the third from the top, as shown on the map below.
Go up to the rooftop and stand on the antenna to reconnect with the drone. Now, you’ll take control of the drone inside the room. Shoot the containers in the room to let the bees out, which will make the criminals open the door. Then, defeat all of them to finish this experiment.
8) Brooklyn Heights: Energy (Downtown Brooklyn)
In this experiment, you need to use web-wings to go up to a certain height and place wind turbines. To start, go to the marked spot to begin the EMF Experiments – Brooklyn Heights: Energy.
To do this experiment, you need to glide through the air using web-wings until you reach a certain height to set up wind turbines. You can achieve this by following the paths of the winds that you can see by scanning.
Once you’ve reached a specific height, you’ll be instructed to put down five turbines.
After you’ve set up all five turbines, one of them may stop working.
Go to the turbine where you’ll need to handle some Talon drones and Hunters. After defeating the enemies, toss the turbine to get it working again and finish the experiment.
9) Emily-May Foundation (Astoria)
This will become available after you have completed all 8 other EMF Experiments. Go to the garage shown in the pictures below and interact with the box there. Then interact with the terminal and solve the Plant Attributes puzzle. The puzzle solution for my game is shown in the third picture below. This completes the experiment.
