Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Marko’s Memories: how to complete and where to find them
Wondering what Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Marko’s Memories are? The collectible helps you understand who the infamous Sandman is, so here’s everything you need to know about them.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has a whole city full of villains for you to punch up and web. From Venom to The Lizard, to Kraven and more, you’re not going to be want for bad guys to stop.
While some are evil incarnate, there are others that are a little more sympathetic. That goes for the very first one you meet in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Flint Marko rampages through the streets of Manhattan in the first mission in the game, which is out of character for him, as he’d seemingly been on the straight and narrow. It appears something set him off though, forcing him to take up his old ways.
However, what was it? Is he back to just being Sandman or is there something else going on? In order to get to the bottom of it, you are going to need to clear out all of Marko’s Memories located throughout New York.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’ Marko Memories: how to complete
In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Marko’s Memories are an event you can partake in to retrieve one of the Sandman’s memories. Due to some kind of sand-person process, Marko’s memories crystalize, allowing the Spider-Men to get insight into what’s going on with Flint.
There are 14 to collect. In order to do this, you need to go to one of the Marko’s Memories events on the map. Or, you can look for a site where sand is rising into the air.
Once there, you will be attacked by multiple sand versions of Marko. These aren’t too difficult, especially if you have some decent abilities already. Once you clear the two waves of enemies, you should be able to approach the crystal in the area and get the memory.
Where are Marko’s Memories located?
You can find 13 of 14 Marko’s Memories across the map. Here’s where all of them are located:
| Location | Number of Marko’s Memories in area |
|---|---|
| Central Park | 1 |
| Midtown | 2 |
| Greenwich | 1 |
| Chinatown | 2 |
| Financial District | 4 |
| Downtown Brooklyn | 1 |
| Williamsburg | 1 |
| Little Odessa | 1 |
As you collect all of these, you will get a better understanding of what has happened to Sandman and why he attacked.
After you get the first 13, you’ll be given the location of the final Memory. This plays out a bit differently than the others, but after completing it and making a quick trip to Queens, you’ll be treated to a cutscene that gives some closure to Marko’s story.
Completing this side story will reward you with 2000 XP, 20 City Tokens and the “Grains of Salt” trophy.
Otherwise, that’s all you need to know! Now you just need to get out there and beat up some sand people.
