All EMF Experiments & How to Complete Them in Spider-Man 2

With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bringing the dynamic duo of Peter Parker y Miles Morales together for a grand adventure, players are going to be kept busy keeping the Big Apple safe from the bad guys while trying to do as much good as possible. Just like in previous games, there are plenty of other side activities to get up to, including some that will test your puzzling skills. To help players out, this Guía to all EMF Experiments y how to complete them in Spider-Man 2 will definitely come in handy.

What are EMF Experiments in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?

As players progress through the main story of Spider-Man 2, a reunion between Harry Osborn y Peter Parker results in the two partnering in order to create a brighter future for the world.

Peter then joins Harry by working at the Emily-May Foundation, or EMF. It is here where the brightest minds get together to try to make the world a better place using technology y knowledge. The EMF experiments done here help to create better plants for food, secure the long-term future of bees, y much more.

The first taste of this noble endeavor comes during Peter’s first visit to the EMF, where he is introduced to the idea of splicing genetic materials to create improved plants. This will start a puzzling section in which the right hexagonal segments have to be placed in a grid so that specific requirements are met. Only compatible sides of different hexagons can connect to each other. This means that connecting sides need to have the matching color y number of prongs.

The solutions for this tutorial section are as follows:

For the first puzzle, you simply need to connect all of the sides of the Plant hexagons with Four White Lines on them.

The second puzzle is a little more complex, as you’ll need to find a Hexagon that can connect to whatever you place to the right, upper left, y lower left of it. The Sun hexagon is the correct choice here.

The third puzzle, while a bit more complex due to it requiring you to use a certain number of each hexagon type, isn’t too difficult as long as you take it one step at a time. Keep in mind which connections you’ll create with each new hexagon you put down.

Following this introduction, the wider open world of New York will have more opportunities for players to do their part in saving the Earth for future generations. Peter is the only one who can complete these challenges, so keep that in mind. Also, not all EMF experiments will appear immediately, so carry on with the main story if there are no more left.

Upon arriving at the location above, players can interact with the table in front of them to start the EMF experiment, with a focus on splicing plants once more. Before the calibration process starts though, you’ll need to collect several plant samples around the building. Use R3 to detect these plants easily, which can be found through tracing their roots. After that, head to their locations y hit Triangle to grab them once you are close enough.

To find the first plant, head to the side of the building by following the roots. You will be able to grab this one just between some windows.

Now that all viable samples are in hand, return to the experiment table to start the calibration to create the best kind of plant for the conditions. Note that there is a need for two segments with the leaf symbol y another with the H, y as usual, only corresponding connectors can be placed next to each other. For those having trouble, here’s the solution:

Following that, Peter will need to turn on the sprinklers y kickstart the growth of this new plant. Get to the water tower just behind him y use L1 + R1 to interact with the pipes. Unfortunately, the pipes will have several leaks that need some web to seal. Just look for water coming out of the pipes y aim your web shooters at them. There are a total of seven leaks to track down.

The first is directly next to where Spider-Man uses his web to start the water flowing. Seal this up with a quick shot of sticky web.
