Tracking down collectibles in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 adds an extra layer of exploration to navigating New York City. Among the various side activities available, collecting Spider-Bots provides players with Tech Parts, experience points, and unique references to Spider-Man lore. The Financial District hosts two specific bots that players must secure to achieve 100% completion in the region.
Finding the Classic Mysterio Spider-Bot
The Classic Mysterio Spider-Bot presents a unique challenge because it is suspended high in the air above the buildings in the Financial District. Players cannot simply climb a wall to grab it; instead, you must find a high vantage point and glide or web-swing directly through its location. Listening for the distinct audio pulse helps pinpoint its exact altitude in the skyline.
Using the Web Wings from a skyscraper peak allows for the smooth traversal needed to intercept this airborne collectible. Once you get close enough to the floating bot, Peter or Miles will automatically collect it mid-air. This mechanism makes it one of the more dynamic collectibles to retrieve in the southern area of Manhattan.
Locating the Spider-Ham Collectible
The second collectible in this district is the Spider-Ham Spider-Bot, located near the eastern border of the zone. Head toward the eastern coastline near a tall structure marked with Damage Control signage. Just northwest of that landmark, look for a building constructed with light gray brick exterior walls.
Wall-crawling near the upper section of the building's southeastern wall will bring you right to the crawling bot. It emits a visible pink pulse and sound cue that makes it easy to spot against the brick backdrop. Collecting this item completes the district's Spider-Bot requirements and rewards you with Tech Parts and XP.
Tips for Spotting Spider-Bots Easily
Searching for these miniature robots can sometimes be tricky due to the tall skyscrapers in the area. Players should keep an eye out for large spherical visual pulses that radiate outward from the bot's location. Turning up game audio also helps, as each unit emits a rhythmic chirping noise when you are nearby.
Clearing the Financial District's collectibles contributes to unlocking the broader secrets tied to the mysterious bot signals across the city. Ensuring you grab both the Classic Mysterio and Spider-Ham variants brings you one step closer to finishing the overall collection.
