All Marko’s Memories locations in Spider-Man 2

The opening sequence of Spider-Man 2 is a massive, technical showpiece of an encounter with the iconic villain Sandman, aka Flint Marko. Despite Peter and Miles thwarting the villain’s rampage in the opening hours, his impact on the map — and the game at large — is far from over. Even after being sent away to prison on The Raft, Sandman has left behind mysterious crystals that are causing trouble all across the city. These become one of the many side activities you can participate in between main missions for some extra rewards like City Tokens. While they are all optional, completing each of these Marko’s Memories activities does uncover a narrative about the troubled man and someone close to him that is well worth exploring. Besides, you will need to clean them all up if you want to fully complete the game anyway, so let’s detail where you can find each of Marko’s Memories in Spider-Man 2.

There are 14 crystals scattered across the various boroughs of Spider-Man 2‘s New York, but just like with other collectibles like Prowler Stashes, you will have to wait for some to unlock as you make story progress. Additionally, the 14th and final memory won’t be available until you’ve gotten all the others, and it leads to the quest’s final objective. These will show up as an orange crystal on your map, but you can also spot them from all the sand they create around the area. When you approach one, you will need to fight a few waves of sand enemies before you can grab the crystal, crack it open, and hear the memory inside. Here’s which borough you should be looking for them in, and how many there are in each.

Financial District – 4

Downtown Brooklyn – 1

Williamsburg – 1

Chinatown – 2

Greenwich – 1

Midtown – 2

Central Park – 1

Little Odessa – 1

Once you’ve collected the initial 13 and spoken to Sandman over the phone, you will be directed to the final memory location. This time you will be brought into a new zone where you need to follow a light to the final, massive crystal. Your task here is to web and swing large rocks in the area and toss them at the crystal to crack it open while fighting off an infinite number of Sandman enemies. Use your gadgets and abilities to make room, and use the rocks themselves as cover to block any ranged attacks while you take the time to tie up and sling the rocks.

After grabbing the final memory, without spoiling the plot, Marko asks you to do one last thing with the now complete crystal you’ve collected. A waypoint will direct you far north into Queens to a house where you can trigger the final cutscene and finish off this sidequest. Unfortunately, there are no special suit rewards for this specific task, unlike The Flame or Mysteriums, but you do get a decent chunk of XP and move one step closer to 100% completion.

Spider-Man 3: everything we know so far

There were still some loose threads left hanging after the end of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 that begged for a sequel. Besides also being one of the best superhero games of all time, these games are easily two of the best PS5 games you can play so another entry was always assumed to be coming just like Ghost of Yotei. We know that a Wolverine game is also in the works, but Spider-Man 3 might not be as far down the list of upcoming PS5 games as you might think. We've used our spider senses to web up all the details there are so far about Spider-Man 3.

While a lot isn't known about this game, we do know it won't be on our lists of upcoming Xbox Series X games or upcoming Switch games lists, but there are plenty of games coming to those platforms you should read up on.

The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa, raises their fingers to the sky in WWE 2K25.

One of the biggest draws to any WWE game is getting to embody your favorite wrestler in their prime. WWE 2K25 is taking the entire wrestling genre to new levels with some of the most ambitious modes and features we've seen in the franchise. We know we will be able to face off in all the traditional modes, but now there will be an open world to explore with various quests and optional challenges. As cool as these modes sound, it wouldn't make much difference if your childhood favorite wasn't playable. 2K has already claimed that WWE 2K25 will feature the "biggest roster ever" but not everyone can be included. We now know the entire playable roster the game will have at launch, plus a few more that are locked behind preorders and DLC If you want to know if your favorite star is in the game, here's the full list.

All Strange Inscription picture locations in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

The first major hub area in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is none other than Vatican City. This city is brimming with optional activities, such as hunting down all the Medicine Bottles so you can upgrade your HP. There's one puzzle you will get that is more of a scavenger hunt than something like the Sacred Wounds puzzle from earlier in the game, and it involves photographing four Strange Inscriptions around the map. We'll show you how to take the perfect picture to solve this puzzle.

Your objective at this point is simply to "collect photographs of inscriptions" from the map you're given. However, if you're unfamiliar with this map or how to take a proper picture, this can all be a bit confusing.
