Spider-Man 2 All EMF Experiment Locations & Solutions

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has 9 EMF Experiment locations. These collectibles are needed for 100% District completion and unlock the trophy Foundational. These first become available after Mission 7: Healing the World, then can be completed when playing as Peter. These are marked on the map in defogged areas, or when the entire district is defogged at the second district level. The final location becomes available after the story and completing the prior 8 locations.

EMF Experiments require you to go to the specified location, and then complete a minigame. None of them are missable, they can still be found after the story in free-roam.
