Completing all Emily-May Foundation activities across New York City is essential for players aiming to achieve total completion in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. These side tasks feature unique scientific mini-games and mini-narratives that reward Peter Parker with valuable resources and exclusive suits. Finding every workstation requires exploring various neighborhoods and advancing far enough into the main story campaign.
Unlocking the EMF Stations Across the Map
The foundation side missions become accessible after completing the early story quest titled Healing the World. Once unlocked, eight initial stations appear throughout the city districts, including Chinatown, Hell's Kitchen, and Central Park. Players must control Peter Parker to interact with these kiosks, as Miles Morales cannot initiate the experiments.
Navigating through the city to locate these workstations is made simpler by checking the open-world map or using the in-game companion app. Each region contains specific categories of science projects, ranging from botanical research to alternative energy testing.
Plant Science and Bee Drone Locations
Plant Science stations can be found scattered in Little Tokyo, Portside within Hell's Kitchen, and Two Bridges in the Financial District. These missions focus on gathering plant samples, identifying genetic sequences, and solving puzzle alignments on the workstation computer. Completing these tasks helps improve local agricultural initiatives and food distribution systems.
Bee Drone experiments take place in Central Park, Queens Apiary in Little Odessa, and Prospect Park in Downtown Brooklyn. In these challenges, players pilot a miniature drone to shoot targets, eliminate pests, and track avian predators. Mastering the drone controls allows Peter to gather crucial ecological data for the foundation.
Energy Testing and the Final Unlocks
Energy experiments are positioned in the northwest corner of Central Park and near the bridge in Brooklyn Heights. These objectives involve field testing renewable technology, such as riding a high-powered electric bicycle through designated checkpoints. Successfully testing these prototypes contributes directly to green energy research in the city.
The ninth and final station, located at Peter's home in Astoria, remains hidden until players complete all prior eight experiments and finish the main storyline. Visiting this location after the credits roll unlocks the final narrative closure, earning players the Foundational trophy alongside the iconic Life Story Suit reward.
