Trophy Breakdown
Here's how the 42 trophies in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 split across the four tiers:
The list is story completion, city collectibles, side missions and a few combat/gadget challenges. No missables, no difficulty gate — just a tour of the whole game.
How Hard Is the Spider-Man 2 Platinum?
Insomniac keeps it friendly: no missable trophies thanks to full post-game free roam and chapter select. It's story completion plus collectibles, side missions and a handful of combat and gadget challenges. If you enjoy the game, the platinum comes naturally.
There isn't a real difficulty barrier. A couple of combat-challenge trophies ask for specific parry or gadget-finisher counts, but chapter select and full post-game free roam mean nothing is ever permanently lost. The biggest 'risk' is simply forgetting to mop up a district before you call it done.
How It Compares to Similar Platinums
On our difficulty scale the Spider-Man 2 platinum sits at 4/10 (very achievable) and takes roughly 25–35 hours, so it helps to see where it lands next to similar games. It sits below tougher grinds like God of War Ragnarök and God of War Ragnarök, which makes it a solid stepping stone before you take those on.
| Game | Difficulty | Time | Trophies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (this guide) | 4/10 (very achievable) | 25–35 hrs | 42 |
| God of War Ragnarök | 5/10 (moderate) | 40–55 hrs | 36 |
| Ghost of Tsushima | 4/10 (very achievable) | 45–60 hrs | 52 |
| Hogwarts Legacy | 4/10 (very achievable) | 50–60 hrs | 46 |
The Smartest Way to Approach It
Play the story for fun, then use free roam to sweep the map district by district — completing a district bundles several collectible trophies at once. Knock out the combat and gadget trophies during normal encounters rather than grinding them separately, and save the collectible cleanup for after the credits when the whole city is open.
Because there are no missables, don't stress about order during the campaign — just play. Once the credits roll, open the map and target districts at 90%+ first for quick completion pops, then chase the last few Prowler stashes, Marko's Memories and EMF experiments. The photo-op trophies double as a tour of the city, so grab them while you're already swinging between objectives.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Trophy Roadmap
Finish the main story first. Several trophies unlock automatically through the campaign, and completing it opens up full free roam for the cleanup phase.
Open the map and complete each district — collectibles, Prowler stashes, Marko's Memories and EMF experiments. Districts bundle multiple trophies, so finishing one at a time is the fastest route.
Work through the side-mission chains such as the Flame and the Hunter Blinds, plus the various city activities that carry their own trophies.
Clear the combat, gadget and photo-mode trophies. Use gadget finishers and parries during normal fights so most of these pop without dedicated grinding.
Use free roam and the map's completion tracker to hunt down any final stragglers, then enjoy one of the smoothest platinums on PS5.
Trickiest Trophies in Spider-Man 2
Combat challenges — a couple ask for parry or finisher counts — easy once you know the timing.
City 100% — clearing every district at once covers most collectible trophies.
No true missables — post-game free roam means nothing is permanently lost.
Gadget mastery — using every gadget's finisher a set number of times — do it naturally in fights.
Photo ops — a handful of landmark photos are easy to forget while swinging past them.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Calling the game 'done' before checking each district's completion percentage for a stray collectible.
Grinding combat challenges in isolation instead of letting them accrue through normal play.
Forgetting that free roam reopens everything post-credits — there's no need to rush cleanup mid-story.
Skipping side-mission chains that quietly carry their own trophies.
Tips to Platinum Spider-Man 2 Faster
Save collectible cleanup for after the credits — the whole city stays open.
Chase district completion; it bundles several trophies together.
Do the photo-op trophies while you're already swinging past landmarks.
Use gadget finishers in normal fights so the combat-challenge trophies come naturally.
Check the map's completion percentage per region to spot the last stray collectible.
