All 6 EMF Experiments (Mysterio side quest)

Mysterio's EMF Experiments — all 6 puzzles, their puzzle tricks, and the suit reward.

All 6 EMF Experiments (Mysterio side quest)

Mysterio doesn't appear in Spider-Man 2 as a boss — he runs 6 EMF Experiments as a side mission chain. Each is a holographic-illusion combat puzzle that ends with a punch-line.

The 6 experiments

  1. The Subway — clear waves while dodging illusion-trains. Stay outside the yellow rails.
  2. The Bodega — fight illusion-thugs who only take damage from finisher attacks. Build the finisher meter on the one real enemy.
  3. The Rooftop — illusion-gravity flips up/down. Watch the skybox shadow to know which is real.
  4. The Park — illusion-trees move; track the one with the matching shadow.
  5. The Bridge — illusion-Spideys fight you. Two are illusions, one has no health bar — focus that one.
  6. The Theater — final. Mysterio reveals the punch-line: each "experiment" was a stage for a benefit-show stunt.

Puzzle trick (universal)

The HUD compass dot flickers when you're targeting an illusion. Real targets give a solid dot. Use this on every experiment.

Reward

  • Mysterio Suit for Peter (rare alt; not in the base unlock pool).
  • "Stage Show" trophy (silver) and 1500 XP.

If stuck: if experiment #5 (the Bridge) keeps killing you, you're attacking the illusion Spideys — the one without a health bar is real.
