The Mister Negative mission — choice and consequences
Martin Li (Mister Negative) returns as a side character — not a boss, but a moral checkpoint. The side mission "The Restoration" offers a choice late in the questline.
The choice
At the end of the mission, Li asks Peter to let him go free so he can run a recovery program for ex-symbiote victims. Two options:
- Trust him — let him walk away. Triggers a follow-up email questline 2 hours later.
- Hand him over to Yuri — closes the questline immediately. Yuri sends a thank-you note.
Consequences
- Trust him → the follow-up unlocks the "Hope" Suit (a white-and-gold Peter variant) and a final dialogue with the Tinkerer (Phin, Miles's arc connection).
- Hand him over → the "Justice" Suit (a dark-blue Peter variant) unlocks immediately. Different aesthetic, identical stats.
Stat note
Both suits have the same suit power (Resilience). The only difference is the visual.
Achievement
The "Hope or Justice" trophy (silver) unlocks on either choice — it's not gated to one. NG+ players can swap on the second run.
If stuck: if the choice prompt won't appear, you must complete all 3 prior Restoration steps first (the Bowery group meeting, the F.E.A.S.T. visit, and the Coney boardwalk talk).
