This guide will list all the Mysterium locations in Spider-Man 2. Read on to find out: how to earn a gold rating in each challenge and get the “Behind the Masks” trophy.
What are Mysteriums in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and why are they needed?
The ability to complete the Mysteriums appears after completing main quest 13 “Hunt to Live, Live to Hunt.” For completing each small task you can receive a bronze, silver or gold rating, depending on how successfully you coped with the conditions.

How to complete all Mysteriums in Spider-Man 2
Locations with Mysteriums are located on the territory of 8 districts. You can complete the first 9 in any convenient order, and the final part, the battle with Mysterio, will open only after completing the previous ones. Next, we will tell you in more detail how to complete all the tasks and show the location of each point on the map.

- Gold: 0 hits received.
- Silver: < 3 strokes.

The main problem when completing this mission is Mysterio - he deals damage with ranged projectiles. Attacks are divided into two types: a huge skull - you can simply throw it away, and a rapid-fire laser, the blow of which is no longer so easy to dodge. A finisher will help you deal with the latter; charge it and use it on the laser if it appears.
