Spider-Man 2 Marko's Memories are a collectible that's threaded throughout the game. Despite Sandman being the first villain you handle as part of the game's tutorial, Flint Marko has a lasting legacy throughout Marvel's Spider-Man 2, as the various crystals that make up his mind have fallen throughout the city and need retrieving.
To collect the remaining Spider-Man 2 Memory Crystals and piece together Marko's thoughts, you need to find each of their locations and then defeat waves of Sand Minions to clear the area, before breaking open the crystal and collecting the shard. If you want to complete this extra task, then here's where to find all of Marko's Memories in Spider-Man 2.
Spider-Man 2 Marko's Memories locations
There are a total of 14 Marko's Memories in Spider-Man 2, and I've marked their locations on the map above. Note that you collect the first Memory Crystal automatically as part of the opening story missions, and the last Marko's Memory mission only unlocks once you've completed all of the others, which you can tackle in any order. You can spot the locations for Marko's Memories if you see a cloud of sand swirling around an area, and they'll also be marked on your map once you get close enough.
How to complete the Remember mission for Marko's Memories in Spider-Man 2
Remember is the final Marko's Memories mission in Spider-Man 2, and it functions a little differently to the others. Instead of defeating a horde of angry Sand Minions to clear a city area of its dusty covering, you're instead teleported to a new environment for the final fight. For the first part you need to follow a ball of light, and for some reason I found it very difficult to pass through the opening in the terrain to reach the next area, so try to find an anchor point nearby to swing yourself up to it.
Next, you need to break off the spikes protecting the last remaining Memory Crystal, by throwing objects at it. Once you start doing this you'll be attacked by Sand Minions, but you should ignore/dodge them while continuing to throw objects as they won't stop coming until the spikes are all destroyed. With the final Memory Crystal obtained, you can construct them into a statue then deliver it to Marko's daughter Keemia, to complete this side story.
