Wondering how to get the black suit and your Symbiote powers back in Marvel's Spider-Man 2? Unlocking the Venom Symbiote abilities is a highlight of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which means losing them thanks to events in the story is a bit disappointing - though it's understandable as having an evil alien bonded to you isn't ideal. Thankfully, your enhanced powers and even the black suits aren't gone for good, so here's how to get your Black Suit and Symbiote powers back in Spider-Man 2.

Warning: very mild spoilers ahead for the plot of Spider-Man 2.

All the Symbiote powers, skills, and abilities you've unlocked will be regained if you progress the story far enough – specifically to the story mission "Set Things Right". You won't get the black suit back at this point, but you will have all the effects of it.

Once you complete the main story, you'll unlock the cosmetic aspect of both the Black Suit and the more monstrous-looking Symbiote Suit. That means you change into these suits at any point, now simply part of the path to collecting all Spider-Man 2 suits. And, to be clear, these suits aren't tied to any of your Symbiote abilities either.
