Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Guide: All Collectibles

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has 69 collectibles for you to find. You can view the locations of these marked on the game's map of New York City by pushing the touchpad during gameplay at any time. You can also find a checklist for each district by hovering over each sector of the city. Clockwise from the north, the map is divided into the following areas:

• Harlem
• Upper East Side
• Midtown
• Chinatown
• Financial District
• Greenwich
• Hell's Kitchen
• Upper West Side
• Central Park

Rewards for collectibles differ depending on the type, but you'll generally earn Activity Tokens and Tech Parts, which can be spent on new suits, gadgets, and upgrades. You'll also earn XP, which boosts your overall level and earns you Skill Points.

Postcards

Postcards represent one of the primary collectibles in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and you'll get the first one once you complete the Cat's Pyjamas side-mission. There are 8 Postcards in total to find, each triggering a scavenger hunt. You'll find the Postcard's general location marked by a purple icon on your map. Travel to this area to trigger the scavenger hunt. You need to use the clue from your previously collected postcard to find the next one. You'll earn 5 Activity Tokens for your efforts. We've included a guide with all Postcard clues and solutions below:

Location	Clue	Solution
National History Museum	Facing the park, with the world on our shoulders, we guard our next clue.
Empire State Building	High atop the Empire State, you'll find a pair of blind eyes.
Modern Art Museum	Find the fossil hiding among the modern. Don't forget to look up!

CJ Walker Park	Beneath the hoop where you learned to fly, your journey comes to an end.

Sound Samples

Sound Samples acknowledge Miles Morales' musical background, and are made available once you've made progress in the story. There are 10 Sound Samples to find, and they're marked on the map by a Prowler symbol. Once you head to their location, you'll find a green hologram that you need to interact with to begin the side-mission. You need to listen to the sample that plays and match it by moving around and paying attention to the sounds in the real world. Once you have a match, press the R3 button to record it, and you'll earn 5 Activity Tokens for your troubles.

Time Capsules

Time Capsules represent one of the primary collectibles in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. There are 16 Time Capsules to find, and they're marked on the map by a green clock symbol. To complete these you simply need to set a waypoint to them by selecting them on your map, and then interact with them in the world. Sometimes there are minor puzzles associated with these, but these conundrums typically involve moving an object out of the way. Once you collect a Time Capsule, an item will be added to the Collections section of the main menu. You'll earn 3 Activity Tokens for finding a Time Capsule.

Underground Caches

Underground Caches are scattered all around New York City. There are 35 Underground Caches to locate, and you'll find them marked on the map by a blue sealed box symbol. Once you're in the vicinity of one, push the R3 button to begin tracking it. Your mini-map will provide you with a rough area of where to look, and you just need to pay attention to your tracker until you locate it. You'll usually find the Underground's logo to direct you to the right location. You'll earn 1 Tech Parts for your efforts.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Guide: All Activities

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has 25 activities for you to complete, many of which are unlocked and added to the map as you progress through the story.

Completing Activities will generally reward you with Activity Tokens and Tech Parts, though you can maximise your earnings in these areas by completing Bonus Objectives.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man App

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man App activities are the only activities not shown on the map. Instead, you need to swipe left on the touchpad whenever you're exploring the open world to bring it up. You'll find two categories here: Activities and Crimes. Depending on what you select will trigger different missions. You'll also stumble upon Crimes when navigating New York City, as marked by a red exclamation point.

Spider-Training

Spider-Training activities are marked by orange icons on the map and are divided into three categories: Combat, Traversal, and Stealth. There are three completion tiers to each challenge, with each one rewarding you with an Activity Token. You'll also get a gameplay modifying bonus for completing each of these as well, which will upgrade your abilities in combat, locomotion, or stealth. To begin a Spider-Training activity, simply travel to the location marked on the map and interact with the computer left behind by Peter Parker to begin the activity.

Roxxon Labs

Roxxon Labs are marked by red Roxxon symbols on the map and represent secret locations where the nefarious organisation is developing Nuform. You'll unlock 4 Activity Tokens and 3 Tech Parts for completing these, although there are Bonus Objectives which will reward you with an additional 2 Activity Tokens for your work. To begin a Roxxon Labs mission, travel to its location on your map and look for the lab's entrance using the R3 button.

You'll unlock 4 Activity Tokens and 3 Tech Parts for your troubles, although there are Bonus Objectives which will reward you with an additional 2 Activity Tokens if completed. To initiate an Underground Hideout, travel to the location marked on your map and it will begin once you enter the area.

Once you've successfully defeated all of your foes, you'll need to locate a nearby jammer by pushing the R3 button and then disable it with your Venom powers.

Overall, this is a fairly straightforward list to complete, but do keep in mind that you'll need to play through the game twice in order to unlock everything, as New Game + is a requirement.

100x Combo!!!

Silver: Perform a 100x Combo

Performing a 100x combo in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will take a little bit of patience and practice.

You can replay any Roxxon Labs or Underground Hideouts, so practice until you nail it.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Guide: Tips and Tricks

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is not a particularly difficult game, but you may be searching for some tips and tricks to help get you started with the game. For the next part of our Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales guide, we're going to list out some pointers to help you make the most of the release before you jump in.

Find the Right Difficulty for You

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales has a number of different difficulty settings, ranging from very easy all the way through to very hard. You can change this at any time if you're finding the game too simple or too challenging, so don't worry too much at the beginning. If you find yourself dying a lot then maybe consider dialling down the difficulty; there are no gameplay penalties for doing this.

Learn How to Swing

If this is your first time playing a Marvel's Spider-Man game, then once you're let loose into the open world, we recommend you spend a little bit of time learning how to swing. Mastering the game's locomotion can be tough at first, but set aside a bit of time to practice. Remember, you want to leap out of your swings using the X button for maximum momentum. You can also pull yourself towards objects like chimneys and railings and propel yourself from these. Once you're feeling confident, start adding in some tricks with the Square button in order to ensure you feel like a true superhero.

Spend Time Doing Side-Missions

While the story of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is extremely engaging, we recommend you don't just focus on the main missions. Instead, you'll want to complete side-missions and various open world activities, as this will earn you XP and new suits which will improve your overall performance in combat. The side-missions also help flesh out Miles as a character and really add to his story, so don't skip them and race to the credits.

Always Upgrade

Whether it's new Skill Points for increasing your level or gadget upgrades, be sure to stay on top of Miles' character progression so he's always at his most effective. You'll be able to unlock almost everything by the time you 100 per cent the game, so you don't have to think too hard about what improvements you select, but do make sure you're enhancing the character at every opportunity you get, because that'll make you more potent in combat as you reach the more challenging missions towards the end of the game.

Thin Out Enemies in Stealth

Miles Morales can turn invisible, and that makes him particularly effective in stealth. While he's also a very effective fighter, we recommend you clear out enemy hideouts and labs as much as possible while undercover first. Then, once you've thinned the numbers, you can come out swinging with your fists. This makes encounters generally more manageable, and it allows you to fully enjoy both sides of the protagonist's skillsets.

And that just about wraps up our Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales guide. Thanks for reading, and hopefully this helped you to unlock your Platinum Trophy and 100% competition in the game. If you have any further tips, tricks, or hints then please do be sure to share those in the comments section below.
