Marko’s Memories is one of the side missions in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which will make you feel like a true hero upon completion. Your primary objective is to help Sandman through his emotional struggles, despite his outburst in New York City at the beginning of the game.

I won’t spoil anything for you. His emotional struggle literally broke his mind, as MJ claims after the prologue. His shattered mind got collected into different crystals scattered all over New York. Now, you have to search for and collect these crystals. It’s not an easy task, though.

Whenever you reach a crystal, little Sandman Goons will start popping up. You will then have to fight each of them off before you can collect the memory crystal. It’s as simple as it sounds, but the combat can be a bit challenging depending upon your personal experience and difficulty level.

The first crystal will be a part of the second main quest in the game. After that, it will unlock as a side mission that you can complete in the open world. These collectibles will reveal each part about Sandman’s story and why he lost his cool at the start of the game. But where are Marko’s memories?

After unlocking the first memory through the second main quest, you are free to explore all the crystals on your own. There is no chronology to them. There is no clear canon for these missions either. You can complete these activities at your leisure. Moreover, there is no specific order to these memories. The story will unravel as planned. There is no correct order.

Also, don’t forget that you have to spot these yourself. They don’t get marked on your map right away. So, get on a high building, scan the area using your spider-sense, and locate an undiscovered (discolored) beacon. You can also look for a place with brown smoke rising up. That’s where the crystal will be.

With that in mind, look for these crystals in the following places:

Financial District (4)

  • The first one you will get is through the main mission as we discussed above.
  • The second crystal in the district can be found all the way at the bottom in the park near the coast.
  • The third crystal is south-east of this region (north-east from the second crystal spot) on a building.
  • The fourth crystal in the district is all the way in the north, in the middle of four buildings.

China Town (2)

  • The fifth crystal is in the far west of the region at the back of an alley next to a dumpster. This location is very close to the east border of the Financial District.
  • The sixth one can be found north from the middle of the Chinatown region on top of a building.

Greenwich (1)

  • You will find the seventh crystal in the middle of a residential block inside a basketball court.

Midtown (2)

  • In the south-west area of this region, you will find the eighth crystal in the middle of all buildings on the ground.
  • You can go east from the center of this region and eventually come across the ninth crystal, too.

Central Park (1)

  • Come to the south side of the park, and you will find the tenth crystal near the pond.

Little Odessa (1)

  • Go all the way north of this region to find the eleventh crystal on a building.

Williamsburg (1)

  • Head to the western coast of this region, and the twelfth crystal will be on top of a building.

Downtown Brooklyn (1)

  • There is a park in this region if you look closely enough. You will find the thirteenth crystal in the middle of a few buildings if you head west from this park.

The Final Crystal?

There is also a final crystal once you collect all thirteen of them. The game might only show 13 crystals in the collectible menu. That’s because the last crystal only pops up once you have collected everything else. You just have to grab it and run a small errand. It will then lead to a cute cutscene and then some heartwarming news from the doctors overlooking Sandman.
