Are you a hardcore trophy collector who just picked up Marvel's Spider-Man for the first time? Well, you came to the right place! Trophy hunting can be hard work. It can be even harder due to the fact that you might not even know what you're looking for because of those pesky hidden trophies.

Spider-Man has had plenty of villains over the years, but exactly how many has he had to beat since becoming a hero?
PostsLuckily, most of these hidden trophies are stuff you'll naturally stumble upon as you progress through the game (most are there just to avoid spoiling the campaign), but there are a few hidden trophies that you might have to go out of your way to collect.
Updated on February 06, 2025, by Jon Eakin: Marvel's Spider-Man holds up even after multiple sequels as one of the best games to ever be released on a PlayStation console. Whether you're a veteran webhead or crawling your first wall, we've updated this list to better help you get that sweet platinum trophy.
26 Demons Emerge
Suddenly They Appear
Name
Demons Emerge
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "And the Award Goes To"
Let's start with the achievements that come from just playing the game. "Demons Emerge" will likely be among the first hidden trophies you collect. To get this trophy, all you have to do is complete Act 1 of the campaign, which you'll do if you just play the main story.
Since this is pretty much what you bought the game to do, you'll get this one in no time unless you get easily distracted by side quests and random crimes.
25 Knocking Down Kingpin
You'll Miss Him When He's Gone
Name
Knocking Down Kingpin
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "The Main Event"
"Knocking Down Kingpin" can be obtained by defeating the Kingpin in the first mission of the campaign. Since the first mission is basically a tutorial, you shouldn't have much trouble taking the big guy down once you get used to the controls.
The hardest part is learning how to balance fighting the regular thugs you've encountered up to this point with a much larger opponent. Your first fight with a big guy like Kingpin might provide some difficulty, but rest assured that future encounters with similarly large enemies will be much easier.
24 Shock And Awe
Herman Never Catches A Break
Name
Shock and Awe
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "Financial Shock"
This hidden bronze trophy comes from taking down the second supervillain you'll run into in Act 1, The Shocker! This fight takes place in a large bank, so swinging around to avoid his attacks isn't particularly difficult. Just wait for your moments of opportunity to launch debris and throw a few punches his way.
Soon enough, you'll have an opportunity to drop the chandelier on him and the fight (as well as the trophy) is yours! As long as you make good use of your web swings and spider-sense, you shouldn't have much trouble taking this villain down. Shocker is definitely one of the easier boss fights in the game.
23 The Six Assemble
Well That Doesn't Seem Fair
Name
The Six Assemble
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "Out of the Frying Pan..."
Now that you have all the hidden trophies that can be obtained by completing Act 1, let's move on to "The Six Assemble." This is the bronze trophy you can unlock by completing Act 2 of the game's story.
Since a majority of Act 2 is about dealing with the threat of Mister Negative, you won't encounter many villains the allow you to earn hidden trophies. So it's very likely that this is the next hidden trophy you'll get after "Shock and Awe" unless you spend a lot of time on side quests.
The end of Act 2 happens around the time you meet The Sinister Six at the conclusion of the 36th story mission, "Out of the Frying Pan." As previously mentioned, as long as you don't get overly distracted by all the side quests and crimes around New York, you should get this one in no time!
22 Grounded
Two Bosses But One Trophy
Name
Grounded
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "Picking up the Trail"
Now that Act 3 has started, it's time to kick things up a notch! From here, you'll be getting a lot of hidden trophies fairly quickly. This will likely start with the bronze trophy, "Grounded," which will task you with defeating the first two members of the Sinister 6 you'll meet, Electro and Vulture.

PostsYou'll stay largely airborne for the duration of the fight. Both Electro and Vulture will bombard you with electric bolts or sharp projectiles that ensure you'll be constantly moving.
It doesn't matter which one you take out first, so it'd be wise to focus on one at a time, but always try to be aware of where the other one is. Keep your wits about you and always look for attack opportunities and these two won't stand a chance.
21 Sting And Smash
They Just Can't Get Along
Name
Sting and Smash
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "Heavy Hitter"
This bronze trophy is earned after you face down the next two members of the Sinister 6, Rhino and Scorpion. These two have very different fighting styles, so it can be hard to really focus on either one without the other one almost immediately getting in the way.
You're probably better off focusing on the Rhino as much as possible since you have to try harder to get him in position to attack, but just watch out for acid drops from Scorpion. Be vigilant and precise, and these two will fall like all the others, adding one more trophy to the collection.
20 Staying Positive
Negativity Kills
Name
Staying Positive
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "The Heart of the Matter"
Alright, you've beaten up the other members of the Sinister 6. You've received a hidden trophy for each fight, but now it's time to get the hidden trophy for fighting one of the game's central antagonists, Mister Negative, as he reaches his final form.
This battle requires you to stay on your toes as Mister Negative bombards you with arena-filling attacks and plenty of minions to keep you distracted. He'll often leave himself vulnerable after a series of blows, so wait for everything to die down and go for it! Do this enough times, and you will be victorious, earning yourself this trophy along the way.
19 End Game
Sorry Doc
Name
End Game
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Complete "Pax in Bello"
At long last, you arrive at the game's finale. The only thing standing between you and the "End Game" trophy (which you gain for completing Act 3) is Doctor Octopus. Beat him, and the bronze trophy is yours.

There are plenty of great video games out there based on comic books. These are just some of the best titles available right now.
PostsYou'll want to stay largely airborne for this fight as the rooftop of Oscorp Tower will be a dangerous place to be much of the time. Octavius will try to attack you directly with his arms or throw multiple projectiles at you at any given moment, so it's a smart policy to just keep moving. Take advantage of your suit's ability to refill gadget slots and web the guy up.
Once he's stunned, go in for a strike to deal massive damage. Do this enough times, and you'll enter the boss fight's final stage, which you can pass pretty easily by using your dodge and countering. Soon, you'll find that your efforts have all been worthwhile as you defeat Doc Ock once and for all and proceed into the game's emotional climax.
18 Tombstone Takedown
Not So Invincible
Name
Tombstone Takedown
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Defeat Tombstone
Now that you've earned all the hidden trophies you can get from just playing the main campaign, let's focus on the hidden trophies you can earn from optional side missions. Let's start with "Tombstone Takedown." This bronze trophy can be earned by completing the "Tombstone" three-part side story.
You can beat him pretty much the same way as you did the Kingpin, but he does have a few additional tricks up his sleeve that you'll be able to pick up pretty quickly. Honestly, if you've fought enough larger enemies by this point, you'll probably have little trouble taking him down.
17 Pigeon Hunter
The Infamous Howard
Name
Pigeon Hunter
Type
Bronze
Requirement
Catch all of Howard's pigeons
Early on in the game, you can run into a nice man on a rooftop named Howard. Evidently, you and Howard have met before, and he tells you about how most of his pigeons have gone missing. Being the friendly neighborhood spider that you are, you offer to help him find his pigeons. This starts the side mission that unlocks the "Pigeon Hunter" trophy.
Luckily, the locations of the pigeons will be highlighted on your map. The hard part is just chasing them down because they do not make it easy. Prove your bird-catching abilities and the bronze trophy is yours.
