EMF experiment puzzles in Spider-Man 2

The puzzles present you with a molecule consisting of four parts – atoms, corruptions, neutral atoms, and bonds. You’re supposed to destroy all the corruptions. However, when you destroy a corruption, it’ll also destroy anything bonded to it. You’re not allowed to destroy any of the normal atoms.

There are a few rules to follow that can help you avoid frustration. First, remember that all atoms that have no bonds will be destroyed. Hence, while you’re destroying corruptions, look ahead and see if it will result in a normal atom having no bonds.

Secondly, don’t destroy any atom that is next to a normal atom. If a neutral atom or a corruption is near a normal atom, that shouldn’t be the one you directly destroy. Instead, look for a way to indirectly destroy it, such as by looking for other corruptors bonded to it.

Lastly, remember that you don’t have to destroy all the neutral atoms. It doesn’t make a difference whether they’re destroyed or not. This makes them good buffers between corruptions and normal atoms.

If you’re still struggling, you can simplify all the puzzles. To do this, open up your settings, then head to your accessibility options.
