Marko’s Memories are a type of collectible in Spider-Man 2 that take the form of large orange crystals containing Sandman’s memories. They are easily recognizable due to their distinct appearance and the large sand cloud hovering over them.
You can start collecting them after completing the main quest One Thing At A Time in Act 2. Following that you can obtain a memory by defeating all nearby enemies and then smashing the crystal as either Miles or Peter.
There are a total of 15 memories that are scattered across all of the Districts. Finding all of them unlocks the Grains of Sand achievement in Spider-Man 2, which is also required for 100 percent District completion.
So whether you are a completionist or an achievement hunter, you will need to acquire these memories, so let’s look into where you can find them.

Together Again (final memory before Remember)

How to complete Remember in Spider-Man 2
To complete the Remember mission in Spider-Man 2, you need to first follow the giant golden ball emitting Marko’s voice deeper into the memory realm.
It will lead you to a circular, reinforced crystal with Together Again memory in the center. To break through the spiked barrier, you need to throw the rocks nearby towards it. During this, Marko’s Sandman clones will spawn and attack you, similar to how you got the other Memories.
After you break through, you will get the Together Again Marko’s Memory in the center but you still have a few things to do before you can complete the Remember mission.
After you have collected all previous 14 Marko’s Memories, MJ will contact you about an address Marko has been repeating that you would want to look into.
The address will lead you to a small grey house on Van Doren St. in northern Astoria. Knock on the door for a small cut-scene for the last Marko’s Memory which will unlock the Grain of Sand achievement and complete the Remember side story.
Spider-Man 2 – Marko’s Memories Rewards
