What Is Ultimate Difficulty?

Ultimate difficulty represents the pinnacle of challenge in the game. Expect enemies, including bosses, to exhibit increased health, deal more damage, and display heightened aggression compared to the already formidable Spectacular difficulty (Hard). Therefore, it's advisable to have a firm grip on the game's combat mechanics and maximize your skill, suit tech, and gadget upgrades before venturing into the relentless world of Ultimate mode.

No Difficulty-Related Trophies

Unlike its predecessor, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 doesn't offer specific trophies or achievements tied to the completion of the game on different difficulty settings, including Ultimate. Therefore, tackling Ultimate mode is primarily for those seeking an intense gaming challenge. Moreover, it remains unconfirmed whether completing the game on Ultimate unlocks new suits, abilities, upgrades, or additional content.
