Spider-Man 2 Evolved trophy: How to defeat 100 enemies with Evolved Venom abilities
No, it's not the Venom you're thinking of.
The Spider-Man 2 Evolved trophy is a tricky one. Not because of the requirements needed to complete the trophy, but because of the confusion surrounding the many uses of the word Venom in the PS5 game.
It's been made pretty clear since Spider-Man 2 was announced that the alien symbiote Venom would feature quite heavily.
What many of us forgot about was Miles's electrical powers which also go by the name of Venom. This is where the uncertainty stems from.
Listen to our One More Life podcast - the new episode is about Spider-Man 2!
So, while Peter and Miles both get their own form of Venom powers, only one of them is needed for this specific trophy.
To make things simpler, head below for all the requirements for the Spider-Man 2 Evolved trophy and how to complete them.

How to get Spider-Man 2 Evolved trophy
To unlock the 'Evolved' silver trophy in Spider-Man 2, the description states that you must defeat 100 enemies with Evolved Venom abilities.
These are the bio-electric Venom power abilities that were first introduced in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and make up a large part of the character's combat.
Miles learns Venom Powers as the story progresses, with four abilities in total available to unlock. These abilities include:
- Chain Lightning – target an enemy with a bolt of lightning that chains to two more enemies
- Thunder Burst – instantly reach distant targets and land with a burst of evolved Venom that knocks down a group of enemies
- Reverse Flux – Release an Evolved Venom Energy pulse that pulls enemies in
- Galvanize – Launch an enemy, shocking them and nearby enemies. Attack airborne enemy to release more lightning strikes
To use any of these abilities in combat, hold the L1 button and then press either X, O, square or triangle to activate.
These need to be used to defeat 100 enemies over the course of the game, whether that be in the story, side missions or general open play in New York City.
A handy video showing how to use the Venom powers and the trophy popping up on screen can be seen below.
During our Spider-Man 2 review, we found the PS5 superhero exclusive to be "the best case yet" to pick up a console: "If you're a fan of superhero games, swing into this one as soon as you can, and we don't think you'll regret it!"
