Although the superhero stuff will be the bulk of the experience when it comes to Insomniac Games' Marvel's Spider-Man 2, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales still have lives outside their costumes and masks. For the latter, that means school at Brooklyn Visions Academy and an impending college application.
While keeping up his grades is important, Miles also takes time out from time to time to help out his fellow students at BV. This includes a stint as Spider-Man to solve problems that a normal student usually cannot deal with, so for players getting stumped by the senior prank pulled by rivals Midtown High, this guide will have the necessary steps to save Lance the mascot from an unknown fate.
One Marvel's Wolverine Feature Will Likely Be a Lot Less Extensive Than in Spider-Man 2
Time will tell how similar Marvel's Wolverine will be to the Marvel's Spider-Man games, but one feature could be comparatively toned down.
How to Solve the Mirror Puzzles in Marvel's Spider-Man 2
The starting stages of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will see Miles returning to his actual life as a student at BV, and this will also be an occasion where certain students will reach out for help via the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app. One of those will involve a senior prank that sees Lance the mascot getting taken away by Midtown High, which can only be resolved by using Miles' smarts.
First Mirror Puzzle
After talking to the worried students, head on over to the first location after some discussions with Hailey. On this rooftop will be the first mirror puzzle that must be overcome. The key is to direct the beam of light to its final destination, which will reveal a hint to the next location.
Locate the first mirror right ahead and yank it into position using L1+R1. Continue following the beam to the next mirror and do the same. Eventually, the light beam will be stopped in its track by a crate --break it apart to allow the beam to pass. Move the final cart into position, and a message will be revealed on a nearby wall.
Second Mirror Puzzle
Getting Hailey's help once again, get Miles to the next location in New York, which is surrounded by some really cool artwork and murals. Start by moving the source of the light beam into position to hit the next mirror on the other side.
Next, move the cart blocking the light away by yanking on it with Miles' web. Follow the beam and arrive at a mirror with a purple base. Keep rotating it until it reflects the beam of light towards the west.
This will cause the light to arrive at a wall, but not the right one needed to carry on. Pull on the nearby cart to move the next mirror into position, then follow that up by adjusting the next mirror with a purple base. Repeat the process with the next cart and purple mirror; eventually, the next message on the wall will be revealed.

Third Mirror Puzzle
For the final puzzle, it is going to be a longer one that has two alternating paths, which are the red and blue paths. Either can be solved first, as they are both needed for the final answer to appear to Miles.
Beginning with the blue path, rotate the central purple mirror to face the right and follow the light beam. This will lead to the level below, where the first mirror can be yanked to direct the light to the left. At the next purple diamond mirror, follow the arrows on the ground and rotate it so that the light beam goes on the blue path.
Jump across to the next building, and do the same for this purple diamond mirror here as well. Break the crate blocking the way, and finally get back to the central mirror where the final blue mirror is. Rotate it, so the light hits the opposite wall for the first answer.
For the red path, adjust the central mirror to face the opposite direction now before going to the familiar purple diamond mirror below. Tweak it to follow the red path and jump across to the next diamond mirror. Make the change for the red path to become viable, and then adjust the final red mirror so that the light arrives at the bottom of the solution wall.
Now that Miles has the final answer, simply head to the location in question and use L1+R1 to spin the wheel in the corner next to the shutters. This will open it up and reveal the location of Lance. Carry the mascot and head back to BV to complete this mission.
