Players can start by heading to the Financial District located at the southern end of the map in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. This is the starting point for utilizing their Web Wings to earn the Soar trophy. Prior to taking flight, it is advisable for players to unlock Suit Tech upgrades such as the Amazing Wings Suit Tech, which extends the duration of gliding in the air, and Spectacular Wings, enhancing maneuverability during flight.

To safely traverse the waterfront in the Financial District, utilize R3 to scan the surroundings. This action will unveil a wind tunnel positioned towards the east. Ascend to a higher elevation by either swinging or executing a charged jump, and then press Triangle to engage the Web Wings. Follow the path of the wind tunnel to effortlessly glide across the water, ensuring that you pull up once the final boost is activated.

Now, gently pivot to the left to locate another arrangement of wind tunnels running parallel to a highway, which is still oriented towards the east on this occasion. Make sure to utilize R3 for scanning if the wind tunnels prove challenging to spot. Proceed along the highway and ascend once more. This time, observe the subsequent wind tunnel that becomes visible amidst two buildings, leading north.

At the conclusion of this tunnel, seek out adjacent updrafts directly ahead to gain additional altitude. This will facilitate reaching the adjacent northbound wind tunnel on the left. Proceed along this course, taking care to avoid the surrounding buildings, and reach the subsequent wind tunnel shortly thereafter.

Utilize the updrafts on the left to gain altitude and head towards the upcoming wind tunnel section located near a crane when the river comes into view. By following this route, players can safely reach Astoria, earning the trophy as a reward for their successful completion of the task. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to release on October 20 exclusively for PS5.
