Dr. Curt Connors‘ puzzle within the New Threads mission of Marvel‘s Spider-Man 2 has stumped even seasoned web slingers. This devious game of tones requires keen perception, logic, and most importantly – patience. One wrong move scrambles the sequence entirely, forcing players to restart their deduction process.
As a gaming expert with over a decade of experience, I have decoded the intricacies of Connors’ color-based riddle. This definitive guide will unlock its secrets through step-by-step solutions, visual aids, and pro strategies tailored to all playstyles. First, helpful background on the man behind the maze.
Profile of a Puzzlemaster: Understanding Dr. Curt Connors‘ Brilliant, Troubled Mind
Dr. Connors‘ intellect equals his obsession. Once a gifted surgeon, he became consumed with limb regeneration after losing his right arm. Exposure to experimental lizard DNA granted short-lived regrowth then permanently transformed him into the raging Lizard. This Jekyll & Hyde dynamic makes Connors an ideal puzzle architect for Insomniac Games’ writers.
"We imagined Connors designing a puzzle reflecting his own fractured psyche and scientific brilliance," explains Jon Paquette, Lead Writer. "The tally marks symbolize the last vestiges of his human logic, while the colored tones tap into primal reptilian instincts."
Connors retains enough clarity between transformations to safeguard his research. Yet his reptilian alter ego also yearns to be unleashed, letting curiosity override caution. This creates delicious tension for players tempted to access his secrets. Connors’ history across Spiderverse media imbues his in-game character with added depth.

Navigating the Sonic Safeguard – A Map of Tones, Colors, and Symbols
Before inputting any button sequences, familiarize yourself with the puzzle components:
4 Colored Buttons – Purple, Blue, Yellow, Green
- Each plays different musical tone when pressed
- Tones have no inherent order, buttons must be pressed in correct sequence
Tally Marks – Located in each corner
- Symbols indicate how many times to press correlated color button
- Purple = 5 tally marks
- Blue & Yellow = 4 tally marks each
- Green = 1 tally mark
The Sequence – Translate tally marks into button presses
- Purple x 5
- Blue x 4
- Yellow x 4
- Green x 1
So deciphering Connors’ code requires linking tones, colors, tally symbols, and sequence deduction through sight, sound and logic. Easier said than done while wall-crawling!
Step-By-Step Walkthrough – Cracking the Colorful Conundrum
Follow these instructions to cleanly input the proper tone sequence:
1. Stand directly in front of the puzzle interface panel
2. Observe each corner’s tally mark symbols closely
3. Count the number of marks for each sequence
4. Match tally sets to corresponding colored buttons
5. Input the button sequence by pressing each color button its designated number of times:
- Purple x 5
- Blue x 4
- Yellow x 4
- Green x 1
So in total:
Purple, Purple, Purple, Purple, Purple, Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Green

Master of Melodies – Conquering Further Musical Challenges
Solving Connors’ musical riddle teaches transferable skills for tackling other puzzle sequences requiring memory, perception, and logic across the Spiderverse.
For example, enabling the EMF ITT-23 Plant Attributes device demands a precise rhythm:
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, O
Like Connors‘ puzzle, careless input scrambles the sequence. Consider tempo, pattern recognition, and button order – then execute the solution flawlessly. Soon you’ll be drumming out beats even Questlove would envy!

Connors conceals cutting-edge yet dangerous secrets – wield them responsibly! While his methods merit scrutiny, we must recognize his neurological condition fuels regrettable choices. Perhaps through research innovations, Connors may one day regain human form permanently.
"We designed Connors’ puzzle as cerebral challenge reflecting the complexities of his character,” explains Lead Designer Ben Reily. “Solving it both tests and rewards players, mirroring the doctor‘s own internal turmoil."
I hope deciphering Connors’ colorful riddle brings satisfaction…and a few fresh threads! Until our next adventure, remember: "With great power, comes great responsibility!" Excelsior!
