When you have a full Focus Bar, you will have the option to either perform a finishing move or heal. For those looking for a top-up of HP in Spider-Man 2, it is a simple matter of pressing the down button on the D-pad when the Focus Bar is full.

Thankfully, you won't be in trouble if you forget how to do this. The game's HUD is more than generous in providing you with the right prompts and instructions for when opportunities arise to use either Spider-Man's skills.
