III. Guide Walkthrough [003]
==============================================================================
I’ll try my best to give a very detailed guide for the game but don’t hate
since no guide is perfect.
==============================================================================
The Beginning [TB]
==============================================================================
So the game starts off with Hugo Strange interrogating Bruce Wayne and with
the roll of the opening credits, we then flash back to Bruce Wayne making a
public announcement about Arkham City but then Special Ops move in take the
billionaire playboy man.
You then flash forward to a room where Hugo Strange tells you he knows that
your Batman, he then exits the room and you see your reflection in window,
use the left stick left and right so the chair breaks and you fall down, a
guard comes in and you counter him and grab something from his radio, a guard
then comes in and attacks you then throws you outside, walk and go into
Line A where you need to wait till both prisoners move out of the way before
moving up, you then meet with 2 people. Exit and counter all the guys
attacking you then help up Jack Ryder, then a guy attacks you from behind
and your brought to Penguin, counter Penguin when he’s about to punch you in
the face then keep attacking till you get free, finish off all bad guys then
jump onto the dumpster and up the ladder, jump across and go up the ladder
again and then you talk to Alfred. Jump across to the ACE Chemical plant
[where the E is] and then move along the ledge, follow the tutorial until
you reach the top of building, after that you don the suit of Batman and
get the TROPHY: I’m Batman.
==============================================================================
Catwoman and Two-Face [CTF]
==============================================================================
After becoming Batman you hear radio chatter which you have to decrypt first
[put the locator on the flashing point to receive the frequency and hold the
action button] about Two-Face having Catwoman in the courthouse, glide over
and face 6 guys guarding the courthouse, after that go in.
After coming in go up the stairs and go right, after coming to the balcony
you have a cutscene, go up the ladder and silently takedown the guy up here,
you then drop down and fight 5-7 guys, after that’s done Two-Face shoots
you and you see a cutscene and also get a TROPHY: Acid Bath
==============================================================================
Find the Shooter [FS]
==============================================================================
After the cutscene use Detective mode and scan the window then scan the floor
to see the trajectory of the bullet, talk to Alfred then head out, the door
is blocked so go up the stairs and go left to exit, after exiting drop down
and fight 7-8 guys, then follow the marker to the church where 3 guys are
guarding the entrance, immobilize them, then enter.
After entering Harley Quinn attacks you so counter her or punch in the face,
after that happens she talks to you and after she’s done the guys start
shooting so use the SMOK PELLET and then GRAPPLE up, you then use the Detective
mode and Batman describes the situation and how to take care of them, take
out the left and right guys first then take out the last two with a cool
double takedown, rescue the hostages and get the TROPHY: Savior
Go back to the entrance and enter the door to the left, go up the wall and
look up for a RIDDLER TROPHY then grapple up to the top and up the ladder,
scan the gun and then Joker starts talking you, after he says you have 5
seconds to get out jump out the window and watch the tower blow up, you then
need to find the Joker, you also get 2 side missions: Distress Flare and
AR Training.
==============================================================================
Find and talk to the Joker [JOKE]
==============================================================================
Follow the meter to Jokers complex which is the Steel Mill, follow the signal
then talk to Alfred you tells you theres only one way in, grapple the chimney
stack and get the TROPHY: Chimney Sweep.
After gliding down you land on a wire [I don’t know why there’s a wire there
in the first place]. This part is another tutorial lesson, slide under, use
the batclaw on the to pipe to cool down the steam then drop down, drop to
ledge then jump, explosive gel the floor then use the batarang on the switch
on the top right corner, go through the tunnel follow the pipe till you come
you are blocked and he tells you to follow the pipe back to the origin then
go back then takeout 10 guys after coming out of the floor.
Go through the big doors and batman tells you that the guys in the other room
has guns so hit the switch and go left, go through then up then grapple to
the statues, go to the guy by himself and silently take him down, then double
takedown the other 2, jump through the window and go through the doors. Wait
for the guy walking to get to the other guy so you can double takedown, then
grapple up and silent takedown the next guy and then takedown the 2 guys in
the room with the hostage.
After you rescued the medic look behind you with the Detective Mode and shoot
the door to make it go up, then again and up to the vent and take out
4-5 guys after dropping down, head back to where you beat up the 10 guys and
use the crane to break open the door, grapple up then you get kicked down,
fight like 9-10 guys plus a one armed freak, beat up all the small guys
then take out the big guy, you get the TROPHY: One Armed Bandit.
Go up and watch the cutscene, you need to find Mr. Freeze to help you.
==============================================================================
Finding Mr. Freeze [MRF]
==============================================================================
Head North to the GCPD building and see guards posted outside, take them out
and look for the door with a motor above it, slide under and go down and break
the wall to get the RIDDLER TROPHY, then head to the doors and get the chip
from Penguins guy.
Walk down and see that there are 5 armed guys here, make some noise and 1 guy
will come out, make sure your above on the ceiling before taking him down,
then Heartbeat Monitors tell when a guy goes down, another guy will check on
him so take him out, go into the vent above and plan out how you want to
takedown the other 3 guys, the last guy standing will drop his weapon so
interrogate him to learn where Mr. Freeze is. After that go back to the exit
where the gates close on you, open the grate and go into the next room and
use the decrypter to get out, now head for the Museum.
==============================================================================
The Museum [TM]
==============================================================================
There are 5 guys waiting outside the door at the Museum, take them out then
hack the terminal to get in, there are 2 guys with knives here, follow the
lesson and take them out, jump left to get a RIDDLER TROPHY, then jump right
and hack the terminal but get locked out since Penguin is using a military
grade communication disruptor, head back outside to locate 3 of them before
heading back inside. [1] Above you on the roof and is guarded by 5-6 guys,
you need to destroy 3 sides before moving on [2] Head North for the next one,
when your about 45-50M away turn on Detective Mode and see 4 guys with guns
here, sneak attack the lonely one then proceed to take out the rest [3] The
last one is in the subway tunnels, there are 3 armed guards protecting the
entrance, then go down and see 2 guards so double takedown, hop over the gate
follow the path, you eventually see 3 guys and a TITAN canister, go through
the vent and grapple onto the ledge then takedown the guy on the bridge,
grapple back up then takedown guy who checks on him, then take out the other
3 guards accordingly, then destroy the last disruptor [Communication
Breakdown] and head back to the Museum where 6-8 guys are waiting for you.
Go inside and disable the gate, head up and dinosaur will scare you but its
nothing, go down and 3 guys are beating up someone, take them out and talk
to the prisoner, go down and you need to use a RC Batarang, throw up to the
hole then down to hit the switch [use brakes to help you out], go and enter
the pit, you fight like 17-21 guys here which is no problem but then comes
the second part where you fight like 10-12 guys and a TITAN freak, to beat
him super stun which is 3 times then punch him to ride him, keep doing this
till he goes down and you get the TROPHY: Gladiator.
Use the RC Batarang and go left to hit the switch to open the gate a bit,
slide under then hack the terminal to unlock the door, jump in and go up
then gel the top then climb up and gel again then through the door where you
gel 1 more time before a cutscene.
Walk on the ice and free the officer but don’t run on it as it will break and
if you fall there’s not a nice surprise waiting for you, after freeing the
officer go back on the ice and look right and see 2 more officers, shoot
down the raft hanging and use it to get the prisoner on the left first then
go to the other side to get the other one. Go up and enter the next room.
After entering you see 6 guys and 3 with thermal vision which detects you
when hiding on a vantage point. [My suggestion is to blow up the wall to the
right to get their attention and pick off one by one.] After saving them
head back out and go to the room across from you to Mr. Freeze.
After you reach the other side there is 3 people waiting at the door but can’t
get them since the gate comes up, hack the terminal and take them out, go in
and slide under to reach Mr. Freeze, gel the wall to your right and a One
Armed freak attacks you with 5-7 other guys, take them out and release Mr.
Freeze. Blow up the TITAN Canister in the next room and hack the gate to get
out faster, head back and see that all the ice is now water, head back to
where you saved the 3 hostages earlier, use the rafts to make it across and
don’t fall off, after going back to the Armory Room, go to Mr. Freeze’s suit
and get the chip, now head to the Iceberg Lounge, when your close enough the
shark will attack, beat it down and proceed to penguin.
After coming into the room go left or right it really doesn’t matter, wait
for Penguin to shoot before proceeding, make it to the ramp and when close
enough use the jammer on his gun then uppercut him off the table, after that
you fall into a pit and meet Solomon Grundy.
This zombie is really easy, there are 3 parts to him though. [1] The first
part is you have to use the Explosive Gel on the conduits on the floor to
hurt him [Quickfire] then punch him till another part happens. [2] After he
will be pissed and you have to do the same thing but only this time the
conduits have doors on them, wait for them to open to hit them, after this
part finish him but he’s not done yet, press the action button and break
free; TROPHY: Wrecking Ball. [3] You shoots shockwaves at you so all you have
to do it jump it, its exactly the same thing, after you kill Grundy you head
up and fight Penguin, dodge all his shots till you get to him and finish
him off.
==============================================================================
Ras Al Ghul [RAG]
==============================================================================
After coming out from the Iceberg Lounge you talk to Freeze who tells you he
needs a suitable enzyme to help his cure and a ninja in the glass near you
escapes, scan her blood and follow the trail, after the trail ends you get hit
from behind, follow the ninja till she attacks you and counter her where a
cutscene occurs, after that you get the LineLauncher.
Go to the Steel Mill, and see a hole leading underground, dive in or take out
all 4 armed guards here, go down and face 3-4 guys after jumping across, then
face 2 and 1 Armored guy when you drop down, move up and two paths. Left
which you can’t do yet as you need a certain gadget so go right, use the
LineLauncher and then look right and shoot there for a RIDDLER TROPHY, then
shoot across, move up and there are 8 guys and a RIDDLER INFORMAT under the
breakable floor, hack the terminal [CARRIAGE]. Look for a door to the right
of you then after entering go left and go in, you get sick but no worries,
LineLauncher across and fight 2 Armed Guards, 1 Armored and 2 guys, look
across for a RIDDLER TROPHY and go through the door. After entering you see
a doctor and you need to save her, take out the guy to the right first then
plan out what you want as the enemies always go a different way.
After that go down and open the door, REC the generators at the bottom of
the door, and after the second door, 3 ninjas appear, the next generator
needs to be gelled before opening it, go to the door and see that’s its
locked, scan the robot next to you and he tells you that you need the
recordings from them to see where they enter, use Detective mode to find
them all and ninjas will attack you when scanning some of them, after you
have it all go to the wall and you need a key, a ninja will drop down so
counter her and then enter, keep going till you see a ladder where you then
fall ill again and see your parents, get up and go to the big doors where
you are confronted by Talia, who tells you need to pass some trails before
talking to her father.
You will enter a room with a chalice so drink from it and you’ll start
tripping out, talk to Ras who tells you that you need to follow him and
not touch anything as you will die [you don’t die you just restart] and
follow the blue line to get to him, after reaching him you’ll need to glide
again to another blue crystal where you fight 2 sand ninjas, fly again
into the circle where you go into another part. Glide through all the
obstacles to the blue crystal, glide again to another blue crystal where
you fight 5-6 sand ninjas, after that glide into the circle and your
completely fine, follow Talia to meet her father.
You start trippin again but this time its real, you right Ras Al Ghul, you
first fight 5-6 sand ninjas while dodging his attacks after that’s all done
he will make a sand sculpture of himself with sand ninjas as his shields,
shoot when there is gap [need to hit him 6 times] and dodge his sword and
ninja star attacks, after you beat him he’ll fall down where he jumps up at
you and you need to press the counter button multiple times, after this you
will have a little scene then 20 ninjas jump at you, you need to press the
counter button till all the markers disappear to be successful, then fight
them off while Ras attacks you [THIS CAN REPEAT ITSELF YOU DO NOT HIT RAS
THAT MUCH] keep fighting till he makes himself big again, do the same thing
but this time he swings his sword but its easy to dodge, after you beat him
you’ll need to counter him again where you stop trippin out. After this he’ll
use Talia as a shield where you use a Reverse Batarang to hit him then
Superman Punch him to knock him out; TROPHY: Sandstorm.
Head back to the subway where 5 guys are waiting for you, take out the Jammer
first then proceed to taking them all out, head west to exit, after there
are people with riot shield now, keep heading forward till you get to the
exit, take out 11 guys and a RIDDLER INFORMANT, hack the terminal
[COMPARTMENT] and get out of here.
==============================================================================
Find the Mayor [FM]
==============================================================================
After coming out you find out that Mayor Sharp is inside the city, follow the
marker and fight off the thugs and then a cutscene, you also unlock a new
gadget which you have to back to the Iceberg Lounge outside entrance to get in.
==============================================================================
Mr. Freeze Why? [MRF?]
==============================================================================
GO back to Mr. Freeze where a cutscene occurs, after that happens you have to
fight him. You have to surprise attack him 5 times, [1] Silent Takedown at
the very beginning to get first strike [NOTE: AFTER DOING A CERTAIN TAKEDOWN,
FREEZE LEARNS AND COUNTERS THAT] [2] Use the puddle of water on the bottom,
flip the switch when he’s on it, [3] Use the REC on a motor when he is near
it, [4] Hide in under the floor to sneak attack him, [5] Drop down and smash
in his helmet. You get the TROPHY: Hide and Seek
==============================================================================
Find the Cure [FC]
==============================================================================
After all that you 2 are friends again, use the freeze grenade on the steam
to exit the building, after leaving a helicopter sees you then it gets shot
down by the Joker, find the wreckage where Vicky Vale is pinned down by sniper
fire. First find the 2 snipers on the same building but cannot do a double
takedown, then move up and see 2 more snipers where you can do a double
takedown, rescue her and get a new side mission “Retrieve sample cure”. Go back
to the steel mill back entrance but watch out for sniper fire when coming here,
there are 2 snipers at the back entrance, take out the very top one then the
guy by the ledge, take out the lower sniper then the last 2 on the catwalk,
go to the door and double takedown the 2 guarding the door.
Keep going and fight 3 guys, you then use the freeze grenade on the water,
jump onto it and batclaw downstream, crouch till you get to the other side
and then climb up and then do the same thing here, keep going and freeze
grenade again, break the window and attack the 6 guards inside here. Go
through the door where 2 guys are torturing another guy, take them down and
free the guy but wait he’s a bad guy so take him out when he attacks you,
gel the wall, go down and make an ice block, use it to get across then when
you come to the part where you think you can’t go anywhere, use the
LineLauncher to get across, freeze the steam coming out then make an ice
block and then go up. Use an RC Batarang to get some electricity on it then
come back to hit the switch, look right and hack the terminal [ROMAN IONIS],
go through the doors and back into the Steel Mill where you rescued the doctor
After you come back here there are 7 people with guns and mines [HAVE THE MINE
DISRUPTOR TO MAKE THIS EASIER FOR YOU], take out the guy closet to you right
away then grapple up, blow up a mine on a guy then hit the fire extinguisher
near the door to smoke takedown 2 people, then take your time to plan out
everything. Use the REC to open the door and into the vent, after coming out
grapple up to avoid being detected by the sniper to get to the assembly line,
then use that to take down the sniper, go up and see Harley Quinn tied up
who tells you about a side mission “Stolen Frozen Tech”, go back to where you
first met the Joker where 5 people are waiting for you, grapple up and do a
double takedown on the snipers then come down and attack the people on the
ground, go up and then left to face the Joker.
Beat the Joker down with a some punches of justice then after 9-11 people show
up to help him [TALK ABOUT A FAIR FIGHT], then a One Armed freak comes out
with more people so take them out, the final part is 2 TITAN freaks that come
out with more people so take out the big ones first before taking out the
small ones. We then come down to the Joker where after enough is done a
cutscene occurs. TROPHY: Ghost Train
==============================================================================
Mastercode Key [MK]
==============================================================================
After you get up a helicopter will find you so scan it then they start
shooting you with their machine guns [YOU CAN GRAPPLE ONTO THE COPTER TO
SCAN RATHER THAN GLIDING AND SCANNIN AT THE SAME TIME] the helicopter I found
was near the Steel Mill but I don’t know if that’s for everyone so good
luck with finding the code. Go to the marker where 2 snipers are looking for
you, take them out then hack the door [MASTERMIND], go in and go to where
there are 3 guards, after that happens a little scene which you have to
listen to, then fight off like 5-7 guys, drop into the sewer after this.
Get the RIDDLER TROPHY then drop down and go left, gel the floor and go through
the door and talk to the doctor. Take out the guy directly below you then take
out the sniper on the stairwell and other sniper near him, trigger some mines
to get down 2 people left, after that’s done go to the elevator door and hack
it [OBESSIONS] then hack the button [MEDICATION] and wait to go up, grapple
up so your on top of the elevator, takedown someone through the glass and
fight, hack the gate [SAFEGUARDING, need to wait for the I to appear] then
drop down and move across, get up and grapple up top, go left and walk on the
railing, grapple across then look behind you to grapple again, go up the
ladder then glide down and go right, go onto the railing then onto the
tightrope, grapple up and hack the terminal [MAINTENANCE] then grapple up to
where the door opened, go through the vent and take out the guy closet to
you then wait for the guy to come look for him then take him out, down to 3
guys either takedown or fight, go up the stairs to Strange and hack the door
[GOTHAM SAVIOR] and watch. TROPHY: Free Fall.
==============================================================================
The Conclusion [TC]
==============================================================================
After you come out the Joker is calling you out and you need to answer right
away, go to the location either wise Talia dies, go to the marker where Joker
will say something to you, take out all the snipers on the rooftops before
heading on the ground for the last 2, enter the theatre and watch the cutscene.
After all that you fell for the old Joker gag, [NOT A GOOD DETECTICE EH LOL]
so you fight clayface, he’s really simple all you have to do is throw your
freeze grenade till he freezes up then grab the sword and attack him with it,
[he has 2 attacks, sweep and then rolling at you] the second part is the
same thing but he shoots clay balls at you, after you kill him you fall down
into the pit, where you need to fight him again, this time you have a sword
which is really fast which you cut down all the clay people, you need to
throw your grenade into his mouth after he shoots his projectiles at you,
keep doing this till you finish him off.
Watch the cutscene and you get to play as Catwoman and Batman, you can freely
roam the city without TYGER soldiers, you can now complete all the things you
didn’t complete in the game, you also unlock New Game Plus.
==============================================================================

go to the vault and grab your prize and watch the cutscene.
==============================================================================
Catwoman Episode 2 [CE2]
==============================================================================
Go back to your apartment and see 4 people waiting outside, take them out and
go to the window and get your BOLAS and CALTROPS, then head to Ivy’s compound

side. You then fight 4 people after watching the scene, then climb up and

plants shoot at you, after you finish go to her and watch. TROPHY:
Arkham City Sirens
==============================================================================

computers, you then need to pickpocket 3 guards for their keycards after that
you need to go back to the computer and unlock the vault, you then need to
take out all 5 guards which is simple, just silent takedown from the top then
go into the vault when done. After your in you see Ivy’s plant and briefcases
[Ivy’s plant you destroy] grab the briefcase but then 5 TGYER guards attack
you, after that grab the briefcases and leave [TROPHY: Pickpocket], you end
up having to make a choice, either ditch Batman or save him; if you ditch
Batman you get to see what happens to Gotham [only audio in the credits] but
then after its done you rewind and can go left to save batman.
==============================================================================
Catwoman Episode 4 [CE4]
==============================================================================
You need to go to your apartment, when you enter you get blown up, defeat all
4 guys here then head to the Museum. Where 4 guys are waiting outside for
you, go inside after, go down and fight 5-6 guys then go down some more and
through the door, follow the way to the pit where you fight like 17-21 guys,
then slide under the gate and go up the elevator, keep moving and go through
the door to where all the water is, climb down and you’ll hang onto the
ceiling, open the gate then jump onto the ceiling, keep going and go right
till you see the entrance, move up and fight 2 armed guys and 1 more, after
that go into the Amory Room.
See Two-Face on the bridge with another guy, try to separate the guy next to
Two-Face so you can takedown, try and take out the surrounding people as fast
as you can then attack Two-Face after you attack him for the first time more
people come out, this where it gets tricky, try and get Two-Face in a corner
and then CALTROPS the way in to beat him down easier [That’s my way] then
he tells you that he gave half of your stuff away.
Now you need to find 16 pieces of loot from Two-Faces henchmen, there are
10 in around you and the other 6 is near the courthouse. TROPHY: Family Jewels
==============================================================================
IV. Side Missions [004]
==============================================================================
There are a total of 12 side missions in the game which each one takes like
1-3 hours to complete depending on how distracted you get with other things.
==============================================================================
Acts of Violence [AV]
==============================================================================
This side mission is started by helping a political prisoner out when he is
either getting beat up or roughed up by the inmates, all you have to do is
listen while travelling the city and take out guys to help progress the
completion status of the side mission.
==============================================================================
AR/Advanced AR Training [ART]
==============================================================================
This is just a tutorial on how to glide and drop dive in the game, complete
this to get a nice upgrade to your grappler, look for a red batman sign to
start the tutorial.
AR 1: This one is easy, just follow the markers.
AR 2: This one you learn to drop dive
AR 3: Now this one you drop dive then have to glide after
AR 4: The final one is glide then drop dive then let go then drop dive then
glide to the last one.
After you done this Alfred will send the Grapnel Boost, use the marker on the
map to get this as this is a useful upgrade.
Advanced AR 1: At the Steel Mill, you need to glide then drop dive then level
out to fly through the tunnel
Advanced AR 2: Notably the hardest one out of the 4, you just glide to the
first one then go down, when about half way to the second ring you drop dive
then level out to get above the fence, then the next one has to be perfect
as you need all the speed to reach the last one.
Advanced AR 3: This one is easy one as there are only 3 targets to hit, you
need to drop dive then glide through the tunnel.
Advanced AR 4: The easiest one of them all, glide then drop dive then do a
U-turn and go above the fence, then when your about to fall grapple then
boost and then fly around to hit the last one.
After you complete this you get the AR Knight Trophy.
==============================================================================
Cold Caller Killer [CCK]
==============================================================================
To start this side mission you need to answer a phone anywhere in the city
where you get a TROPHY for that and you’ll talk to Victor Zsasz who tells you
that he’ll kill a person if you don’t reach another phone ringing in the city
within the time limit.
So after you reached the phone you need to get to he’ll start talking to you
about his life, you then will have to talk the call by hovering your circle
over the circle that moves to trace the call and fill up the bar at the
bottom, you will have to do this like 4-5 times as he hangs up after each
call. [NOTE: IT BE WISE TO HAVE THE GRAPNEL BOOST WHEN TRAVELLING THE CITY
AS IT SHAVES OFF A LOT OF TIME TO GET TO PLACES]

where 3-4 inmates are outside. After going in, go through the vent and then

Enigma Conundrum [EC]
==============================================================================
To start this side mission is to either get “Find Mission Medical Team” or go
back into the church [Going back is probably the church is the easiest thing
to do]. After you enter the church you find that all the volunteers and
officers are missing, you then see the riddler who tells you that he has
them and you need to solve his riddles to find them. He starts off with his
first one which is “I’m a instrument that plays straight from the Heart”
[Sorry can’t remember what the riddle was but this is close to it], so head
to the end of the church and use the Environmental Analysis on the ORGAN to
solve his riddle and get a TROPHY, he then tells you to head to the
Courthouse and a surprise is waiting for you outside.
After you exit there are 3 guys but 1 of them is glowing green [Green means
that he works for the Riddler] take out the 2 other guys then interrogate
the green guy to give you clues about riddler trophies around the area. Head
to the Courthouse where there are 11 guys and an Riddler informant here. Go
in and fight 4 guys and 1 Riddler associate then free the hostage who then
tells you some numbers 3-2-5, 2-7-5 which is a radio frequency where 325[Is
the bottom numbers] and 275[Is the top numbers] after that the officer gives
you a box which you need to solve the riddle “If you know me, you want to
share me, but if share me, I’ll be gone, what am I? and the answer is SECRET.
=============
FIRST HOSTAGE

on the wall at the with the big ? on it so investigate and break the wall and
head through the door, after that the Riddler will talk to you and after
that look behind you and hit the big neon ? to open the door. There are 2
ways to do this [1] You can hit the switch in front of you which turns off t
he power for a path, then hit the switch to your right which makes another
path, then head to the elevator and hit the switch to the left to go up,
then glide to the hostage and get the trophy (Conundrum). [2] Run across the
floor to the elevator then hit the switch to go up. After this the guy gives
you 6-2-5, 9-2-5 where you decode but need more Riddler trophies for the
next hostage. You need to have 80 of Riddler Trophies.

behind the fence, use the REC to bring it up then you the REC on the left
