2. Combat and movement essentials

Use action names below so the guide works across controllers and keyboard layouts.

Combat

Keep your combo alive with deliberate attacks, counters, and redirects.

Enemy	Reliable response
Ordinary thug	Strike, counter, or special takedown.
Shield carrier	Cape stun followed by an aerial attack.
Armored thug	Cape stun followed by a beatdown.
Stun baton	Redirect over him and attack from behind.
Knife wielder	Dodge away while holding counter; use Blade Dodge Takedown once upgraded.
Gun carrier	Interrupt immediately; destroy the weapon when possible.
Titan	Ultra Stun, beatdown, then use the riding sequence.
Riddler informant	Leave him conscious until everyone else is defeated.

Avoid ground takedowns while another enemy can reach you. A redirect keeps you moving while you choose your next action.

Batman can throw someone into a concrete wall, break his arm, and then announce that everyone is merely unconscious.

HOW IS BATMAN NOT KILLING ANYBODY?!

Movement

A productive glide follows this rhythm:

Glide → dive to gain speed → pull up → glide again.

With Grapnel Boost, launch past a rooftop instead of stopping on it.

For tight AR tunnels, release the dive before reaching the opening. Small corrections work better than pulling sharply backward.

HOW DOES HIS CAPE WORK?!

Predator encounters

Before attacking:

• Identify armored enemies, snipers, thermal goggles, mines, and jammers.
• Choose your escape route.
• Separate guards before using noisy takedowns.
• Move after an inverted takedown.
• Remember that thermal guards can scan vantage points.

Complete any required medal actions before eliminating the enemies you need for them.

3. Upgrades and gadget checklist

Buy every Batman upgrade for Fully Loaded. The final check is that WayneTech contains no remaining purchasable Batman upgrades; Catwoman’s upgrades are separate. There are 27 Batman upgrades to purchase. Fandom

My suggested priorities are:

1. Special Combo Boost and Critical Strikes.
2. Disarm and Destroy.
3. Combat armor, with ballistic armor whenever gun encounters become troublesome.
4. Sequencer Range Amplifier and Line Launcher Tightrope.
5. Batclaw Disarm.
6. Bat Swarm and Multi Ground Takedown.
7. Shock Wave Attack and Glide Boost Attack.
8. Remaining combat, stealth, and gadget upgrades.

Useful upgrades to check include:

Group	Check these options
Armor	All four combat-armor levels and all four ballistic-armor levels.
Traversal and stealth	Shock Wave Attack, Glide Boost Attack, Heat Signature Conceal.
Combat	Critical Strikes, Special Combo Boost, Bat Swarm, Multi Ground Takedown, Disarm and Destroy, Freeflow Focus, Freeflow Power Gadgets, Blade Dodge Takedown.
Gadgets	Batclaw Disarm, Sonic Batarang, Sonic Shock Batarang, Line Launcher Tightrope, Freeze Proximity Mine, Sequencer Range and Power Amplifiers.

Some abilities require earlier purchases or story progress before they appear. Heat Signature Conceal works while you remain still during a thermal scan. Batman: Arkham City Guide and Walkthrough

Several essential items come through missions:

Gadget/access	How you obtain it
Grapnel Boost	First four AR exercises.
Remote Electrical Charge, or REC	First Steel Mill visit.
Line Launcher	Robin delivers it during the assassin investigation.
Freeze-gun override	Museum rescue sequence.
Reverse Batarang	Ra’s al Ghul sequence.
Freeze Blast	Mr. Freeze sequence.
Mine Detonator	Remote Hideaway side mission.
Freeze Cluster Grenade	Hot and Cold side mission.
TYGER security access	Protocol 10 helicopter objective.

Finish Remote Hideaway and Hot and Cold before your final collectible sweep.

4. Main story walkthrough

Opening: Catwoman and Bruce Wayne

If Catwoman content is installed, begin by defeating Two-Face’s thugs and opening the safe. Her capture leads into Batman’s opening.

As Bruce:

1. Follow the interrogation sequence.
2. Escape your restraints.
3. Counter Penguin’s attack.
4. Fight through his men.
5. Climb out of the courtyard.
6. Reach the top of Ace Chemicals and collect your equipment.

You now have the Batsuit and I’m Batman.

Solomon Wayne Courthouse

Approach the courthouse from above.

Inside:

1. Remove the gunman on the upper level.
2. Drop into the main fight.
3. Defeat the thugs and rescue Catwoman.
4. Scan the bullet impact and the window to reconstruct the sniper trajectory.

Acid Bath unlocks through this rescue.

Before moving on, visit the rooftop opposite the courthouse. If Azrael is there, throw a Remote Controlled Batarang toward him for Catch, then speak to him and scan his symbol. gamepressure.com

Church and sniper investigation

At the church, Harley’s men hold the medical staff hostage.

Use the smoke escape when prompted, reach the vantage points, and clear the room with takedowns. Rescue the hostages.

Climb the bell tower and scan the rifle. When the explosives activate, escape through the window and glide away.

Follow Joker’s radio signal toward the Steel Mill. gamepressure.com

First Steel Mill visit

Enter through the main chimney.

Follow the interior route around the molten metal, steam, grates, and machinery. Use Detective Mode whenever the path seems blocked: switches and destructible surfaces identify the route.

Reach the Assembly Line, clear the predator encounter, and rescue the doctor. Batman constructs the REC.

Return toward the Loading Bay. Use alternating electrical charges on the magnet to swing the hook into the obstruction protecting Joker’s office.

Mr. Hammer

Keep moving around him. Avoid his heavy swings, handle nearby thugs, and attack when he is vulnerable.

Finish the encounter and enter Joker’s office. The story establishes Batman’s poisoning and the need to find Freeze. gamepressure.com

Catwoman: Poison Ivy

If installed, Catwoman’s second episode interrupts the story around this stage.

Collect her equipment from her apartment, reach Ivy’s hideout, and fight through the waves while avoiding plant attacks. Use the available climbing routes between stages.

Completing this episode contributes to Arkham City Sirens.

GCPD and Penguin’s Museum

Track the coldest location to the GCPD building. Enter through the shutter and investigate Freeze’s disappearance.

Head to the Museum. Penguin’s communications jammers prevent progress.

Destroy:

1. The first surface jammer.
2. The second surface jammer.
3. The final jammer in the subway.

Clear each surrounding group and physically disable the machine. Then return to the Museum. gamepressure.com

Gladiator Pit

Defeat Penguin’s fighters, then the Titan.

Use Ultra Stun followed by beatdown against the Titan. During the riding sequence, steer into enemies and use the prompted attacks.

Torture Chamber

Cross the ice cautiously. Running on fragile sections invites trouble.

When using the raft, pull yourself between anchor points with the Batclaw. Rescue the police officers around the chamber and adjoining rooms.

War Room and Armory

Defeat Mr. Sickle in the War Room and clear the Armory’s predator encounter.

Free the remaining officers and obtain the override from Freeze’s suit. Return to the Iceberg Lounge.

Aim the override at Penguin’s freeze gun and keep approaching while it is disabled. gamepressure.com

Solomon Grundy and Penguin

Grundy

The floor generators power Grundy.

1. Spray Explosive Gel on the generators.
2. Detonate when they are vulnerable.
3. Dodge thrown objects and jump over shock waves.
4. Shut down the generators to expose Grundy.
5. Perform the beatdown.
6. Repeat as the generator timing changes.

Watch the generator lights instead of detonating blindly.

Penguin

Evade his attacks, close the distance, and finish the confrontation.

Afterward, remember the Museum’s northern Iceberg Lounge entrance. You will return there for Remote Hideaway. gamepressure.com

Assassin trail and Wonder City

Scan the assassin’s blood, follow the trail, examine the discarded bandages, and chase her across the rooftops.

Plant the tracking device when the opportunity appears. Robin supplies the Line Launcher.

Follow the signal underground. For Line Launcher junctions, slow down and aim a second line during the ride.

In Wonder City:

1. Scan mechanical guardians.
2. Continue until the recorded footage is reconstructed.
3. Follow the footage’s clue to the hidden entrance.
4. Continue into the Demon Chamber. gamepressure.com

Ra’s al Ghul

Complete the trial by gliding between the indicated safe platforms and surviving the assassin encounters.

During the boss fight:

• Counter close attacks.
• Evade incoming projectiles.
• Use the REC through openings during the giant-form sequence.
• Follow the counter prompts during the surrounding-assassin attacks.

For the hostage situation, use the Reverse Batarang to strike from behind.

Batman has trained with enough mysterious martial-arts experts to make this look routine.

WHO ARE THESE TIBETAN MONKS?!

Quincy Sharp and Mr. Freeze

Return toward the surface, rescue Quincy Sharp, and interrogate him. Deliver Ra’s blood to Freeze at the GCPD.

Mr. Freeze boss fight

Each successful attack makes Freeze adapt. You must change methods.

Available approaches include:

• Silent attack from behind.
• Floor-grate takedown.
• Ledge takedown.
• Corner takedown.
• Window attack.
• Glide kick.
• Explosive Gel through a weak wall.
• Environmental electrical attack.
• Disruptor use.

Consult Batman’s analysis for the remaining available methods. Set up your next attack while Freeze investigates your last position.

New Game Plus requires more of your available methods, so learn the environment now.

Afterward, use the alternate exit because the main entrance is frozen. You now have Freeze equipment and the Heart of Ice mission. gamepressure.com

Vicki Vale and return to the Steel Mill

At the helicopter crash:

1. Locate the snipers.
2. Eliminate them from cover.
3. Rescue Vicki.

Return to the Steel Mill through the rear route. Use Freeze Blast to create rafts, the Batclaw to pull between anchors, and Freeze Blast to seal steam pipes.

Where a fuse requires electricity, fly a Remote Controlled Batarang through electrical discharge before guiding it into the fuse.

Find the restrained Harley and remove her gag to begin Hot and Cold. gamepressure.com

Joker’s fight

You face ordinary enemies, Mr. Hammer, and a Titan amid moving trains.

Keep clear of the train paths. Redirect frequently, remove dangerous weapons, and use the Titan when it becomes vulnerable.

Complete the encounter and continue through Catwoman’s vault episode if installed.

Catwoman: TYGER vault

Steal the guards’ keycards by approaching unnoticed from behind. Use ceiling movement to reach the vault safely.

After collecting the cases, choose to return and help Batman.

The escape choice gives an alternate sequence before returning you to the decision. Helping Batman continues the story.

Protocol 10 and Wonder Tower

Scan TYGER helicopters until you identify the primary helicopter carrying the master-control program.

Grapple to it and obtain the security access.

Enter the Processing Center, fight through the guards, and follow the underground route to Wonder Tower’s foundation.

Climb the tower using ledges, pipes, grapple points, and security panels. Clear the final predator room before confronting Strange.

Escape when the tower explodes.

Monarch Theatre: Clayface

Use Freeze Blast against Clayface while avoiding his sweeping attacks and projectiles.

When he becomes vulnerable, use the sword sequence. Repeat through the changing arena and clone phase.

Keep moving around the hazardous floor sections and freeze enemies when the encounter requires it.

Finish the fight and the ending.

You can now return to the city for cleanup.

5. Every side mission

AR Training

Complete the first four basic exercises to earn Grapnel Boost. Then finish the four advanced exercises for AR Knight.

For the difficult tunnel approaches:

• Start from the designated point.
• Dive to build speed.
• Release the dive early.
• Make small steering corrections.
• Restart immediately if your entry angle is wrong.

The cape is simultaneously a parachute, aircraft wing, and portable engineering miracle.

1. First victim: examine the body and reconstruct the shot; follow the trajectory to evidence of Deadshot’s firing position.
2. Second victim: investigate the collapsed-highway area and trace the shot through the nearby structure.

Inside, use the upper vent. Follow the moving hostages while avoiding their detection circles, then reach Riddler and perform the final takedown.

Rewards run from IQ Test through the hostage achievements to Genius. gamepressure.com

6. Collectibles: how to use the checklist

The trophy numbers below follow the green trophy icons in each district’s Riddler grid, reading left to right and top to bottom. Count trophy icons only.

Interrogate green-highlighted informants to reveal locations on your in-game map. Keep interrogating: one informant reveals only part of the map.

For a missing trophy:

1. Find its unresolved green icon in the district grid.
2. Count its position among the trophy icons.
3. Match that number below.
4. Use the map marker and the listed solution.

Hold the environmental scan on a visible trophy you cannot yet collect to mark it for later. gamepressure.com

Abbreviations:

• REC: Remote Electrical Charge.
• Remote: Remote Controlled Batarang.
• Gel: Explosive Gel.
• Hack: Cryptographic Sequencer.
• Plate: pressure plate.

For electrical fuses, a remote Batarang must usually pass through electricity first.

For gel switches, zoom onto an individual charge to detonate it separately; look away to detonate all planted charges.

10. Riddler’s Revenge: Batman

You need all three medals on:

• 12 combat maps
• 12 predator maps

That makes 72 ranked medals.

Then earn all medals across the 12 original campaigns, totaling 108 campaign medals.

Combat score targets

Each map has four rounds. The table shows the total score thresholds.

Map	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Blind Justice	6,000	12,000	24,000
Survival of the Fittest	8,000	16,000	32,000
Rooftop Rumble	8,000	16,000	32,000
Hell’s Gate	8,000	16,000	32,000
Funhouse Brawl	15,000	30,000	60,000
Prison Riot	8,000	16,000	32,000
Blind Justice Extreme	8,000	16,000	32,000
Survival of the Fittest Extreme	15,000	30,000	60,000
Rooftop Rumble Extreme	10,000	20,000	40,000
Hell’s Gate Extreme	12,000	24,000	48,000
Funhouse Brawl Extreme	15,000	30,000	60,000
Prison Riot Extreme	12,000	24,000	48,000

Reliable scoring routine

Start safely, build your combo, then increase variation.

Use:

1. Strike.
2. Counter.
3. Redirect.
4. Cape stun.
5. Batclaw Slam.
6. Quickfire gadget.
7. Special move.
8. Aerial attack against shields.
9. Beatdown against armor.
10. Multi Ground Takedown when several enemies are down.

A long combo is more valuable than rapidly eliminating enemies with broken chains.

Disarm and Destroy removes weapons permanently. Bat Swarm gives breathing room without immediately ending the encounter.

Predator medal checklist

Complete the three actions and then eliminate every guard.

Map	Required actions
Meltdown Mayhem	Smoke takedown after detection; Batarang-ground takedown; REC gunfire scares another guard.
Police Brutality	Weak-wall Gel knockout; Knockout Smash; window takedown.
Natural Selection	Jammed gun attempts firing; glide-kick finish; double ledge takedown.
End of the Line	Line Launcher kick off a ledge; surprise a terrified guard; frozen-guard takedown.
Lost City	Floor-grate takedown; Batclaw over a ledge; wooden-wall takedown.
Top of the World	Extinguisher-blinded takedown; Batclaw disarm/slam; detonated enemy mine.
Meltdown Extreme	Armored guard first; weak-ceiling Gel knockout; vent-cover takedown.
Police Extreme	Jammer last; reverse ledge takedown; inverted takedown through glass.
Natural Selection Extreme	Gel weapon-crate knockout; thermal guard inverted takedown; shock-wave two guards.
End of the Line Extreme	REC armored guard off ledge; knock ladder climber down; jammer last.
Lost City Extreme	No damage; two kicks in one redirected line launch; boosted remote Batarang off ledge.
Top of the World Extreme	Beatdown; REC armored guard into another; Freeze Cluster three guards.

Difficult medal setups

Double ledge takedown: hang beneath a route shared by two guards. Wait until both are in range before acting.

Natural Selection Extreme: preserve the thermal guard until his medal is done. For the weapon crate, plant gel before disarming or alarming a guard into retrieving a replacement gun.

Lost City Extreme: plan the two-guard Line Launcher route before launching. Freezing one target can stabilize the setup.

Top of the World Extreme: obtain the three-person Freeze Cluster medal early, while guards still gather. Leave a suitable isolated guard for the beatdown.

Jammer-last maps: memorize the room using ordinary vision. Eliminating the jammer early invalidates that medal.

All 12 campaigns

Each original campaign contains three maps.

Campaign	Maps in order
Search and Destroy	Meltdown Mayhem → Blind Justice → Police Brutality
Street Justice	Rooftop Rumble → Natural Selection → Survival of the Fittest
Offensive Maneuvers	Funhouse Brawl → End of the Line → Hell’s Gate
City Invader	Top of the World → Prison Riot → Lost City
Combat Expert	Survival of the Fittest → Funhouse Brawl → Prison Riot
Predator Expert	Meltdown Mayhem → Lost City → Top of the World
Midnight Assault	Natural Selection Extreme → Hell’s Gate Extreme → Meltdown Extreme
Hostile Takeover	Prison Riot Extreme → Police Extreme → Funhouse Extreme
Double Jeopardy	Lost City Extreme → Rooftop Extreme → End of the Line Extreme
Ruthless Vengeance	Survival Extreme → Top of the World Extreme → Blind Justice Extreme
Combat Master	Blind Justice Extreme → Rooftop Extreme → Hell’s Gate Extreme
Predator Master	Police Extreme → Natural Selection Extreme → End of the Line Extreme

All supplied modifiers must be used during the campaign. GameFAQs

Modifier strategy

Inspect all three maps before assigning modifiers.

• Put combat-specific disadvantages on predator maps when permitted.
• Put predator-specific disadvantages on combat maps when permitted.
• Avoid gadget malfunction on a map whose medals require gadgets.
• Save helpful modifiers for your weakest map.
• Avoid booby-trapped vantage points by planning a floor, ledge, and vent route.
• With protective aura, switch targets instead of repeatedly attacking the protected enemy.
• Practice the ranked version of a troublesome map before attempting its campaign.

Check the medal counter before finishing each predator map. Completing the room after missing one required action does not repair the medal.

11. New Game Plus

New Game Plus introduces tougher enemy combinations and removes counter warnings.

You retain your collected gadgets, upgrades, and Riddler progress.

Complete again:

• Main story.
• AR Training.
• Fragile Alliance.
• Remote Hideaway.
• Heart of Ice.
• Hot and Cold.
• The Tea Party.
• Watcher in the Wings.
• Shot in the Dark.
• Identity Theft.
• Cold Call Killer.
• Acts of Violence.
• Enigma Conundrum.

Riddler’s carried collection count lets you progress through his hostage stages without recollecting everything, but you still repeat the rescue mission.

For combat, watch shoulders, weapon movement, and enemy approaches. Redirect when you cannot safely read an attack. Destroy weapons early.

For Freeze, preserve unused attack methods and follow the analysis list.

The Perfect Knight — Day 2 requirement combines the linked normal-game and New Game Plus completion with upgrades, collectibles, and Batman’s required challenge medals. XboxAchievements.com

As Batman:

1. Investigate the missing police.
2. Rescue the officers inside the mill.
3. Interrogate the three relevant thugs for access codes.
4. Hack into Harley’s secret base.
5. Continue into her trap.

When Robin resumes:

3. Clear the Dry Docks predator encounter.
4. Incapacitate Harley.
5. Return toward the Joker shrine.

The environmental opportunity near the sniper uses the moving crane machinery: attach a Snap Flash, let it move into position, then detonate.

The Titan opportunity appears in the later shrine fight. GamesRadar+
