A Blade of Memory
Destroy all Teeth, Balloons and Jack-In-The-Boxes
In total, there are thirty collectibles scattered around the entirety of Seagate Amusement Park (15 Joker Teeth, 10 Balloons, and 5 Jack-in-The-Boxes). Unlike the main game, these collectibles cannot be revealed on the world map, as there are no goons to interrogate for their locations. Instead, you will need to keep a keen eye open for these small sets of collectibles. Rather than doing all the tedious hunting yourself, feel free to refer to each of the videos.
It’s worth making a note here that these collectibles can all be obtained during your playthrough if you desire to seek them out in between hostage rescue missions. Remember, there’s free roam after the last mission, so if you want to wait until that point to grab all of these, feel free to do just that. Once all thirty collectibles have been retrieved, this achievement will finally be yours.

General Tips:
- Use your waypoint system to judge your distance
- There are extra options available in the video if you are struggling, so feel free to try the next one.
- Make sure you hit the ramp while using your afterburner and while traveling in a perfectly straight line. Turning on the ramp will significantly slow you down!
- Do NOT touch your brake or battle mode buttons while in the air!

Achieve 69 Stars in AR Challenges
AR Challenges are unlocked as your progress through the game, each challenge also has a unique unlock requirement. We advise that you check these unlock requirements as soon as a new AR challenge becomes available as some of them are quite specific and may not come up through casual play. It's also advisable to tackle these post game once Batman and the Batmobile are fully upgraded to make them a little easier. They can be accessed from the main menu to save you the trouble of flying all over the map to each location.
Acts Of Violence {DLC: Heroes And Rogues Challenges}

See "Vengeance Unlimited" for more information.
All Snug In Their Beds {DLC: A Matter Of Family}
All Snug in Their Beds
Uncover the secret history of the park
In order to obtain this achievement, you will need to participate and complete four different mini-games around the amusement park. These required mini-games involve: a glide-bomb high-striker game, a batarang duck hunt game, a memory matching game, and a bumper car realignment puzzle. Once each of the four games have been successfully completed, you'll unlock an audio tape that reveals a bit of history behind the park. Once all four tapes have been collected, you'll want to head over to a secret control room in the center of the park and collect the final tape, thus unlocking the achievement.
This can be done at any time during your playthrough, though if you want to save it for post-narrative free roam, that'll work just as fine.
Ambush {DLC: A Matter Of Family}
Ambush
Defeat 4 enemies within the duration of a single scare effect
As Batgirl, you’ll have the ability to trigger environmental objects/machines with the Remote Hacking Device and scare any enemies in the area for a short amount of time. This allows Batgirl to perform a “Scare Takedown.”
Towards the beginning of the playthrough, there will be a short tutorial on this new feature/ability where you’ll be asked to hack a machine inside the amusement park. Do so and this will frighten a large group of enemies, around 4-6, thus allowing you to perform a takedown while they’re panicking. After the first takedown, pan your camera around, target the next enemy, and perform another takedown; then do this again twice more. It’s worth noting this essentially plays out the same as Batman’s “Fear Takedowns.”
If for some reason you miss this achievement during the tutorial, then there will be another easy opportunity to snag this while rescuing the hostage inside the Ghost Ship. After opening the first door inside the ship, turn the corner, activate detective vision, and you will notice a group of five enemies standing around the hostage and a device that can be hacked. If you haven't already obtained the achievement during the tutorial, this is the next and last place you'll be able to grab it.
Angel In The Dark
Angel in the Dark
Complete the trials and prove you are a worthy successor

Please refer to the video for Azraels symbol locations.

Ashes to Ashes
End the League of Assassins' war.
Story related, cannot be missed.
After activating the "Shadow War" side mission, you’ll need to investigate the marked crime scene on top of the marked building in Miagani Island. You will then need to follow a long trail of blood that leads to Elliot Memorial Hospital. After restoring power to the hospital, follow the blood trail further down the building until you reach Ra’s location. The achievement will unlock after speaking with him.
Backtrack through the caves and elevator shaft in order to leave the hospital. You’ll need to follow the Batmobile tracker to the docks near Panessa Studios in Bleake Island. Continue on foot beneath the docks when you arrive and you will soon discover the hidden Lazerus Pit. As you begin to inspect the source, Rebel Assassins will ambush you. Defeat them and inspect the source once more to trigger a cutscene. The achievement will unlock after this cutscene.
Return to Elliot Memorial Hospital and disable the traps along the way to reach Ra’s location. Once you arrive, you will be able to choose whether to administer the cure or destroy the Lazerus Machines keeping him alive. Whichever you decide, the achievement will unlock after the mission has been completed and the cutscene concludes.

Perform every type of predator takedown
There are a total of 21 different predator takedowns in the game, a list of all 21 is shown below. 17 of these are listed in game, for more information on how and where to perform these 17 predator takedowns you can access the moves list from your Waynetech panel in game. The bold entries in the list below do not appear in the moves list but are still unique takedowns that must be performed for the achievement.
- Swing Down Takedown
- Drop Attack
- Knockout Smash
- Drop Down Takedown
- Ledge Takedown
- Corner Cover Takedown
- Silent Takedown
- Glide Kick
- Inverted Takedown
- Fear Multi-Takedown

- Window Takedown
- Wooden Wall Takedown
- Wall Grate Takedown
- Line Launcher Takedown
- Vent Takedown
- Environment Takedown
- Grapple Boost Takedown
- Ceiling Grate Takedown
Some of these will come naturally as you play through the game, the ceiling takedown when you first find Poison Ivy for example, as such we recommend keeping a checklist and marking each takedown off as you perform them to make tracking the achievement easier.
IMPORTANT: If you are attempting this achievement using the AR challenges you should access the predator challenges from story mode. If you do it from the main menu via AR select it will not register the takedowns properly which is why so many people claim it's glitched. So just start up the challenge from the open world and it should unlock without any problems.

Apprehend Scarecrow's senior commander
You won't be able to face off against the senior commander until you have disabled all of the militia watchtowers, mines and checkpoints. At this point you will have to travel to Miagani island to find the commander. Be warned, there will be a massive vehicular combat battle waiting for you so we advise you to upgrade your Batmobile as much as you can before tackling this. The commander himself is inside a battle tank and he is surrounded by a squadron of Cobra tanks. Take out the Cobra tanks first, in the usual manner by sneaking behind them until you get a lock and lighting them up, then move onto the commander. His tank has no weak spots and can be damaged anywhere so just hit and run to wear him down. Once you have taken his tank out you will have to escort the commander to the GCPD to unlock the achievement.

During this side mission you will have to turn on the fire suppression systems of all three island's fire stations using the Batmobile's powerwinch. After doing this our old friend Firefly will burst from the building and you will need to chase him down in pursuit mode until he runs out of fuel, once he does you will be prompted to eject from the Batmobile and take him down. After you have thwarted him at all 3 stations you will automatically be sent to the GCPD to unlock this achievement. Please note that while you can uncover all three locations needed at any point you will need the Batmobile to actually complete them, as such you will not be able to complete this mission until you have full access to Founders Island.

Double Jeopardy
Face off with an old friend
Story related, can not be missed. Unlocked after saving Lucious from a tight spot.
Eternal {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
Eternal
Complete the Endless Knight AR Challenge, taking out 50 Enemies as Batman.
When the Endless Knight challenge starts, you will have 5 minutes on the clock. Time will begin to tick away, and you must take out the enemy thugs to add time to the clock; each takedown (regardless of style) adds 25 seconds. As thugs are taken out, more will spawn into the map.
In the beginning, focus on roaming the grounds and using Silent Takedowns to build up your Fear Takedown meter. Provided you have maxed out Batman's skills in the Single Player, you can effectively take out five enemies in one Fear Takedown, thus adding 2 minutes to the clock. Once the thugs begin planting mines on the ground, take your game to the skies and use Gargoyles as both vantage points and opportunities to perform inverted takedowns when possible.
Knocking out 50 thugs may seem difficult, but it's rather simple through practice. Just be aware that every thug variant will be present on the map eventually - from Brutes wielding Gatling Guns to Medics and Signal Jamming thugs. Every gadget is available here, so be sure to make use of Freeze Bombs and the Voice Synthesizer when necessary and anything else at your disposal. One takedown method I enjoyed performing was using the Disrupter on landmines when enemies were near (it will trigger the mine and knock them out). I also preferred to use a Batarang to cut down enemies I caught in an inverted takedown, as it lessened the chance thugs would plant a mine on that specific gargoyle, allowing me to use it again soon after.
Have patience, use gargoyles to stalk thugs and plan your attacks, and most importantly, move quickly!
Evolution (S) {DLC: Season Of Infamy}
Evolution
Lockup Killer Croc in GCPD.
Story related, cannot be missed.
In Killer Croc's side mission, you’ll need to head over to the downed Iron Heights Penitentiary airship off Bleake Island. Once you arrive and enter through the marked hatch, traverse the interior of the ship. Take note you’ll need the Freeze Blast gadget for this mission! After a tense Dual-Play fight inside the ship’s rec room, speak with the guard inside the control room nearby and the achievement will unlock.
After speaking with the guard, leave the airship and make your way to the first guard’s location. He can be found on a shipping container (attached to the crane) in Dixon Dock West in Bleake Island. Interact with his body to retrieve the first keycard.
The second guard is on top of a rooftop building in Chinatown (Bleake Island), surrounded by a group of thugs. Defeat the hostiles and speak with the guard to obtain his keycard. The achievement will unlock after getting this second keycard.
Return to the airship and use the keycards to gain access to the high security chambers. As you make your way deeper into the ship, you’ll eventually pop out of a floor grate and be thrown into combat against Killer Croc and a few lousy thugs, with Nightwing by your side. As you fight the enemies, build up your Dual Play Takedown meter in order to execute it upon Croc. It will take 5 takedowns to defeat the monstrosity. Eliminate the remaining thugs once Croc has fallen and then use the nearby panel to open the Warden’s prison door. This achievement will unlock after a dramatically long cutscene plays out and both criminals are sent to GCPD.

Destroy all of the militia watchtowers
This achievement is earned for completing the "Occupy Gotham" Most Wanted Side Mission. This side mission will become available right before you infiltrate the first Stagg airship as you are tasked to take one down as part of the story.
Militia Watchtowers are spread across all three islands, after the initial watchtower there will be 20 more to disable. To destroy them you first need to takedown all the nearby enemies and equipment in a mixture of combat and predator scenarios, then approach the control panel to destroy the tower using your explosive gel.
While you will not be automatically notified of their position, they are fairly easy to spot by the red searchlight turrets. Once you have disabled all 21 the achievement will unlock.
Gotham After Midnight
Gotham After Midnight
Glide for 400 meters while less than 20 meters from the ground
To start, simply climb any of the tall buildings around Gotham, jump off, and then dive bomb as far down to the ground before pulling back up just before you reach the ground. Now that you're just above the ground attempt to glide uninterrupted for 400 meters. It may help to set a waypoint 400+ meters away from your dive bomb so you'll know how close you are to your end goal. Once the glide has been successfully completed, the achievement will unlock. It's been reported that this achievement could also be cumulative so if you fail you could still be making progress towards the achievement.

Their locations will be uncovered as you travel around the city. To disarm them you need to upload a virus to them, defend the area from enemy drones as the virus is uploaded and finally overload them using the power winch.

Story related, can not be missed.
Once this villain's mission has been activated, venture inside the GCPD’s new wing and speak with Mad Hatter. He will reveal the location of the first hostage. Head there, activate Detective Vision, and keep your ears open for police sirens. Once you locate the police car, interact with the trunk to defuse the bombs and rescue the hostage. Repeat this again for the second and third hostage (who is missing) locations, and then return to the GCPD.
Speak with Mad Hatter when you arrive and you will soon find yourself trapped inside his “world.” Here, you’ll need to defeat the ambushing thugs, interact with the police hostage, and then quickly grapple to the “next page." After reaching the third page and defeating the thugs, interact with the hostage once more to escape from Hatter’s “world.” The achievement will unlock shortly after once you throw the lunatic in his cell.

This achievement is earned for stopping the third and final bank heist and completing the "Two-Faced Bandit" Most Wanted Side Mission.
This side mission involves stopping three bank heists perpetrated by Two-Face and his cronies. Each one is like a timed predator room where you have a set amount of time, represented by the amount of money they have stolen, to take out a set number of enemies. The bank alarm is blaring so there is no need to take it slow and quiet initially. Once the required number of enemies has been dispatched the alarm will cut off and you will need to take out a handful of enemies stealthily. As this is the final bank of the mission the end scenario will see the arrival of Two-Face and a handful of tougher Militia enemies, including a radar jammer and soldiers who can detect your detective vision. Once you have defeated this final batch of enemies you can escort Harvey to the GCPD to unlock the achievement.

Requiem For A Killer {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
Requiem for a Killer
Defeat an old adversary in the Iceberg Lounge AR Challenge, playing as Batman.
First thing's first, on this combat map, enemies will continuously spawn into the arena as you continue to take out thugs. Thus, there are no "individual" rounds. At the start, it's just a few unarmed hostiles, then it gets increasingly difficult over time. (Stun Baton, shield bearing thugs, and Medics who revive and "electrify" their buddies. Eventually, Ninjas will join the fight, later on, thugs will begin opening the weapon crates to use guns, and finally Brutes will join the mayhem
Now in order to face off against Killer Croc, you will need to obtain 20 Gotham's Greatest points...or in other terms, achieve a score of 1,050,000. Once you've reached this score, enemies will stop spawning into the arena, which means you'll have to wipe out anyone who's left at that time. Once the ring is cleared, Croc will jump in (as will Nightwing) and a Dual Play encounter will ensue similar to Killer Croc's boss fight in his Season of Infamy DLC mission. Take note that while you will regain any lost health once Croc joins the fray, your armor will not replenish. On top of this, Batman and Nightwing share the same vitals. Remember to dodge the villain's attacks while beating up the thugs that join the fight as a means of building up the Dual Play Takedown meter. After 4 Dual Takedowns, the next 2 will be a quick-time event in which you counter Croc's swings and perform Beat Downs. Once Croc is defeated, the achievement will unlock and the fight will carry on.
This achievement requires a tremendous amount of skill. In what seems to be an impossible feat, the only plausible way to obtain the 1,050,000 point requirement is to obtain a 450+ hit combo. That means as soon as the round starts, you can never allow your combo to break either by self error (accidentally countering when no one is attacking) or by getting hit. Even if you lose your combo at 290x, and think it's okay to carry on and amass another 290+ hit combo, it simply won't work that way. There's no other way around it: You must achieve a 450+ hit combo and never have it fall.
Now there are over a dozen combat tips worth sharing for this achievement. A massive thanks to Batman Arkham Videos, Duke of Darkness, ScorchPSO, WACKY WOOKIEE, and AgentGinger419 for all the insight.
Basic Combat Tips:
Evading/Leapfrogging
Abuse it. This move will be your best friend. You will jump over the heads of your enemies, giving you time to survey the arena and pan the camera around to where you need it to be. When you land, act quickly and make your next move so your combo doesn't break.
Countering
Don't neglect the basics of countering an enemy attack when the blue "counter" icon appears over their head. Don't try to strike back or you'll just get hit and lose your combo. Counter their attack, or in the worst case scenario, leapfrog away.
Striking
Know who to strike and who not to strike. Medics and standard thugs (unarmed or gun wielding) can be hit without worry. Shield bearing thugs cannot be hit, and neither can Stun Baton wielding thugs (from the front). If you want to strike a Stun Baton thug, leap over their head, then strike them in the back. Ninjas will leap away the minute you try striking them from the front, so like Stun Baton thugs, get them from the back. Lastly, avoid striking Brutes entirely.
General Advice/Guidelines:
- At a 100x combo, you want to try to have your score at around 50k.
- At a 200x combo, you want to have your score sit between 180k and 200k.
- After you get a 300x combo, stop worrying about your score; stay focused and don't let that combo drop.
- Once you have a 200+ combo, stop using Batman's Disarm completely and start using his Combat Takedown every single time it's available as it nets 10k+ points.
- At a 250+ combo, use the four generators on the outside of the ring to get Environmental Takedowns
- When Brutes spawn into the ring, throw a quickfire Freeze Bomb as it automatically locks on and freezes one Brute in place for a little while.
- You want to try and have your score at 850k+ before the Brutes start spawning into the fight, otherwise it gets to difficult and hectic.
- If you can manage it, pick up dropped baseball bats when your meter allows for it; baseball bat strikes can penetrate anything including shields, Brutes, Shock Batons, and electrified enemies. Spam it until it breaks.
- The moment your combo breaks, restart the challenge right away. Never carry on. The only instance you may want to attempt to carry on is if it breaks at around a score of 950k or higher.
Gadget + Enemy Variant Tips:
Standard Thugs
At the outset, you have nothing to worry about with the standard thugs. The key here is to get critical hits by striking the enemies with perfect pacing. Critical hits add 3x to your combo, rather than 1x. You will want to try and hit a 100x combo at around 50,000 points before the majority of the Medics, Shield, and Stun Baton enemies spawn in.
Medics
When the Medics join the fight, they will begin to revive fallen hostiles and "electrify" other thugs.
You must perform a Batclaw Slam to disable their electricity field. The Batclaw attack will automatically gravitate to any electrified enemies and you are completely invincible to attacks during the animation, get rid of these electrified enemies as soon as you see them, and don't worry about Medics reviving fallen hostiles (seriously, don't worry about that).
Shields and Stun Batons
Enemies who wield Stun Batons cannot be struck from the front; you will need to leapfrog over them to hit them in the back. You should prioritize using Batman's Disarm attack to break their batons. Alternatively, you can use the quickfire REC to knock them to the ground as it will make them drop their batons. Shielded thugs are a hassle, and cannot be struck from the front or the back. Avoid contact with them all together unless you are performing a Disarm attack as a means of breaking their shields. Alternatively, you can perform an Aerial attack to strike them; you are completely safe during the animation when doing this to shielded thugs, but you are vulnerable to hits when doing this on standard thugs.
Ninjas and Gunmen
If you're comfortable performing Blade Dodge Takedowns against ninjas, then by all means, do so as they net a lot of points. If you're rusty or feel as though it will mess you up, avoid a ninja's strikes entirely by leapfrogging over or away from them. Gunmen aren't too bad and the camera will automatically snap to them as they are reloading and getting ready to fire their weapon.
When the camera snaps, your next strike will always gravitate towards them. If you quickfire a Batarang at this "camera snapping" moment, it will always gravitate towards them and knock them down.
Brutes
Brutes will spawn into the fight very late and hopefully you have the needed score before ever seeing too many, or any at all. Their attack speed is insane and their attack range/reach is dangerously long. You need to avoid contact with them all together by leapfrogging over their heads and avoiding strikes of any kind to them. Only engage a Brute when you can perform a Combat Takedown. Street Brutes (wearing jeans and a jacket) take one Combat Takedown to eliminate, while Militia Brutes (wearing military gear) take two.
And that's it. Hopefully the supplied strategies and tips shown above help you on your journey with this achievement.
Riddle Me That
Riddle Me That
Lock up the Riddler in GCPD
Completing all the Riddler trials and freeing Catwoman the Riddler will challenge you to complete all the Riddler challenges before he will finally confront you in person. There are a total of 315 collectibles across 243 riddler challenges, the 90 breakable objects count for 18. Shown below is a breakdown of all the Riddler challenges by area.
It is possible to uncover all these challenges, by interrogating the Riddler informants that are spread out across the three islands. They are easily identifiable by the green glow around either their character model or the vehicle they are driving in. They are often accompanied by other enemies, in these cases you have to be careful to defeat the other enemies without actually taking down the informant so you will be free to interrogate them once the fight is over. Once you have completed all Riddler challenges you will be able to confront the Riddler, defeat him and escort him to the GCPD lock-up to unlock the achievement.

Story related, can not be missed. This achievement will unlock after the final rooftop rumble, once Nightwing returns Penguin to the cells in the GCPD.
Run Through The Jungle
Run Through the Jungle
Fly under 3 main bridges between the islands in one continuous glide
In order to build enough momentum for your flight, you will need to use the "Batmobile Eject," or dive from a high building, then dive bomb towards the first bridge in Gotham. Now you'll want to glide as high as you can before flying underneath the first bridge. Make sure to utilize dive bombs frequently during your flight to create more momentum in your flight. For the easiest route, it's best to start at the bridge on the northern most front of Gotham. Keep in mind that you cannot begin working on this achievement until power is restored to the bridges.
Savage Metal
Savage Metal
Smash 10 militia transport vehicles off the road without using the immobilizer
Militia transport vehicles are red/white and they will routinely engage you during the APC commander missions and other car chase sections. To take them out without using the immobilizer you will need to sideswipe them as you are driving in pursuit mode. You will know when you have successfully taken out the enemy when you see a slow-mo of the vehicle being destroyed. Do this 10 times to unlock the achievement.
Scar Of The Bat
Scar of the Bat
Cure the doctor
This achievement is earned for completing the "Creature of the Night" Most Wanted Side Mission involving the Man-Bat. Take note this mission will only become available after significant story progress has been made.
Once you reach Miagani Island, you'll need to track down the creature's last sighting near Grand Avenue (middle of the island). The creature soars through the skies rather slow, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot, especially if you're using detective vision as he will be highlighted by a red aura. After engaging the winged best and taking a blood sample, the mission will then break down into three subsequent submissions: visiting Man-Bat's lab, tracking down the creature again, then tracking down the creature a third and final time. During this final encounter (in Ryker Heights), you'll be required to administer a cure on the Man-Bat and then bring him to the GCPD in order to round out the mission and finally unlock the achievement.
Secrets Of The Batcave {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
Secrets of the Batcave
Complete the Batcave AR Challenge unharmed as Batman and Nightwing, using only Beat Downs.
In this predator challenge, you will need to take out every thug with a Beat Down as Batman and Nightwing, all while never taking damage. If you accidentally get hit during the challenge, you must restart right away. A key tip in keep in mind when doing this is to run, from behind, right at the thug you want to Beat Down (provided they are alone). This will frighten them for a quick moment, causing them to cower and become vulnerable to the attack. If you try to approach silently and then take them on, it will immediately alert other thugs. Gadgets can also be used throughout the duration of the challenge, so don't be hesitant in luring thugs away with the Voice Synthesizer, throwing Smoke Pellets (as Batman) to cover your attacks, quickfiring Batarangs or Escrima Sticks to knock down nearby thugs, or using the Disrupter to jam some of their firearms. Be patient and use Detective Vision often to track your enemies; three of the thugs here use Camo, so it's best to eliminate them early on by use of the Voice Synthesizer before focusing your attention on the standard thugs.
Seduction Of The Gun
Seduction of the Gun
Achieve 50 critical shots on light tanks
This can be easily completed via the AR Challenge One Man Army under the Batmobile Combat category which is unlocked early in the game. There will be plenty of vehicular combat opportunities throughout the main game but using the AR challenge you can just rinse and repeat until the achievement unlocks so you won't have to worry about using your weaker weapon as much down the road.
A critical hit is attained using the Vulcan Gun and getting a direct hit on a light tank's weak spot which is located on the top, near the turret directly and is highlighted by a purple glow. Hitting this weak spot will make the tank explode and grant the player with a "Critical Bonus" or "Critical Shot" indicator in the top left of the screen. This is a cumulative achievement, and will be awarded after 50 total light tanks have been destroyed via critical shots.
Shock And Awe {DLC: Heroes And Rogues Challenges}

Silent Night, Deadly Night
Complete the Silent Knight AR Challenge unharmed as Batman and Robin, using only Knockout Smashes.
This predator challenge will require you to take out every thug with a Knockout Smash as Batman and Robin, all while never taking damage. If you accidentally get hit during the challenge, you must restart right away. When doing this, take out all the Medic units first. This ensures unconscious thugs cannot be revived during your run. Additionally, gadgets can be used throughout the challenge. When playing as Batman, Smoke Pellets can help cover your attacks, the Voice Synthesizer can be used to isolate thugs, and the Disrupter can jam enemy firearms. Robin doesn't have any of these gadgets however, so more improvisation is required. While playing as either character, make use of Detective Vision in order to track your enemies.

The Chill In The Air {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
The Chill in the Air
Complete the Crime Alley AR Challenge unharmed as Batman, Robin and Nightwing.
In this combat challenge, you'll go up against four increasingly difficult waves of enemies in the tight, close-quarters area of Crime Alley. The most important thing to keep in mind when working on this achievement with all three characters is that you can never get hit, not even once. After each round, the mini stats board should say "No Hits" if you managed to pull it off. If you don't see this, restart the challenge right away.
Combat tactics will vary from player to player, but it's worth keeping the following tips in mind while attempting this:
- Evade the enemies often.
- Don't neglect countering enemies and be careful with Blade Dodge Takedowns; I avoided performing them all together as they're tricky to pull of.
- In the later rounds, save your Combat Takedowns for the Brutes; Street Brutes take one Takedown to knockout, while Militia Brutes require two takedowns.
- Make use of the quickfire Freeze Bomb while playing as Batman since it automatically freezes a Brute for a good amount of time.
- Remember to use Batman's Disarm attack to break shields, stun batons, and firearms.
- Focus your attention on the Medic thugs first so that they can't continuously revive downed hostiles.
Batman's run, given all of his gadgets and basic familiarity, shouldn't be too hard to manage. On the flip side, Robin lacks several useful gadgets and special takedowns (such as the Disarm attack), making him a hassle to deal with. And while Nightwing plays somewhat similar to Batman, his movement is very finicky and he also lacks the Disarm attack.
Just remember to take it slow, evade often, and make sure you are receiving the "No Hits" bonus at the end of all four rounds!
The Cult
The Cult
Save the sacrificial victim and lock up the executioner in GCPD
This achievement is earned for completing the "Lamb to the Slaughter" Most Wanted Side Mission.
Towards the end of the story you will be notified that Jack Ryder has gone missing and you will be directed to investigate the Lady of Gotham statue located on the small central island in the bay. When you arrive you will find Ryder in trouble and a large group of enemies to defeat. Once the fight begins you will have 3 minutes to defeat all the enemies, save Ryder and capture his attacker.
The Curtain Falls {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
The Curtain Falls
Flawless FreeFlow in every round of the Monarch Theatre as Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman.
On Monarch Theatre, each character will face off against four increasingly difficult waves of enemies. The final wave for each character will differ slightly, though take the following into account:
- In the first round, it's just a few standard thugs.
- In the second round, there are a few standard thugs and one Medic.
- In the third round, there are a few standard thugs, two Stun Baton thugs, and one Medic
- In the final round, the enemies will differ for each character, though standard thugs, Medics, and shielded thugs will be present (e.g. There are no Brutes for Catwoman, there are more shields for Robin, etc.)
The key thing with this achievement is that you need to complete all four rounds in one continuous, uninterrupted combo. This means your combo can never break and you cannot get hit. After each round, make sure the bonuses for "No Hits" and "Perfect FreeFlow" are showing up. If you don't see them after a round, restart the challenge.
As always, there's a key tips worth sharing:
- Evade the enemies often.
- Don't be afraid to counter enemies rather than leapfrogging away.
- In the fourth round for all three male characters, prioritize your Combat Takedowns for the Brutes.
- Use the quickfire Freeze Bomb while playing as Batman to automatically freeze a Brute in place for a bit.
- Use Batman's Disarm attack to break shields and stun batons.
- Focus your attention on Medic thugs first whenever they appear.
- You can perform an Arial Strike on shielded thugs, but do not use this on non-shield bearing enemies!!!
- Know your quickfire gadgets; they can prove to be a tremendous help for crowd control.
Like the previous achievement, Batman shouldn't be too hard to master here though Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman are going to be tough, more so in their final round than anything. Remember the basics, stay focused, and make sure to restart the challenge if you aren't getting those two bonuses after each round!

After you have taken down the fifth and final cache you can escort the dealer to the GCPD to unlock the achievement.

Weird War Tales (M) {DLC: A Matter Of Family}
Weird War Tales
Defeat 15 enemies using any type of hacking
As mentioned in the "Ambush" achievement, Batgirl has the ability to perform “Scare Takedowns” on her enemies once they have been distracted and frightened through environmental hacking via the Remote Hacking Device. This achievement can be a little tricky, though if you follow the methods in the two areas described above (for the previous achievement), you’ll already have eight out of fifteen hacking takedowns for this achievement. For a good reference of where and how to obtain the remaining seven, take a look below.
First Opportunity – 1 Enemy - Gondolas
- While grappling towards the Seagate Amusement Park via the gondolas, you can use the Remote Hacking Device to override an electrical terminal inside a gondola and defeat the enemy sniper within.
Second Opportunity – 3 to 4 Enemies - Ferris Wheel
- After taking out the two snipers with regular silent takedowns, try overriding the fortune teller machine towards the back of the attraction. This should lure an enemy in close. Hack it again when he is near the machine to scare him, then move in to perform a takedown.
- After slowing down the Ferris Wheel, grapple up to the gargoyles in front of the attraction and you should spot two goons walking over an electrical floor panel. If timed correctly, you can override the panel to take both of them out.
- There are two more electrical floor panels in the area, meaning you can take out at least one more enemy via the same method, especially if you weren’t able to get the dual execution on the first floor panel.
Third Opportunity – 1 to 2 Enemies - Ghost Ship (Exterior)
- After taking out the sniper on the Ghost Ship, grapple up to the mast and hack the fortune teller machine below you. This should lure in at least two enemies. Now hack the machine again to scare the goons, then drop down to get a double takedown.
Fourth Opportunity – 3 to 4 Enemies - Ghost Ship (Interior)
- Inside the Ghost Ship, you will enter a large predator-like area where there is a large wooden ship attraction with a flamboyant Kraken head at the front. Highlight the Kraken head with the Remote Hacking Device and try to make sure there are at least 3 to 4 enemies highlighted.
- Now hack the Kraken head to lure the enemies underneath the structure, and then hack it once more. This will release a toxic gas cloud that will knock all the enemies out immediately.
If you follow the suggestions detailed above, you’ll notice that it will amount to a potential total of 19 enemies defeated using any type of hacking. It’s in your best interest to follow these suggestions carefully since post narrative, obtaining this achievement will prove to be nearly impossible since the remaining goons in the park aren’t located near any devices that can be hacked.
What The Butler Saw {DLC: Crime Fighter Challenge Packs}
What the Butler Saw
Complete the Wayne Manor AR Challenge as Batman without using any gadgets or taking any damage.
In this predator challenge, there are a total of 6 thugs roaming the manor; one of which is a Brute wielding a Gatling Gun and another standard thug with a Scrambler Pack. You'll need to take all of them out while never taking damage or using any gadgets. The Grappling Hook is off limits, though Detective Vision is okay! If you accidentally get hit even once or use a quickfire gadget due to instinctual reflex, restart the challenge. Strategies and preferred pathing involved in this challenge will alter from player to player, though it's important to know that you should always save the Brute for last! They can only be taken out via Beat Downs and if taken out while standard thugs are still remaining, you will definitely be caught in crossfire during your Beat Down.
