Staying Safe In Gotham
Many would argue that someone who glides around a crime-ridden Gotham is a maniac – and, by that, highly unsafe. You were once one of these people, until you saw your bevy murdered by a VERY unsafe man.
You vowed to keep the otters of Gotham safe. But how to do so... Without risking your own safety?
Throughout this guide, I, The Safest of Otters, hope to help you achieve your destiny and become a truly safe otter in...
BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS
The Foes Of The Otter
As the Bat-Otter, you will face many poachers, with no romp to support you. This section of the Otter Safety Manual will describe various hunter types, and how to stay safe in their presence.
1) UNARMED AND UNSAFE
An enemy who will risk your safety frequently, the unarmed gang member is a threat (even when wearing a onesie) to any otter if they are not well prepared.
He has 1 basic melee attack, with various animations, ranging from a kick to a punch. These attacks are easily counterable, and, should you wish to stay safe, you should take advantage of this to chain combos.
When sneaking, remain out of sight. He is partially deaf due to an incident with a loudhailer and a broccoli on his 14th birthday, so should not be able to hear your webbed paws slapping against the floor.
You should be able to use gargoyles, air vents and conveniently placed grates to full advantage, provided the cleaning schedules are followed.
2) ARMED AND ANGEROUS
The first thing you should attempt as the Bat-Otter is to try and find the otter who is selling firearms to any old criminal - and provide a serious risk to their safety.
Seriously, the amount of crazed youths with access to guns in Gotham is a health and safety hazard.
Anyway, should you fail to cut the supply of weapons to your enemies, there are three options available to you:
1) Quit your job (Gotham will be forever unsafe if this option is chosen)
2) Sneak (as detailed for unarmed otters)
3) Glide to your destination. Be careful to not to get your cape caught on anything, so as not to risk your safety. Should your cape be teared, perforated or otherwise damaged, avoid using it. Otters were never meant to fly. Be grateful you can, no matter how long for.
3) THE VALVE FAN
Look at him there, using a pipe as if it were a baseball bat. Or a crowbar. Hell, maybe he thinks it's the caber. Ever the adoring sycophant of Steam, Valve and of course, Mr. Gabe Newell.
Regardless of the inner workings of his brain, this Valve-obsessed otter should prove little trouble for a well prepared Safe Otter. Follow the same tactics as for the unarmed delinquent, and stay safe.
Wait for a flash sale, then strike with the forces of your wallet. Or your armoured paw. That will do fine.
4) THE CAR THIEF
Would the owner of a green Series 1 Land Rover please report to lost and found? We appear to have an infinitely growing collection of your car doors...
Despite my best efforts to prevent unsafe and illegal parking, someone has clearly left their 4x4 in an inappropriate place – and paid the price. Certain members of criminal lodges can be seen wielding doors as makeshift shields. Annoyingly, these are pretty effective. Attacks from shielded poachers cannot be countered, so it is best to either avoid them in group fights or prioritise them. They can be taken out easily by stunning and pressing the jump key, however be careful not to break any glass in the door. WayneTech is yet to certify whether the Otter-Suit is glassproof.
Note-to-self: PERFORM RISK ASSESSMENT A.S.A.P
5) THE DRUG ADDICT
As the Safest of Otters, it is my duty to inform all children of the dangers of illegal drugs. Remember the incident that the unarmed poacher had with a broccoli on his 14th birthday? I think this guy might have been there too. He certainly didn't pay any attention to my hour-long lecture...
Just punch this guy until the thing falls off his back. You will be doing the couch a favour: ridding its streets of hardened criminals whilst providing affordable and effective drug rehabilitation. Avoid the safety hazard of being punched in the face or other, more sensitive, areas.
6) THE OTHERS
Obviously, this manual cannot do your job for you. There are many other poachers who will threaten the safety of you and your holt. Should you encounter an unknown enemy, do not panic – remember the primary rule of the Safe Otter: Adapt to survive.
Miscellaneous Safety
This section details the other things an otterly brilliant crime-fighter can do to stay safe and sound.
1) DON'T GET FOOD POISONING
As the Safest of Otters, I always cook my fish properly (see my Otter Scrolls: Skyrim guide on how I do it) and thus avoid the horrific hallucinations which can be caused by the consumption of raw fish.
I cannot stress how important it is you do the same.
A healthy diet keeps an otter at the top of his/her game. A healthier one keeps a safe otter somewhere in the middle of his/her game, so he/she does not risk falling off.
2) HIRE GOOD SECURITY
I hear the Batman charges reasonable rates. Very safe.
3)WRAP UP WARM (COLD, COLD OTTER ONLY)
Hypothermia is a danger to us all in the winter, despite our thick pelts. It is important that every otter wears a protective layer of clothing, preferably heated, during the cold nights.
Why? Well...
It happens when the body is losing heat faster than it can make it.
Hypothermia is caused by:
extreme cold
taking sedatives or alcohol when cold
certain medical conditions such as heart problems
The symptoms of hypothermia are:
violent shivering, which stops as hypothermia becomes more severe
confusion
difficulty in moving
memory loss
tiredness
slurred speech
slow, shallow breathing
weak pulse.
What can be done?
Move the person somewhere warm.
Change them out of wet clothing.
Wrap them in warm clothing.
Give them warm drinks, but not alcohol.
Give them food that is rich in carbohydrates.
Hypothermia occurs when the core body temperature falls below 35°C.
That's why.
4) GET A FIRE GOING (COLD, COLD OTTER ONLY)
To avoid hypothermia. Obviously. Don't let the fire get out of control, though. As the Safest of Otters, I keep a fire extinguisher next to my hearth at all times. Also, I have the fire service on speed dial. I find it difficult to type on touchscreens, what with my webbed paws, so, you know. Desperate times, and all that.
Why So Safe?
What are the benefits of being a Safe Citizen of Gotham, you ask?
*You get all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!
*You don't have to worry about loading screens.
*Achievements for all!
*You spend less time in-game. Less bugs. Faster-paced story. More fun.
*You make Gotham a safe place for all otters involved.
Anyway, I hope that this guide has turned you into a truly Safe Otter.
Stay Safe,
The Safest of Otters
"I tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love, yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life to try it just ain't smart?
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?
There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?"
Because I wrapped up warm in mah pelt. You can't melt it because it's not frozen. Rek'd.
