Batman Arkham Asylum Walkthrough and Mega Guide

It is recommended that you attempt to tackle the 240 different challenges after you’ve completed the Main Story. This is because you’ll now have all the gadgets, so every riddle is obtainable. Second, and less importantly, the number of enemies you run into after the game drops like by 1000%. Maybe not exactly 1000%, but close enough. This will allow you to explore each area virtually without any interruptions.

We are going to separate the Riddler challenges into different areas, and help you find everything there. I won’t be breaking them up into different riddles, as I feel this is counterproductive. Instead, I’ll just list everything that can be found in one area, then we move onto the next area, and so on. Do note that there are Riddler Secret Maps in each area as well, and finding these will show every secret the Riddler has on your own map (Select).

Also, please remember to get the RANGE upgrade for the Cryptographic Sequencer!!! You’ll need this for many of the Challenges.

Intensive Treatment

Enter Intensive Treatment from Arkham North, exactly like you did when you had to come back to find Croc’s Lair. Our guide will begin in the first sector of Intensive Treatment you encounter: Maintenance Access.

+—-M a i n t e n a n c e  A c c e s s—-+

Riddler Trophy
Once inside, look for the vent to your right. Crawl on through and come out when you see the trophy. Sprint straight ahead and climb up the fence. Drop down the little space to the right, and walk to the trophy.

+—-I n t e n s i v e  T r e a t m e n t  L o b b y—-+

Riddle
“A puzzle has many sides, but only some are visible.”

Before making your way to the Utility Corridor, there is one more  riddle in the Intensive Treatment Lobby. This is the “object does not  line up correctly” one. There’s an office in the very centre of this  room. Inside, look for a question mark on one of the windows (in  Detective Mode). Now look out the window and towards the big circular  vent on the wall. Just below that circular vent should be another  circle. Position the camera so that small circle forms a question mark  with the hook on the window to solve this one.

Interview Tape
In the same office as the above riddle, look for the tape on one of the desks.

Joker Teeth
In the southern part of the room, there’s a platform here where the very first riddle was solved. There are three Joker Teeth around the body in a surgery chair.

+—-U t i l i t y  C o r r i d o r—-+

Head through the exit in the west to make your way to the Utility Corridor.

Riddler Trophy
As soon as you come in, you’ll see a Riddler Trophy behind the fence. Go into Detective Mode and look for the detonable wall to the right. Blow it up and collect this.

Riddle
“You don’t know Jack about Gotham. Tune in to find out.”

Keep going until you see the broken wheel chair to the right, as well as signs that you would typically see on a women’s washroom, and a men’s washroom. There are also arrows below them. Go to the WOMEN’s side, and right away you should see a bench to the right, as well as a radio on that bench. Crouch, go into Detective Mode, and hit the right stick (R3 on the PS3) to go into first person mode (check your default config to find out what input this is, if it’s not the right stick). Don’t stand too close, and get the radio in your view. Hold the Detective Mode button to do an environmental analysis to solve the radio. If it says “object is out of view”, you are standing too close.

+—-C e l l  B l o c k  T r a n s f e r—-+

Enter the Cell Block Transfer through the door on the right, from the Intensive Treatment Lobby.

Riddle
“Hook up with the relatives before you’re transferred out of here.”

As soon as you get in jam the Security Control Panel and head up the stairs. Up
here, look over to the table and identify the picture in a frame. Go into First
Person mode (click the right stick), and look at the picture. Scan this to
solve the riddle.

Interview Tape
From the above riddle, head north down the hallway and you’ll see an opening leading to a set of stairs to the right. In order to get this, you must have the Cryptographic Range Amplifier upgrade. This will allow you to reach the security control panel that is behind the security gate.

+—-S e c u r e  T r a n s i t—-+

Enter Secure Transit through one of the doors at the end of the hallway in Cell Block Transfer.

Interview Tape
Turn to the right when you come in and head up the stairs. You’ll find a tape on the table here.

Joker Teeth
You should see these as you attempt to grab the above Interview Tape. You’ll spot the teeth on the ground, near the dead guard.

***Secrets Map***
Drop all the way down the elevator shaft until you are on the bottom floor, in the room leading to Croc’s Lair. Look for the stairs to your left, in the eastern part of the room. Head up these stairs and look to the left immediately when you come in. You’ll see the map on a table with some flowers.

Riddle
“Dr. Jonathan Crane plans on elevating fear to new depths.”

Once you hit the bottom of the elevator shaft, grapple up to a vent on the wall. As you navigate through it, keep an eye out for a path that opens up to the right. Take a scan of the green map to solve this one.

Interview Tape
On the floor with the door leading back to Transfer Loop, there are a set of stairs that lead right to a little office. You’ll find the Interview Tape on the table.

Riddler Trophy
Keep an eye out for a vent door in the north that you can use your Ultra Batclaw on, right at the beginning of the climb. You can sprint and jump towards the vent to grab the trophy inside.

Chronicle of Arkham
Remember when you were climbing up the first time, and ignored a path to the left? After climbing up a few platforms, and you have to crouch to move under a huge structure, there’s a path that opens up to the left. There are two detonable walls here. Blow up the one on the left to find it inside.

Chronicle of Arkham
There’s really no way you could have missed this one… once you’re almost at the top– just a grapple hook away as a matter of fact, there’s a stone right in front of you. Scan it to get this one.

+—-T r a n s f e r  L o o p—-+

Joker Teeth
If you haven’t gotten these already, there are three Joker Teeth to the left of where you came in from.

Chronicle of Arkham
In the eastern part of the map, and right before the door leading to Decontamination, look for a vent door near the ceiling, above the picture of Sharp (the bald old man). The picture of Sharp also has a Joker smile drawn on him. You’ll need the Ultra Batclaw to reach it.

Joker Teeth
You should seen these on the ground, right where the door leading to Decontamination is.

Joker Teeth
From the above Joker Teeth, follow the green arrows and they will lead you to the door with Joker’s face on it. Inside was where you fought the Deformed Henchmen. You’ll find a few more Joker Teeth outside the door here.

Riddle
“A top hat and tails is the only dress code for this party in the North.”

Take a look at your map, and notice the central portion of the Transfer Loop. The “red hallway”, or the hall way with red light precedes this central part if you’re coming from the west. Anyway, there’s a room where half of the door is blocked off, but you can still crawl through. Inside, there’s a poster to the right of the door. It reads “Iceberg Lounge”, and it has a guy goofy looking guy wearing a top hat.

+—-H o l d i n g  C e l l s—-+

Riddler Trophy
Head down the ramp once you arrive in the Holding Cells and turn to the right. In the southeast corner here is a vent, you can climb in to find a trophy.

Riddle
“Where would you find my home sweet home?”

There are two cells on each side of the room. On your map, the cell in the east, and on the top is filled with question marks. You need to scan the big question mark on the eastern wall to solve this riddle.

Joker Teeth
In the office next to the door leading to the Processing Corridor are three Joker Teeth. You probably got these already.

+—-P r o c e s s i n g  C o r r i d o r—-+

Riddler Trophy
Make your through the corridor and to the northeast of your map. This will take you to the door right outside Decontamination. Don’t head through the door. Instead, turn around and grapple up into the vent. You’ll find the trophy in here.

+—-D e c o n t a m i n a t i o n—-+

Interview Tape & Riddler Trophy
Head through the hallway here and make your way to the Security Gate door to your right in here. There’s a Security Control Panel to the right of the door for you to use your Sequencer on. Jam it up and head through. There’s the tape right there.

For the Riddler Trophy, climb up the ladder inside and pick it up.

Riddler Trophy
From where you gathered the above two items, turn into the area immediately to the right. There’s a dead guard lying on a little ramp thing. There are also two floorboards you can climb into. You’ll find the trophy in there.

+—-P a t i e n t  P a c i f i c a t i o n  C e n t e r—-+

Riddler Trophy
Head up the first set of stairs you see and at the top look for the vent door. You can use your Batclaw on this and grapple up to collect it.

Riddler Trophy
Head to the bottom floor to where Victor Zsasz had that guard hostage. In the southwest corner of the room is a vent with a Riddler Trophy inside.

Riddle
“Even I was shocked when I saw how Maxie Zeus was treated!”

Get into Detective Mode and look for a detonable wall in the southeast corner of the bottom floor (where Zsasz was again). Blow it up and scan the flashing wall to solve the final riddle of Intensive Treatment.
