Batman Arkham Asylum Walkthrough and Mega Guide

As soon as you come in, head over to the table on the right and pick up the Interview Tape. Go into Go into Detective Mode and take note of the henchmen ahead. Go into crouch walk mode and Silent Takedown the guy with the gun. Finish off the other two. All right, follow the samples to the left and then turn left again, up the small hill. Follow this hallway for a bit and it should lead you to an area with a dead warden. There are also a bunch of Joker Teeth around here.

Riddler Challenge

“How do you reflect on your successes and failures, Batman?”The DNA samples are going to lead you to the left of the guard. Instead of going in that direction, enter into the opening directly ahead. It will lead you right to the washroom area. Head down the steps and turn right to the women’s side. Go into Detective Mode and do an Evironment Analysis on the reflection on the wall to do complete this one.

Now that you’ve got this Riddler Challenge, you can also pick up the Riddler Trophy in one of the stalls in the men’s washroom. Head back up the stairs now, and follow the samples into the door you ignored earlier. Don’t let  all of the enemies scare you, as they are in the cells. Go down this hallway now, and head into the prison area. Stick to the left here, and it should lead you to an opening. Stay in Detective Mode and look to the left to find a detonable wall with a Riddler Trophy. Turn around and head up the nearby stairs and through the door. Proceed deeper into the Green Mile room to activate a brief cut scene.

Now time to follow the samples to the right, and circle to the door behind Ivy’s cell.

Riddler Challenge
	“A case of mistaken identity?”Before following the samples to the left, circle to the right and you should see a glass with someone who appears to be Aaron Cash behind it. Do an environment analysis on this guy to solve this riddle.

Head up the nearby stairs to the left of where the fake Aaron Cash was, and be in Detective Mode. Keep an eye out for the detonable wall on the left. Now head down the stairs and follow the samples up the next set of stairs. Once you reach the top, a brief cut scene will initiate. As soon as it concludes, help Sharpe and you will receive a new gadget! The Cryptographic Sequencer will allow you to (finally) to open those doors bugged by the Security Control Panels. Head outside and you will find a security control panel to test it on.

To use it, you have to take advantage of the rumble feature on your controller. The combination needed to “jam” each Security Control Panel consists of Up, down, left, right, and also a diagonal direction on EITHER of the sticks. So a combination could be left on the left stick and top-right on the right stick. The rumble feature assists you because as you get closer to the combination, it will rumble more intensely.  The screen on Batman’s sequencer will also turn lighter as you get closer to jamming it.

Head back down the stairs and head towards the door to the Green Mile (where Ivy was). If you want, you can turn up the stairs to the right and jam a Security Control Panel to grab another Riddler Trophy. Otherwise, head on through. Circle around to the next door and back to the Main Cell Block. As you make your way, watch out a single jumping maniac to come out of a cell to your left. You can dispose of it with a melee attack. Anyway, head on through the door and down the stairs. Go straight ahead and a cut scene will activate.

The floor is filled with electricity, but don’t worry. Immediately sprint to the right and just run along the wall here. Soon you should see a grapple target. Get your ass up there and prepare for a battle with a few unarmed henchmen. Watch for the guys to run to a weapon’s crate to try and grab some weapons. Once you see someone standing there, looking for something, take him out immediately.

Once you clear you this first wave, a few more guys are going to come in. One of them is going to have a gun so be sure to dispose of him quickly. Once you take out the entire wave, Harley Quinn is going to be shown running away. All right, stay on the platform you are on now. Sprint towards the tunnel surrounded with metal bars, and turn left to the Security Control Panel. Go into Detective Mode to assist your search. Don’t forget about the Interview Tape on the table. Jam this panel the floor will no longer be electrified and the security gate Harley Quinn ran through will now be opened.

Immediately one of those Lunatics will charge at you. Just spam the Counter Button as you wait for it to approach you. Inside, turn to the left and look for a Riddler Trophy in the middle cell here.

Riddler Challenge
	“This room is the end of days for even the most celebrated killer.”Once you’ve got the above Riddler Trophy, look for a cell in this room filled with a bunch of calendar pages. Do a scan here to solve this riddle.

All right, now that you’ve gotten everything, look for a set of stairs that leads upwards and help yourself up. You’ll now be in the Guard Room. Don’t waste any time and sprint straight through the door ahead. This next sequence involving Harley Quinn and the two guards in hostage is going to be timed, but don’t be intimidated. Best to get into Detective Mode. As soon as the cut scene is over, start jamming the Security Control Panel to the left of the glass Harley is behind.

Don’t bother saving just yet, as we might as well get everything done before untying them. All right, so stick along the left wall here, and turn left again when you can. You should see that the wire on the ground leads right to this panel. Get out your gadget and start jamming. Complete this and untie both guards by launching your Baterang at their lines. This isn’t quite over yet. As soon as Harley leaves, turn around and sprint straight to the door you came in from and jam the security control panel to the right. Leave this room now and this small task is complete.

Head right through the door, and down the stairs. Make your way back to the Main Cell Block now. Once back in here, sprint straight across to the other end of the room. You should see a locked door, but also a door that’s opened. Head through this one to find Controlled Access. Sprint straight ahead here and up the small stairs.

Riddler Challenge
	“What has four walls, two sides, and one ex-DA?”After sprinting up the small stairs in the first floor of Controlled Access, turn to the right and look for a cell that has a big “Vote Dent” poster. Do an environment analysis on this poster to solve this riddle.

Head over to the Security Gate door now, and you should see a vent close by, in the ceiling. Use the Batclaw to facilitate your grapple up there. Watch out for the Lunatic that’s going to fall through. Collect the Interview Tape on the desk in this small office, and sprint straight ahead. There’s another Lunatic up here, so be sure to stay on your toes. Once you reach the stairs on the other side of this room, descend them and head through the nearby door. It’s time to confront that female dog, Harley Quinn.

You will deal with three waves of enemies. Watch out for the guys with the electric batons. Try to stay away from them as much as possible, and watch for when they are about to attack. You can’t strike them so try to use your Batclaw to knock them down before KOing them with a ground takedown. Be careful of the floor, because Harley is going to charge it with some electric currents. Watch for when the henchmen scramble to move to a separate platform, and also watch the floor to kind of light up to know when to move. That’s basically it–be cautious of the guys with the electric rods, combo up, and move to another platform when it starts to get electrified.

Riddler Challenge
	“All alone in your cell? Why don’t you break the ice with the most dangerous prisoners?”From where you came in, there’s a big frozen structure along the wall to the right. If you stand right in front of it, such that you’re basically parallel with the “4”, scan from this position to solve the riddle.

All right, now that the battle is over time to head out of the penitentiary. Before we do that though, let’s grab the Riddler Secrets Map. Head north, towards the building that Harley was standing in when you first came in. Head into this room and look left for a desk. You’ll find the Secrets Map here. With this map, you will be able to see which room has some of the Riddler goodies on your own map (select).

Anyway, time to continue. Leave through the door you came in from and out of this room with the electrified floors. Head up the stairs and turn left, into the little office. There’s an Interview Tape on the desk by the TV. What we came in for though, is the Security Gate Control. Go up to it and the frequency is hold Right on the Right Stick and left on the Left stick. Now let’s head back down the stairs and through the new opening. Now turn right and go in this direction down the small stairs. There are three Joker Teeth in your way as well. Continue down the stairs and sprint straight down the hallway to the next door as well.

Turn right when you’re in the next room and go down this hallway. Be prepared for one of those running crazy guys who like to jump on you. Counter it down. Once you head through the door in this hallway, there’s a single Joker Teeth set on the ground. Turn right in this room and follow the linear path here. There’s going to be another one of those crazy jumping guys shortly. Follow the path to leave the Penitentiary.

Arkham Island

Once outside, there’s a lone Lunatic here so be ready to counter it as well. So now that you’ve taken care of this one, turn left and sprint in this direction. Two more of those jumping enemies await you. It’s a good idea to just spam the Counter button as you approach them. You’ll come across the door leading to Arkham North, so head on through. You’ll come across two Joker Teeth as you make your way up the hill.

Turn left when you can and go through the small door. Be prepared to be ambushed by a bunch of Lunatics. You can shoot your Batclaw at any of them that are coming towards you and pull them a little closer. Run up to their downed bodies and use a ground takedown to immediately neutralize the threat. Sprint straight across the field towards the Arkham East door. Spam the Counter button as you go so you won’t get tackled by a Lunatic. Once back in Arkham East, proceed a little bit and keep an eye out for a large staircase to your left. There’s also a couple Joker Teeth in front of you as well. Anyway, the staircase will lead you to the Botanical Gardens. You’ll be interrupted by a few more Lunatics along the way.
