Batman Arkham Asylum Walkthrough and Mega Guide

Intensive Treatment

Once inside, look for the vent door to the right and help yourself through. This time, instead of following all the way through to the other vent door, look for a path that opens up to the left. Emerge out of the vent and turn right, towards the mesh. You’ll see a grapple target here so shoot yourself up and head through this vent as well. At the end of the vent, take a right here and sprint down. Drop down to the area below and turn into the vent to your left. You should notice a cut scene that shows you the number of cronies Joker has waiting for you.

Kick down the vent door and take a few steps back so you are deeper in the vent. Wait for the henchman on the catwalk below to turn his back to you, and you should soon see him walking away. Immediately drop down and crouch walk towards him. Give him a Silent Takedown and crouch walk to the next henchman, towards your left. Take him out, and immediately drop down to the lower level by jumping over the railing. Go into Detective Mode and stay away from the guy’s unconscious body as possible. That’s because with their little collars, they will be able to detect when Batman’s close.

For the rest of the enemies, you will have to do your best Solid Snake impression. Try to look for enemies for you to sneak up on and use a Silent Takedown on. Do that, and immediately get the hell out. You’d want to stay in Detective Mode the entire time. You don’t always have to use the Silent Takedown, by the way. You can also grapple upto a vantage point and Glide Kick someone. Be careful though, because you won’t be able to hide from them because there are explosives on the statues, making them unsafe. Once you’ve disposed of everyone, head through the door below the vent you came in from, on the ground floor.

In the next room, sprint straight down the hallway. When your game starts glitching, don’t worry about it, nothing is broken. Once the cut scene is over, you will be in control of someone cool. Just like the first time you played this part, follow the linear path and just let the game progress. Once the game abruptly ends, Retry and you will regain control of Batman.

All right, head up the ramp here and jump across the gap. Turn to the right and walk towards the broken door here. Stop once you hit the wall and aim across with your Line Launcher. Time to complete our trilogy against Scarecrow. This trilogy has also been about as competitive as Tito Ortiz vs. Ken Shamrock I think. Sure, the first one might have been pretty challenging, but you can sleep on the last two.

Sorry, just had to get that out of the system. Begin by jumping across the gap to your right. Crouch behind that machine thing on the next platform. Let Scarecrow past now and sprint straight ahead. You’ll be greeted with a few more of those Skeleton guys so just dispose of them like anyone else. Once they’re over with, sprint straight down this path and climb up. Do take cover briefly at this brick wall. Wait for Scarecrow to look at your desired path, and let it pass. Sprint straight ahead when you can. Take cover at that machine again when you can.

Next, continue ahead and wait a bit before jumping the gap [Checkpoint]. Crouch walk the next little bit and use the wall for cover. Jump over the next gap and just continue on until you reach the sliding platform. Use the sliding platform for cover and sprint alongside it. Use the next brick wall for scarecrow’s gaze to pass. Climb up the next platform and jump onto the metal crate. This will drop you down, but just wait. Wait for Scarecrow to look left so you can grapple up to the right. As you pass this last bit, be very careful of the gate, as Scarecrow can see through it. Make your way to the light, but it won’t be over this time.

For this next part, you will have to deal with three more waves of enemies. The first wave are a bunch of those Skeleton warriors. The second “wave” is a Skeleton Titan. Blind it once with the Baterang and it will run into the wall to kill itself. The final wave will be a combination of the Skeleton melee guys and a Titan. The Titan will spawn last so immediately goto work on the melee guys. If you are fast, you might even be able to kill them all before Titan starts attacking. Otherwise, keep an eye on the Titan, and just counter the skeleton attacks. Look for the Baterang to take out Titan first, and then goto work on the others.

Once this Scarecrow sequence ends, sprint straight ahead and through the door.

At the short cut scene’s conclusion, sprint straight ahead and right down the elevator shaft.

Riddler Challenge
	“Dr. Jonathan Crane plans on elevating fear to new depths.”Once you hit the bottom of the elevator shaft, climb into the 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.

With another riddle solved, it’s time to turn around and crawl out of this vent. Go into Detective Mode now and look for the orange wire to your right. Take note of the three henchmen here. Grapple up and head up the stairs. You can sneak up on the guy with the gun and immediately incapacitate him. Follow suit by destroying the other two clowns. Grab the Interview Tape on the table before turning your attention to the Security Control Panel. All right, the elevator shaft has opened up, allowing you to go another level deeper.

Drop down there and engage the unarmed henchmen. They will attempt to arm themselves with the two gun crates in this room, so watch out for that. Once you’ve taken care of these guys, head through the door to the left.

As soon as you come in, pick up the Interview Tape on the crate to your left. Follow the hallway to the right now, and open up the door to emerge into Croc’s Lair.
