Introduction

Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum, AKA "I'm Batman: The Game." Batman has kept his arsenal of gadgets since then, and now sets his sights on Arkham City, a new penitentiary built by Mayoral-Elect Quincy Sharp, which is being overseen by Hugo Strange. Batman must stop the evils within Arkham City, and there are 51 Trophies in Arkham City to persuade you to stop them all, along with 10 additional DLC Trophies, which this guide won’t cover.

 

 

Catwoman

Every new copy of Arkham City has a code for the Catwoman story episodes. While the Catwoman DLC is not required for getting all of Batman’s Riddles, it seems beneficial to have her for certain Riddles. On the flip side, some Catwoman Riddles can only be acquired with Batman’s help.

 

 

Missable Trophy

Arkham City has 1 missable trophy, Catch, but can be earned very early on by starting a new game. If you complete the Mystery Watcher Side Mission, you can no longer earn this Trophy in your current game. It doesn’t count towards your Perfect Knight 2.0 status, so it’s best just to start up a new game on Easy and get it in 10 minutes at the point where you can start the Side Mission.

 

 

Glitched Trophies

There have been a few reports of glitched Trophies, but two are concrete: Pay your Respects and Storyteller. Remember to let the music finish for Pay for Your Respects, or keep trying since it will only waste a minute of your time at a time. For Storyteller, this falls under the spectrum of 'may delete your save data' if you try and use the date switching workaround. It's highly recommended that you backup your Save File and trying to get it on a different file than your main one.

 

 

Walkthrough

Step 1: New Game

Start up a New Game and play through the game on Normal since it's the lowest difficulty that unlocks New Game Plus. Here, you can go through the story. You can earn Catch, AR Knight, and Gotham Base Jumper very easily in addition to all of the Story trophies.

 

Step 2: Cleanup

After beating the Main Game, you should go ahead and do all of the Side Missions, Riddles and get all of Batman's upgrades before tackling a New Game Plus, which ups the Game's Difficulty from the Difficulty you originally chose.

 

Step 3: New Game Plus

This is a more difficult playthrough of your first playthrough, and is set to one level above Hard, regardless of difficulty. Keep in mind that you also need to do all of the Side Missions for Perfect Knight – Day 2 here as well. The only difficult one will be the Assaults since they appear randomly.

 

Step 4: Riddler’s Revenge

There are 2 parts to Riddler’s Revenge:

#1 – 24 Ranked Maps, consisting of 12 Combat and 12 Predator Challenges (6 Normal and 6 Extreme for each)

#2 – 12 Campaign Maps, each consisting of 3 Maps

 

Combat Challenges - These were the bane of many players for Arkham Asylum, but thanks to the Bat Swarm Combo, they are now a breeze.

Predator Challenges – These are a step up from Arkham Asylum, and require much more precision and luck to get done quickly.

 

Campaigns – 3 Maps each, being a mixture of Combat and Predator Challenges. You must get 3 Medals on each in 1 sitting to get all 9 for a Campaign (You’re allowed 3 total restarts throughout a Campaign excluding the first map). In addition to this, you’re given Modifiers that you must use throughout a Campaign. You choose where to use them, but be careful and try to plan ahead when using them.

 

Don’t forget to get all of the extra Combat Trophies here as well, and can be done with any Map or Mode, DLC included.

Collect enough evidence to locate the gun for hire

 

See Contract Terminated for more details.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/17.jpg Contract Terminated (S)

Stop the contract operative

 

This is a Side Mission called “Shot in the Dark.” You have to find details for 3 different Shootings, starting with the point of the dead body and bullet hole, followed by tracing the shot back to its' origin for a clue.

 

[spoiler=target]First Victim: You meet a political prisoner in the Industrial Zone, which is marked on your map. He is subsequently killed in front of you. Afterwards, trace it back to the southwest to find the bullet shell. After that, you'll be done until you get a prompt for the 2nd victim.

 

Second Victim: The body is located on a broken piece of highway, northeast of the northern-most Catwoman switch point in the post-game. You’ll trace the shot back through a Water Tower to where a Tripod is. Again, you must wait to find out where his next victim is.

 

Third Victim: This one is located on the street above where “Park Row” is. Some inmates are crowded around the dead body. After tracing back the shot, and finding Deadshot's outline in the snow, you will be given 3 possible locations to where his stash is. Choose the one on the Northeast part of the map. After that, just follow what needs to be done to complete it and get the Trophy. You will get the Trophy for Forensic Expert after finding his stash.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/18.jpg Serial Killer (S)

Track down the serial killer

 

This Side Mission begins just south of the entrance to Wonder Tower in the Bowery. While you can find these bodies throughout the game, which are unmarked by the way, the game won't allow you to pursue them until you have a specific number of Riddles done.

 

[spoiler=hush]You'll come across a dead body, scan it and identify some evidence to follow a trail. After getting to the end of the trail and interrogating the person the Side Mission formally opens.

 

The next victim is located just to the north of where it says "ACME Chemicals Building," it's a small patch of darkness on the map between two buildings. After identifying the body and materials, you will be done with the second part of the quest.

 

The third victim is located just south of the "ACME Chemicals Building" on a street. You to climb a fence in order to get to it from the streets. After identifying what's necessary, you'll follow a path to a person of interest who will tell you the location of the killer. After going there, hit :cross: on the answering machine to play the cutscene. Afterwards, use your Cryptographer to open the gate and get the Trophy.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/19.jpg Mystery Stalker (B)

Reveal the mystery watcher

 

There are 4 parts to this Side Mission. If done in the post-game, enter/exit a nearby building first before each encounter.

 

[spoiler=circle]Part 1 - After leaving the Courthouse early on, he's across the street on top of the building to your right. This is when you can get the Catch Trophy as well. You should be able to see him there by clicking :rs: on your controller.

 

Part 2 - After leaving the Steel Mill for the first time you should be facing the ocean, so go left and you should see a Ferris Wheel. Go to the top of the Ferris Wheel for the second signal.

 

Part 3 - After interrogating Quincy Sharp and the cutscene ends, turn around to see that he's across the street on top of the building for the 3rd signal. He should be slightly to your right and slightly above you.

 

Part 4 - After saving Vicky Vale, turn around and look to the building across the street for his next-to-final location. After getting the final signal, you'll be asked to line up the symbols to reveal the location of the final symbol. The 4 dots represent the 4 places where you've met him so far. The final location is a side of the Church, where the full symbol is waiting to be scanned. Go there and scan it for the final meeting and the Trophy.

Answer the call for help

 

See Broken Toys for more details.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/21.jpg Broken Toys (S)

Destroy it all

 

This Mission starts by entering a building where a Distress Flare is on top of it to get Distress Flare, and is located south of the GCPD building on your map. For this Side Mission you are asked to destroy 6 Titan Containers scattered throughout Arkham City. All of them are located on your map, with 1 of them being right inside the Steel Mill's back entrance. After destroying all 6, go back to where you started for a final confrontation and the Trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/22.jpg Ring Ring (B)

Answer a ringing phone

 

See Dial Z for Murder for more details.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/23.jpg Dial Z for Murder (S)

Stop the phone booth killer

 

This Side Mission involves a few things. First, you must answer a ringing phone to start it and get Ring Ring. You are then given 12 phone locations. Phones ring randomly, but never ring again after they are picked up. When you pick one up you must race to phone icon highlighted on your map. Doing so will allow you to hear part of the killer’s story, but at the same time you must move :ls: to follow the dotted circle to trace it. It takes at least 8 calls to find out and enter his hideout. After finding the location, go and take him down. This requires the Freeze Mine Upgrade or Line Launcher to complete.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/24.jpg Stop the clock (B)

Time is running out

 

This is earned by finishing the Mission “The Tea Party.” It should be listed on your map as "Cure Drop-Off Point."

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/25.jpg Bargaining Chip (B)

Reunite the separated couple

 

[spoiler=knock]After defeating Mr. Freeze, you will be asked to save his wife, who is located somewhere in the Industrial District. The house you are looking for will have a Thug answer the door and lock it. In order to get in, you need to find a breakable wall on the water. You can reach it by using a Freeze Mine and pulling yourself over to it via Batclaw. After infiltrating the building, defeat the thugs and unlock the door to the outside. Report back to Freeze for the Trophy. You should also come back here for a Riddle as well.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/26.jpg AR Knight (S)

Complete all augmented reality training exercises

 

There are 8 of these, all of which involve the Glide mechanic. By completing the first 4 you unlock the Grapnel Boost. After that, you have 4 more advanced challenges that involve Dive Bombing, turning and maneuvering in tight cooridors, which requires precise gliding. My advice is to just let go of :r2: early instead of pulling back on :ls: at the same time since you’re likely to overcompensate and hit something, causing you to fail automatically, forcing you to restart.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/27.jpg Fully Loaded (B)

Collect all of Batman's gadgets and upgrades

 

All you have to do is buy and upgrade all of Batman’s Batsuit abilities, gadgets, combat abilities, Predator upgrades and Story Related Items to get this Trophy. So at the earliest you get this Trophy before entering the final portion of the game. You do not need to buy Catwoman’s upgrades in order to get this.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/28.jpg Aggravated Assault (B)

Stop all assaults in Arkham City

 

There are 16 of these that happen in the world at random times and occur whenever you are near them. They’re indicated by pentagon shaped outlines on your map. A good way to find them locally is to use Detective Mode :l2: and look for 2 blue figures that are close to one another. This will speed up the process. Otherwise, you should hear these on Local Surveillance or see a small flashing icon on your map if you are close to one. Save all 16 Political Prisoners for the Trophy.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/29.jpg IQ Test (B)

Solve the first riddle

 

There are 400 Riddles for Batman to Solve in Arkham City (in addition to 40 for Catwoman), whether it involves Collecting Trophies, lining up symbols or looking at various nostalgic Batman set pieces. The more you solve, the more Hostages you can attempt to save. See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues, or read each individual trophy for a written walkthrough.

 

Games Radar has a guide for all of these which is extremely useful since it breaks down everything by type and has a map to accompany it. But before you can get the location of these in-game, you must start here:

 

[spoiler=movie]Go to the Church after going through the Steel, and solve a Riddle inside. Afterwards, you’ll go to the Courthouse and rescue a hostage. There, you'll get a device that will allow you uncover the location of the next hostage. Take note that these opportunities come up after solving a certain number of Riddles, except for the first one which you have the chance to save right away.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/30.jpg Conundrum (B)

Rescue the first hostage from Riddler

 

Go to the building on your map that’s marked with a “?” and break down the wall.

 

[spoiler=secret]See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues if you don't want to read this.

 

Once inside, turn around and hit a question mark above where you came in to enter the next room. Start by throwing a Batarang at the Question Mark that's across the room, then run to the last non-green tile. Then throw another Batarang at one Mark to your right, and continue running when more tiles turn off. Throw another Batarang at the first Mark you threw at, and go to the end. Finally, hit the Mark to your left while facing the door you came in. Ride the elevator to the top, then glide to the Hostage for the rescue.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/31.jpg Mastermind (B)

Rescue the second hostage from Riddler

 

This one unlocks once you’ve solved 80 Riddles.

 

[spoiler=shadow]See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues if you don't want to read this.

 

Just use Detective Mode and use a Batarang on the Question Mark he appears above. Glide over and rescue him afterwards for the Trophy.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/32.jpg Puzzler (B)

Rescue the third hostage from Riddler

 

This one unlocks once you’ve solved 160 Riddles.

 

[spoiler=mirror]See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues if you don't want to read this.

 

For this one you need to have the Freeze Blast and Batclaw (Or Line Launcher) to get across to the other side. Use the REC to move the boxes above so water isn’t in the way of the switches so you can hit them with Remote Batarangs. Then use the Line Launcher twice to get into the next room where you’ll have to maneuver a box with the REC and electrical switches onto a panel. After setting the block on the panel, rescue the hostage for the Trophy.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/33.jpg Intellectual (B)

Rescue the fourth hostage from Riddler

 

This one unlocks once you’ve solved 240 Riddles.

 

[spoiler=penny]See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues if you don't want to read this.

 

After you enter the first door, use your Sequencer on the switch behind you to your left. Once doing so, go across the panels while avoiding the rotating spikes. At the end, throw a Batarang to hit the Question Mark on your Right and head over there while avoiding the Spikes. After that, head across the bridge, and use the Line Launcher to get to the nearby room. From here, blow up a wall to your left, anduse the REC to bring the box closer to you, then use the Remote Batarang to hit the question mark switch on the opposite side. From here, use the Line Launcher twice to get the hostage, the trophy, and the next location.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/34.jpg Brainteaser (S)

Rescue the fifth hostage from Riddler

 

This one unlocks once you’ve solved 320 Riddles.

 

[spoiler=crossword]See Genius for video guides of all 6 hostage rescues if you don't want to read this.

 

Slide under bars to your right and use the REC on the Switch above. Slide under another set of bars, race to the other side and slide under more bars before you’re crushed. Next, stand on the Red Panels to activate a game where you have to hit Question Marks with your Batarang a few times. Next use the REC behind you to push some boxes forward so you can throw Remote Batarangs above the gate in your way to hit Marks. Proceed to jump over the gap and climb up to the next puzzle. Use your Line Launcher twice to get to a place where you can use your Sequencer, then Line Launch out and to the right. Here, use your REC to push the boxes to the floor, then grapple up to the highest ledge. Use your REC again to push the boxes beneath you so you can proceed to the final part. Here you'll need to Line Launch 3 times without hitting the ground to save the hostage and get the Trophy.

 

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/35.jpg Genius (S)

Rescue all the hostages from Riddler

 

This one unlocks once you’ve solved 400 Riddles.

 

[spoiler=brilliant]Once you get to the location of it, dive bomb from the top of the pillar to underneath the bridge over an electrical fence. The entrance is on your left. Once inside, grapple up to the ledge to find an open Grate and go through it. Here, you have to pass through 4 sets of guards wearing helmets that if you get in their way or stand in their green light you fail. Just follow the tracks until you can takedown Riddler with :triangle: and get the Trophy.

Here is a link to PowerPyx's Challenge Guide which gives details on how to get 3 Medals for every Ranked Challenge.

 

For the Combat Challenges, I recommend trying to get a 5x Combo as quickly as possible, mostly by :square: and then :cross: over and an enemy until you get it. After that, press :cross: + :square: for the Bat Swarm combo. What this does it increases your combo by 2-4 hits, and stuns everyone in the vicinity. This way, you don’t really have to worry about getting hit for almost every Challenge since you’ll have more than enough points by the end of Rounds 2 or 3.

 

For Predator Challenges, patience and luck are essential. While some may want to get a fast time for rankings, they aren’t required for getting all 3 Medals.

See Campaign Gold for more details.

See Campaign Gold for more details.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/41.jpg Campaign Gold (S)

Obtain 108 medals on the original Arkham City ranked maps (as Batman)

 

Here is a link to PowerPyx's Challenge Guide for help on all the Challenges.

 

What’s different for Campaign Challenges is that you are given a 3 room combo where you have to get 3 Medals on each room consecutively for all 9 Medals for each Campaign. You can restart a total of 3 times throughout the Campaign as well; keep in mind that failing on the first Map does not count against your Retry total. Each Campaign also has Modifiers that you must use throughout the Campaign, so you must choose wisely. There are 12 in all for 108 Medals.

 

Here is the post I made in PowerPyx's Challenge Guide in regards to Campaign Modifiers, and which ones I used and why:

Here's my Guide for Campaign Modifiers if anyone wants to give them a shot. Keep in mind that these are coming from the perspective of a Combat Challenge Expert, so more often than not the Negatives were taken in those because they did very, very little to impede my Progress.

 

Search and Destroy

Meltdown Mayhem - None

Blind Justice - Time Limit, Protective Aura

Police Brutality - Replenishing Health

 

Street Justice

Rooftop Rumble - One Hand Tied

Natural Selection - Decreased Health, Takedown Projectiles

Survival of the Fittest - None

 

Offensive Manuevers

Funhouse Brawl - Danger Zones, Replenishing Health

End of the Line - Free Medal

Meltdown Mayhem (Extreme) - None

 

Hostile Takeover

Prison Riot (Extreme) - Time Limit, Decreased Health, Super Powered

Police Brutality (Extreme) - None

Double Jeopardy

Lost City (Extreme) - Scattered Weapons

Rooftop Rumble (Extreme) - Increased Aggression, Protective Aura, Gadget Malfunction

End of the Line (Extreme) - Takedown Projectiles, Free Medal

* - I use the Free Medal on End of the Line (Extreme) since restarting on Lost City doesn't cost a Retry since it's the first map

 

Ruthless Vengeance

Survival of the Fittest (Extreme) - Time Limit, Decreased Health, Gadget Malfunction

Top of the World (Extreme) - Super Powered

Blind Justice (Extreme) - One Hand Tied, Danger Zones

 

Combat Expert

Survival of the Fittest - Time Limit, Danger Zones

Funhouse Brawl - Increased Aggression, Replenishing Health

Prison Riot - None

 

Predator Expert

Meltdown Mayhem - Gadget Malfunction, Scattered Weapons

Lost City - One Hand Tied

Top of the World - Takedown Projectiles

* - You don't need to do any Silent Takdowns for Lost City

 

Combat Master

Blind Justice (Extreme) - Decreased Health, Gadget Malfunction

Rooftop Rumble (Extreme) - Scattered Weapons, Protective Aura, Super Powered

Hell's Gate (Extreme) - One Hand Tied

* - Protective Aura and Super Powered sort of cancel each other out in the sense that one's annoying while the other makes it a lot easier

 

Predator Master

Police Brutality - Time Limit, Scattered Weapons

Natural Selection - Increased Aggression, Protective Aura

End of the Line - Danger Zones, Free Medal

* - Scattered Weapons actually helps out in Police Brutality. For End of the Line, go to the Sniper spot at the other end and camp.

 

General Tips

- Danger Zones are rarely ever a problem in Combat Challenges if you are aware enemies have them.

- Scattered Weapons are like Danger Zones, but instead try and stay away from them in Combat. In Predators, they shouldn't be an issue if your strategies are good since you'll never come close to them.

- Increased Aggression is not actually a deterrent in Combat Challenges since it almost always results in you getting more points.

- Free Medal should always be used on a Predator Challenge that you feel most uncomfortable about

- Protective Aura is probably the most annoying Modifier in the game since it's immune to everything

- Decreased Health should be used on Maps with very low probabilities of being hit (For Predator Maps, 1 hit = death)

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/42.jpg Flawless Freeflow Fighter 2.0 (B)

Complete one combat challenge without taking damage (any character)

 

Thanks to Maldron for this tip: Go to Riddler's Revenge, then Custom Custom Challenges, select any map (preferably the first one) and add the "Takedown Projectiles" Modifier, which knocks out enemies with a single quickfire Batarang :l1: Spam it for 4 rounds, perhaps with some light evading :cross: and the Trophy will be yours.

 

Here's a video from Wozamil using this method:

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/43.jpg Twice Nightly (S)

Complete New Game Plus

 

New Game Plus is unlocked when you beat the game on Normal or Hard. The difficulty here is set to Extreme. Riddles and Upgrades carry over, while Side Missions don't, so you can do those again. In addition to this, you don’t see any Counter symbols above enemies’ heads when they attack, so make sure you know your timing or simple evade/redirect them.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/44.jpg Gotham Base Jumper (B)

Jump off the tallest building in Arkham City and glide for 1 minute without touching the ground.

 

This video is brought to you by PowerPyx

 

You have to jump from the Tower portion of the Wonder Tower. Jumping from the Observation Deck will always result in Batman firing his Batclaw to save himself at some point. Make sure to jump out and U-turn when appropriate since Batman will automatically turn around when hitting the edge of the Restricted Area on the Map.

A moment of remembrance

 

Glitched. You get this Trophy by hitting :cross: above the rose next to the chalked outline of 2 dead bodies. Once you do that, do not do anything until the Trophy pops or the music stops playing. If it doesn't pop the first time, try it again or use a different file since it doesn't count towards Perfect Knight - Day 2.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/46.jpg Storyteller (B)

Have 12 murderous dates with Calendar Man

 

GLITCHED.

 

You have to visit Calendar Man in his cell below the Courthouse on 12 different holidays and next to his cell is a calendar with the 12 circled dates you have to visit him on to get this Trophy but do note that the dates correlate with your PS3's internal clock settings. Thanks to Manifest Density Pt. 2 who figured out that you can switch the date on your PS3 in order to get this Trophy quickly.

 

2017 Dates :

  • January 1 - New Year's
  • February 14 - Valentine's Day
  • March 17 - St. Patrick's Day
  • April 1 - April Fool's Day
  • May 14 - Mother's Day
  • June 18 - Father's Day
  • July 4 - Fourth of July
  • August 16 - St. Roch's Day
  • September 4 - Labor Day
  • October 31 - Halloween
  • November 23 - Thanksgiving
  • December 25 - Christmas

 

CAUTION: Make sure to backup your Saves before trying this as there is a good chance that using the clock changing exploit will corrupt them.

 

NOTE: This Trophy is date dependent so some of the dates change from year to year. Also make sure you leave the Courthouse after each visit so your game saves.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/47.jpg Catch (B)

Find someone to play remote Batarang catch with

 

Missable. After leaving the Courthouse at the beginning of the game, pull out your Remote Batarang and throw it to a person standing on top of the roof to your right to get this Trophy. This is also your chance to start the Side Mission that will get you the Mystery Stalker Trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/48.jpg 50x Combo (B)

Complete a combo of 50 moves (any play mode, any character)

 

This helpful video comes from PowerPyx:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6fUF9jAZZE]Batman: Arkham City - 50x Combo Trophy / Achievement Guide - YouTube[/ame]

 

This was done on the second Combat Challenge, Survival of the Fittest, and is done in Round 3. This is very simple: Use :square: once, jump over a guy, repeat. Use Bat Swarm :square: + :cross: if necessary.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/49.jpg Perfect Freeflow 2.0 (B)

Perform a perfect combo including all of Batman's combat moves (any play mode)

13 - Any 1 Gadget*

 

* - It's unclear if a specific gadget adds to the combo or not, as there have been multiple reports about what does and doesn't add to the variation bonus.

 

Get all Combat Upgrades before attempting this Trophy. Moves 5-8 can only be done if you have done 5 or 8 hits in a row and your Combo Meter is flashing Yellow. Survival of the Fittest Round 4 or the Joker’s Carnival DLC Map is preferred as well.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/50.jpg Gadget Attack (B)

:l1: + :circle: REC

All 5 must hit an opponent in order to count. They do not need to be in the same combo.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/398/51.jpg Perfect Knight 2.0 (G)

Complete every challenge in Arkham City - Main Story, Side Missions, Upgrades, Collectibles, New Game Plus and Riddler's Revenge (as Batman)

I've been told by various people across both platforms that this is unfortunately the case since Side Missions on the Stats page don't carry over unlike Riddles. If I'm wrong I'll be more than happy to change it since it'll reduce the gameplay time by a few hours.

 

Wow if that's true, that's super lame. The side missions were fine the first time through but having to do them twice? Saving the political prisoners again will be annoying.

One tiny thing I noticed. In the Perfect Freeflow 2.0 You list Evade/Jump - :cross: First, it's :cross::cross: and second, it's Evade and Redirect and they're counted as two separate moves from what I've read elsewhere. One is jumping over an enemies head, the other is dodging away from an enemy, and I believe it's required that you do both. I know I did both when I finally got the trophy, and in the video he does both as well.

 

Also, as far as side quests and NG+ I just finished my NG+ having only done one side quest (All side quests done in original playthrough, all challenges and campaigns finished, all 400 Riddler trophies collected) and no Perfect Knight 2.0 trophy. So I'm gonna go ahead and confirm, side quests needed. :)

i think it would be better to list the Storyteller dates i guess you can use that spoiler box to put the dates in

 

also, what about the dlc trophies are you going to make a new thread for that?

 

Like I said, the dates change depending on what year it is. If you're asking for Holidays, I can do that, but it won't make a difference to what dates people have to turn it to.

 

ReverendSID, I'll go ahead and make that change.

You're welcome. I started it about a week before it came out with basic guesswork for most, but over time it became more concise and accurate.

 

I hope the final 8 Campaign Challenges were as nice as the first 4. I just finished the last 6 Predator Challenges and I must say they're...bad. Yeah, that's a great word to describe them.
