Welcome to the curtain call of Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy. It's one year after the massive events of Arkham City. Scarecrow has managed to unite all of the major villains in a plot against both Gotham and Batman, and introduces a new foe, the titular Arkham Knight. However, Batman is not alone, teaming up with Nightwing, Robin and more to create the biggest cast yet. Finally, for the first time ever in the Arkham games, you'll be able to use the Batmobile.
There are a lot of trophies, but you'll get most just from the story and side missions, and the rest are for misc actions and for completing AR challenges. You may be pleased to hear that there is no challenge mode- while a few combat and predator challenges appear in the AR section, they are nowhere near as many or as hard, so the plat will be a lot easier than the predecessors. There are a lot of side missions however alongside a decently lengthen story which will take up a lot of time, especially the Riddler challenges and trophies. Overall, if you platted any of the previous games, you should have very little trouble adding this plat to your collection.
The game is mostly stable, but as mentioned in the overview, there is one glitched trophy. If it glitches, the only thing you can do is do them all again, but this isn't too much trouble as you won't need to start a new game or anything. You also don't have to worry too much about backing up your saves, as the game does this for you (hold on the save list to see back ups), so if you get a rare bug, you will be fairly safe. In all of my playthroughs, I've had just one bug, but quitting and reloading fixed it for me. A bug that has popped up a lot is getting a 'secure area to continue' message when there are no enemies to be found. There is no real fix yet except for going around doing other stuff and checking back later. If this prevents you from obtaining a Riddler trophy, you may need to obtain it in NG+ then return to normal mode to complete the associated side quest (if back-ups don't fix the issue).
Note: Unlike most other PS4 games, trophies in Arkham Knight take a while to pop as opposed to instantly. If you don't receive a trophy straight away, don't worry as it should come soon.

Step 1: Complete the Main Story Missions
First off, just play through the story on normal. You can play on easy and still unlock NG+, but it's best to start on normal so you're not too unprepared for it. If you want, you can do side missions whenever you unlock them or can, but this is not required as they are available at any time. The game isn't that hard on normal, although the combat and predator scenarios may require some getting used to for new players, and the Batmobile battles can be a little annoying, especially before you've gotten used to it. Focus your upgrades on the ones relating to combat, the Batmobile and the suit, especially health upgrades, as these will help the most in the later stages of the game and New Story+. Also, make sure to upgrade disrupt mines for the Riddler trophies later. The puzzles within the story aren't bad either. In short, just relax and have fun playing the story.
Upon completing Step 1, you will earn:
A Battle Within
A Heart Broken in Two
As the Crow Flies
Be Not Afraid
Brotherhood of the Fist
Dark Wings Fly Away in Fear
Fear of Success
Living Hell
Master of Fear
Strange Deadfellows
Who Rules The Night
The Frequency of Fear
City of Fear
Trail of Fear
No Man's Land
Fear of Faith
Journey into Knight
Judgment Day
Creature of the Night
With a Vengeance!
Step 2: Complete the Most Wanted Side Missions, Complete The Riddler's Challenges
After you have finished the story, you will be able to free roam. Now is the time to complete all of the Most Wanted side missions, of which there are 14 in total. You'll get intel for some locations, while others you will need to find yourself. See the guide for tips and maps on finding these. You should save at least the Riddler trophies for last (the trials are pretty quick and net you quite a few trophies), as it will require a lot of time and work. When you have completed all of the side missions, activate the additional ending. You'll also be able to do this at 7 side missions complete but this will not yield the full ending (although you can still do it early, you'll again return to free roam).
Upon completing Step 2, you will earn:
Angel in the Dark
Dark Allegiances
Days of Fire
Double Jeopardy
The Riddle Factory
Knightfall
The Cult
Riddle Me That
Scar of the Bat
Touch of Death
Streets of Gotham
The Road Home
Jekyll & Hyde
Death of Innocents
The Road to Hell
The Monster Machine
The Primal Riddle
The Burning Question
The Cat and the Bat
Riddler on the Rampage
Lethal Pursuits
Pieces of the Puzzle
Nine Lives
Gates of Gotham
Gotham Underground
Death by Design
Cold World
Step 3: AR Challenges and Misc trophies
Next you should tackle the AR challenges. Some you may need to unlock by doing certain actions, but you should have done most already. Some of them are a bit out of your way to unlock, but they are easy to unlock once you know what to do. Also it's worth noting that if you have the Scarecrow Nightmare DLC (you should get a code with all new PS4 copies), these also count towards the 69 stars so you can skip any you struggle with. Also take this opportunity to clean up any misc trophies mentioned below so you don't have to worry about them in New Game Plus.
Upon completing Step 3, you will earn:
A Leap of Faith
Absolution
Blunt Trauma
Brutality 101
Choice of Weapons
Cycle of Violence
Death and Glory
Dirty Tricks
Fortunate Son
Gotham After Midnight
Point of Impact
Run Through the Jungle
Savage Metal
Seduction of the Gun
Sins of Youth
The Real Deal
Step 4: New Game +
Finally, go into New Game+. This is set on Knightmare difficulty, where the enemies are extremely tough and you don't see counter icons. This is the hardest part of the game, but since you have an upgraded Batman, it isn't so bad. For more tips, see the guide.
Congrats on your plat!
Upon completing Step 4, you will earn:
The Long Halloween
I AM the Batman!

A Matter of Family DLC:
Overview:
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10
- Offline trophies: 8 (6
, 2
)
- Online trophies: None
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 1-3 hours
- Minimum number of playthroughs: 1
- Number of missable trophies: 2: Weird War Tales and Ambush.
- Glitched trophies: None known
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No
- Do trophies stack?: N/A
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: None
Introduction
‘A Matter of Family’ is the first story driven DLC (excluding pre-order bonuses), where you take on the role of Barbara Gordon/Oracle as Batgirl, long before the events of the trilogy. Commissioner Gordon, Batgirl’s father, has been kidnapped by The Joker and has been held in Seagate amusement park, and it is up to you with the help of Robin to save him.
This is a very short and very easy DLC. Batgirl plays like an unupgraded Batman with fewer gadgets, so controlling her shouldn’t be too unfamiliar. The two missable trophies are both combat related. This is dwelled upon more in the first step of the walkthrough.
Walkthrough
Step 1- Play through the Story
First off, just play through the story. It’s very short, so it won’t take you long. The structure is Opening Section-Hostages-Bomb-Hostages-Bomb-Hostages-Closing Section. The only things to look out for are both combat related, ‘Ambush’ and ‘Weird War Tales’. For Weird War Tales, make sure to use hacking objects to your advantage whenever possible. When you get inside the Ghost Ship, check the descriptions below for these trophies for details on how to get Ambush and to finish off Weird War Tales (if you haven’t already). If you don't get these, it can be highly problematic, and you may need to start over.
Step 2- Audio Logs and Collectibles
Finally, as you'll be placed in free-roam, get all of the audio logs and collectibles (teeth, balloons, jack-in-the-boxes). This shouldn’t take too long to do either, especially following the video guides inside by PowerPyx. Once you’ve done these, you should have your 100%!

Arkham Episodes:
Overview:
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10 (personal opinion)
- Offline trophies: 5 (5
) (One for each DLC)
- Online trophies: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 3.5-8 hours (Skill Dependent)
- Minimum number of playthroughs: 49 AR challenges (not necessarily different)
- Number of missable trophies: None.
- Glitched trophies: None.
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No.
- Do trophies stack?: No.
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats available.
Introduction:
Throughout the DLC content for Arkham Knight, there have been numerous short DLC story packs called 'Arkham Episodes', where you can play as other characters such as Red Hood, Robin and Catwoman. There are 5 of these in total and they take around 20-30 minutes each to complete. You may have got a code for Red Hood or Harley Quinn with your copy if you bought it on Day 1 but if not, then they are available with the Season Pass or as a separate purchase. The other 3 are also available with the Season Pass or separately. All 5 trophies are just for completing the pack so you can just enjoy the pack and get the respective trophy at the end. Note that although 'A Matter of Family' is included under the Arkham Episodes section of the menu, it will not be covered here as it is longer and has more trophies.
Walkthrough:
Step 1: Play through Harley Quinn and Red Hood.
You should first do the Harley Quinn and Red Hood packs, as these are set before the main game and thus won't contain any spoilers. It is also not essential to play these before the main game if you wish to wait, as you do not need knowledge of what happens in these to play the main game. They shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes each.
Step 2: After 100% in the main game, play through the rest.
The other 3 packs all take place after the events of the main game so it is highly recommended to save them until you have 100% in the story or at the very least after completion of the story to avoid spoilers. Again, they shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes each to finish.

Batmobile Challenges:

- Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10 (Personal Opinion)
- Offline trophies: 6 (6
)
- Online trophies: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 1-2hrs each
- Minimum number of playthroughs: 50 different AR challenges.
- Number of missable trophies: None.
- Glitched trophies: No.
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No.
- Do trophies stack?: No.
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats available.

Part of the DLC content for Batman: Arkham Knight has been new Batmobile skins, race tracks and accompanying AR Challenges. Scarecrow's Nightmare is combat and driving challenges (which was free with certain PS4 copies) and the following 5 are all skins based on famous Batmobiles, with some cool racetracks to go along with them. On your way to the 100%, you'll be racing a lot with a minimum 50 challenges for all of these trophies but given you only need 11 for each Batmobile with up to 23 available, these trophies are fairly easy.
Step 1- Scarecrow's Nightmare
Since the Scarecrow's Nightmare missions are different to the other Batmobile based DLC trophies, I'll put them in a step by themselves. See the guide for more help, this step shouldn't take more than half an hour.
Step 2- Races
The rest of the trophies are to do with races. Tackle the vehicles once at a time, as there are subtle differences in each Batmobile. See the Guide for more tips.
If you forgot the controls, it's to accelerate,
to reverse,
to change Riddler traps and
to use the afterburner.

Hero/Rogue Challenges:
Overview:
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10 (personal opinion)
- Offline trophies: 7 (7
)
- Online trophies: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 3.5-8 hours (Skill Dependent)
- Minimum number of playthroughs: 49 AR challenges (not necessarily different)
- Number of missable trophies: None.
- Glitched trophies: None.
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No.
- Do trophies stack?: No.
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: No cheats available.
Introduction:
With the 1.11 patch came several new trophies, awarded for getting 21 stars in AR challenges with each of the characters (except Batman). They are split into 2 different DLC sections, "Hero" and "Rogue". Note: To get 100% in this DLC, you need to purchase the "A Matter of Family", "Harley Quinn Story Pack" and the "Red Hood Story Pack" (free with the Season Pass) to unlock Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Red Hood. You can get the 4 other trophies without extra purchases, although extra purchases will make it easier (also included in the Season Pass) as detailed below.
Walkthrough:
Step 1- 21 Stars with each character.
Simple as that, get 21 stars in AR challenges with each character in this pack. You will need to have access to the Matter of Family DLC to play as Batgirl, plus the Harley Quinn and Red Hood story packs to unlock their respective challenges. There are exactly 21 stars available without the Crime Fighter Pack DLCs and 39 if you add the ones from last 3 mini-story packs but if you have them, with the Season Pass or otherwise, it gives you up to 87 stars to choose from for each character which is helpful if you struggle with the base challenges or simply to spice it up a bit since you need to do them 7 times total.

Season of Infamy DLC:
Roadmap
Overview:
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10 (Personal opinion)
- Offline trophies: 12 (11
, 1
)
- Online trophies: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 2-4 hours
- Minimum number of playthroughs: 1
- Number of missable trophies: None, all are story related.
- Glitched trophies: None known
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: No
- Do trophies stack?: N/A
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: None known
Introduction
Season of Infamy is the final major DLC pack for Batman: Arkham Knight, bringing 4 new Most Wanted side missions into free roam, featuring Mr. Freeze, Ra's Al Ghul, Killer Croc and Mad Hatter who you need to apprehend. The DLC is simple and quite short, with each mission taking 30-45 minutes to complete. The missions are enjoyable however and you may enjoy meeting these villains once more, plus using Batman's wide range of gadgets for a final time before Rocksteady hangs up the famous cowl for good.
Step 1- Complete each mission in any order
While the guide will assume you do the missions in the order they appear in the trophies while seguing from one mission's trophies to the next, there is no set order to completing these missions. If I were to suggest a change in the order you do them, I'd save the Mr. Freeze one until last for reasons you will understand once you have done it. None of the trophies are missable so enjoy! If you get stuck, then there is a fairly detailed walkthrough of what to do in the Guide itself.

Community Challenge Pack DLC
Overview:
- Estimated trophy difficulty: 8/10 (Personal Estimate)
- Offline trophies: 7 (2
, 5
)
- Online trophies: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 100%: 5-15 hours (Highly skill-dependent)
- Minimum number of playthroughs: Multiple on each challenge map
- Number of missable trophies: 0
- Glitched trophies: 0
- Does difficulty affect trophies?: N/A - it’s a preset difficulty
- Do cheat codes disable trophies?: N/A
Introduction
Welcome to the final DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight! The community challenge pack is a free download for everyone, and it features 7 AR challenge maps that were chosen by members of the official Arkham Knight forum, ranging from all the different Batman Arkham games for PS3.
There are 4 predator maps, and 3 combat maps in this pack. However, the trophy requirements are not for getting 3 stars on every map. This time, the trophy requirements have been changed to make them quite difficult. For instance, some maps you have to do a perfect combo, or take no damage, or even get over 1,000,000 points to get trophies! This makes for a very hard set of trophies to unlock, but just keep at it and eventually you’ll do it!
My advice would be to do all the combat trophies in a row, since it will help you prepare for the hardest of the trophies. You can do the predator ones at any time since they are not as tough as the combat ones.
Walkthrough
(Note that you can switch steps 1 and 2 if you want to.)
Step 1: Predator challenges
Play through the 4 predator maps, doing the trophy requirements in each. I recommend doing them in the same order as the trophy list orders them:
Wayne Manor
Batcave
Silent Knight
Endless Knight
You will need to play through the Batcave and Silent Knight twice, once for both Batman and Nightwing/Robin respectively.
Trophies unlocked:
What the Butler Saw
Secrets of the Batcave
Silent Knight, Deadly Knight
Eternal
Step 2: Combat challenges.
The hardest part of the DLC! Play through the 3 combat maps following the trophy requirements:
Crime Alley
Monarch Theatre
Iceberg Lounge
You need to play through Crime Alley 3 times (Batman, Robin, Nightwing), and Monarch Theatre 4 times (Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman).
You can play the Iceberg Lounge map first or last, but definitely play Crime Alley before Monarch Theatre as it will help you practice for the hardest trophy.
Trophies unlocked:
The Chill in the Air
The Curtain Falls
Requiem for a Killer
Good luck!!
