Batman: Arkham City Cheats

To use alternate skins in the main game, download the free Batman Inc. skin, choose your save slot and enter the following code:

Note: The alternate ending requires the bonus "Catwoman" downloadable content. In Catwoman's third mission, when you have the option to go left or right with the "loot", go right to view the alternate ending. You will still be able to go backwards and not ruin anything in the main campaign.

Use Batman's Cryptographic Sequencer to go to the following coordinates to intercept secret radio broadcasts that read numbers, make a buzzing sound, and then repeat the numbers again. When the numbers are matched to the corresponding letters of the alphabet, they spell out a hidden message.Note: Some of the secret broadcasts may not be available until after completing the main campaign.

In the Warden's Office, head back to the room with the Warden's portrait on the far wall. Turn left as soon as you enter the doorway and approach the wooden wall. You can destroy this with Explosive Gel. It may take a bit of trial and error, but one panel can be blown away. Beyond this is an unmarked room with a blueprint on the wall. It shows plans for the relocation or expansion of Arkham to Gotham City. This is a nod to the setting of Batman: Arkham City.

Note: Alter game files at your own risk and ALWAYS make backups!

You can select where to start the game, by opening the "BmGame.ini" file in the game folder (DocumentsEidosBatman Arkham AsylumBmGameConfig) folder and changing the following line:

DebugLevelStarts=(Name="F E_NewGame", LevelNames="start batentry?Area=Max,Max_C0, Max_C0_Audio,Max_C0_CLigh ts,Max_C0_FX,Max_C0_Light s,Max_C0_Static,Max_A1,Ma x_A1_Audio,Max_A1_CH1,Max _A1_CLights,Max_A1_Fx,Max _A1_Lights,Max_A1_Static, Max_IntroParty,Max_IntroA udio?Flags=Chapter1_Start ,gamestart,Batman_Abiliti esScreenDisabled,Batman_E nvAnalysisDisabled,Batman _RiddlesDisabled,Batman_R iddlerChallengesDisabled? Start=BeginGame?Movie=101 _Batmobile_Intro?StreamMo vie")

This controls the game behavior, once you selct "new game".

Mark the line with a semicolon ( ; ), so the game will skip it during loading and add the following line directly underneath it:

DebugLevelStarts=(Name="F E_NewGame", LevelNames="start batentry?Area=Overworld,O verworld_A1,Overworld_A1_ Audio,Overworld_A1_CLight s,Overworld_A1_FX,Overwor ld_A1_Lights,Overworld_A1 _Static,Overworld_A1_Tunn el")

Using the above method you will only get an empty area. If you want to jump into the action, you have to use flags at the end of the line.

Example:

DebugLevelStarts=(Name="F E_NewGame", LevelNames="start batentry?Area=Overworld,O verworld_A1,Overworld_A1_ Audio,Overworld_A1_CLight s,Overworld_A1_FX,Overwor ld_A1_Lights,Overworld_A1 _Static,Overworld_A1_Tunn el?Flags=Chapter2_Start,U nlocked_Health1,Unlocked_ Health2,Unlocked_Health3, Unlocked_Health4")

(Note that the ?Flags= are listed after the various filenames of the selected level, but before the closing quotation marks.)

Here are some working flags:

Chapter[Add 1-7 here]_Start - necessary to get enemy spawns (The tutorial is Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is Arkham Island, etc.)

Unlocked_Health1 - Health upgrade 1 (log into WayneTech once)

Unlocked_Health2 - Health upgrade 2 (log into WayneTech once)

Unlocked_Health3 - Health upgrade 3 (log into WayneTech once)

To access this secret room, you must have the upgraded Cryptographic Sequencer with the "TYGER" codes installed. Just north of the Industrial District in the Harbord, glide onto the Falcone boat west of the two cranes hanging over the water -- where you do the first set of Augmented Reality challenges. Use the Cryptographic Sequencer to hack the door on the boat. Enter "
