================================================================================
Intensive Treatment
================================================================================
The introductory cinematic to Arkham Asylum (including the walk through the
initial sections of the facility has some cool moments. Without revealing too
much look for Croc and for the lights to go out on the elevator. Once Batman
relinquishes custody of Joker to the staff of the Asylum, the prisoner escapes
springing a trap we all knew was coming.
Holding Cells
At the holding cells Joker releases a few prisoners for Batman to practice his
combat with. Use the Square button to attack and the right stick to direct the
attacks at a particular enemy. Once the initial wave of three is unconscious,
learn to use the counter action (triangle) in conjuction with the attack. The
Joker is now running the Asylum and offers a cordial invitation to Batman.
Batman is nothing if not polite and gleefully accepts the invitation. Before
diving deeper into the Asylum, find the grate near the entrance to the holding
cells. Rip the cover off the vent and enter to find a Riddler Trophy.
Patient Pacification
Use the ramp the Joker escaped on to enter the next hall. The tutorial part of
the game will explain that running is accomplished by holding the X button.
Defeat the two thugs at the end and turn left. Talk to the guard Eddie Burlow,
then turnaround and move toward the troubled guards from the radio conversation.
Batman will converse with Oracle after which the next door leads to the
endangered guards. Zsasz has a guard contained with some serious voltage. Move
up the stairs to reach the top level of the Patient Pacification Chamber. Talk
to the guard at the top and activate Detective Mode. Batman can grapple up to
the gargoyles and move to the rear of the room. From a position behind Zsasz
glide down and strike. The initial hit will knock Zsasz down. Move to his fallen
body and knock him unconscious with a ground takedown.
Decontamination
To the right just by Zach Franklin is a vent that can be used to leave the room,
before doing so move to the front of the Patient Pacification Chamber and look
for a vent cover on the left wall to find a Riddler Trophy. Enter the vent and
grab the Riddler Trophy at the end. The guard that informed you of the trouble
with Zsasz should open the door leading to the Decontamination Room about the
same time Batman busts through the vent cover. The guards in the room are being
gassed. Look up and grapple through the hole in the ceiling. Rip off the vent
cover and enter. Upon exiting help the guard hanging off the edge of the
platform. Run toward the next platform and Batman will jump to it. A guard is
hanging from the ledge above, grapple up and rescue him. In the distance another
person is in trouble. Run off the edge of the platform and hold X to glide
below and rescue the stranded inmate. Throw a Batarang at the extractor control
point below to activate the fans and remove the gas from the room. If you do not
see the control point use the Detective Mode to find it. Once the gas is cleared
drop below and move toward the front of the room. Use the floor gate on the left
just before the blocked off room to get a Riddler Trophy. If you continue to the
front of the room all Batman finds is Eddie Burlow and a locked door. Return to
the location of the extractor control point and exit the Decontamination Room.
Secure Treatment Transfer
Follow the green arrows on the floor defeating two thugs along the way. At the
end of the path a cinematic reunites Batman and Joker. Joker though invites
someone else to ruin the reunion. This large enemy is difficult to defeat. His
attacks include a ground pound, standard punches, a charge attack, and ranged
attacks (picks up dead bodies and hurls them at Batman). The best offense is a
good defense. Use evade to dodge the attacks. After enough time has passed the
Jokers transformation of this thug proves to much and the beast expires. Watch
the cinematic. A guard has powered down the gates to the two rooms on either
side of the area. The room to the right has a Riddler Trophy. After getting the
trophy talk to the guard in the opposite room.
Tracking Boles
Exit through the door the guard reopens. Follow the signs back to the holding
cells (use the map if necessary). Along the way Batman will encounter a couple
of thugs standing over a guard. Quick tap L1 to throw a Batarang and knock one
of the enemies down. Rush over and attack both until unconscious. Enter the
room to the left and activate Detective Mode. The area enclosed in the yelow
line is the crime scene. Find the flask in the corner and investigate it.
Batman can follow traces of Boles whiskey to track down his location by keeping
Detective mode active. Follow the trail to Secure Transit (just outside the
goal you may here a phone ringing stick around to hear it answered). Once the
cinematic has the elevator crashing down move to the left and climb the stairs
to find a Patient Interview. Return to the broken elevator. The only path to
take is up.
Grapple up to a platform on the left side of the elevator shaft. Jump over to
the ledge and shimmy across to the opening. Move through the confined space and
break through the cover at the end. Grapple up twice more then jump across the
gap. During the movement up we learn that holding X during the grapple up allows
Batman to climb on to the platform in one motion. Climb over a few obstacles,
then duck under the steel beams. (After the first beam there is a path to the
left that currently has nothing an upgrade is needed before anything of use can
be obtained). Shimmy across the wall and grapple up the to the high platform.
Batman will then duck under another metal beam and enter a confined space. The
enemies are closer now and can be seen by using Detective Mode. Just ahead there
is a spider like symbol on the wall. Move to it and scan it to unlock a Message
(the Spirit of Arkham). Grapple up to the final platform and take out the
5 thugs at the top using melee combat/counters. The path to Boles is blocked by
a locked door. Break open the vent cover and follow it to Cell Block Transfer.
This is Batman's first encounter inside Arkham Asylum with armed enemies.
Rushing forward is ill advised to say the least. Grapple up to the gargoyle
above then swing over the enemies. Once behind them silently drop down. Crouch
to sneak up on the thugs then take them out silently (triangle when near). Climb
the stairs on the right in the next room. Joker is discussing Batman with a thug
at the top. Silently take out the enemy or listen to the conversation then take
him out. Use the vent at the base of the wall to continue.
Silently take out the first thug on the other side of the vent then enter
Detective Mode to scan the area. There are two armed inmates in the immediate
area. Grapple to the walkway ahead but do not cross over the barrier, instead
hang there and perform a ledge takedown to defeat the thug. Alternatively, if
the guard begins to move too fast Batman can use a silent take down by moving
onto the walkway as the guard moves into the adjacent room. Now grapple to
a gargoyle (or roof of the office) and take the final thug out with a glide kick
and ground take down. Now the Joker releases a few more armed foes to apprehend
Batman. Note the location of each enemy and take them out one by one. Batman
does not fair very well against multiple enemies with fire arms. Use silent
take downs and stealth to remove each threat. Once these three new enemies are
taken out investigate the top floor for a new Patient Interview. Batman finds a
"Dead End" ahead.
Upon completion of the Tracking Boles objective, the Riddler hacks into Batman's
communication system and offers a riddle: Don't cut yourself on this Sharply
observed portrait. There is a picture of Warden Sharp hanging on the wall on the
left if Batman heads away from Boles location. William North an Asylum guard
opens a door and calls for Batman. Walk by him and enter the Utility Corridor.
There is a door inside the locker room with a vent that will lead Batman to the
outside. Scan the Radio in the locker room for a Riddler Solution. Grapple up
to the ledge and witness an excellent view of the Asylum.
================================================================================
Batmobile
================================================================================
Investigate the area and talk to as many of the guards as you prefer, when ready
head by the Botanical Gardens toward the Intensive Treatment Facility, where the
Batmobile is located. Once through the door the first thing visible is an
ambulance. There are two armed thugs behind a gate on the other side of the
emergency vehicle. Grapple to the ledge above and drop behind them. Utilized two
silent take downs and move through the door. Near the Batmobile are 6 thugs
pounding on it. None of the enemies are armed so move forward and have some fun.
Once they are down obtain the explosive gel from the Batmobile and activate
Detective Mode for a clue as to where Quinn may have taken Gordon. Locate and
scan the Commissioner's pipe. He has left a trail in which to follow him. The
trail leads to Arkham West but the doors are locked.
================================================================================
Tracking Gordon
================================================================================
A new entrance to Arkham West can be made by using the explosive gel on the
wall to the right of the main entrance. Once in Arkham West use Detective Mode
to find Gordon's trail again. A duo of thugs are doing some carpentry work just
outside the entrance to the Visitor Center. Find the tobacco trail and follow it
down the ramp then up the stairs ahead. Six unarmed thugs are standing over a
dead guard. After teaching them some respect move into the Medical Facility.
================================================================================
Medical Facility
================================================================================
Harley sits inside but there is no way to move through the barrier. Exit and
grapple to the roof. There is a structural weakness in the wall on the eastern
side of the Medical Facility roof. Create an entrance using the explosive gel.
Enter the Medical Facility through the Maintenance Access. Climb over the
fencing and enter the vent on the right. This leads to a hall and another vent.
Batman should see/hear a thug taking one of the Asylum's doctors away. There
are 5 armed enemies in the Sanatorium. Two of the thugs patrol the area. Watch
their movements and single them out first. The other three are stationary and
should be easier to defeat. Grapple to the gargoyles and drop behind the weak
wall where one of the thugs is standing. Place Explosive Gel on the wall and
grapple back to the ceiling. Detonate the gel from the safety of a gargoyle and
watch the other two thugs exit the area in front of the Morgue. Defeat the final
two alerted thugs after they separate from investigating the explosion. When
the room clears move to the doctor near the Morgue's door. She mentions that
more doctors are in trouble.
Dr. Young
Move to the bottom floor of the Sanatorium and head toward the X-Ray room.
Batman will find three unarmed thugs outside the doors to the X-Ray room. Inside
their are five armed guards holding the doctor inside an interior room with no
available entrance. There are two structurally weak areas in the walls of the
room. One weakspot is at the front of the small room while the second is toward
the rear. Place explosive gel on each of the weak spots, detonate the gel, and
enter the room. Dr. Penny Young has been saved.
Dr. Kellerman
Exit the X-Ray room and head to the Patient Observation area. Just outside the
Observation room stands two thugs discussing Killer Croc. Once by them two more
enemies are standing at the end of the hall in the next room in front of a
window observing a guard. Take them out and talk to the guard, Aaron Cash. The
door is blocked. While standing in front of the door turnaround and look up.
Grapple to the air ducts across from the door to find a vent cover. Once through
the ventilation system move to the right and look below the vent just exited.
There is a control point that can be hit by a Batarang to activate one of the
fans. The second control point is located in the back left corner of the room.
It can be targeted by jumping from the initial platform to the ones on the left
wall until reaching a platform on the back wall. The last fan control is in the
small room in the rear right corner of the Observation area. Throw a Batarang at
the rope holding the thug above the room. He will crash through the roof
creating an opening to target the control point. Grab the interview tape inside
the room where Aaron Cash and the doctor were trapped. There is also a Riddle
solution inside the room with the last control point. Exit the Patient
Observation Room and move to the Surgery wing.
Dr. Adrian Chen
Inside the Surgery room notice the doctor strapped to the chair. Move to his
location only to be told it was a trap. Several unarmed thugs enter from above
defeat them all and release the doctor. Grapple to the balcony and solve a
riddle then exit the surgery room. When the package ahead opens a special
enemy appears. He must be stunned before attacks will work. Press circle to stun
him then take him down. Reenter the Sanatorium to unlock a short cinematic.
Morgue
Three armed thugs will enter from the Morgue. Take them out with precision.
Enter the elevator to the Morgue.
After the cinematic place some explosive gel on the wall to the left and enter
the new corridor. Follow it until Commissioner Gordon asks for help. Use the
vent to the left to find the Commissioner just outside the Morgue. Find and
enter the Morgue only to find it empty and a voice repeating "Get out of here".
Listen to the voice and exit to the Morgue. Thats right using the door to exit
puts you right back in the same room except this time there is no voice but
three new body bags are located on the tables in the center. Open each one (I
won't say what you find) and the room changes again. Leap across the gap and
move forward until the cinematic reveals a giant size Scarecrow. He is simply
spinning in the center scanning for Batman. Move around the outer path timing
your moves to avoid Scarecrow's beam. Crouch to stay hidden by partial walls.
Batman will arrive at a wall blocking his path. Quickly place explosive gel on
the wall and return to hiding. Detonate the gel and Scarecrow's attention is
immediately brought to the area. He will continue to look on both sides of the
wall to locate Batman. When he begins his move from the side where the wall was
to the left side of the screen move forward and jump the gap. Remain there until
Scarecrow continues to spin and scan. Climb up and jump to the steps. When safe
climb to the top of the steps and use the Bat Signal to end the nightmare. Back
in the Morgue scan the jar on the cart next to the sink for a riddle solution
then exit.
Finding the Commissioner
Follow the green arrows to the next door and defeat the three enemies (one of
which has to be stunned). The green arrows continue through a door that leads
to Gordon held captive by Harley. The new objective is to make it to and rescue
Gordon without being seen. Scan the teddy bear to solve a riddle then grab the
Secrets Map. Tear off the vent cover and enter opening. Exit the vent and
silently take out the guard. Enter the opening on the other side. Exit the
ventilation system again near the Riddler Trophy and take out a second guard.
The other two guards circle the area. Their pattern is easy to recognize. Get
to the depression in the center of the area and follow the guard that circles
this area and take him out. That leaves one (other than Harley) that should not
be a problem. Find the stairs under where Gordon and Harley are located and
climb them. When above Harley's position press triangle to perform a takedown
freeing Gordon. The following cinematic reveals Dr. Young was experimenting on
Bane.
Bane
Bane has a regular attack set. He will bull rush Batman, can toss large portions
of block, and has a radial ground pound. Do not try to attack Bane one on one
with hand to hand combat, Batman will fail miserablely. Instead use the Batarang
to quick target his head when he rushes and avoid his charge. Bane will become
dazed and crash into the wall reducing his health. When one-third of Bane's
health is depleted use melee attacks after Bane has hit the wall to initiate a
scene where Batman will jump on Bane's back and release one of the venom tubes.
Bane will then perform a ground pound radial attack so move away quickly. After
the first tube is broken Joker has some thugs join the battle. Defeat them while
keeping an eye on Bane to avoid his attacks. The boulder is very devastating.
The evade move works wonders for escaping damage. The thugs are a
secondary concern, be sure to avoid Bane. When appropriate defeat the thugs then
when its just Batman and Bane continue the Batarang pattern. The third tube
break is a charm. Batman can get some extra damage in when Bane is dazed but be
sure to attack him quickly (only when dazed) or he will recover and hit Batman
with a good amount of damage. A three hit combo then evade should be enough. If
Batman does not break the venom tubes quick enough Bane can regenerate some of
his health.
================================================================================
Batcave
================================================================================
A Bat Cave on the Asylum grounds, pure genius. Batman has a branch office of
his cave located at Dead Man's Point in Arkham North. Defeat any enemies found
on the way to the cave for some free experience points. Climb over the wall to
the left of Intensive Treatment and enter the tunnel. While moving to Dead
Man's Point Batman will find a Chronicle of Arkham and a Riddler Trophy. After
the cinematic in which Batman jumps from Dead Man's Point, follow the path to
the cave. Upon analysis of Dr. Young's research, she has created a formula
similar but more powerful than the one that makes Bane the beast that he is.
Use the newly acquired Batclaw to remove the three boxes blocking the path. Jump
to the distant platform and continue forward. Use the Claw to remove the vent
cover above and grapple to the opening.
Sewers
On the other side of the vent Batman will find himself in the sewers. An enemy
is below talking to Joker via a radio. Take him out then get the Chronicle of
Arkham that is nearby. Greet the thugs ahead with a few fists and the path
forks. Before deciding which way to go pick up the Interview Tape on the ground
and get the Riddler Trophy above. Take the right path and open the door for a
surprise. Since that way is blocked return and follow the left path exiting at
the end. (Along the way just after Oracle speaks is a breakable wall hiding a
Riddler Trophy).
Climb up to the opening in the column to the right and jump to the platform.
Move to the left side of the screen to get a Riddler Trophy then return. Move up
the brick columns to the top (the path should not be too difficult to navigate).
Enter the hall at the top and move through the door. Pick up the Interview Tape
and go up the stairs. Destroy the wall and jump across the gap. Exit through
this final door to reach the surface.
================================================================================
Arkham Mansion
================================================================================
The exit point to the surface leaves Batman in Arkham North. Defeat the two
armed enemies in the guard towers then attack the group in the center of the
area. Once finished move to Arkham East and a quick battle at the start. Move by
the ambulance and be prepared for some armed thugs. There are four snipers in
Arkham East now: one in each guard tower and two above the door to Arkham
Mansion. Once the guard tower snipers are out move to the side of the Mansion
and grapple to the ledge the snipers are stadning (Batman should be hanging from
the side). One sniper paces back and forth while the other is stationary.
Wait for a sniper to approach then perform a ledge takedown. Batman can climb up
and fight the final sniper or shimmy over for another ledge takedown. Enter
through the main doors only to be stopped by a forcefield and ridiculed by a
couple of good for nothing thugs. Exit and look above where the snipers were.
Use the Bat Claw to pull of the cover and enter the mansion.
Leave the initial room. Glide kick the thug with the gun then break the bones
of the remaining two. The door at the top of the stairs is blocked. Instead
grapple up to the platform above the door and use the Bat Claw to remove the
cover on the ceiling. Explosive gel will open the path. The next room contains
several thugs (10 to be exact) but all are unarmed. The only adjoining hall
(it leads to the South Wing) to this one contains a riddle answer. Go up the
stairs by the large statue and enter the West Wing. A thug is threatening some
Asylum staff. Sneak up on him or throw a Batarang to disable him. Now that those
two are safe move into the Records Rooom to help officer Cash. The suidice
collars will now go off for the enemies you defeat alerting every thug in the
are to Batman's presence.
Records Room
Inside the Records room are 6 armed thugs. Use Detective Mode to locate their
positions. If you have the Inverted Takedown upgrade its fun and efffective
to use when they are walking beneath the gargoyles. Be patient and take out the
enemies as you see fit (the possibilities are immense). Once the first thug is
down the rest scatter and move about. Free Cash and the other guard when all the
thugs are unconscious. Cash tells Batman that Dr. Young is in her office. Use
the stairs opposite the Restricted
Files room and enter the North Corridor. The corridor ends at a door that leads
to Dr. Young's office but it is blocked. Look to the left and remove the vent
cover. Follow the path to a holding cell for a Riddle Solution then look high on
the wall to enter the ventilation system. Batman is now walking above the
metal mesh ceiling of the Northern Corridor (Riddler Trophy near door to Records
Room). The next vent takes Batman to the entrance to Dr. Young's office.
Dr. Young's Office
Three of Joker's henchmen are trying to get into the office. Glide kick the one
with the gun then knock all of them unconscious. The door is securely closed,
of course it is, Batman can never simply open a door to enter a room. Go up the
stairs then use the Bat Claw to remove the cover above the sinks. Use the
ventilation duct to enter Dr. Young's office. Someone has already taken the
notes from the safe. The genius that he is, Batman was able to deduce that Dr.
Young is in possesion of the notes and hiding them from the Joker. Search and
scan the safe for a fingerprint on the safe to track Dr. Young. Scan the Black
Mask on the wall for a Riddle Solution.
Dr. Young's fingerprints leads directly to the door ahead, behind which is a
group of enemies waiting for cracked skulls. Follow the prints to the Main Hall
and defeat the two thugs. Continue into the South Corridor to face a couple more
enemies. The trail leads to the Library. Take down the thugs inside and move
down the stairs ahead to find some Asylum staff members tied to chairs.
Joker says the room will fill with gas in two minutes so Batman better be quick
to the rescue. Unfortunately the easy path is blocked by a security gate. Return
to the entry to the library and grapple up to the third level. Use the vent to
find a way to the top of the library. Throw a Batarang at the rope holding the
chandelier. It will come crashing down through the glass below. Jump down and
disarm the package. In case you didn't know Batman doesn't have to be in any
hurry Joker never planned on filling the library with gas. The countdown was
fake. The Joker's thugs have taken Dr. Young hostage. Enter Detective Mode to
find the doctor's fingerprints on a book. The formula is inside the book and the
Joker's plans have been spoiled. The notes for the formula are with Batman and
the world is safe again.
Remembering the Past
What's that? The Joker still has Dr. Young hostage and is trying to encourage
her to reveal the formula? Thats good because this ending would be a little
anti-climactic. Exit the Library toward the South Corridor only to catch a bit
of a cold near the door. Once in the South Corridor it mysteriously begins to
rain. Exit the door at the end of the alley. Through this door is a giant
Scarecrow again. I guess that cough at the exit to the library was really
Scarecrow's fear gas. Huh, thats kind of cool. Watch for Scarecrow's gaze and
avoid it. When you make it to the next large column use the Bat Claw to pull the
crate down. Use the crate for cover then repeat with the next crate. Climb the
ledge and move down beside the file cabinets. Scarecrow will create a group of
skeletons for Batman to fight. Next when the giant villain is looking away jump
to the ledge and shimmy around for protection from his gaze. Climb the next two
platforms and be prepared to jump to the next one when Scarecrow's sight is
directed to the left of the screen. Now climb up to the ledge and shimmy around
quickly to hide. Continue forward and prepare for another skeleton fight.
Grapple to the high platform then jump/shimmy to the next. Scarecrow's gaze is
close to the Bat Signal. Wait for him to look your way then jump to the next
platform. There is plenty of time to be patient and avoid the pendulum. Crouch
here until it is safe then climb up and run to the right to crouch behind a
small wall. Jump the railing ahead and wait for Scarecrow to begin moving his
sight to the left of the screen. When he does climb up, jump to the platform
with the Bat Signal, and use it to hit Scarecrow.
Warden's Office
Batman ends up in the clock tower. The trap door is locked and there is no way
out. That is with the exception of using a Batarang to cut the rope holding the
bell. Jump down and enter the East Wing. The new enemy ahead has a stun gun. Any
kind of frontal attack will result in damage to Batman. Use the double tap evade
to jump over the thug and attack him from behind. Enter the door the thug was
standing in front of. Zsasz has Dr. Young hostage. He says do not come any
closer or the doctor dies. Move to the doorway Zsasz backed through and crouch
for cover. Aim the Batarang near Dr. Young and wait for Zsasz to show his face.
Hit him with the Batarang and enjoy the following cinematic.
When Batman gets up he is attacked by four thugs. One of which has a stun rod.
Use the evade move to get behind the armed enemy and disarm him. Now its just
a normal fight. Locate the Warden's broken cane to find a forensic trail. After
scanning it Batman can track Harley and the Warden. Before leaving the office
get the map and solve a Riddle. The next set of enemies along the DNA trail is
located in the Main Hall. Three enemies are guarding the hall. Two are hiding
behind columns near the stairs while the third is guarding the exit. Grapple to
the gargoyles and move to the platform above the door. Drop behind the thug at
the exit. Place some Explosive Gel at the base of the steps (maybe even some on
the steps).Take the nearby thug out silently then return to the ceiling. The
remaining enemies become aware of their missing teammate and will both guard the
door. While waiting on the gargoyle detonated the Explosive Gel. This should (if
placed well) knock both thugs to the ground. Drop down quickly and perform
ground take downs on the fallen foes. Alternatively this could be a good spot to
use the Sonic Batarang if the upgrade has been unlocked. Exit the Mansion
following the blood trail to an abandoned tunnel.
Grapple over the gates to find 6 enemies two of which are armed. Glide down and
hit one of the armed thugs then focus on the other quickly. Once the guns are
dropped the fight is easy (I didn't really see a clever way of handling this
situation the two Batarangs may be useful but had not been purchased yet). Be
careful though because any of the thugs can pick up a dropped gun at any time.
Move through the door and activate Detective Mode. There is a sniper in the
guard tower. Grapple up and use a ledge takedown. Find the blood trail up the
stairs and fend of the thugs (one of which has a stun rod). Enter the
Penitentiary.
================================================================================
Penitentiary
================================================================================
Three enemies stand in front of Batman. One is armed. Sneak up on the armed
guard and perform a takedown, then easily take the other two out. The DNA trail
leads to a locked gate take a detour around the gate via the shower room. The
Men's and Women's Restrooms have a Trophy and Riddle Solution. Continue to the
Main Cell Block and activate Detective Mode to see numerous bodies behind the
next door. They are all locked away in cells but seem crazy. The trail leads to
Poison Ivy in the Green Mile. After the cinematic exit to the Security Control
Room. The Warden is located in the guard tower tied up. Before moving up the
stairs though investigate Officer Cash in the cell for a Riddler Solution. When
Batman arrives at the Warden a cinematic shows some prisoners being released.
Untie the Warden and he gives you a security card. This action unlocks the
Cryptographic Sequencer used to bypass security systems. Use the new device on
the WayneTech box at the top of the stairs to disable the security gate. Move
to exit the Security Control Room but first climb the stairs near the door for
a Riddler Trophy.
Back at the Green Mile and there is no Ivy. Grab the Riddler Trophy in a cell
to the left. At the exit an inmate will attack. Upon arrival back in the Main
Cell Block Harley electrifies the floor. The cur
