In-game story says something about the parole board letting all of the criminals walk after the events of Arkham City.


Azrael stays brainwashed, Batman dodges, and then knocks him out and locks him up in GCPD with the other criminals. With Scarecrow, he just patiently waits for you to take off your belt and get into his truck since this is the last moment before the endgame. If you put your belt back on, he's just like "Eh, you'll be back."

Whoa. So are you locked out of the AR mission where you play as him then? That's actually really cool.My lock up is at 99% even though I've done every Most Wanted. Is that why? Time to start Knightfall.

So I finished the story content but I've still got one more gadget slot open (just to the left of the top slot), and there are steam vents hiding Riddler trophies in a few places that I don't know how to deal with. Anyone know what I'm missing?

The Freeze Blast. It's sitting on a table next to the Isolation Chambers at the movie studio. Turn left as you come in the door. Look for a Batsuit Pod.

Comic book villains, dude. poo poo, just within this single franchise, Scarecrow has been both a whiny-voiced dweeb and a grizzled visage of fear. His motivation is To Be A Bad Guy.

But if he's wiping out that many cities he'll just get bombed in retaliation. You can't take over the world when you're dead via whatever fantasy nuke the DC universe has, not to mention if you mess with enough cities Superman just swoops in and knocks you out. Hell even Lex Luthor doesn't want that sort of damage on his watch, most of the time. The reason these guys get away with anything is because they keep things relatively low-key. Well, besides deciding to just send missiles to wipe out an entire prison population in the last game but the plot had sort of crumbled by then.

Also I hosed up and got killed by a henchman during a fight, and the henchman actually got to pop up on the death screen to do a pithy one-liner - never seen that in any of the Arkham games before and thought it was pretty neat :)

Harley wasn't very fun to play as. Red Hood was better. Neither one was Batman levels of fun, but that was to be expected. What wasn't to be expected was that they'd only last for about 15 seconds.

Scarecrow doesn't care about money. His research and his toxins are the only things he cares about. There's no end goal after "flood the entire eastern seaboard with toxin" unless it's "flood everywhere else with toxin".

This actually gets specifically brought up in the airship, in Simon Staggs audio logs. Stagg says that he would be willing to pay Crane outrageous amounts of money to work for him, for his chemical expertise alone, nevermind how much money could be made off his research, but Crane doesn't give even half a poo poo about money.

Attack. Run away. Attack. Run Away.
Once you blow up a cobra the rest will home in on that location, so you need to book it out of there until they go back to looking for you.

There's also a Batmobile upgrade that makes them chase down the location of where you shoot your cannon.

Be very patient, especially if you don't have the cobra lure upgrade. You'll just have to hit and run.

I like combat more, but I think I like predator less. The majority of the maps being outside (ala the Tower in Arkham City) really throws off my game. It's way too easy to get spotted. And way too easy to spam Fear Multis. So are we assuming they're going to let us play as Jason, Harley, Robin, Ex-Robin, and Catwoman in these AR Challenges or has that been confirmed?

Ok, i think i sussed out what those cockroach boxes are. They're a riddler challenge.

I came across some Harley boxes that i smashed and after 5 a riddler challenge popped up so i'm assuming those cockroach boxes are the same (i only found 3).

They are. They're breakables like Joker's teeth in Asylum. There's the Scarecrow boxes, Harley boxes, Militia shields, and Arkham Knight's mini drones.

It's either the freeze grenade or just somehow randomly you need to get a hold of the programming chip for the riddler-bots to let you control them with the voice gadget. Not exactly sure how you get the last one exactly, seems like you just have to get it from fighting one in free roam, but I didn't get one right away.
