Batman: Arkham City

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Its actually a riddle for the riddler. Not far from the last fight of the game. Just click scan. You'll know when you are getting to the end of the game anyways. By then youll have enough of the "clues" from riddlers informants to be told theres something around the area.

Don't worry after finishing the game you are given the chance to wander around you can always find it again later.

I thought the outfit was the riddle, the easter egg only shows up close to the end of the game.

Wiki says that they are going to release 4 more missions that tie into the Catwoman Story, anybody else heard anything like this. I'd be great if they did give us more story to work with, but I don't want to get excited if it's just a fake Wiki story.

It's been part of the DLC that they said they'd be releasing from the start - it's probably dated by now, I assume since they are doing 4 or 5 packs and the other dates that I have seen have been close to ending in December.. I would say that the Catwoman pack which is the second one, might be this Tuesday even.

Just beat the main story. If this is the final game for the whole Arkham thing, I am SORT OF disappointed.

I loved the whole Clayface thing as I didnt see it coming, despite reading about Clayface being a part of the ending on here. I didnt really know WHEN the game was going to end, either.

That said, Im also disappointed that the final battle was Clayface and everything afterwards was just a cutscene. Granted, I LOVED the ending, but I was expecting a bigger final battle. I was actually waiting for Joker to go into the Lazarus Pit and become immortal and somehow have that be the final battle: Batman vs an immortal Joker.

That said, if there is a third game to follow this up (granted, Im not sure HOW they can, but Im sure the people behind the game could come up with something) then the ending to this would be worth it.

Also, I do have to say I was very meh on having to do the final Catwoman mission after the main story was completed. Would have been better if that was somehow put where the third act for her was.

Speaking of her, would me choosing to split with the loot instead of going to save Batman done anything special? Or would it have just been you choosing to ditch Batman, but the game doesnt let you continue until you go save him?

Really good game. I loved the new gadgets it brought, the story was a great continuation despite me not having any idea who most of the villains were, and the gameplay was incredibly satisfying.

It's unlikely to be the final one in this series - one of the side missions seems to exist almost entirely to set up a specific villain to be a major threat in the next game. On top of that, the finale and the dialogue immediately after did establish a strong motive for Ra's to return seeking revenge, Harley has an obvious storyline set up, and several other characters are left in a position to return too - so they've set up plenty of scope for the storyline(s) to continue. I imagine it'll be the last one with Arkham in the title though, as there are several hints in the dialogue that the next one will be in Gotham itself.

I still need to go back to do the side missions. I just found Zasz's hide out but I stopped there as I needed a break.

If there is a third Arkham, that will be fantastic. Id love to see the aftermath of the aftermath of Asylum, especially with the destruction brought about by Strange. I wonder if they'd continue 'upgrading' the environment or just have it be more of an Arkham City 2 thing. If another game with the same engine/by the same people is made for Gotham, well Im not sure what words can describe how amazing it could be.

Ill miss Joker if he isnt in any more of the games, though. I wouldnt be surprised if they somehow fit something in to have him be alive after all, but it doesnt seem likely sadly.

The latter. You go into Gotham, fade to rolling credits, with Oracle making a distress call saying everyone's dead....

Then they "rewind" back to the vault so you can save him.

EDIT- Also, anyone who CBA to actually complete the Riddler challenges should reconsider for the really awesome interview tapes.

Apparently I am missing gadgets... There is still one 'locked' slot in my gadgets Waynetech menu, and Im not sure if it is...

the cluster freeze bomb or the sonic shock batarang

Anybody have all the gadgets yet to let me know?

[phatman]

my guess is it's the cluster freeze bomb... Well when I got that one it unlocked the trophy saying I had got all the gadgets... Everything else you just acquire through the XP upgrades I believe...

[thatblindgeye]

I thought the sonic shock batarang was different from the sonic batarang when you make it explode. Don't I feel silly.

Though I did manage to get every Riddler trophy, minus the Catwoman ones, and the Riddles, TYGER cameras, etc etc. Only thing left is some of the Predator challenges so that I can wrap up the Riddler sidequest, try to do the other two AR things, and finish the Identity Thief sidequest up. Then I shall be done, but I wont worry if I dont get that done by Tuesday so that I can switch over to Revelations.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

The ID theft ones didnt show til the end for me, then bam bam bam one after another.

[OctoberRaven]

I don't think there's a specific time when they appear really, just whenever you find them

[EWB's Best Poster.]

On that one? You actually get told "hey I found another blah blah blah" over the mic.

So yeah, just do all the other stuff it will come to you eventually. My friend had the exact same experiance.

[OctoberRaven]

Huh. I kind of just... found them.

[phatman]

I'm the same as ORO... Although I haven't finished it yet, I've found like 3 bodies or something but Oracle or whoever it is on the radio, hasn't said shit to me about the ID Theft killer... I've just lucked upon the dead bodies at different stages...

Gah, 399/400 Riddler challenges completed. The only thing I have left to do is the physical challenge of bataranging an explosive weapon before a thug throws it. I've completed the story & side missions, anyone have any suggestions about where to go to have this happen?

[apsham]

I can't remember any explosive weapons - unless.. did they have grenades? I know I am reading online that Robin has some kind of ability to spot explosive weapons, is it possible that these are only unlocked when you have the Robin DLC active?

[alldaws1]

No, like propane tanks or fire extinguishers. Has to be able to do it with Batman, I've not got any DLC or even Catwoman and I've managed the first 399 challenges.

[apsham]

OH. Right.. I got you.

I always sucked at stopping them from throwing the shit in battle.
