A YEAR HAS PASSED

It’s been a year since riots at Arkham Asylum practically destroyed the

facility. Between the damage caused there and to Blackgate Prison, there

are no facilities to place the criminals of Gotham City. Threatened with the

untenable option of releasing dangerous criminals, the citizens of Gotham

have chosen another option. Newly elected Mayor Quincy Sharp is leading

the charge to use the old slums of Gotham as its own prison. The region

has been walled off and dubbed “Arkham City.”

The desperate blocks of Arkham City are practically a lawless land. Osten-

sibly protected by TYGER guard forces, the reality of the situation is much

more grim. Prisoners rally to the most powerful and charismatic of their

numbers, violence is commonplace, and literally no one on the outside

seems to know—or care—what’s going on.

Hugo Strange, a psychiatrist, is in charge of all TYGER guard forces. Few

know what this man is capable of and his motives are unclear as well.

From the shadows, Batman watches. Something is changing inside

Arkham City and he’ll be there when it all starts to unravel. The ravages of

TITAN. The mystery of Protocol 10. The identity of Batman himself. Where

will it all lead?

From the Library of Paul Perry

This book is a compendium of those secrets. Within its pages are the locations of all the hidden trophies, impor-

tant areas and activities of Arkham City. Readers will learn how to lead Batman through the long night, defeating

hundreds of mindless thugs and the greatest villains. Batman’s actions in Arkham City are revealed, step-by-step.

Readers are also shown the activities of Catwoman as she takes advantage of the chaos.

Those who want to learn about side missions will ﬁ nd that all of them are recorded in detail.

There is also material regarding special gadget upgrades, superior experience techniques

and enhanced combat methods. Whether you’re a collector, a riddle solver, or a crime

ﬁ ghter, this book has the tools that you need. Gotham needs you to be the best. We’ll

help make that a reality.

Refer to these callout boxes for

additional strategies.

Maps illustrate key locations.

Now Batman has access to the regional map, so press the appropriate button to access it. Examine the area to the north of the Ace Chemicals building;

Batman must get down from there and move north to reach the courthouse.

Run to the edge of the building and glide off into the night sky. Steer Batman over the large group of

men near Park Row and try to get as close as possible to the courthouse before landing.

Despite this clever entrance, Batman can’t get inside without a ﬁght. Several of Strange’s guards spot

the Dark Knight. Some of them are unarmed, but two are sporting baseball bats. It won’t be enough

to save them, though!

over, using

counterattacks to

prevent anyone

from successfully

attacking. Note

that the interface

shows there is a

Special Combo Takedown. However, it is only available when

your combo meter has reached eight or higher! These combos

are used for instantly taking down enemies. Use these combos

against targets with body armor, shields and bladed weapons.

SILENCING THE VOICES

It is possible

to reach the

convicts strolling

along Park Row.

Simply leap over

that fence to

fight an extra

battle. Anyone

interested in

experience—or

some fun with

fisticuffs—

should try it out.

Travel around the entire southern side of the courthouse to

fight multiple groups of thugs and even save a prisoner for

additional experience rewards! This is part of the “Acts of

Violence” side mission. These peripheral activities grant

Batman experience, extra gadgets and open a few cool

stories. These missions are discussed at length in a later

chapter in this book.

Watch for the opportunity to use the Special

Combo Takedown.

Rescue Jack Ryder to learn more about Strange.

COURTHOUSE

Main Entrance

After exploring Park Row, approach the courthouse.

Another group of thugs is waiting near the entry-

way, talking about the downsides of crossing—or

even annoying—Harvey Dent. Ambush this group

of chatty enemies and knock ‘em out!

Enter through the front of the courthouse. There

are two adjoining halls near the main entrance.

Both routes are locked, so Batman can’t access the

courtroom ﬂoor from here. Instead, take the central

stairs to the second ﬂoor. The windows on the

second ﬂoor overlook the courtroom. Harvey Dent

is down there, protected by a horde of loyal hench-

men. His captive is the lovely Catwoman!

Upper Entrance

Main Courtroom

Batman has time to look around before entering the courthouse. There are

fences blocking off the ways into and out of the area. Convicts are stafﬁng

each blockade. They taunt Batman when he gets too close, but they can’t

do anything to him.

Calendar Man’s Location

Rear Exit

When you’re ready, proceed to the church

marked on the in-game map. There are several

guards outside complaining about the weather.

For a great start to this ﬁ ght, zip above them and

then drop down. This gives Batman a decisive

advantage, plus it also looks rather intimidating.

Eliminate the threat outside of the church doors

and listen to Alfred when he calls in. Word is

that Harley Quinn is inside the church. Most

people would take that as a sign to stay far

away, but not Batman!

There are plenty of side tasks to undertake at this time. Ex-

plore Arkham City to find a couple of extra fights. Also, there

are some political

prisoners on the

north side of the

map (northeast

from the

courthouse).

This is also the

first time that you

have more control

over where to

travel. For those

who enjoy puzzles

and searching for

treasure, take to

the rooftops and the alleyways. The Riddler has scattered

trophies for Batman to find all over Arkham City. Some of them

are hard to find, while others are out in the open.

The appearance of green question marks is a sure sign that

the Riddler has been nearby. Be curious! Every trophy found

is worth experience, plus there may be greater rewards

as well!

First Appearance Batman: Harley Quinn #1 [ October 1999 ]

Attributes

-Surprising strength and stamina

-Superior gymnastic skills

-Total disregard for human life

An Arkham Asylum psychiatrist assigned to treat the Joker, Dr. Harleen Quinzel instead

became obsessively ﬁ xated on her patient, believing herself to be in love with him.

She helped him escape and took on her own criminal identity as Harley Quinn.

Quinn is a violent and unpredictable felon whose only motivation is achieving

the Joker’s approval.

Because of his cruel and mercurial nature, this in some ways makes her just another of

his victims—albeit a very dangerous one.

Since the Joker’s Titan overdose in Arkham Asylum, Harley’s mind has further

deteriorated. She is blindly determined to put a smile back on his face.

Height 5 Ft. 9 Inches

Weight 215 Lbs

First Appearance Detective Comics #259

[ September 1958 ]

Attributes

-Obsessed with quirks of the calendar

Fixated on the calendar, Julian Day became Calendar Man, a

villain who timed and tied his crimes thematically to certain

holidays throughout the year, often leaving clues by which he

could be caught.

Gotham City’s hopes for a day off are often clouded by the

knowledge that any holiday of note is likely to be shadowed by

Calendar Man’s presence.

SEARCH FOR THE JOKER

Leave the courthouse

via the upper front

entrance and defeat

the thugs in front of

the building. They can’t

block the courthouse

doors if they’re all

unconscious! If you

purchased something new when Batman leveled, now is the time to try it

out during this straightforward engagement. Batman’s next target is a build-

ing to the east (refer to the map for its location).

Each trophy is worth experience and possibly more.

OL: Reach the church to the east.

Bios shed details on

heroes and villains alike.
